Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: AZ
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
When my home mortgage loan began with Green Tree, I signed up for their bi-weekly automated payment program and they initiated the withdrawals from my bank account. One month later my loan was transitioned to Ditech and initially nothing had changed ( due dates remained the same and the automated bi-weekly program continued ). In XX/XX/XXXX, the due date on the monthly statements changed ( 1 day earlier ) and late fees started to accumulate despite the companies automated bi-weekly payment plan. In XX/XX/XXXX, Ditech discontinued their bi-weekly automatic payment plan, so I initiated bi-weekly payments to be paid by my bank without any gaps in payments. All of a sudden, my payments were being applied to bogus late fees that had been accruing without my knowledge. Upon a detailed review of my account payment history, it became evident that principal payments had been applied 3-5 months late. However, the more serious concern is that when I finally got the company to reverse the late fees, 2 payments that should have been applied to principal were instead applied to a future months payment. I have spent many months trying to get this situation corrected, but have been unsuccessful, as their customer service department / call center makes it nearly impossible to reach the same supervisor on subsequent calls. I truly believe that my issues originated with system updates and that if this has happened to me then this has likely happened to other Green Tree / Ditech customers that were utilizing the company 's automated bi-weekly payment program.

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 disputed the same collection account with all 3 bureaus several times. I have provided evidence that the information is incorrect. They continue to report a debt that is 6 years old as 2 years old. The debt has been sold several times from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. The amount of te debt haas changed 3 times it was {$580.00}, XXXX, and XXXX. The debt is not from a credit card company it is from XXXX. Therefore the amount should have remained the same being there is not any interest being charged. I have explained this to them and they continue to illegally report incorrect information. It seems no matter what debt collection agencies does the credit bureaus take their side right or wrong. They never take the side of the consumer. I refuse to allow them to report the same old debt for another 5 years. 
I have copies of my credit reports to verify that I am telling the truth. I also have a letter from the very first collection agency showing the original date of collection and collection amount. I submitted it to all of the credit bureaus and they totally ignored it when I disputed the debt XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 
I also contacted the debt collector XXXX XXXX XXXX asking for the validity of the debt from the original creditor XXXX and I have yet to hear or receive anything from them. 
I called in to speak to a customer service rep at XXXX and she disconnected the call very unprofessional.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Issue: Other transaction problem

Complaint:
On the dates of XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, the amounts of XXXX ( {$110.00} ), XXXX ( {$130.00} ), and XXXX ( XXXX ) were sent to the merchant via PayPal. 

The seller had requested additional payments after meeting the price we agreed on. ( The person had also insisted that I send the payment to them as friends & family. Presumably to omit my buyer protection rights. ) After the 3rd payment was made to them, I didnt hear from them for a few days - no updates as I requested, or as they agreed. 

Later on they contacted me again, requesting a 4th additional payment. I then realized that I was being scammed, and made to file this report. 

I have already informed PayPal, who also requested extending this issue to you, consumer protection. 

The seller had previously agreed to refund my money, and cancel the order/service. But are now refusing. I feel like the victim of a scam.. 

Please help me resolve this issue. Thanks.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I recently discovered a late payment entry on my credit report for my XXXX auto loan in the amount of {$1000.00}. The late payment occurred in XXXX XXXX and another FHB account balance still {$4500.00}, actually all of account been PAID OFF! I deeply regret this oversight and take full responsibility for the delayed payment. However, I would like to bring to your attention the fact that I had no prior knowledge of this late payment as I did not receive any communication from XXXX regarding the missed payment. 
Throughout my history with XXXX, I have maintained open lines of communication and promptly addressed any financial matters. However, in this instance, I did not receive any calls or correspondence from XXXX alerting me to the missed payment. It was only when I reviewed my credit report that I became aware of this late payment entry. 
As an XXXX XXXX XXXX member, my deployments often present challenges in managing my finances. However, I have consistently made it a priority to ensure that my payments are made on time. I find it unfortunate that I was not contacted by FHB regarding this late payment, as I would have taken immediate steps to rectify the situation had I been made aware of it. 
I kindly request your understanding and compassion in considering a goodwill adjustment to remove this late payment entry from my credit report. As a loyal customer of almost XXXX years, I have demonstrated responsible financial behavior and have consistently made timely payments on my accounts with XXXX. This isolated incident does not accurately reflect my commitment to meeting my financial obligations. 
I genuinely value the relationship I have built with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and believe in the exceptional service and support provided by your esteemed institution. I trust that you will take into account my loyalty, responsible financial behavior, and the lack of communication from XXXX in evaluating my request. 
Please feel free to contact me at your convenience to discuss this matter further or to request any additional information that XXXX be required. I can be reached at XXXX or via email at XXXX. I appreciate your time and attention to this matter and eagerly await your favorable response. 
Thank you for your understanding and consideration.
