Company: Flagstar Bank, N.A.
State: KY
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2018 my wife became seriously ill and had to leave her job. We became unable to pay our mortgage and was able to talk with our original Lender, XXXX XXXX XXXX. I started loss mitigation, filled out all the paperwork and sent it in a timely manner. I didn't hear anything for over 30+ days, called XXXX and was told they were working on it. In the meantime, XXXX sold our mortgage to Flagstar Bank. When I found out I contacted Flagstar and was told that all the loss mitigation paperwork had been forwarded and they had received, " Everything PHH had. '' Several weeks later, XXXX XXXX I received a 2nd day letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2018 that stated I had until XXXX XXXX to submit paperwork. I called confused, asked to speak with my case manager ( I have NEVER once spoken with her, even after requesting several times with whatever rep I was speaking with ). I was told that the original loss mitigation paperwork was now considered " outdated '', and I would have to send in more paperwork. This was a single sheet of paper with nothing attached. I asked why I didn't receive anything along with it and what I was supposed to do I was told, " I guess I can mail you the paperwork, it wont be there for a week but its not going to make any difference now. '' I then spent two days calling and asking for help and finally reached someone who gave a XXXX, walked me through downloading and printing the actual paperwork I would need from THEIR website ( the CSR before never told me I could do that ) .She also told me I could email the info, which I did on XX/XX/18 the date it was due ( I have delivery confirmation ). I called and spoke with a great lady named XXXX who identified herself as the loss mitigation team lead. She opened my email, went through the documents WITH ME on the phone and confirmed that yes, indeed I had sent all that was required and it looked good. It was going to be sent to the Underwriters by her personally. Imagine my surprise, when I received a letter in the mail today XX/XX/18 saying that because I NEVER sent in the documentation, I was now officially out of the loss mitigation. This has been unbelievable. I have NEVER dealt with a company like this. Customer service has been a joke. It is obvious they do not want to work with me ( or probably anyone! ) on a situation that can and should be resolved and would rather foreclose using stalling, diversion and flat out lies. I need help, even lowering my payment would pull me out of this situation and allow me to keep my home. This situation has led me to consider legal action.

This is XXXX XXXX, who is submitting this CFPB complaint myself, and to inform you that there is no third party involved in the process. Regardless of the multiple written requests, the unverified accounts listed below are still reporting on my credit report in violation of federal law. The Experian, XXXX and XXXX Credit Bureaus failed to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time declared by law and continued reporting of unconfirmed information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes. Please update the account completely from my Credit Reports : XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance : {$4800.00}

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX to ; Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, U.S.Dept of the Treasury, Comptroller of the Currency, All credit reporting agencies, Capital One credit card re ; closing of account # -- -- -- -- -- XXXX, XXXX XXXX I am writing this letter, for a couple of reasons. Mostly to find out why, after over 20 years of having an account with Capital One, they decided to close my account. Not only close my account, but doing so without any apparent reason, and without warning or notice. That left me scrambling to make sure that all my creditors who were being paid by that card, didn't get a lapse in payment. 

A few weeks prior, my bank account was compromised, and that was also quite a mess. I had to scramble and notify every facet of my life that I had, to change my bank account info. Including Capital One. My payment fell into that day that everything was locked, and my bank turned that payment away. I called as soon as I saw that issue and discussed it with them. After a few days, and the billing cleared up, I payed that, and the next amount due. 

I understand that the banking industry has an incredibly strong lobby presence, and the ruling in XXXX 0r XXXX, gave the right for the bank to close any account they want to, without warning, for any reason, any time they want, and not contact the account holder for 10 days to 2 weeks. So that may be legal, but certainly not fair or ethical. 

About 10 years ago, I had a business that went under because I couldn't keep it running due to illness. I had a huge debt that I incurred, not only to suppliers, but to credit card companies. By all rights, I should have done a bankrupcy, but I did not, because of my ethical beliefs. I kept the Caital One card through it all and have restored my credit to good levels. 

I tried to talk to someone at Caital One when we found that the account was closed, but no one would give me a chance to talk with someone, who could explain what the problem was. They said that I would be contacted by mail in 2 weeks. I was told that the office resposible for the closing of the account, didn't have a phone that is accessible to the public. That's about 2 weeks ago, and I still have not heard anything. 

The closing of this account also lowered my credit rating by about 25 points. That is something I guess I have to live with. 
Of course I'm going to pay my last bill at Capital One, even though I've lost cash back from the closing of the account, because that's what I believe is right. 

thank you, XXXX XXXX

Company: CALCON MUTUAL MORTGAGE LLC DBA ONETRUST HOME LOANS
State: NC
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
Contracted with XXXX XXXX in XXXX, NC regarding the construction of a new home. After speaking with the XXXX sales rep, decided to move forward with their preferred lender due to the incentives. Scheduled an appointment to talk with the lender, XXXX XXXX, with XXXX XXXX on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX. At that time I explained to him that I was looking to apply for a USDA loan and to pay off an installment loan with NC State Employees XXXX XXXX XXXX to improve my XXXX. He said he understood this and would get back to me in XXXX weeks since underwriting was behind. On Monday, XX/XX/XXXX, I learned from my realtor calling me that XXXX XXXX 's manager, XXXX XXXX, completed my file on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX since XXXX was out of office and denied my application. Mr. XXXX called XXXX to inform them I did not qualify, but did not contact me. I learned on Monday from talking with XXXX at XXXX that my application for a FHA loan was denied due to Debt To Income and that they would be putting the home I contracted back on the market. This was in contradiction to what Mr. XXXX and I discussed regarding me paying off my loan and requesting a USDA loan. After calling multiple times, I finally got in touch with Mr. XXXX who informed me that my debt to income was high based on the information my HR submitted on the Verification of Employment. I emailed my HR on Monday afternoon and received a response Tuesday morning that they did not indicate on the VOE the things Mr. XXXX claimed and verified my income and other earnings on an email I CC 'd Mr. XXXX on. Due to OneTrust Homes not verifying the information on my VOE wth my HR and doing their due diligence, I have been unduly denied credit that I believe I would otherwise qualify for which caused me actual damages in losing my home. I have tried several times to rectify this issue with Mr. XXXX, including calling their corporate office. I finally reached him on Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX in the evening and he said he would re-evaluate my application and get back to me in 3 hours. Two hours later, he texted me saying that he would contact me by noon on Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX. It is now XXXX XXXX and I have not received any communication from him or his office. I believe I am purposefully being lead around as to allow time for XXXX to sell the home that I contracted to someone else since it has been made clear several times that OneTrust and XXXX are in communication and yet no one is communicating with me. Again, if the manager had any questions about my XXXX, he should have spoken with my HR instead of assuming and denying me credit based on what he believed and not what was verified. Thank you for your time.

Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
Some how a double payment was processed on XX/XX/23 and XX/XX/23 both in the amount of {$290.00}. When I seen this I contacted the Credit Card Aspire handled through the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Told I would receive that over payment after investigation and days for a check to be mailed, asked for a credit back to the account it was paid from, they said no, but would expedite because of the temporary financial distress it has put me in. After giving it the time to receive the check, I used the card to pay utility bills, since the account was still showing a credit of {$290.00}. They have now charged my for those transactions, XXXX and still haven't to this day received a check or credit for the over payment. I keep getting misinformation about what is going on and what they are doing, last spoke to a supervisor XXXX, ID # XXXX, today, XX/XX/23, told to wait another 30 days to call again if nothing is received, nothing they can do. How many other customers have had this issue before and handled the same, I would think many.

Complaint:
On XXXX I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown information on my credit report. As of this writing over 60 have passed and I have not received a response. I believe that Im being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. Section 611 ( a ) plainly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives reason to immediately remove the item from my credit report. It has been over 60 days therefore they should be deleted immediately. I demand these account be deleted immediately or I will pursue litigation due to the financial harm this has caused me. My information also was impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have fallen into the hands of some bad actors.
