Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: MD
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
LoanCare is the servicer on my mortgage. I have an escrow and they are responsible for paying my homeowners insurance. LoanCare inexplicably short-payed my premium even though I sent them the paperwork showing the proper amount. I filled out an online form complaining about the issue and requesting LoanCare to make the full payment. LoanCare did not timely respond. I then called to complain and make sure the premium gets timely paid to avoid cancellation. The representative I spoke to said it would be paid right away and not to worry about it. The payment was not timely made. So I had to call my insurance and make the payment myself, but the policy was still cancelled. I'm currently waiting over the weekend with no Homeowners ' Insurance waiting for my policy to be re-instated because my loan servicer forced me to have an escrow account but is not responsible enough to pay my homeowners ' insurance premium.

I have a paid XXXX XXXX reporting on my credit file that should have never become a XXXX, as it was paid prior to being placed in XXXX status. I have disputed this reporting with the other two credit reporting agencies and after investigating, they ( XXXX and XXXX ) both removed the inaccurate information. I sent a total of for letters to Equifax, certified with return receipts requesting this inaccurate " paid XXXX XXXX '' be removed from my credit file. After the first two letters, they responded stating the information was correctly reporting. On the third and fourth letter, they stated XXXX confirmed the XXXX XXXX was in fact reporting correctly. In my letters, I clearly referenced section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Specifically, their obligation to physically verify through through signed documents from the original creditor that validity of this XXXX ; not another reporting agency like XXXX. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. After almost four months and four letters later, they are still in violation of the FCRA.
