Company: ACS Education Services
State: CA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint:
I have XXXX XXXX student loans being serviced by ACS Education totaling approx. {$55000.00}. ( ACS also services a XXXX XXXX Loan of approx. {$75000.00}. ) The loans have been in repayment since 2004. 

I made repeated requests for ACS ( servicer ) and XXXX ( lender ) to provide an amortized payment schedule for each loan. This documentation is required by the underwriter of my mortgage lender for qualification purposes of an XXXX loan, pursuant to federal regulations in the US Dept. Housing and Urban Development. ( XXXX ) Both ACS and XXXX refused to provide such documentation. Only when pressed and asked directly, ACS offered to orally state the payment schedule of a single private loan, which is on a graduated payment plan. The ACS representative stated the payment amounts, length of term for specific payments, and dates due for each payment, but denied to produce any written confirmation of the information. Both ACS and XXXX indicated this is not a company policy to provide such documentation, and are not required to provide such information. ACS offered to provide the initial Loan Disclosures, which is insufficient documentation for mortgage underwriting, as the disclosures do not provide a full amortization schedule. 

Not only is refusal to provide an amortization payment schedule a deceptive lending practice and inconsistent with federal policies established at HUD, ACS ' lack of transparency does not afford consumers with the opportunity to understand their ongoing and future obligations under the loan ( s ).

Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC
State: OH
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/17 XXXX XXXX  EST Quicken Loans who provides loans online through rocket mortgage is ruining my credit when I was seeking a mortgage loan through them online. When applying for a loan, they did not state when they ran my credit that If you have had a foreclosure in the last 7 years they could only provide a FHA loan, which in my case, was not accepted by the seller on the house or acceptable by me. This ruined any chance on buying the home and now is ruining my credit in the process on the home I was looking looking to buy. I would have been better off with 90 % down and placing the rest on a personal loan since the amount was much less than the loan I was looking to get approved on. Quicken loans is causing my credit to fall with long term damages for getting a loan for a car in the future ETC ... .To me this is like a bait and switch attempt for quicken loans to provide mortgages to get people to use thier service. When sellers require that loans are not FHA Quicken Loans through Rocket Mortgage does not state it even if its the only loan they can get no matter what the damages are to thier clients. FHA loans require PMI or private mortgage insurance causing undue pain to those that seek a loan by increasing a monthly payment. From this simple credit check, this is causing me to believe that the mortgage crisis is still in full effect caused by the lending institutions and there is no accountability here and things need serious change in america which I will surely pass my experiences to my children.

State: NY

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I was called numerous times on a daily basis about a debt that Portfolio Recovery purchased in 2014. I  requested verification of the debt on numerous occasions, but I have never received any documentation ( a bill or any other proof ) from them. Because the account was negatively affecting my credit and my requests for validation were essentially ignored, I settled this account for s portion of the balance. 

Since then, this company has continued to report monthly as a factoring company with each credit bureau and has done so since the purchase of the collection account in 2014. The account shows that the debt originated with XXXX. I do not have the full account number. It begins with XXXX. 

I reached out to this company via a BBB complaint. Despite the fact that I attached documentation, which proves the contrary, the company has ignored my complaint. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX business practices are unscrupulous. Rather than perform its own due diligence by obtaining documentation from the claimed original creditor, the company continues to send me mail requesting that I provide such documentation. Even faced with proof of its illegal reporting on my credit reports, the company vehemently denies any wrongdoing.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: UT
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
After many years of enduring the difficulties of dealing with Greentree, now Ditech Mortgage, and paying their very high interest rate. My wife and I were able to improve our credit standing and refinance the high interest loan to a much lower rate with a local financial institution. We obtained a payoff letter from the Ditech website and our new company sent the funds as calculated by Ditech. The payoff amount was posted on XXXX XXXX, 2016. Instead of applying the total amount of the payoff to the principle portion remaining, Ditech applied {$1700.00} to the XXXX payment, and then the remaining portion of the payoff amount to the principle balance. Now they claim we owe an additional {$250.00} and change to pay off the remaining balance. Why would they not just pay off the remaining balance, the amount they gave us in the payoff letter?? Because applying it as a monthly payment creates just the scenario I have described. Once again Ditech/Greentree has exhibited the pattern of predatory lending practices, and their desire to charge customers every pound of flesh that they can.
