Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Credit decision / Underwriting

Complaint:
My husband XXXX and we 're looking to obtain a mortgage through United Security Financial out of Utah. We first refinanced our home and then after we started working on the process of obtaining a new mortgage for our upcoming move. We had a closing date set for XXXX XXXX. We were told our final condition was showing that we would be renting our current home ( along with a few others that we satisfied ) and that they needed to see a lease agreement. This was provided. Fast forward to Thursday XXXX XXXX I get told they laid off an entire office, the office that was handling our mortgage. After this time it was hard to get a hold of anyone or talk to anyone. Now conveniently we all of the sudden dont qualify. Finally on the Friday after sending some concerning emails the manager called me and said that we could n't be approved. She had barely even gone through our file so much so she did n't even know our recent mortgage was refinanced through her company just in the prior month! She said the only way she could approve is via a XXXX arm FHA. After I said that is not what we were told and our mortgage was basically approved we would not be accepting those terms. She preceded to thank me for wasting her time. This company is completely unprofessional and I feel should be investigated. We did n't even receive all of the required disclosures when obtaining a mortgage. We almost lost the purchase of our home. Thankfully we found another company who was able to complete and process the mortgage with approval in less than 3 weeks. I have retained all emails regarding business with this company. I have all correspondence with this company from emails to text messages from the originator.

Sub-issue: Not disclosed as an attempt to collect

Complaint:
At XXXX XXXX on Wednesday, XXXX XXXX, 2016, I received a phone call from phone number ( XXXX ) XXXX. No one talked on this call, but when I said, " hello, hello, is anyone there ... '' the caller disconnected the line. Three hours later, at around XXXX, I received a knock on the door from a gentleman asking for my mom ( who does not live with me ), as well as if I were her son. ( I had co-signed on her auto loan. ) He asked if she had a XXXX XXXX car, and where she lived. I gave him this information, thinking that he was simply wanting to service her car, or perhaps do repair work. He also asked for her phone number, which I did not give. When I asked who he was with, he responded " XXXX XXXX. '' Again, I did not suspect that this was a collection agency company, but simply suspected that it was a service company looking for my mom to help her with her oil changes, repairs, etc. He did NOT, EVER, state that he was attempting to collect a debt, and that he was with a debt collection company! I later did a XXXX search of " XXXX XXXX '' and found that it was a DEBT COLLECTION RECOVERY company! 

After filing a complaint with Chase Auto Finance, it was found that Chase did not employ this group, but rather they contracted out to XXXX ( XXXX ) through their XXXX ( XXXX ). Therefore, this complaint has been re-directed to XXXX ( XXXX ).

Complaint:
I have been trying to dispute the fraudulent items and request the Credit Bureaus to remove them completely from my Credit Report. I have bee sending multiple letters attached with complete proofs of my identity as well as the ID THEFT REPORT I received from the FTC. However, it has been brought to my attention that the XXXXredit Reporting Agencies are not blocking files when theyre sent with an FTC fraud report. Since it is a requirement by law 605b of the FCRA Im sending this letter certified mail to help establish a legal recourse. If the Credit Bureaus choose to not remove the following items listed below which are reporting inaccurately due to identity theft, I will be handing my documents over to my attorney to start a legal action. Its my intention to not pursue any legal action so please adhere to the law. Please remove the following items as they are fraudulent & were opened without my consent or knowledge : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Original Creditor : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$760.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX  Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$240.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$51.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX  Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$820.00} XXXX XXXXXX/XX/2021. The last letter I sent requests the Credit Bureaus to send me copies of documents bearing my signature to prove the Credit Bureaus ' claims regarding the fraudulent items, which they have failed to do so and yet continued reporting the disputed items. This action by the Credit Bureaus is a clear act of violation of my rights under the FCRA.

Complaint:
This client began trying to modify her loan in XXXX when her lender was XXXX. She continued to reach an attainable modification until XXXX when then lender was XXXX. After not being able to attain a modification, she opted to list her home with me in XXXX of XXXX for a short sale. At this time the file was with XXXX. The file was then sold to XXXX ( XXXX investor ). Although we were able to eventually get an offer that was approved from XXXX they buyers failed to close. We then submitted another offer with XXXX and was processing when we received word our file was being transferred to Shell Point. Up until the transfer we were communicating with the new investor through our contact at XXXX. We even received a counter offer from the new investor ( shell point ) and then the file was officially transferred over. We then spent the next 3 months trying to get an approval on this same offer. The buyers could not hold out any longer and again the buyers walked. I sent the contract cancellation the same day I received the approval from Shell Point. I then relisted and resubmitted an offer to Shell Point, first for {$310000.00} then {$320000.00} as to match the previous approval amount. This was submitted on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I was told if I could submit at the same amount as the last we could expedite the file to get a quicker approval. Since then I as well as the sellers attorney have been told that this file will be expedited. If I do not get an approval for the current offer by this Friday, the buyers, will again walk. No one can seem to get an answer from the investor for Shell Point as I am told they are not in house. How can I expedite this file? This client has been through four different servicers in just one year. The sale date for this home has been deferred twice. There is another sale date scheduled for XXXX XXXX.

Complaint:
I received XXXX County 's Original Citation submitted by Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP, signed by Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX representing XXXX County Toll Road Authority.

Sub-issue: Attempted to/Collected exempt funds

Complaint:
I made contact with Zwicker and Associates on XXXX/XXXX/15 to discuss the XXXX XXXX bill they are handling to see what our options were. We were served with a summons in XX/XX/XXXX and sent in our answer and instead of going through the courts we wanted to see if we can rectify the matter outside the courts. We talked to a collector I believe his name was XXXX and when I proceeded to tell him our income situation ( primary holder got laid off in XX/XX/XXXX at the time the payments stopped and hes now on unemployment, spouse works part time and expressed we get help from family to keep a roof over our head ) we offered we can do {$50.00} a month till our situation gets better. He said he can do the balance in XXXX parts over XXXX months, I advised we are not able to raise that kind of money due to our current situation. When we told him that he proceeded to tell us that they will collect this with a involuntary payment and when I asked him what that meant he said " I dont know how your state works '' he kept referencing " involuntary payment '' and I kept asking him what that meant because we offered payments and they refused to set up any arrangement on the payments we offered, so what is the involuntary payment mean? He said " I dont know how that works in your state again ''. We asked to speak to someone who knew what that meant and a XXXX XXXX a manager, we asked him what they meant by " involuntary payments '' he said the courts will determine what that is..and said he didnt know the laws in our state. They currently do not have a judgment against us and we have not been to court so referencing any legal action, involuntary payments and not accepting what we offered this is illegal. Thank you for your time in this matter.

I was XXXX in XXXX 2009. At that time, I was receiving XXXX for my XXXX. While XXXX at the XXXX, I spoke to a VA Representative who assisted me in stopping these payments while I was on XXXX.

When the " stop payment '' paperwork finally caught up to the VA, payment was halted ; however, I had incurred a debt. Upon my return to the states and upon filing income tax returns, I discovered this debt. I contacted the VA, who informed me they had sent it to their XXXX XXXX XXXX. I fully paid the debt, satisfying the case against me. This past year, I have been attempting to clean up my credit report.

I was informed they would not remove it. I would like it cleared off of all XXXX ( XXXX ) of my credit reports. I am still XXXX and hope to purchase my XXXX home soon.
