Consumer complaint received 2023-10-09
Company: NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP INC
State: UT
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage
Sub-issue: Applying for or obtaining a modification, forbearance plan, short sale, or deed-in-lieu

Complaint:
My complaint is failure to respond to my request for a loan modification, leaving my application in limbo, and then selling my loan to another servicer. 

I could no longer afford my mortage payment when taxes were added through escrow and the payments doubled. I could not pay my taxes because they keep going up as well as the cost of living and I am on a fixed income. 

I called Flagstar Loss Mitigation Department and spoke to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX to inquire about payment assistance. She suggested completing their online loan modificaiton application. I completed the application on XX/XX/XXXX and supplied all of the requested supporting documents. 

I went online to check the status of the application a couple times a week and it showed as still under review. I also called my personal contact, XXXX XXXX, and got a recorded message that my application was under review and there was no need for me to speak to anyone. 

It was about the third week that there was a Notice of Transfer message on my account that said the following : Notice of Transfer " Effective XX/XX/XXXX, your loan XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   will no longer be serviced by Flagstar Bank. 

Your new loan servicer of loan number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. 

After XX/XX/XXXX you can contact XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX for more information. '' On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Flagstar dated XX/XX/XXXX that stated that they reserved the right to accelerate foreclosure .... There may be options available other than foreclosure .... with phone number I called before. 

Why won't Flagstar acknowedge or work with me on a loan modification? I received no correspondence from them that accepted or rejected my application. They sold my loan instead of working with me to keep my home.

Flagstar has been sanctioned previously for not trying to help customers stay in their homes and illegal foreclosure. Is this more of the same?

State: GA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I have XXXX late payments reporting on my credit report due to PNCs error. The first late payment was on XX/XX/XXXX it was during the pandemic and I was told by a representative that I would be approved for a skipped payment. I elected for this option because I was laid off. The representative assured me that I would be approved and this call was recorded. Two weeks later, I saw that I WAS NOT approved and that the payment reported late for that month ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 
The second occurrence was XX/XX/XXXX. I made a payment and PNC confirmed there was a glitch in the system and it did not properly record my payment even though I had proof. I reached out to a XXXX XXXX in the executive relations dept. After emailing him 3 times, he finally responded. He assured me that the error would be fixed and that he would follow up. He never did. So I called back and escalated my complaint further. I spoke to a man named XXXX. He reviewed my complaint and stated that he would remove the late payment. The payment is STILL on my account and my mothers credit report XXXX XXXX ( who was my co signer ). I have proof that I spoke to these people and they promised to remove the late payments, but NEVER did.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern : Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Im writing because I noticed that my most recent credit report contains an old account that was included in my bankruptcy - XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX in the amount of {$1600.00}. 

According Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, debt discharged in bankruptcy has a statute of limitations for reporting - 7 years. This account was paid off/ discharged in 2015, which is 7 years ago. 

As a single mother of 3, Im planning to apply for a mortgage as a first time homebuyer, and its come to my attention that the missed payment on my record could hurt my ability to qualify. I truly believe that it doesnt reflect my creditworthiness and commitment to repaying my debts. It would help me immensely if you could give me a second chance and make a goodwill adjustment to remove the very old account Thank you for your consideration, and I hope youll approve my request.

Complaint:
I looked at my credit report and seen BMW FIN SVC had reported 60 days late on my credit report which is misleading false information. They reported negative and defaming information beginning XX/XX/2016 on my credit report. I sent a letter to the company to update those late payements and i didnt get no reply back. They never supplied sufficient information to me in order to validate the late payment. I do not agree with their actions. I have challenged the accuracy and integrity of the information, because they are reporting different things across all three credit bureaus. 12 cfr 1022.41 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) state that data furnishers Reflects the terms of and liability for the account or other relationship ; Reflects the consumer 's performance and other conduct with respect to the account or other relationship ; and Identifies the appropriate consumer.

State: UT
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I accesses the Barclays website because my card was declined for a past due balance. I completely forgot to add the auto payment when I received my card. That one was on me. So I went online and added my bank info, made a payment, set up paperless billing and set up recurring payments. I thought my account was ready to go just like all my other accounts. I have a perfect credit report and I do not carry balances on my credit cards.

Fast forward 2 months to today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and I tried to make another purchase on the card and I was told that it is declined. I call the bank and I am told that I have a large balance that is past due ( it was due XX/XX/XXXX ). I tell them there must be a mistake because I set up auto payments. They tell me I did not. I think there is a bank website error. 

The Escalation manager is unwilling to help me even though I told him that I am planning to pay the entire balance on the card today. He said that he can not provide a late fee waiver because one was  provided previously unless it was a bank error. I told him that I think it was a bank error, but he is unwilling to help me and unfairly accuses me of not setting up my account properly even though he can clearly see that I had accessed the site in XXXX and had performed all the actions stated above. 

I have had nothing but problems with this Bank from the day I signed up for this rewards credit card and it has been the worst customer service experience that I have ever had. I work for a very reputable bank and we would NEVER treat our customers this way.
