Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: IA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Other type of mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
My loan was originally set up with XXXX XXXX. It has since been sold multiple times, finally ending up last year with NewRez/Shellpoint. 

My original paperwork shows that my interest rate is adjustable each year with a maximum of 1 % change per year and with a ceiling of 5 % of the initial rate. There is a 2 % margin over the 1Yr-CMT-Weekly index rounded to the nearest .125 %. 

Last year my rate was 4.375 % XXXX : 4.125 % XXXX : 3.125 % XXXX : 2.625 % XXXX : 2.250 % XXXX : 2.125 % This year NewRez/Shellpoint sens me a rate adjustment paper telling me that my rate will be 4.5 % because they have added a 4.5 % floor to my rate. So despite the index going down to 0.16 % they have RAISED my rate, because they have added their own floor to my interest rate that has NEVER been on my loan before.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I took a forbearance of my mortgage in XXXX and XXXX of 2020 due to being furloughed from my job. I was told by the agent from XXXX XXXX XXXX before accepting the forbearance that this would have no effect on my credit because I was current on my loan prior to taking forbearance. My house sold and the loan was paid in full on XX/XX/XXXX. I went to get another loan and found out my credit rating was 75 points lower than were it was prior. When I pulled my free credit reports I can see that XXXX XXXX XXXX reported me as LATE both XXXX and XXXX and I show 60 days late/delinquent for XXXX. Under the CARES act this account should have been reported as CURRENT not late and it should have no negative effect on my credit rating. Looking at my credit reports there is NO DOUBT that XXXX XXXX XXXX reported negatively. It's the only adverse account in my entire record. I would like this corrected immediately. I've tried to get XXXX XXXX XXXX to correct it and they refuse.

Company: BBVA FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY
Product: Credit card
Issue: Rewards

Complaint:
A while ago I applied and was approved for a XXXX XXXX XXXX card issued by BBVA Compass bank. The most compelling feature of this card that was, was 5 % back in reward points ( BBVA Compass call it TripleDouble Rewards points ) on all purchases during the XXXX All Star weekend ( usually happens in XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Two Weeks of XXXX Finals ( usually happens in XX/XX/XXXX ). So XXXX Two Weeks of Finals starts in XXXX XXXX and I start increasing my usage of the card to finally take advantage of the 5 % back in reward points, but BBVA Compass suddenly put a hold on my card and freeze it. I understand that this happens because banks may have security or fraud concerns, but this should get resolved by a call or otherwise by confirming the validity of transactions in a reasonable amount of time. It did n't work like that for BBVA Compass, they liked to keep my card on hold while the XXXX Two Weeks of Finals were passing and the account is still on hold. They included a feature in the Reward program they they advertised that convinced but when the time to use that feature arrived, they did n't let me use it. This is bait and switch.

Company: Revenue Recovery Corporation
State: KY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint:
I called this Revenue Recovery to ask for an itemized statement for a large medical bill I do not remember, I assumed it was a previous collection agency handling one of my other medical bills. They agreed to send it in the mail. I am trying to see if the VA will help me pay for any of the debt since I was n't close enough to a VA facility at the time. I agreed to make payments definitely, and told them it would be in various amounts and frequently throughout the month since I would pay with income from my employment and VA compensation. 2 days later, I have a new collections account on my credit report that just showed up. My credit score drops XXXX points and I find this extremely unfair to do period, especially 2 days after I contact them for verbal agreement. The only statement I have does not have my apartment number on it and that is why I told them I may have not been getting any other letters from their company. I 'm in a better place financially and am now able to pay on all of my debts simultaneously, I go about doing it and end up with this. There has to be some way to undo this. I am calling tomorrow morning and speaking with a supervisor. I have attached what I just found to be the original creditor ( the hospital ) on my credit report under the " Collections Removed '' portion. They are listed there twice. Duplicated, same name and amount of {$640.00} I know nothing about. Why was this there then removed? And who removed this? This is why I asked for the itemized statement, to verify amounts for instances like this.

Complaint:
My car note was transferred over to XXXX XXXX XXXX In XXXX of 2020, and they have not reported to the credit bureaus. 

I called XXXX on XX/XX/2020 and was told that everything had to be communicated through the mail and there was not an option to talk to anyone or email anyone about the issue. I had to mail my information in along with my full Social Security Number in the mail. I asked if i could give just the last 4 and was informed no. I was told that due to high call volume the dispute department only communicates through mail, and a response will be sent 30 days after the date that they receive the dispute. 

I understand that it is against the law to open up others mail if it is not yours ; however, not everyone follows the rules of the law. I do not feel comfortable mailing out my full Social Security number with the possibility that someone may get it other than XXXX XXXX. I also dont know why they have not reported not one payment that we have made to them to the credit bureaus for 3 months now. If they had ran into an issue at all they have my email address and physical mailing address. I never received any documentation indicating that they did not have our SSN 's to  report to the Credit Bureaus.
