Complaint:
Service 1st Mortgage XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) sends deceptive advertising to its " customers '', most of whom are Veterans. As the Compliance Officer for Service First Mortgage ( XXXX XXXX ), I field calls from very angry customers who have been told to skip mortgage payments and now have late mortgage payments reflecting on their credit report. They leave numerous messages and never receive a call back. They are told they will close a certain day and then do not hear anything from the company until the day before. Sometimes not even then. Service 1st 's behavior is both unfair and deceptive and should be addressed by the CFPB.

Company: Seterus, Inc.
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
My mortgage was sold to Seterus in XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX. The escrow account was shorted when transferred to Seterus and my last payment to XXXX was not applied nor forwarded to Seterus. I have called and worked with XXXX and Seterus for a full year. However, no one wants to take ownership and step up to help fix the problem. The loan has been behind from day 1 with Seterus and is falling farther behind -- even as I continue to make payments for over the amount due in an attempt to catch my mortgage up. 
My loan continues to be hit with charges driving my loan farther behind and into foreclosure. I believe total mismanagement of my escrow account and payments have occurred. I have called and asked to speak to a supervisor or be assigned a specific representative so I do not have to start at XXXX every time I call and attempt to get this fixed. The last time I called- I waited to speak to a supervisor on hold for XXXX minutes and then I was disconnected/hung up on. I ca n't believe they are going to foreclose when I had been current until my last month with XXXX. I have attempted to login online to the Seterus website. All I can see is just a big black box ; the whole screen is black. I ca n't see any details regarding my loan. 
I received approx. {$700.00} in XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating they have now found the funds and 'fixed my mortgage balance '. But my mortgage is not fixed and {$700.00} will not fix the problem due to all the legal and late fees now on my account. I asked Seterus if I send the money XXXX shorted at transfer and refunded me which causing my mortgage to be behind and increasing my payment due to the escrow shortage- 'will you go back and reapply my payments correctly and remove all the extra charges- legal and late '. Seterus says they will run analysis and get back with me in two weeks. I never hear back from Seterus. I keep calling them back and usually end up on the phone for about an hour while the representative looks things up and then Seterus employees says the same thing!! 'We need to run an analysis and will get back with you in two weeks. Now I 'm two weeks from foreclosure!!! Please help me!

Company: SCOTTRADE BANK
State: CA
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
I have been a scottrade customer for over 10 years. I took them up on their advertisement to open a checking account. Big Hassle! Not worth it. Despite being a long time customer, they needed to see proof of identification, including a utility bill. When I brought that into the nearest branch ( almost 20 minutes away ) they then told me I needed to bring in my Social Security card or a XXXX with my social on it. When I told them I could only provide the XXXX I received from my Scottrade brokerage account ( I am a stay-at-home mom ), they said they could n't accept that one. 

Going online into my account, they suggest transferring money to my new checking accout and sent a debit card to my home address. However, they wo n't let me transfer money from my brokerage to my checking account. 

To sum it up, Scottrade Bank does n't seem ready to handle regular online banking. Here I thought it would be a logical place to open a checking account, but it was a pain to a ridiculous extent.

Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

Complaint:
I have repeatedly ( three times ) mailed Equifax regarding their investigation of an unauthorized hard inquiry of my credit report. I understand that under FCRA they are required to provide a description of the actual procedure used, including name, address, and telephone number of anyone they contact. Each time I write to them requesting that, they send me a form letter that does not actually include that required information. Their responses, which seem to be simple auto-generated form letters, also ignore specific and relevant questions about the process and their investigation.

Complaint:
I have several unauthorized inquiries reporting to my Equifax Credit Report. I Have disputed these Items multiple times ( the last disputes dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX according to Equifax and some dating back to XXXX ) with no response to my request showing that these inquiries have been authorized by me. What I receive is not validation that I actually authorized the inquiries but and updated credit report stating " We have received the inquiry information. The results are inquiries are a factual record of file access. If you believe this was unauthorized, please contact the creditor. " I contacted each creditor and Equifax simultaneously at the time I disputed the information and have received no response. I requested to be provided proof I consented to this inquiry via FCRA section 609 and 605 as well as the accuracy of this inquiry via FCRA section 623. If there was no proof I requested that the inquiries be removed immediately. I have yet to receive a response to my requested from Equifax or the original creditors. This continues to negatively impact my overall credit and I would like the unauthorized inquires removed immediately.

State: VA
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint:
Equifax has XXXX hard inquiries on my credit report, when XXXX has XXXX and XXXX has XXXX. Some of the XXXX inquiries are from companies I never approved of and others are from companies I 've never even heard of. When I reported the inaccuracies, it took them less than a day to tell me that I can contact the creditor because they report anything they 're told. I 'm not sure how they expect me to contact companies I 've never heard of, hand them my personal information and hope they admit their mistakes and fix it. I am a victim of identity theft affected by the XXXX, XXXX and XXXX cyber attacks. At best someone stole my identity, but I do not believe this is the case, I believe equifax is trolling for false negative information as they have in the past and it was proven in court. The fraudulent inquiries are : XXXX inquires from XXXX XXXX XXXX ; this is my bank for my checking account but I never authorized any credit inquiries. XXXX inquiries from XXXX ; I 've never heard of them let alone authorize a check. XXXX inquiries from XXXX bank ; never authorized. XXXX XXXX inquiry ; never authorized. XXXX XXXX inquiry ; never authorized. This totals up to XXXX false inquiries and only XXXX correct ones. These fraudulent activities need to be taken off my report and I should not have to contact individual companies myself. It is equifax 's responsibility to verify the accuracy of the information they report before allowing it to damage my credit and reputation.
