Company: First Technology Federal Credit Union
State: OR
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
I paid {$770.00} for an appraisal that FirstTech ordered. This appraisal allowed me to remove the private mortgage insurance from my current mortgage. To use the appraisal for a second lien on my current home, a different lender asked for a letter from FirstTech stating that FirstTech releases the interest from my appraisal. 

FirstTech refused to provide the appraisal transfer letter and gave no reason. They said they would not release the interest in the appraisal I paid for, therefore, they would not provide the letter for me. They tried to refer me to a FirstTech loan officer to talk about a second lien with FirstTech,  but they don't offer the financial product I'm looking for and their interest rates are not competitive for it. 

XXXX XXXX guidelines state that lenders can transfer appraisals. In addition, most lenders have a standard template to transfer the appraisal for customers. One of them is XXXX XXXX XXXX. Therefore, there's no reason they can not provide an appraisal release letter. 

If they were going to keep the interest in my appraisal, they should have paid for it and informed me upfront about it.

Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
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 submitted a dispute through XXXX requesting an update to my reporting, as the status showed Unknown. It was paid and closed in XX/XX/XXXX, and therefore should reflect as such. XXXX responded and updated my report, but did so inaccurately. They updated the status, payment amounts, balance dates, and the payment history inaccurately. It has caused great detriment and undue hardship to me, as Im seeking to finance a home. The updates included negative reporting, and even include the term negative on the payment history data from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXXwell after the loan was paid and closed! Ive called multiple times, submitted emails, provided documentation, and have discussed this matter with a representative at XXXX. They insist that no updates were made, that they will not update and correct the problem, and they wont honor the agreement they offered to me through their own rehabilitation loan program ( which I completed and have since paid off with XXXX ). I have asked many times for contact information to whom I should I send my requested updates and supporting documentation, but the representatives refuse. They insist that no one is there to do can correct the inaccuracies since my loan is paid and closed on their end. Further, they refuse to acknowledge that they even updated in response to my original dispute, and refuse to provide a clear way to submit my requests for further research and correction. The representatives keep insisting that the data on their system is 100 % accurate and they can not help because my loan has been paid, but they are refusing to understand that the data to the credit bureaus was entered differently than what their system shows. Its frustrating when they wont take the time to review the reporting, the actual updates they made, their own errors, or honor their own agreements. I wouldnt have entered into their rehabilitation program if the one benefit on credit reporting was not going to be honored, and theyd later report inaccurately to my severe detriment. The representations made in the agreement were not just verbalits included in the direct correspondence from them and even in their official forms and subsequent contractual agreement. Its a misleading practice and unethical, and I sincerely hope the multiple issues Ive relayed can be addressed and resolved.

Company: PLANET HOME LENDING, LLC
State: NC
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
I Contacted your agency before. then i called planet home lending again and they sent an email with new terms to stop foreclosure but they doubled the payment amount saying im having to pay lawyer fees etc. and that the payment would be doubled until XXXX and in the email paperwork it said that the actual fees for the attorney etc, could BE MORE. and that the status is still foreclosure until all of the money is paid. In other words, I might pay this money and they foreclose anyway on a whim, at least that is how I am reading it. 
Ever since I tried to make the payments on the property back inXX/XX/XXXXI have been given the 'we are foreclosing XXXX '. and they refused payment, even though I had a paper from them saying they would help, They even told me back then that since I 'm inheriting the property instead of being the actual owner of the loan, they were refusing payment from me and were foreclosing. 
Only after I said i would report them for predatory lending to a federal agency and sent them paper work from the county courts office showing I was also adminisitor and executor of the estate, did they accept any money. And after that, when I tried to make another payment, I got the same thing, over and over and over. 
I 'm not the only one this has happened to. 
I looked them up on the Better Business Bureau 's website, and NUMEROUS similar complaints have been lodged against them. Their rating on the site is a C+ I have also seen numerous complaints against them via reviews on XXXX XXXX. 
I believe my Civil Rights are being violated due to my age. and because I am a XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) Now this is happening with the contract they have sent. no concrete fee 's from their attorneys and they can still foreclose at any time? Seems to me like MORE PREDATORY LENDING. 
They even told me before sending me this contract, that I should send them {$1200.00} as a payment, even though they were going to foreclose on the property anyway. I 'm considering looking into contacting Civil Rights attorneys about this.
