Consumer complaint received 2022-06-07
Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint:
My home should've been foreclosed on prior to the COVID Pandemic, but it wasn't. COVID regulations helped delay the process. I wasn't able to make payments for a considerable amount of time due to unemployment and other reasons. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, my home burned down ( complete loss ). I informed the mortgage company and filed an insurance claim. The only insurance coverage was for the mortgage. The insurance company determined the amount of the payout and issued a check for approx $ XXXX. The full amount was made available to the mortgage company to be applied towards the principal. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, we put the property up for sale and a buyer quickly made an offer of $ XXXX. Shortly thereafter, the mortgage company filed a foreclosure lawsuit against us fully knowing that we had both a buyer and insurance money available to settle any outstanding debts with them. 

At this point, the mortgage company stated that since we were in foreclosure, they could not apply the insurance payout funds against the principal. They started requesting various documentation so that the foreclosure would change from " active '' status to " hold '' and then the insurance payout monies could be applied. All of the mortgage company delays have lined their pockets with additional interest off of the loan and whatever interest they're making off the insurance payment monies that haven't been applied, After filing all requested documentation, my foreclosure lawyer was in contact with the mortgage company 's foreclosure firm and they had agreed in principle to let the insurance payout funds to be applied under certain stipulations ( the paperwork that was already filed with the mortgage company ). 

Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ), the mortgage company is now saying that we are in a short sale status because the buyer 's offer is less than the amount owed and we have to follow the short sale protocols which can take up to 120 days. They are scheduling an appraiser and working with the underwriter to determine the value. We may lose the buyer over all these delays. 

The mortgage company still has NOT applied the insurance payout funds. $ XXXX ( offer ) + $ XXXX ( insurance payout ) is > than amount owed ( $ XXXX ). This appears to be unethical and perhaps illegal to withhold insurance payout money like that.

Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
I am writing to dispute the following information in my file. There's an unauthorized credit inquiry made by XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2022. To my knowledge, I have not signed any documents authorizing the company in question to view my credit report. The listed inquiry was without authorization, and for no legitimate business purpose. As such, it is a very serious error in reporting. I never authorized such action and this constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, section 604 as well as a violation of my rights to privacy. I am requesting your credit bureau to initiate an investigation, please and to determine responsible parties in this unauthorized credit inquiry. As part of your investigation, please send names, business addresses, and phone numbers of those who made unauthorized credit inquiries so I may contact them directly. In addition, I respectfully request a copy of any documents authorizing credit inquiry, and signed on my behalf, so that I may verify this validity.

If you find that I was not one who authorized this inquiry, I ask that it be removed IMMEDIATELY from my credit file. Please be so kind as to forward me documentation that you have had the unauthorized inquiry removed. If you find that I am in error, them please send me proof of this. Your immediate attention to this matter is appreciated!
