Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX based out of XXXX, MO pulled my credit report without my authorization. My husband had been working with them on a pre-qualification. I was not involved in any of their previous discussions. 

I did not authorize them to pull my credit report. When I called on XX/XX/XXXX to inquire as to why they did pull my credit several people were conveniently " unavailable '' to talk with me. On XX/XX/XXXX a person named " XXXX '' from the " Production Management Team '' returned a call to discuss inquiry from XX/XX/XXXX. When I was able to speak with XXXX he informed me that my husband had filled out the online application and had given them permission to work toward a pre-qualification. When I contested his authority and my husband 's authority to grant permission to accessing my financial information his response was, " Your husband is allowed to grant us permission because you are legally married and he has that authority. '' Last time I check, this was not XX/XX/XXXX and I have my own rights independent of my husband and I am the only person who can grant anyone else access to my personal, identifiable information such as social security, HIPPA, etc. This includes access to my credit report. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX infringed upon my personal rights by accessing my financial information without MY express consent. The fact that I am married has no relevance in them not seeking my permission. I was not in contact with them during any point of my husband 's attempt to pre-qualify for a loan.

Sub-product: Personal line of credit
Issue: Getting a line of credit

Complaint:
I requested a loan, the company used my information to quote on a loan rate of 6.575 %. After applying for the quoted loan, and providing all the documentation requested to verify the quoted income ( bonus plus salary ) the company revised the offer up significantly to a rate of 8.74 %. After discussing multiple times with the company representatives my year end pay stubs the representives told me the company had a proprietary formula to disregard all company performance plans as income even though their instructions say providing two years of documented bonuses would constitute income. The representative stated multiple times that sofi choose not the accept the documentation provided by my small employer as they labeled it differently from one year to the next therefore I did not earn that income. It was clear in my conversations that the Company had no intention of honoring the original quote so they were choosing not to recognize the income to give a reason to change the offer. It appears to me this company is using bait and switch tactics to lure consumers with the promise of lower rates than they will actually offer.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: TX
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
Hello I am sending this complaint because we have had the worst experience with this company. Based on my research this company has a 1.4 review score online. Everyone is complaining about the same issue. Not being able to get the proper customer service when needed. There also seems to be a high turn over within the company. I spent up to 4 hours today trying to reach a representative to get help with my loan to only be transferred around through their automated system. Even the website is so vague you can barely get information. The email address is also blocked. The company that I am sending this complaint against is LoanCare Mortgage Company. I do not understand how this company has not been investigated yet and how a company that has so many complaints and a 1.4 review is still in business. We were in Forbearance from XX/XX/2020 to XX/XX/2020 and this company does not seem to have all of there documentation to show when our forbearance started and ended. We were told that our forbearance was from XXXX to XXXX but that is not accurate. So we are trying to resolve this by asking for the original forbearance agreement that we never received but we can not reach anyone in forbearance. This department does not seem to exist, instead you just get a never ending automated system. The Refinance Reps will tell you they will transfer you to a Forbearance Representative but you never get to speak to a human only an automated system that gets you no where.
