Company: CountryPlace Acceptance Corporation
State: AR
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
Country Place Mortgage has failed for the second year in a row to make timely payments from escrow for my hazard insurance, resulting in cancellation of the policy. We have been trying to rectify the situation for four days now, but leave messages with no return call, or when they do answer, feel as if we are getting the run-around. I was finally able to talk to a supervisor. She blamed it on the fact that the company switched insurance trackers in XXXX. When I asked if they swapped companies last year because it happened then, too, the system was down so she could n't check. I refused to hang up and said I would hold. She finally got back to me, though the system was still down, with the reason being the insurance company only billed for the minimum amount due. ( ..last year they never received the bill. ) They are n't able to make partial payments and must pay the full amount. They cancelled the minimum payment, and, since the bill was only for the minimum amount and they did n't know the total amount due, no payment was made. She could n't explain why we were n't contacted, just that it is n't the customer 's problem to have to deal with. I asked what would happen if disaster struck. She answered they had a blanket policy, but could n't assure me that my interests were protected with that policy or just her company 's. When I asked about last year 's issue, the excuse was that they did n't receive a bill. Before I got off the phone, she assured me a credit card payment was made on my behalf, but could n't give me a confirmation number, rather they would email me with the information. I have n't received that yet. I have done a little research and it seems that there are rules in place to make sure that timely payments are made. I interpret that to mean " on-time. '' I inquired about what I could do to be responsible for the payment myself, but she informed me that, per my loan, that is n't allowed. What can I do to make sure this does n't continue to happen? To make sure that my property is protected in these types of instances?

The confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy and the proper utilization of my consumer report is not meeting my needs as a consumer.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
I was in prison from XXXX until XXXX. During that period someone used my personal information to open many accounts. All but one account ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) has been removed from my report. The supporting documents clearly show that I was in prison. A XXXX search would also verify that I was in prison. I have disputed this item no less than 6 times and have shown Equifax that XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) is acting in bad faith. XXXX has even tried to extort me, stating that if I gave them {$3000.00} they would take the entry off my credit report. I shared this information with Equifax and XXXX. Both reporting agencies say there is nothing that they can do, that XXXX is basically in charge here and they won't take it off unless XXXX approves. A law is being broken here. Neither XXXX or the reporting agencies will provide me with the proof that I personally rented this apartment. They are relying on information used by an identity thief who had all of my ID. I would like the XXXX entry removed from my report and would specifically ask that both reporting agencies be reminded that they have a responsibility to both consumers as well as those that pay them.

Sub-product: Credit card
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received a phone call from XXXX XXXX OF the Frontline Collection Agency, stating that a previously held joint credit card from the time of my marriage was still in existence. XXXX XXXX insisted the outstanding balance was my responsibility as my name was on the acAcount during my marriage. He requested that I put the outstanding balance on a credit the day of the call. XXXX XXXX incorrectly reported the outstanding amount due as being {$7000.00}. 

I informed XXXX XXXX that this was not my debt and that I had no obligation to pay the debt. I requested the information be sent to me in writing, which XXXX XXXX did. The email I received further added that the debt must be paid by XXXX XXXX, XXXX, which had not previously been mentioned and legal action was threatened. 

I have no reason to believe there is any joint account subsequent to my divorce. A Property and Support Settlement Agreement was signed by my husband on XXXX XXXX of XXXX, and by me on XXXX XXXX of XXXX. Both signatures were duly witnessed by NOTARY PUBLICS. This document was ratified into a Final Decree of Divorce is filed in XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX, Virginia. 

The section titled OBLIGATIONS FOR PRIOR DEBTS reads as follows : The parties acknowledge and agree that all joint marital debt has been paid in full and there are no longer any open jointly titled credit cards, and in the event, that this is not correct, such joint accounts will be closed forthwith. The parties agree that any debt incurred by either party shall be the sole and separate responsibility of the party incurring such debt, and each shall hold the other harmless and indemnify the other in this regard. 

Additionally, I have never received by post, by email, or any other method, a bill, or any correspondence with information having to do with the account. If my husband left a joint account open, it was in violation of a court order. 

I want this account removed from my credit report.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
I made my XXXX payment on its due date, XX/XX/2002. But when I submitted it on the app, the posting date appeared as XX/XX/2002. Confused, I called customer service, where an agent told me all payments made after XXXX XXXX. get posted the next day. I had submitted my payment at XXXX XXXX. The agent then explained that because the payment would post after the due date, I would be charged a late fee, but that if I called back after it posted, Capital One would remove it. Naturally skeptical, I asked if she would notate this in my account. She said she would. It should be noted that Capital One claims to record all customer service calls. After the fee hit my account, I called back and recounted to another customer service agent my conversation on XX/XX/XXXX and the promise of the fee waiver. He informed me he could not waive the fee, so I asked to speak to a supervisor. A supervisor named XXXX then came on the line. She was EXTREMELY rude and unhelpful. I explained my situation again, and she confirmed that despite what I was promised on XX/XX/XXXX, she couldn't remove the late fee because " the computer '' and " the algorithm '' wouldn't let her. When I reminded her that computers and algorithms are controlled by humans, she had no answer. I asked if there was anything else I could do. She responded curtly, " Well, now you know about the XXXX XXXX. cutoff and can get your payments in on time. '' I asked her to pull the audio of my XX/XX/XXXX call so we could both verify what I was promised. She said she had no way to do this. How convenient. Capital One records calls for its own protection but can't seem to access them when doing so would protect a customer 's rights. The reason for my complaint is not the arbitrary XXXX XXXX. cutoff time, although it's worth noting that I pay EVERY bill online and Capital One is the ONLY company that does this. No, what I want is much more simple : to get what I was promised by Capital One on XX/XX/XXXX, which is the late fee removed from my account.
