State: CA
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: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
No contract Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) allows CRAs to furnish consumer reports in accord with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. Late payment reported Negatively impacted Issue not resolved after multi attempts Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting The Congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. ( 2 ) An elaborate mechanism has been developed for investigating and evaluating the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and general reputation of consumers. ( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers. ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. Gap a ) Abusive practices There is abundant evidence of the use of abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices by many debt collectors. Abusive debt collection practices contribute to the number of personal bankruptcies, to marital instability, to the loss of jobs, and to invasions of individual privacy. ( b ) Inadequacy of laws Existing laws and procedures for redressing these injuries are inadequate to protect consumers. ( c ) Available non-abusive collection methods Means other than misrepresentation or other abusive debt collection practices are available for the effective collection of debts. ( d ) Interstate commerce Abusive debt collection practices are carried on to a substantial extent in interstate commerce and through means and instrumentalities of such commerce. Even where abusive debt collection practices are purely intrastate in character, they nevertheless directly affect interstate commerce. ( e ) Purposes It is the purpose of this subchapter to eliminate abusive debt collection practices by debt collectors, to insure that those debt collectors who refrain from using abusive debt collection practices are not competitively disadvantaged, and to promote consistent State action to protect consumers against debt collection abuses. Please review I have not supplied proof under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I presume that no proof of the alleged! debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact therefor exists.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
The Department of Education, through multiple servicers has added arbitrary debt to my loan on multiple occasions, some as long as ten years after I had already left school. 
They are adding thousands of dollars at a time to my debt load without explanation and have done so on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. 
Before these dates all records are missing. 
They have no records of the payments that I have made since XXXX. 
They keep adding to this debt and every time I try to submit a complaint with the Ombudsman, the Department of Education sends the complaint to the exact same individual working for my current servicer who continues to issue the same nonsense response every time. 
They say that I owe them tens of thousands of dollars, even though I have an approved application through Borrower 's Defense under Sweet V Cardona. 
They tell me that they have sent me multiple checks that I have never received. 
They say that I now owe for these checks. 
I am on an IDR plan with {$0.00} dollar payments, and have been paying since XXXX, over 20 years on an XXXX degree, but for some reason the debt remains and grows. 
I don't know what to do.

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

Complaint:
My husband and I closed on our home/VA Loan XX/XX/XXXX and paid our required funding fee of {$3400.00}. His Veteran XXXX claim was still pending at that time but was approved shortly after our closing date, at XXXX. This level of XXXX constitutes waiver of the funding fee and because his XXXX claim was opened and in process prior to our loan closing, we are entitled to a refund of the funding fee. 
We began our process to obtain the refund XX/XX/XXXX. We have contacted our local VA Regional Office, our original lender, XXXX, and Nationstar Mortgage, the final servicer to which the loan was sold. Research case XXXX was opened with Nationstar. The XXXX Regional VA office has repeatedly told us the lender must submit for the refund via a secure gov't website. Nationstar has repeatedly told us to reach out to the VA to obtain the refund. 
After countless phone calls and hours spent on hold with the VA and our lender, I was told to send Nationstar our Settlement Statement for the home loan showing the {$3400.00} funding fee payment as well as the VA Benefits Summary/Certificate of Eligibility. I again faxed this under the cover of XXXX and also emailed their research dept. 
I received response on XX/XX/XXXX from their research dept, that we were to contact the VA Office-the same incorrect response they have given multiple times. I responded to this email with detailed instructions and the link to the FAQs regarding the process that I was able to find online ( XXXX ) clearly asking them to reference Sections XXXX and XXXX for the request process to be followed by lenders and Section I which discusses how a lender can register their lender ID in the system, get their PIN, etc. if that company is not already registered. This is the process they need to use to request our funding fee refund be paid to them by the VA at which point they can apply it to our principal. 
I then received another response from the Research Dept on XX/XX/XXXX in which they asked me to reference their prior response on XX/XX/XXXX-that we needed to contact the VA for the refund. As the link above clearly shows, the veteran does not request the refund. It must be done by the lender because it was paid as part of our loan closing.
