Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: MO
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021, My wife, XXXX, and I emailed XXXX XXXX at Citizens Bank NA inquiring about their medical professional mortgage program. This began a series of emails in which XXXX indicted that we qualified for this program and that our rate would be between 2.875 and 3.0, given our credit scores, home price, and loan amount. On XX/XX/XXXX, we completed an online loan application with Citizens. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX emailed us a few times including an email that offered the opportunity to lock in the rate of 3.0 with .25 points. We asked him to lock that rate in, and he confirmed that he had. We asked for a loan estimate, and he sent us what we believed to be a loan estimate ( but it was in fact a " pre-application cost estimate '' ). On XX/XX/XXXX, as part of our loan shopping process, we realized XXXX had not sent us a loan estimate, so we requested one over the phone. He told us that he could not give us one for at least 7-10 days because we first had to put in a formal loan application ( which we already had, since we had provided the 6 necessary pieces of info ). He said he could not provide us a loan estimate, but he did send us a rate lock agreement. XXXX told us we could not have more than one mortgage application open at a time, and he told us that it was illegal for another lender to " beat '' another lender 's rate. He discouraged the mortgage shopping process. 

We called the Citizens mortgage broker line to dig deeper and spoke with another loan officer. He told us that they intentionally ( and unethically ) don't ask for the address of the home in the application to avoid triggering XXXX ( a loan officer with another lender actually overheard him saying it because he was on the phone with my wife at the time ). While we didn't provide the address in the application ( because there's no place to ), we did provide it on XX/XX/XXXX along with our home purchase agreement. So, our application on XX/XX/XXXX ( or at least XX/XX/XXXX when we provided the address ) included all necessary info and should have triggered XXXX and entitled us to receive a loan estimate. 

We would like to receive the loan estimate that we are legally entitled to receive, including the terms outlined in the Rate Lock Agreement we were provided.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
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 contested the following information included on the attached files with Equifax and up until this day, they still hasn't responded to all the letters I mailed them. I tried multiple times to resolve this problem with them because I do not wish to pursue legal actions against them but they have been neglecting the duties mandated by the FCRA. This has caused me so much emotional and mental stress because they are degrading my credit rating by reporting erroneous information and preventing me to obtain the necessary credits amidst the pandemic. My credit rating and credibility has always been really important to me and I started researching about it and reaching out to people who might have an idea what to do and they referred me to your website. Equifax has violated so many laws, the investigation results and status were not communicated to me. I explicitly requested verified documentation for the supposed information reporting on my credit file, but I have yet to get anything. Despite being disputed, there is still a lot of inaccurate information on my credit report. I was not notified about the investigation as well as the results so I'm not even sure whether or not they did the investigation. If they did, the errors on my credit report were not fixed despite their " investigation ''.

Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I had a HELOC that was sold to Specialized Loan Servicing. I contacted this company for a payoff quote, I paid that amount. 

I called to have the account closed and the lien released, but I was told that I still owed another {$5.00}. When I argued they basically stated that they could do whatever they pleased. So, I requested an email or snail-mail copy of the payoff quote - neither was received. 

I paid off the {$5.00} that day ( XX/XX/2023 ) and called up several times to close the loan and remove all of my personal information from their systems several days in a row. Each time I was put on hold and transferred around until I was told that they didn't have the ability to do that or I was disconnected. 

Today I was transferred 5 times and finally, after threatening to file a complaint with the FTC, I was given to someone who said they did not have to finalize my payment until 15 business days after it was received. As today was the 17th business day I asked her to close the account and release the lien. She said she couldn't because she wasn't authorized. I asked her why it hadn't been done she said " I don't know '' and when I asked why the lien release hadn't been sent to the county, she said, " I don't know. '' I insisted that it be closed immediately and she again refused. I asked her to connect me to someone who could do their job and she said there is no one else in the company to whom I could speak. Apparently, they plan to keep the lien on my account in perpetuity.

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

Complaint:
I am a consumer, XXXX XXXX, previously XXXX XXXX, and I am writing this complaint today because EQUIFAX violated my consumer rights as well as invaded my individual privacy. I notified EQUIFAX on multiple occasions that they NEVER had my consent to furnish my consumer report to various institutions. They neglected to abide by federal law as well as protect my consumer rights! They furnished my consumer report to 7 institutions on XX/XX/XXXX and 4 other institutions on XX/XX/XXXX without my DIRECT consent or without permissible purpose. This caused damages to my consumer report and according to EQUIFAX 's erroneous " scoring '' they labeled my credit worthiness as " poor '' for having multiple " hard inquiries ''. I spent months disputing these negative remarks with EQUIFAX over the phone with multiple representatives all to which refused to. These representatives stated inquiries are factual information and must remain on the report for two years! I had no success getting these items removed from my consumer report or receiving documentary evidence from EQUIFAX of having my consent. On XX/XX/XXXX I decided to submit a CFPB complaint ( # XXXX ) requesting to have these items removed. I also reported the identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission because my information was in fact shared without my consent. I provided a copy of FTC report along with the complaint. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a confirmation by post mail from EQUIFAX stating that they had deleted the inquiries from my report. Over a year later! I am demanding that EQUIFAX be held accountable for the criminal acts they have committed. I am holding them accountable for being in violation of my consumer rights and defamation!! To simply mail me a letter stating these items were deleted does not excuse the fact that they caused damages for over a year! I am also demanding that these institutions be held accountable! They obtained copies of my consumer reports without having my direct consent prior.

Complaint:
I called the Credit reporting agencies after noticing that they were reporting a U.S. Bankruptcy Court item on my credit report and they never answered my question after I asked if they validated the information with the original creditor nor did they remove this unauthorized inaccurate information. I spoke with the U.S Bankruptcy Court and they stated that they do not provide information to credit reporting agencies which is stated on their website as well. Per the FCRA the information is not validate so they must remove the information from the consumer credit file. Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the U. S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW.

Complaint:
I was trying to refinance my home with a new lender, and during this process we found out that we needed to have the Covid relief HUD partial payment paid off before we can refinance.

I have contacted HUD, who stated that Midland never claim the partial payment and they have no record of such lien. I have tried resolving this issue for several weeks now and just keep getting the round around from Midland Mortgage. I have spoken to several reps and supervisors ( rep XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Loss Mitigation supervisor XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and all I get is lies. They claim that they submitted the claim in XXXX but HUD has no record. They claim that they don't know what happened and that the claim is " in limbo ''. REALLY!!

I am unable to refinance my home and have lost the rate with the new lender due to the incompetence and negligence of Midland Mortgage.
