Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I recently obtained copies of my consumer reports from the credit reporting agencies ( Experian, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX ) to discover that your company 's information continues to be reported in a manner that violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As previously communicated in past notices, I have raised concerns about one or more potential violations in the past, emphasizing the importance of complying with consumer rights and FCRA regulations. Specifically, I am referring to the closed accounts associated with the following : XXXX. XXXX XXXX Credit Card Account # XXXX XXXX. ) XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : LOAN # XXXX, ACCOUNT # XXXX. 

Upon reviewing my credit reports, I have noticed that XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting my experiences with your company in a manner that raises significant concerns about potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The specific matter of concern pertains to the categorization of my line of credit with your company as " utilization '' and the categorization of my payment history / status with your company as transactions, on my consumer reports. It is my firm belief, supported by the relevant legal provisions, that your company is unlawfully reporting this information on my consumer reports. I would like to draw your attention to 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), which states : " 2 ) Exclusions.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term 'consumer report ' does not include ( A ) subject to section 1681s3 of this title, any ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. '' The law is unequivocal in its statement that information pertaining to transactions or experiences between the consumer ( myself ) and the person ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), making the report, should not be included on consumer credit reports. Utilization is inherently an experience with the line of credit extended between the consumer ( myself ) and your company,, which qualifies it as an experience that should not be reported on my consumer credit reports. Payment history or status is inherently transactions, between the consumer ( myself ) and the person ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) which qualifies it as information that should not be reported on my consumer credit reports! By reporting this transaction on all of my consumer reports, XXXX XXXX XXXX appears to be in clear violation of the FCRA ( 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) ).

Company: SERVICEMAC, LLC
State: NY
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
**BACKGROUND** I closed on this property on XX/XX/XXXX - my payment has been {$3100.00}, breakdown is as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$1700.00} Escrow : {$1300.00} - ( XXXX  at $ XXXX and insurance at roughly {$120.00} p/m - {$1000.00} for tax as my loan was underwritten to pay about $ XXXX in true property tax ). 

In XXXX the " True taxes '' were {$12000.00}. However, the town tax collector gave ServiceMac , LLC a tax bill iao {$4400.00}, as the previous owner 's " Aged '' exemption, in the amount {$5000.00} was applied to my XXXX tax bill by the Town. All this time, I have been paying my full mortgage payment, as broken down above. 

In XXXX, my tax bill came and it was the " true tax '' amount, plus the {$5000.00} Aged exemption, as a pro-rata charge from XXXX, increasing my taxes to $ XXXX, temporarily, to pay back the prior year 's exemption. 

I am a mortgage industry professional and understand how/why these things happen. The below is my issue with the servicer. 

**ISSUE** ServiceMac has misplaced escrow funds in the amount of {$7400.00} when they should have had enough funds to cover the first and second tax payment for XXXX as I have been contributing {$1000.00} per month in taxes since the loan originated. 

On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX, a Customer Resolution Specialist with ServiceMac , LLC advised : " When the account transferred to us the balance was {$5100.00}, but an initial error occurred that resulted in the balance showing {$12000.00}. The disbursement of {$7400.00} was to correct the escrow balance. '' - - - XXXX is incorrect. I had been paying {$1000.00} a month in tax escrows and ServiceMac only paid the taxes in the amount of {$4400.00} for XXXX, as well as having an escrow balance of over $ XXXX when the loan originated. There should have not been any adjustment to the escrow balance. 

As per the ServiceMac 's pay history - When I made my XX/XX/XXXX mortgage payment - my escrow balance was {$12000.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX - the loan service transferred to ServiceMac - XXXX XX/XX/XXXX there was an escrow adjustment in the amount of {$7400.00}, which then adjusted my escrow balance down to {$5100.00}. This was the servicer 's admitted error for which they have not corrected and subsequently raised my monthly payment by almost a thousand dollars. 

Additionally, ServiceMac sent me a {$5800.00} check and then canceled it with no notice - you will see this accounting error on the payment history. No remaining issue, other than negligent accounting practice. 

The attachments will show the correspondence with XXXX  XXXX, as well as a complete payment history for the life of the loan. I have also attached the town 's tax bills as reference.
