Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
I applied for a refinance loan and my rate was locked in at XXXX. Quicken loans let my payoff for my California first loan expire and did not realize this until my loan was sent for closing. At this point it was XX/XX/XXXX and my California first payoff had expired on XX/XX/XXXX. This now meant that all my numbers had to be recalculated as well as I had to order a new payoff from California first. I then had to make a XX/XX/XXXX payment on my existing mortgage loan, which was now late because we did not close on the date that I was told. ( XX/XX/XXXX ) At this time I was advised that my interest rate was going to expire and I was given a 15 day extension. ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I was then called on XX/XX/XXXX and told that my interest rate was expired again and at this time the interest rate had gone up. I could no longer receive my promised interest rate of XXXX unless I brought more money to close. I was now forced into a rate of XXXX because of being unable to bring extra cash to closing. Quicken loans has dropped the ball on my loan numerous times over the past two months. I have provided them with every document that they have requested, promptly and have kept in contact with many different individuals though this horrible process. It seems as if every time a mistake has been made on my loan, I am than passed off to a new person for contact. I have tried reaching out to the company in regards to all of the unfortunate events but no good has come from any of my calls or emails. I started my loan process around XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: Gurstel Law Firm, P.C.
State: MN
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I originally received a warning which stated Gurstel Law Firm was going to be garnishing my wages on XX/XX/XXXX. I promptly reached out to them to confirm the debt was mine as I did not recognize the debt. I was attempting to purchase a home at the time so I was very aware of my credit score and any debt owed. While calling I was transferred to the attorney, XXXX XXXX. Through confirming my SSN and date of birth we had come to the conclusion that it was not my debt owed and it was my father 's debt. My father and I, unfortunately, have the same name with the exception of XXXX and XXXX. I was told by XXXX that he would make note of it and all was cleared and notice was sent to not garnish wages. 

XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX stating that Gurstel Law Firm would be garnishing my wages once again, for the same debt with the same file number. Clearly, XXXX did not make a note in the file. I immediately reached out to XXXX to resolve the issue. He was not available. XX/XX/XXXX I was able to get in contact with XXXX again and he was not as pleasant. Through once again confirming my SSN and date of birth we found it was not my debt, once again. This time I asked what he was going to do to ensure I did not keep facing penalties of my father 's debt, to which he was unable to offer any definitive answer. I then informed him of how this is considered fraud, and in direct violation of the FDCPA to which he responded " I don't need to take legal advice from you. '' While, no, I am not licensed to practice law. I clearly have a better understanding of it than some of the attornies at the aforementioned collection agency.

Complaint:
I happen to apply for credit last week- the week of XX/XX/2022. Instead of getting the instant answer I expected I instead got a denial letter with the reason being that I had no Credit Score? This was surprising because I have a credit score and have bank accounts as well as credit cards that have low balances. 

Later that same week I tried to open a Checking account with Bank of America here where I live in XXXXXXXX XXXX  I have had a checking account at my old bank in XXXX XXXX for over 15 years where my Social Security Direct Deposit goes along with a pension check. When I went to open the checking account in XXXXXXXX XXXX with Bank of America that asked for my ID info. I also showed the staff my Checks from the XXXX account and a Credit card along with my Drivers License from XXXX XXXX. After a couple of minutes the young lady at the bank suddenly Gasoed out loud and told me I came up as Deceased?? I told her that I was clearly not since I was sitting in front of her with numerous pieces of ID. She indicated that she could not open the account at this time but would take my phone number and call me. Neither she nor anyone at Bank of America called me. After having this happen I investigated further by obtaining my Free Credit reports from all three major credit reporting agencies. I was able to get XXXX XXXX XXXX but ran into a proble with XXXX. I did not get the free credit report but was directed to contact them ASAP. I did not call. This error of having me listed as Deceased cause me to not be able to get credit where I wanted too and also prevented me from even opening a checking account. I did suffer real ha from this error.
