Company: GREAT LAKES
State: NC
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I'm in the process of purchasing a home when I obtained my credit report. Great Lakes shows my High Credit as {$24000.00} but shows my balance as {$36000.00} ; a variance of $ +XXXX over the credit limit which has a significant negative impact on my score. I called Great Lakes in attempt to either have the balance lowered or High Credit increased but was quickly told by XXXX that there was nothing that can be done and that what they are doing is not illegal although its impacting my score by 60+ FICO points and will remain that way until the loan is paid in full, I have been on time and in this environment there should be some compromise to not penalize consumers who are doing the right thing. The interest is ridiculous and should be illegal. Please review and XXXX sit me to get some answer to my concerns and possible some reconsideration of this way this trade line is reporting

State: MO
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
My credit is perfect but yet my credit score keeps going down. I believe Experian is vindictive and harassing by driving down my credit score by not removing erroneous and fraudulent information and inquires. In addition, Experian has sent my file to their Special Handling services making it extremely difficult for me to expedite updates and disputes. All these things are further proof that when you complain to Experian, they will do things to drive down your FICO score via retaliation and vindictive acts. I believe class action civil action needs to be taken against Experian as a punitive measure to stop their material misrepresentation and vindictive acts.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: MA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
The below details a series of issues with Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing, stemming from an incorrect tax payment made by Shellpoint Mortgage on my behalf. A timeline of incidents as follows : XX/XX/XXXX The building we moved in to was completed and Certification of Occupancy was granted by the city of XXXX. 
XX/XX/XXXX - We closed on our condo in that building. 
XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX XXXX transferred our mortgage to Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing XX/XX/XXXX - Shellpoint Mortgage incorrectly paid the XXXX XXXX taxes for the original two parcels that our building stands upon for {$19000.00}. Because the building just received its certification of occupancy in XXXX of XXXX, each unit had not been assigned its own Parcel at that point. There at 34 units in the building. Shellpoint mortgage paid the taxes for all 34 units. 
XX/XX/XXXX - We became aware of the tax issue and informed Shellpoint by telephone. We were informed that a resolution ticket was opened with the Shellpoint Mortgage tax department. 
XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX - I've called roughly 50 different times to get an update on the status of resolution, but nothing has materialized. 
XX/XX/XXXX - We received notice that our monthly payment would be increased by {$2400.00} to pay down our incorrectly applied - $ XXXX escrow balance. We called Shellpoint immediately to inform them of the mistake. We were told that another escalated ticket was opened internally to handle the mistake. We stopped auto payment until the issue was resolved. 
XX/XX/XXXX ( cont. ) - We received notice that Shellpoint will be transferring our loan to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  effective XX/XX/XXXX. 

Our primary concern is that with the hand off to the new lender, this issue will not be resolved appropriately, especially if the new lender doesnt have the detailed history of this issue and our correspondence. Ive been assured dozens of times over the last year that this issue will be resolved, but it has not. In addition Ive spent dozens of hours on the phone trying to resolve mistakes made by Shellpoint Mortgage.
