Consumer complaint received 2023-08-28
Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: CO
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage
Sub-issue: An existing modification, forbearance plan, short sale, or other loss mitigation relief

Complaint:
PHH just sent me back a cashier 's check that they told me was applied as the last payment of my modification in XXXX. 

PHH approved a modification in XX/XX/2023. I paid, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX and submitted all documentation. For the XXXX payment they would only take a cashier 's check sent overnight. I complied. I called them on XX/XX/XXXX to see if they had received my check. They said they had and it had been applied to my modification plan. I spoke to PHH again on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX. Both times they told me the XXXX payment had been received and applied to my modification agreement. 

This was a lie. On XX/XX/XXXX I receive a legal copy of my cashier 's check back in the mail to me. It has not been applied. Now I am trying to get the cashier 's check back in my account so I can try to make another payment to PHH. 

PHH wrote me today to tell me that the Family Transfer part of the modification is approved but the XXXX payment was not received. This is fraud. They had my cashier 's check for 2 weeks and lied to me saying it had been applied. They then turn around and send it back to me so they can earn more fees/etc and fraudulently deny the modification plan. How many lawsuits and fines and government intervention does it take to get this company to follow the law?

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC
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 have an account on my credit reports that has incorrect information. I've disputed it with the company and with both credit reports it is reporting on. 
The account has been on my credit report for years. It's even past the statute of limitations. I didn't care since I already took care of it years ago. The company sold it to a 3rd party collection company and correctly changed the balance and past due amounts to {$0.00} and noted that they had sold it to a 3rd party collection company. 

Now all of a sudden, at the beginning of this year, the company just out of the blue changed the information on my credit reports. They now claim that it's a charged off account and that I owe them thousands of dollars. In fact, on Transunion they claim it is open and on XXXX they claim it is sold. Just another couple of errors they refuse to correct. 

This complaint is against Transunion and XXXX as well. I have disputed directly with XXXX and they have not bothered to ever respond to my direct disputes nor to credit reporting disputes and neither Transunion nor XXXX abide by the FCRA and correct the errors. 

The FCRA says they must correct the errors or delete the information. They have done neither. They are in clear violation of federal law and they are damaging me immensely. I qualified to purchase a house and then these knuckleheads changed the information on my reports and killed my loan qualification.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
I disputed to Experian that a collection account just popped up in their report and after waiting a month they did nothing but tell me they confirmed the information and will not remove it. At the same time I disputed with the collection agency and they provided me with paperwork which clearly states another entity and dates which do not belong to me. 
Experian never did a dispute, they claimed they did, yet I have the proof they didnt. The reason is that they make money having negative information on people so they can sell their service on fear.

Issue: Lost or stolen money order

Complaint:
A certified check was mailed out to me for payout of an alimony settlement. It was unfortunately sent to an old address. I was unaware of this check being mailed until many months later when it was brought up in court. I then reached out to Bank of America to start a stop payment on the certified check. The banker at the location of XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, DE assisted me in an investigation and gave me a claim number as he told me a Stop Payment couldn't be issued as the Certified Check was deposited already. This was in XXXX and I can't remember the gentleman 's name, but he was a XXXX  man. The following day I called the bank with the investigation claim number and they said they can no longer assist me and they won't be looking into the matter anymore unfortunately. I was then hung up on and have had XXXX help trying to track down my certified check from Bank of America. The check was dated for XX/XX/XXXX. it was check number XXXX and it was a sum of {$240000.00}. I'm at a loss for how to recover the funds if the bank won't assist me in the investigation. Thank you for your help and attention to this matter.

Company: FIRST HORIZON BANK
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process
Sub-issue: Escrow, taxes, or insurance

Complaint:
The subject property of my mortgage was affected by XXXX XXXX last year. As a result of my having to hire lawyers to fight my flood insurance carrier to make them pay what was due to me, they cancelled my policy. I filed a complaint with the State of FL, and by the time they got around to working with the claim ( and finding they were not doing anything to fix it ), I had no choice but to apply for a new policy. The new company 's policy is to start new insurance a month after the lapse of the old, so there is a gap in my flood coverage. However, we are now past that gap, with no claims activity or issues, so I have flood insurance in place meeting the mortgage company 's requirements. Flood insurance did not pay me more than the premiums I paid for it after this Category XXXX hurricane and XXXX XXXX storm surge, which probably won't happen again in my lifetime, so requiring flood insurance is abusive by my mortgage company in the first place, but now, since there was a gap that affects them not one bit since we're past the date that would have been a problem, they're trying to extort an abusive amount of money from me to cover the month that has already passed!
