Company: LAKEVIEW LOAN SERVICING, LLC
State: UT
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Over the course of the past year XXXX and Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC has misappropriated over {$7000.00}  of my escrow funds. Out of my escrow account they have been paying county property taxes on three properties that I do not own and never have owned. Between XX/XX/2018 and XX/XX/2018 I contacted their customer service department 5 times ( including sending the attached certified letter with corroborating details received from the county ) letting them know what happened and asking for a resolution ( to refund the {$3700.00} ). In every instance they made promises to look into it that they promptly broke and/or they ignored my claims. 

Because of a death in my immediate family I was unable to pursue this further until on XX/XX/2018, I called customer service again, since they erroneously paid out yet another {$3800.00} from my escrow account. They again said they would look into it. Following up to the telephone call I sent them an email including a copy of the certified letter from XXXX with its tracking number. 

Two days after calling and emailing their customer service department with details ( on XX/XX/2018 ) they sent me a letter stating that they intended to sell my mortgage to XXXX XXXX.

State: GA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying

Complaint:
I have a credit card with Barclays - Wyndham rewards Visa card. I called them on XX/XX/XXXX to let them know I was going through a difficult financial situation. I asked them to lower my minimum monthly payment. On XX/XX/XXXX, they let me know my payment plan was approved under the name " XXXX XXXX XXXX, '' my new payment will be a {$190.00} minimum payment on the XXXX of every month. I made the first payment under this plan on XX/XX/XXXX. Since that date, I have been paying {$190.00} every XXXX of the month. However, they have been acting weird since then. At the beginning of XXXX, they called me and said I had to make the monthly payment, but I explained that I was in an XXXX payment plan. They told me my plan was canceled for lack of payment, although my payment was not due until almost the end of the month. They told me they would re-activate the payment plan again to start over. I didn't know why they did that, and it was a bizarre situation. Since XXXX, they have been reporting my account to the credit bureaus, so I have received emails saying my Barclays account has been impacted negatively. They have been calling since then repeatedly, almost every single day every month, to remind me about my payment. In the last XXXX months, I told them I already had a payment plan, but they said they didn't see it in their system, so after checking for a few minutes, they told me they found the info. Every time they call me, I answer the phone, but the call hangs up. I feel like this company is doing something wrong, and they are harassing me with their phone calls or hanging up every time I answer. I don't feel it is fair to keep paying a company that doesn't respect their terms, ignoring what was agreed, and harassing customers with phone calls for no reason. I ask you to investigate and help me with this situation since I am doing what is right, but they are acting abusively against me.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX [ Your Address ] [ City, State, Zip ] [ Email Address ] [ Phone Number ] XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Washington, D.C. XXXX Subject : Complaint and Dispute Regarding Late Payments and Unlawful and Unconstitutional Forms of Payment Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my concerns and dispute the late payment reports from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX. As per the details provided by these institutions, I have been reported for late payments on the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

These late payment reports have negatively affected my credit standing. However, I dispute these charges based on my understanding of the United States Code ( UCC ) 3-501, House Joint Resolution 192 ( HJR-192 ), and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ). 

HJR-192 and UCC 3-501 both address the issue of lawful money and the discharge of debt. Under HJR-192, the United States removed the gold standard, which had been the form of money constitutionally recognized. This action seems to have created a system where it's impossible to 'pay ' a debt, but one can only 'discharge ' a debt. I am being asked to pay debts with other debts, which appears to be an unlawful and unconstitutional practice. 

Furthermore, as per 15 USC 1681, I have the right to dispute the information in my credit report that I believe is inaccurate. I am exercising this right to challenge the late payment reports. 

Additionally, it seems that when taking a loan, this transaction is treated as an investment contract. As such, I request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to provide me with the 1099-OID form for these transactions. If the money I borrowed was created at the time of the loan being granted, then shouldn't I be seen as the issuer of this money? And if that is the case, how can I owe money when I am the issuer of it? 

I am seeking the CFPB 's help in providing clarity on this complex matter. I believe it's essential for all citizens to understand the nature of our monetary and financial system, including the constitutionality and legality of the forms of payment being used. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
