Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint:
I have XXXX student loan accounts with XXXX. I did not realize that payments started on them because the notifications were going to a former email address and I began to accumulate late payments. When I pulled my credit report and saw the payments, I contacted XXXX and spoke to them about removing the late payments. I updated my email account and my loans are currently in forbearance. I asked them how soon would my credit report update the current statuses of my loans and they told me that since it 's updated on my loan accounts immediately that my credit reports should update as well. I took no chances so I printed XXXX copies of all XXXX accounts along with a credit dispute form and a letter requesting an immediate update of my accounts and certified mailed them to XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. Within 10 days XXXX app notified me that my accounts were updated on XXXX, and XXXX, but not Equifax. So I called the company and got connected to a very rude agent. He pulled my name and verified that all my documents were in their system. Again, Equifax has my proof that my XXXX student loans are no longer reflecting as late. The agent proceeded to tell me that they are waiting for XXXX to confirm that my accounts are no longer showing late balances. I called XXXX and they told me that they did their part and Equifax has the power RIGHT NOW to update my account. I feel like I am being victimized by this company because I did everything to rectify the situation and if XXXX and XXXX updated my credit reports with NO PROBLEMS, why ca n't Equifax do the same? I have the certified green card with the company stamp as proof that they received my updated information.

Complaint:
Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to the 3 Credit Bureaus was XX/XX/2022, but no response was ever received from them to date. Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, which statesthat continued reports of the unverified information without any proof provided, within thetime allowed by law, is not authorized. The account listed below is still reporting on myCredit Reports and needs to delete immediately : XXXX XXXX

My lawyer XXXX XXXX found that there was another lean on the property and immediately contacted Ditech for additional information. Ditech was less than cooperative to resolve the issue and did not resolve till closing date. Closing came and 1 hour into closing the sale of the property We were informed that we needed an additional XXXX for the sale of the property and if we did not pay it we may have a lawsuit or have to file bankruptcy. What had happened there was a non interest subordinate loan on the property from Hud and Ditech never disclosed it. This was set up by XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX from a modification. the loan was sold to Ditech and the modification was no longer disclosed by Ditech in any form. We would not have sold our house if we knew that loan was still outstanding. We ended up putting ourselves in deeper debt to close on the property. We were severely mislead by Ditech and there complete lack of service.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: TN
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I sold a property located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TN XXXX. The closing occurred on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 

A mortgage on the property was held by Carrington Mortgage Services , LLC . Their pay-off statement ( copy of which is attached ) indicated that the current total unpaid principal balance of the loan was {$57000.00} and interest payable of {$410.00}, with a total amount to pay the loan in full of XXXX ( XXXX + XXXX = XXXX ). That is the amount that was paid to Carrington Mortgage at closing ( See attached closing disclosure ). 

After closing it was discovered that the interest due to Carrington Mortgage at closing should have been about {$210.00} and not {$410.00}. So I had been overcharged by about {$200.00}. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I contacted Carrington Mortgage and spoke with a service representative, who said that a senior service representative would have to call me back to discuss the situation. As of XXXX XXXX, XXXX I had still not heard from Carrington Mortgage thus I called them back. I spoke with a service representative by the name of XXXX. I Discussed the interest situation with him and he agreed that I should have been charged {$210.00} and he could not figure out why they had charged me {$410.00} instead. He said that I needed to talk to a supervisor. He said that no supervisor was available at the time and transferred me to a supervisor 's voice mail. I left a very detailed message as to the reason for my call and left both my home and cell phone numbers where he could call me back. 

As of XXXX XXXX, XXXX I had still not heard from Carrington Mortgage. I called again and spoke to someone by the name of XXXX. She also seemed puzzled as to why I was being charged {$410.00} instead of {$210.00}, however, she said she could not help me and that I needed to talk to a supervisor. I left a voice mail message for a supervisor by the name of XXXX XXXX. I explained the situation and asked him to call me back. 

As of today ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) I have still not heard from anybody at Carrington Mortgage. I Think it is pretty clear from the above that these so-called supervisors at Carrington Mortgage are totally ignoring my very reasonable request for a review of the situation I am describing. I am relying on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to help with this matter and I appreciate any assistance you can give me.

Complaint:
One numerous attempts I have sought explanation from XXXX about an amount owed. They never told me how they arrived at the amount only that I owed it. I spoke with someone in the recovery dept who told me that there were charges to be found to qualify the amount due. Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX, I received a 1099c from XXXX cancelling my debt for the amount of {$1100.00} on XXXX XXXX. I submitted this document to XXXX  as well as Experian. When Experian reached out to XXXX / XXXX, they acknowledged the form but have continued to report this amount as a charge off and amount due. If they cancelled the debt in XXXX of XXXX, how is it that they can continue to report this as a charge off and report it to the bureau?!

Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint:
As a new college grad I found my first job after the economy was at an all time low which made the ideal high paying entry level job a false hope for most of us entering the job market. I struggled to pay my student loans but made the payments on time, utilizing the forbearance option when money was tight. While thinking I was on this program two consecutive months the payments were actually late which would change my life up to this very day. The student loan company Ed Financial broke my loan down to XXXX different loans which they reported to the all the credit bureaus as 22 late payments. My credit dropped instantly and although this was 4 years ago there 's no way to repair credit or creditors to trust you with such a negative payment history even if I made hundreds of on time payments going forward. They refuse to remove them even though it is a complete violation of fair credit reporting since it was two late payments not 22. This is effecting my life my future and my family.

Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint:
Sallie Mae, now XXXX, has irreparably damaged my credit and finances. After graduating from college and not being able to find a job for close to a year, they refused to work with me to refinance my loans, despite my various attempts to work out a payment plan with them. Once employed, I resumed my payments, but they were too high as I am only XXXX and an entry level employee. Again I contacted them only to be given the runaround, and when I finally spoke to someone of stature, they told me that the only way to refinance my loans was to default on them, which I did. Once I defaulted, I made another call to Sallie Mae and was able to get my payments down to {$560.00}. Fine. But upon recent inspection on my part, I found out that they 've been taking more than the agreed upon amount totaling to {$640.00}. I 'm now unemployed again, due to health reasons, and am virtually stuck. I have no other money in the bank and am pursuing options in which to sue for at the very least, breach of contract. Additionally, when I first restructured my loans, they proceeded to ding my credit score so that it 's decimated beyond repair because the payments that I was making were " late. '' There 's no way they could have been late because they were scheduled to be taken out of my account on the XXXX of each month as previously agreed upon. If their system is messed up, then why am I being punished for it? They 've also harassed my relatives, none of whose information I gave out when applying my loans, so they must have been mining data to figure out who to call. Every time that I 've tried to call them and straighten this out, I get the runaround and them telling me that my only option is to defer my payments, but to do so I have to pay an additional {$150.00}. What?!? The people they 've hired to run their " business '' are completely unprofessional, incompetent, and inept ; this organization should be run out of business for the plain thievery that they are allowed to inflict on American citizens.
