Company: American Financial Resources, Inc.
State: IN
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I paid {$100.00} extra each month towards the principal on my loan, on XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX/XXXX/16. There is no prepayment penalty and I am trying to reduce the amount of interest and pay the loan off early. Instead of applying the payments to the principal each month, on XXXX/XXXX/16 the company applied {$350.00} to the XXXX payment and only {$42.00} to the principal. I also had scheduled a payment for XXXX XXXX and again on XXXX/XXXX/16. The company now says I do n't need to make another payment until XXXX/XXXX/16. This will not reduce the amount of the principal, nor will I save on the interest or pay off the mortgage early. I e-mailed the lender twice and spoke to a customer service representative on XXXX/XXXX/16, who told me she would correct the account. She did not do so and I have n't had a response to the emails. I am a co-signer on the loan.

Complaint:
Opp loans have been adding an additional {$200.00} to my payoff balance every month. Just when I think I close to paying the loan off it gets bigger. I called and inquired about it and then asked them to fix it. 
I was told that the loan accrued {$200.00} every month and I told them it should not be so and to pay me my money back. Of course they refused because this company is now full of lying thieves committing highway robbery on customers which is against the law. 

They also lied about a deferment on my account with different reps giving me different information. I was told a payment was due for the month of XXXX and then I received an email saying I missed a payment. I asked them which is, they can't make up their minds and are XXXX XXXX XXXX

Sub-product: Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)
Issue: Improper contact or sharing of info
Sub-issue: Talked to a third party about my debt

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, 2016 at around XXXX I called national credit systems at XXXX and was transferred to XXXX XXXX. I inquired about settling the debt for {$2000.00}, with the original amount being just under {$3900.00}. XXXX informed that she would have to submit a formal request to the original creditors, XXXX on XXXX, the apartment units I originally owed money to. When I asked about obtaining a copy of this formal request for my records she denied me this request and said I have no right to know what they are sending. I explained to her that as a consumer I felt I did have a right to a copy of this request since it has my name and it is a request for a financial settlement. I was again denied this request later in the day after being transferred to her supervisor, XXXX XXXX. On XXXX I reached out to XXXX XXXX who is XXXX and XXXX 's manager. XXXX also informed me that he is unwilling to provide me with the official request that was being sent to XXXX because it is client privilege and he does not have to release such documents. I asked him he could then provide me with a letter from the company to myself stating that they sent a formal request to XXXX on XXXX inquiring about a possible settlement for my account. He also refused to provide me with this letter. As a consumer, I feel that I am entitled to keep track of what this company is doing regarding my inquiries to settle this debt. Their refusal to provide me with any documentation of their attempts is making me question if they are really taking these actions at all.

Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
In XXXX XXXX XXXX we switched banks from XXXX XXXX  to XXXX XXXX. Target card was set on autopay on XXXX XXXX and when the payment was processed it did not go through they contacted us and we updated it in their system and setup autopay coming out of XXXX. 

4 months later I received an alert from my credit monitoring system saying target had submitted a 30 day late to the bureau. I contacted Target and paid the amount in full and asked why autopay was not setup and they were going to fix it and submit for review to remove from bureau. 

30 days later we have no resolution. They are saying that they send our statements that show when a payment is due which I understand but they never attempted via email, phone or mail to let me know that any payment was past due. I have had that account for years and I had perfect credit I always pay my bills and have never once had a late payment with any provider. 

They said that they should send out notification the day after a payment is not posted on the due date to let you know that a payment is due and this NEVER happened. From XXXX on we have never received notification of late payment and are disputing their practices. They have been rude and hung up on us multiple times during the review process.

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

Complaint:
First National Bank of Omaha has illegally pulled my credit. They stated they receive on a monthly basis an update of my consumer file. I have NEVER consented to such thing. 
First National Bank of Omaha pulled my credit without my authorization. And made an adverse action against me. I did not give XXXX nor any of its agent 's permission to furnish a copy of my credit file on XX/XX/2022. XXXX has used the information illegally obtained on XX/XX/2022, and decreased my revolving credit limit. Not only was this credit pull unauthorized, but it was a violation several FRCA laws. You've stated the reporting agency played no part in our decision, yet you did a soft pull on my credit report and used to information provided as a reason to decrease my credit limit. Your policies do not override the law. You MUST get written or oral permission from the consumer who's information who you wish to obtain before you pull a credit report. Also said collections account being reported is a result of identity theft. As you may be aware, it is against federal law in accordance with Equal Credit Opportunity Act to proclaim an adverse action against a consumer. Pursuant 15 U.S Code 1691 ( C ) and you assume civil liability pursuant 15 U.S Code 1691 ( K ). XXXX has violated my federally protected consumer rights : 1. 15 U.S Code 1642 2. 15 U.S Code 1681M 3. 12 CFR 1002 4. 15 U.S. Code 1681B ( a ) ( 2 ) Since the letter you sent me dated March 19, 2022, is both a proof and evidence that I have been discriminated against, you are also criminally liable. XXXX should resort to reasonable procedures to rectify this affair and compensate me for the use of my social security number. Otherwise, this would be considered an unauthorized use since I have received NO BENEFIT. Attached to this initial attempt to rectify, is an proof of violation and invoice to collect actual damages for said violations.

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern : I received a copy of my credit report with the intention of trying to improve my credit and take care of my responsibilities and noticed a few accounts that I wanted a little more explanation on. I am not saying the reporting agency is right or wrong. I am just saying that I am not 100 percent sure if they are. I also read something called the Fair Credit Reporting Act where it said by law, I had rights to challenge anything I am not sure is accurate. Some of the people reporting things on me. I have never heard of which made me write to you all. 

Are you familiar with something called 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681 ( a )? I heard that if you can not provide proof, these accounts must be deleted. Well I want these accounts deleted if they are not 100 percent right and correct. So could you please check on these and get back to me? I saw on a Credit Site and Board where this lawyer said you have 30 days to complete this investigation. Please investigate the following accounts and remove them if anything is missing or not correct on them.

This game has to stop!!!!!! They take our money and give us NO credit to our account for it or they send our payments back to us. They say they are sending paperwork to us but do n't. They called and offered to allow us to pay {$720.00} a month and a reduction in principle, we agreed, then they never sent paperwork to us. Now they are not following through with that offer.
