Company: AMERICAN PACIFIC MORTGAGE
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I entered into a sales contract to purchase a home in XXXX, CA with my VA entitlement. The sales price was {$390000.00}. During the process, I was told that the seller had some liens and in order for him to pay them, we had to lower the sales price to {$350000.00} and then the seller would carry a second mortgage in the amount of {$40000.00}. I am a first-time homebuyer and didn't understand what was going on and put complete trust in my realtor and mortgage lender. I followed their direction. The transaction closed in XX/XX/XXXX and that is when I realized that I also had to make payment on the XXXX mortgage. The combination of both mortgages was more than I could afford. 
I subsequently contacted a HUD approved housing agency. They are helping me with this complain process. My XXXX is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX HUD # XXXX ) and he is writing this complain for me. 
It appears that the mortgage lender ( American Pacific Mortgage ) was unaware of the XXXX mortgage as it was not recorded until later. I believe that the real estate agent ( XXXX XXXX - XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX ) and the loan XXXX ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ) knew that XXXX didn't qualify for the VA loan based upon the purchase price of {$350000.00}. By creating the second, XXXX now did qualify for the VA loan based upon a purchase price of {$350000.00}. The underwriter was not made aware of the XXXX mortgage payment. XXXX and XXXX are husband and wife.

Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
About XX/XX/XXXX I called Regions Mortgage to make a XXXX payment directly to the principal of my mortgage. Over 3 times on the phone conversation I stated I wanted the payment to go only to the principal amount. After the representative completed the transaction again I stated so XXXX dollars going only to principal. The call was being recorded according to the representative. I waited until I saw the funds clear from my bank before I called back. The reason for the payment was to bring my total mortgage under 78 % of the original balance of the loan so that the PMI could be removed. I called on XX/XX/XXXX and asked my balance which did not reflect how much it should have if XXXX dollars went straight to principal. The representative informed me that the XXXX payment went to my XXXX bill of XXXX dollars and the remainder went to principal. I explained to the rep that the total amount should have went to principal. The rep informed me she would send someone a request to back it out and then apply it to principal. Instead of waiting on that I told the rep that the {$2400.00} I usually pay for my monthly mortgage payment I wanted to pay that amount to principal. Again on recorded line I was assured that the amount would go only to principal and not towards any monthly mortgage bill. Again I waited for the amount to clear my bank account before calling. Again I asked my balance and was told around XXXX something ( can't remember the amount ) which was still not under the 78 % of the initial loan amount so I knew something was incorrect. I was informed by the rep that the {$2400.00} was applied to my XXXX bill. Keep in mind I made the payment on XX/XX/XXXX, which is not even close to my due date for my XXXX bill. This time the rep told me he would back it out and put it to principal. I asked what my balance was and was informed that I had to give the system time to update. I do not think the errors were with the reps, I think it is with Regions payment system. If I would have never called back I would have not known for a month that the payments were applied incorrectly. Interest on the balance of a mortgage is not calculated at the end of the month, it it calculated daily. That is interest that I am paying, that I should not have had to pay because my balance should have been lower than what it was. I feel that this practice is deliberate and unethical.

From XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, I was at XXXX  school for my XXXX Around that time, my aunt who I was a caretaker died from cancer due to covid, and my grandma who I was also taking care of was in and out of nursing home... during this time I was sure I had set up an online auto payment for my BOA account but BOA account fell behind and I was marked late. 

in XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke to BOA collections dept. and they told me that given my situation, since Im a XXXX XXXX and had a death in the family, they would remove late and late fees, within 30 days. They said they are allowed to do this and have done this for many of their clients. 

Weeks later I saw no changes to my credit report. And when I called back BOAs phone reps now gave me unsolicited legal advice and told me that I should dispute the account under the FCRA with the credit bureaus. 

All the while no less than 6 people at BOA told me the late was already removed but it was not.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a check from a job that I had applied for. I applied for a job with a healthcare company and the check came from a healthcare provider so I assumed it was a legitimate job. I went through the interview process and was told I had been hired but I needed to go through training. I was told that I needed to purchase the equipment to be able to do the job and since the company was out of the country I would need to buy the equipment myself. When I received the check my manager wanted me to deposit the check into my account but wait until it cleared before spending any of the funds. I thought that once the check cleared it was fine because what bank would clear a bad check? I waited until it cleared and notified the hiring manager. She proceeded to tell me to send the money via XXXX to 2 different accounts. I was told that I was sending money to Vendors who had the equipment and they were going to come install it at my house. I was told to send {$2000.00} to one person and {$1500.00} to another but the transfers were broken up into separate amounts. She also wanted me to send money via XXXX XXXX but XXXX XXXX refunded it back to me. Her last request was for a {$500.00} gift card. She asked me to take a picture of the card and send it to her. She wanted me to buy the gift card so that I could use it to get a landline installed at my house. I was told to go to XXXX XXXX and purchase a printer and headset for the job as well. 
The hiring manager sent me a {$4500.00} check asked for nearly all the funds back and once the check bounced I was left with an account that was {$4500.00} in the negative. Bank of America cleared the check but they are refusing to take responsibility for it. I also quoted Federal Regulation E, from the EFT Act that the Bank must reimburse you even if you sent the money yourself and someone induced you to send them money. When I called the Bank, I was told that this is a common scam but they are unwilling to do anything about it. 
The bank cleared the check so I thought this was a legitimate job opportunity. There was no protection for me from the bank, they should have stopped the transactions immediately.

Complaint:
I recently came across multiple unauthorized and erroneous items on my credit report. These items have had a severe negative impact on my credit score and have caused significant financial harm. Specifically, my credit report contains several fraudulent credit accounts that I did not open, as well as charges and loans that I never initiated or received. The cumulative value of these fraudulent items is substantial and has seriously affected my credit score. Kindly review the details below : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, TX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Unpaid Balance {$0.00} 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 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 XXXXXX/XX/XXXX. I have taken proactive measures to dispute these fraudulent items with both the credit reporting agencies and the concerned creditors. Regrettably, despite providing supporting documentation and evidence of the fraudulent activities, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These items persist on my credit report, causing ongoing damage. I strongly believe that these fraudulent items are a result of identity theft, which deeply worries me in terms of its potential impact on my financial well-being. Enclosed are copies of the dispute letters I have sent to the credit bureaus, along with documentation substantiating the fraudulent nature of the contested items. Despite this compelling evidence, the credit bureaus have failed to conduct a proper investigation into my dispute and continue to report the fraudulent items on my credit report.
