Complaint:
CC : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) CC : South Carolina Attorney General ( Complaint Filed ) CC : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX : Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) CC : XXXX, Equifax, XXXX Dear XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX ), I am writing to dispute the charge-off that appears on my credit report for account XXXX. I believe that this charge-off was the result of multiple violations of federal law, including the Uninformed Decision Law ( 15 U.S. Code 1601 ( a ), the Lack of Evidence of Indebtedness Law ( 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( g ) ( 2 ), and the Adequate Notice Law ( 1643 of 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( k ). Therefore, I am requesting that it be removed from my credit report. 

Firstly, I was not properly informed of my rights and responsibilities under the Uninformed Decision Law. This law requires that creditors provide consumers with certain information, including the cost of credit and the consequences of non-payment, before they can legally charge off an account. I believe that I did not receive adequate information regarding my rights and responsibilities, and as a result, I made an uninformed decision. Such notice may be given to a cardholder by printing the notice on any credit card or honest on each periodic statement of account issued to the cardholder or by any other means reasonably assuring the receipt thereof by the card holder. 

Secondly, I have not received any documentation from the creditor showing that I owe the debt in question, which is a violation of the Lack of Evidence of Indebtedness Law. I am therefore unable to verify the accuracy of the charge-off. The only evidence of this debt was the agreement but the agreement, but that agreement was null and void because I made an uninformed decision, I did not understand this agreement and it was not clear and conspicuous. 

Lastly, I do not believe that I received adequate notice from the creditor regarding the status of the account, which is a violation of the Adequate Notice Law. I did not receive any communication or notification from the creditor regarding the impending charge-off, and I was not given an opportunity to rectify the situation before the charge-off occurred. 
Given these violations of federal law, I request that you investigate this charge-off and provide me with a detailed explanation of why it was reported. If it was indeed the result of violations of federal law, I ask that you remove it from my credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving this issue as soon as possible. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Fee problem

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023, bank charged me a statement fee. On the previous statements no such fees were charged, and no communication was sent to me that such a fee will be charged on the next month statement. 

They have some sort of a policy that if I am enrolled into their smart rewards, I will not be charged a statement fee. I have been enrolled in this program since XXXX but was not charged a fee until I received the latest statement from XXXX which showed the fee in one of the transactions.

Also, the fees are shown as one of the transactions under withdrawal. I think they should have shown me the fees charged Year to Date separately so that it is quite visible and clear.

Contacting them is super difficult. One can only contact them via phone and no email. On phone the customer service agent when asked to file a complaint, seemed to justify fees rather than instruct me with directions on what happens when such a complaint is filed.

They did not even honor correcting their mistake or crediting me the fee amount.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Can you please include Shellpoint MortgageXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in this XXXX XXXX XXXX I reached out to XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX regarding an insurance escrow issue. I did as the bank ask and continued making my prior payment before XXXX dropped my agent without my consent and wrote a new policy with their preferred underwriter who increased the policy by 65 %. It was then sent directly to escrow without my knowledge. Insurance is not escrowed in the loan documents. After two months of paying what I was ask to pay XXXX XXXX XXXX contacted XXXX and XXXX to report the late payments. I was less than {$600.00} in arears and had done as they ask. I contacted an attorney to see what I could do. He asks me to request copies of the Loan Documents and proof of Jurisdiction over the loan and have them submitted to his office. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX did not respond. The Attorney reached out and was informed they had passed the loan to Shellpoint weeks before ( 2 weeks after they were informed, I had an attorney ). In XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX ( long after the loan was passed to Shellpoint ) offered to make a settlement with me. My attorney at that time had stepped back. He was not licensed to argue a case in Federal Court. 
I did not retain my current attorney. I had received a foreclosure assistance notice in the mail literally 10 days before the foreclosure would become final. The attorney I hired always included an additional attorney on correspondence leaving me to believe they were partners. He assigned himself as attorney of record without my knowledge. When the attorney became intimidating and harassing, I investigated the two and they were never partners. I ask the attorney several times to dismiss from the case and he refused. I had to reach out to the Texas bar for assistance. I am including this information so that you will understand why this attorney is under review by the Texas Bar for his relationship with Shellpoint. 
Shellpoint has never provided one bit of information regarding there association to this loan. I reached out to them 6 weeks ago and they responded with a refusal to comply and a threat that I never reach out to them again. 

Shellpoint has so many complaints and lawsuits filed against them. I must wonder why they are even allowed to be in business. Except, of course they are the only mortgage company that will take on these illegal loans and attempt to bully people into doing as they demand.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Account number XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX  All 3 collection services have incorrect information which I keep trying to dispute and it clearly isnt working The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., governs access to consumer credit report records and promotes accuracy, fairness, and the privacy of personal information assembled by Credit Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ). A CRA is an entity that assembles and sells credit information and financial information about individuals.

See 15 U.S.C. 1681u ( a ), ( b ). The Act eliminated the requirement of a nexus to a foreign power or its agents and instead requires that the information sought be relevant for various national security investigations to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities. 

See 1681u. The Act also broadened other federal agencies access to consumer reports. Section 1681v obligates CRAs to provide consumer information and reports to a federal agency authorized to conduct investigations of, or intelligence or counterintelligence activities or analysis related to, international terrorism. Senior federal agency officials are empowered to issue a certification that the information is necessary for the agencys conduct or such investigation, activity, or analysis. See 1681v ( a ) & ( b ). Upon certification that disclosure to the subject would impair national security or interfere with an investigation, the entity providing the information is not permitted to disclose to the subject or others ( except counsel and those necessary to comply with the request ) that the government agency sought the credit report. See 1681v ( c ). State and local law enforcement within fusion centers often work in conjunction with the FBI or other federal officials to seek consumer reports pursuant to either 1681u or 1681v authority. If 1681u or 1681v is not utilized or applicable, consumer credit information may be obtained by seeking a court order or subpoena as authorized at 1681b.
