Consumer complaint received 2018-08-29
Company: CIT BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Mortgage debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
For the past several months we have receive notices from XXXX XXXX, regarding the collection & enforcement of our Home Line of Credit. The line of credit was executed between me and XXXX onXX/XX/XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX is trying to collect the debt and claims that the account is fully enforceable by its terms. XXXX XXXX is trying to establish enforcement on a Heloc or line of credit, however in the state of Florida the Heloc by its term is a non-negotiable instrument. 

Under Florida Law, the heloc is not a self-authenticating negotiable instrument. By its own terms, the note established a " credit limit '' of up to XXXX from which I could requested in advanced ..at any time. Further the note provided that all advances and other obligations ... will reduce your available credit ''. The heloc note was not unconditional promise to pay a fixed amount of money. Rather, it establishes the maximum amount of borrower power extended to a borrower by a given lender, to be drawn upon by the borrower as needed. See line of credit XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX ). 

The distinction is not esoteric legalese. Florida law is clear that a " negotiable instrument '' is " an unconditional promise or order to pay a fixed amount of money, with or without interest pr other charges described in the promise or order. '' 673.1041 ( 1 ), Fla. Stat. ( XX/XX/XXXX ). The Heloc note reflects no such undertaking. it only obligates me to repay whatever borrow, up to XXXX. Therefore the HELOC failed to require the payment of a fixed amount of money, making it nonnegotiable instrument. XXXX XXXX can not continue to enforce this debt as it is deemed nonnegotiable by its own terms.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
We have been the victim of criminal and systematic loan fraud by XXXX different Loan Servicing Companies. First, a company called XXXX produced and had us sign a fraudulent HUD statement that appeared to make our payment appear low. When the payments were made there was an escrow shortage and the payments kept climbing. After my dad died, we had approximately {$1500.00} stolen from our escrow account by loancare and they PAID SOMEONE ELSE 'S PROPERTY TAXES WITH OUR ESCROW. They used this shortage to DOUBLED OUR HOUSE PAYMENT. When confronted, they never corrected any of the issues and they sold the loan to Nationstar. 

Nationstar, after discovering the criminal fraud on the HUD statement, has never corrected the issue and they have now engaged in their own predatory loan practices. The escrow due/paid each year is XXXX a year for taxes and insurance in 2015, but they collected almost {$6000.00} for this XXXX bill in 2015. The payment went up yet again and now is almost double the original amount on the fraudulent HUD statement. 

I think they are actually preying on widows and widowers intentionally. The fraud started when my husband died and it has accelerated. I had a complete nervous breakdown and my son had to rescue the home from foreclosure. 35 years we had a loan and no problems. This behavior I have witnessed is intentional, criminal and it needs to be stopped. The fraud seems to be concentrated around escrow manipulation in numerous forms. 

HELP!!!! Please and thanks!!!

Complaint:
I XXXX XXXX the consumer, original creditor, natural person. Pursuant to Federal law 15 USC 1692 American Education Services is a 3rd party debt collector and is in violation of 57 Federally protected consumer law violations. American Education Services has failed to obtain and send verification of this alleged debt by not mailing me a contract. Instead of sending me a contract of this alleged debt, American Education Services sent statements which alleges we have a business agreement and we do not. Under the FDCPA it is unfair or unconscionable to attempt to collect an alleged debt in any amount that is not expressly authorized by an agreement creating the debt or permitted by law. 
Due to the fore going, you have caused me additional stress, frustration, credit damage, and costs. Furthermore, I XXXX XXXX the consumer, original creditor, natural person am not delinquent because there is no law that defines delinquency. This was initiated through the use of the open end credit using my social security card pursuant to 15 USC 1602 ( f ). 



You have also waived your opportunity to amicably resolve this issue without the need to litigate. This was your last opportunity to mitiage this matter and as a result I intend to forward this matter to an attorney or initiate litigation against you under the FDCPA.
