Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: HI
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020 I sent a certified registered letter to my mortgage company requesting 180 days of forbearance and they completely ignored my request claiming they never received such a request which I know they did because I had the signed receipt from the postal service. I was waiting to hear from them for 2 months and they had my current email, home address in Hawaii and phone number but they chose to send late notices to the mortgaged home knowing I wasnt going to receive these notices. My daughter had just so happened to pick up the mail and thats when I was aware they had ignored my request for forbearance and were reporting to my credit agencies that I was 60 days late and then I get a call from the VA inquiring about my non payment and I immediately paid my loan up to date to avoid getting foreclosed on. When I contacted Shellpoint Mortgage to find out why they didnt contact me via email, phone or mail at my current address and why they had ruined my credit for not granting me the forbearance request they responded that they never received my request and when I asked them to reverse the 60 day late reports they refused. I then filed a complaint and sent the signed receipt from the registered, certified letter requesting forbearance and I am still waiting for them to correct this.

Please find the ATTACHED documents to assist in the blocking of the erroneous information which is being posted to my report.

Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
I am a card holder and have been one for some time. I have never experienced a problem until this month when one of your practices, obviously designed to deceive customers and trick them into late payments for which you receive additional fee benefits, caught me too.
The due date remains constant but cycle dates change which misrepresents when obligations are due and credited. My due date is the 6th. I made it on the 8th and you credited it to the month prior to the 6th and since I thought my payment was made I tendered no additional payments until I received a call notifying me my payment for XXXX was applied as an extra payment to a former cycle making me late. 

The customer service rep was nice and required me to make a double payment immediately. 

You should not be allowed to arbitrarily apply payments to enhance your fee income. I also believe the double payment was arbitrary, unnecessary and saddled me with an additional amount due, which I did, but it I believe it is overkill. 

I have had this care for a long time and have a balance now because I am doing some home improvements. I plan on paying it off in the next couple of months and will likely close out this relationship because of this unethical and possibly illegal practice. 

I will be sending this complaint to the Office of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in the hope that it will open an investigation and possibly to force you to return to fair credit practices. I also wonder how many other consumers have suffered because of this practice. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX Cc : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Complaint:
Equifax improperly handled my personal data leading to it being compromised in a XX/XX/XXXX hack that compromised 140 million people 's personal data including social security numbers, addresses, credit card numbers, etc. Their lack of proper data handling security directly led to this leak of my information. 

On top of that, Equifax did not come public about the loss of information untilXX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX. 

Additionally, Equifax is attempting to make people waive their right to legal action against the credit reporting agency when a user attempts to place a fraud alert on their account.

Sub-issue: Investigation took too long

Complaint:
An original complaint was filed in regard to the negligence of Transunion to investigate errors on my credit report on XXXX XXXX, 2016. In a response to those issues in complaint # XXXX, Transunion is choosing to extend time to investigate disputes it has not investigated. Simply because the company has provided no proof it ever investigated. However, upon receiving claims dated XXXX XXXX, 2016, that XXXX accounts are deemed frivilous due to their classification as already investigated is false. See Attached. In any event, these arbitrary action will be met with equal resistance toward compliance. Thank you in advance for your prompt response.

Chase response was " decision was not decided in my favor. '' ' they were required to provide documentation rebutting my dispute ; didn't supply direction on how of the lengthy of time I had to appeal decision. I filed a complaint with the CFPB. They responded by requesting my information for review and the additional information I wished to submit. I further added, that XXXX   never presented my documentation to the host to respond to nor did XXXX respond to the facts that I was NOT able to leave the host 's home while I felt it was unsafe because they failed to respond to my website messages and urgent safety messages ( which I provided them copies of ) for 6 consecutive days. Their policy is " if there is a safety issue with a guest, XXXX  will relocate the guest to another location of equal or greater value. '' Since there was no response from XXXX was forced to remain in unsafe home, with a host who refused to close the doors to her home and lock them, during the pandemic, despite my repeated requests ( all presented to XXXX  and Chase in writing, Chase 's most recent response to my appeal repeats their first response AND then states " it may or may not be to late to review your case again even if what you state is accurate. ' This nebulous response is exactly condescending language which has been directed towards me and the failure to follow the Fair Credit Billing Act rules and procedures.

Complaint:
Equifax mishandled my information which has led to a breach that puts myself and millions of others at potential risk. I am extremely disappointed with how equifax has handled reporting this breach. Very little was done to notify the public for nearly a month after the breach was detected. I received no email, letter, or phone call and instead had to discover it via social media. 

Going forward equifax should be required to monitor every account and notify victims if any fraud occurs. Credit fraud protection should be mandatory for every account, not an option for us to have deal with. 

This should be rectified firstly by making credit freezing free and refunding everyone who paid for it following this data breach. Requiring a police report is absurd when they clearly know if you were affected. 

I 'd like some form of commitment that this wo n't negatively affect my ability to get a mortgage in the next few years.

By the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I demand that these items be investigated and removed from my report. It is my understanding that you will recheck these items with the creditor who has posted them. Please remove any information that the creditor can not verify. I understand that under 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681a ( D ) ( 2 ) ( B ), where as my consumer report doesnt include any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer. Therefore my character, credit worthiness and reputation are in question which goes against the law previously stated.
