Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
When I applied for a loan from this company ( Atlantic Bay Mortgage ) via a loan officer named XXXX XXXX, I offered him a letter from the Commissioner of Revenue in XXXX  XXXX dated XXXX, stating that I was exempt from paying real estate taxes because I am a 100 % service connected permanently XXXX veteran. He refused the letter saying it would be taken care of after I closed, I closed on XX/XX/XXXX. In XXXX XXXX I sent the mortgage company : Atlantic Bay Mortgage a copy of the newly approved letter from the Commissioner of Revenue stating again that I was exempt from the taxes. I asked the mortgage company to please adjust my mortgage to reflect a new payment minus the taxes. They have refused to do so. I went back to the Commissioner of Revenue who has tried to help me and gave me a copy of the past years ' XXXX  balance on real estate taxes, I sent them the document via upload onto their website, and hand delivered to their main office which is located here in XXXX  XXXX. They currently have an escrow of over {$200000.00} that they refuse to refund to me. They have even gone out far enough to send me an escrow statement and tell me that I am {$1.00} short of escrow. I am on fixed income and need this reduction of mortgage premium, and I need my escrow refund. This is my entitled benefit and they have no right to refuse a mandate by the goverment. I am not getting any help from the mortgage company at all to resolve this. I need help from a higher source to make them follow the State 's mandate. I wonder how much money this company is making by keeping XXXX veterans tax escrow. Here is the link to the State 's regulation on Military Veterans with 100 % XXXX exemption of real estate taxes : XXXX XXXX XXXX I appreciate your help in this very important matter.

State: OH
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process
Sub-issue: Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan

Complaint:
I talked to Citizens prematurely when i inquired on programs if i were to miss a payment in XX/XX/2023. I was able to make XXXX payment and told Citizens to cancel my inquiry as i dont need help and don't need any assistance. 
Immediately i was bombarded with a loss mitigation status and am being sent foreclosure options even though im not late and told them. In XXXX they said don't worry about it and i replied, i am worried and don't need that on my record because im not late and don't want it. 

I just found out that even though i have never been late in my payments MY PAYMENTS ARE BEING APPLIED TO FOREBEARANCE INTEREST. 

Please help me to opt out and remove the forbearance as i requested removal from the citizen bank unemployment forbearance program because Citizens is charging extra compounded interest. 

i need to have this entire loss mitigation removed and my account corrected. I need my mortgage account to be reviewed for accuracy. 
For months i have been fighting this and I thought it was over but when i went to pay extra on escrow i was told my account is in forbearance and that i wasn't permitted to do that. 
I called around and someone in Loss Mitigation helped me thru making an escrow payment. 
However i don't think it was applied correctly since i am coded in their system as being in forbearance. 

I am experiencing collection/loss mitigation calls and solicitation to foreclosure options and its not fair they are charging me forbearance interest and wont allow me the option to opt out. I never wanted any program and should have the right to opt out after months of calls to them. I have never been late and thought it was easy to correct this forbearance issue. 

For months i have been fighting this and need fairness and integrity. 
MY PAYMENTS ARE BEING MISAPPLIED TO FOREBEARANCE INTEREST due to the unemployment forbearance that they wont remove. 

I cant get get a loan. My credit has been affected from Citizens putting this on my credit report. 

There are ample notes in their system that i have called and canceled this inquiry on the unemployment forbearance in XXXX. 
XXXXI can't afford to pay the balance that will become due at the end of the forbearance period and need the payment applied correctly and not towards forbearance.

Complaint:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an XXXX & Equifax breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

Complaint:
I do not know why I keep getting bills from this company. I stayed at a XXXX a few years back and the only thing I purchased was the time I stayed in the room. Soon after I got home from that trip, I started to receive bills in my name from them. I have been paying them because my credit is extremely important to me. I have been disputing this with the credit bureaus and it still remains. It is not even reporting accurately. There are inconsistencies between the bureaus in account numbers wherein the account number in Equifax shows as XXXX then in XXXX it shows as XXXX. I have called them directly to have them close the account but they refuse. They also have not been able to give me any type of verification that the account was mine. I have been requesting this account to be closed for a couple years at this point. I have been scammed out of a lot of money. I can not get anyone to help me. This is fraud. I have requested multiple times for verification of this account but the creditor has refused to provide any information. Ive sent out demands to have this account verified on dates XX/XX/2020, XX/XX/2020, XX/XX/2020, XX/XX/2020 and Ive had no responses. Ive sent out requests to Equifax and XXXX  into the original creditor. This willful neglect has not only caused much financial hardship, but is a direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I need help in this situation because I can not refinance many loans I have or obtain new lines of credit.

Complaint:
So on top of the XXXX discrimination regarding the theft of funds from the bank account I previously held with this institution from the Bank of America to Bank of America transfer done by my friend and cousin to my account to pay back funds that were borrowed, the higher ups in the account closure team have consistently lied to me on three separate occasions about funds that was owed to me that they say was mailed out to me at my address was not actually mailed out to me at all. This bank keeps putting its own foot in its mouth regarding any of my stolen funds that was done on behalf of this institution. This is crazy to really have people waiting over a year and a half for an investigation and when they cant find any wrongdoing they still wan na hold and keep my money so they can use to invest in their own way to make more money? The bank keeps telling me about a hold harmless account which if my funds were harmless they wouldve been sent back instead of being frozen so that they could use it for the own gain. And than when I voice my opinion on the matter on XXXX they get my account blocked because people were agreeing with me. This is grand larceny at its finest being done by a big institution. I will definitely be screenshotting and recording everything from now on regarding this situation and the false information being provided towards the resolution.
