Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TN
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
A divorce decree dated XXXX/XXXX/13 awarded my ex-wife, XXXX XXXX XXXX, ownership of the property located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TN XXXX. Per the terms of the decree, she was required to refinance our jointly held mortgage with Fifth Third Bank, in her own name, within six months. She has refused to satisfy this obligation and has caused severe damage to my credit report since that time. Both my attorney and I have contacted XXXX XXXX in regards to this matter on multiple occasions. I have disputed this account with all XXXX credit bureaus. I have also contacted Fifth Third Bank in an attempt to be released from liability for this mortgage. All attempts to remove my name from this debt, and remove this debt from my credit report have been denied. It is my understanding that XXXX XXXX is unable to secure financing in her own name. Be that as it may, I should not continue to receive derogatory marks on my credit report due to her payment delinquency.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: SC
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Credit decision / Underwriting

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( DOB XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Last of ss : XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ( DOB XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Last of ss : XXXX ) Attached paper work in regards ' to the way that XXXX mortgage and also the Carrington mortgage company services LLC has been reporting to the credit agency on both of our credit reports untrue and inaccurate information ( Same joint accounts ). 
Information they are reporting are that the accounts were foreclosed on and a bankruptcy. 
They also make it appear that there are XXXX separate mortgages XXXX with a payment of {$360.00} and the other with a payment of {$700.00}. 
Carrington mortgage when I contacted : ( XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXXXXXXXXXX ) stated that the foreclosure is correct because it was filed by XXXX before the short sale. Attached is a copy of the title search which shows no foreclosure paper work on this property was ever filed by either mortgage company. Also neither can show any paper work showing any foreclosure was filed and nor that we were ever served any foreclosure action. Also my attorney handling the sale of our home also did not receive any such notice. The only mention of any of this is on our credit reports. I believe this to be a deliberate attempt to help block any future credit offers by any lenders causing a lower credit rating and a higher interest rate offer by anyone. This is also an unfair and should be illegal partice. A lender has already told me that credit can not be issued because of what is reported to the credit reporting agency regardless of what paper work I have on these XXXX accounts. 
Attached also is the following : 1 : date and approval of short sale letter. 2 : mortgage transfer letter and date. 3 : copy of the title search, 4 : Satisfaction of debt, 5 : mortgage statement showing paid, 6 : this cover letter. for a total of 8 pages. 
This matter needs to be corrected and stopped by these mortgage companies to which I believe are working hand in hand or are really just the same company just using a LLC as a shield.

My mom informed me that I received a letter in the mail from where I use to live stating that I owed a debt of child support. I have never been put on child support. I did a little investigating and I was told that someone has given my name and social security number to claim money every month. They have the wrong person. I decided to pull my credit report and it showed the exact same thing and two other accounts that had been opened under my name. These are unknown suspicious items I have never seen in my life. Please remove these fraudulent items from my credit report.

I have received no phone calls or contact via USPS Mail to confirm this collection is mine or valid ( which is not ) prior to it hitting my credit profile with the bureaus Due to this I have not & did not obtain the full statutory period in which to dispute the validity of this debt in question as I did not receive an initial notification regarding the debt. This collection must be removed from my credit promptly due to erroneous collection practices.

Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: AZ
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Auto debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Seized or attempted to seize your property

Complaint:
This is a complaint from XXXX XXXX against XXXX XXXX , XXXX and Westlake Services LLC for improper communication tactics and repeatedly repossessing my vehicle when I was not in default on the debt. 

On XX/XX/2018, we purchased a vehicle from XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$11000.00} ( VIN XXXX ). We financed the purchase through XXXX XXXX , XXXX. Over the next 9 months, we made our regularly scheduled payments. I understand that at some point during this time, XXXX  lost its legal status in Arizona and the debt was passed to Westlake. 

On XX/XX/2018, the vehicle disappeared. We thought it had been stolen ; but as it turned out, XXXX/Westlake had sent a tow truck to repossess it. Because of the disorganization of XXXX/Westlake, we did not get the car back until XX/XX/2018. 

A Westlake representative informed me that the car had been repossessed because of a clerical error. Apparently their computer system showed another debtor as the owner. Because that debtor was in default, my car had been taken instead of his I was offered no remedy, and was assured that the problem had been fixed and there would be no further confusion. 

On XX/XX/2018, the car was again repossessed. Once again, XXXX/Westlake seemed confused and did not know the location of the vehicle. We were given no assistance in locating the vehicle, and had to do all the legwork ourselves to track it down. Fortunately we were able to retrieve the car the next day. We were once again informed that, there had been a mix-up with our vehicle and another debtor 's debt, and offered no remedy. 

Since the second repossession, we have been hassled by Westlake representatives with nonstop calls. We informed them of the mix-up between debtor accounts, but they will not listen. We told them that we had retained an attorney, but they refused to talk to him. We have asked for assurance that the money we pay toward the debt is going toward our debt, but they will not provide this documentation. 

We need assistance clearing up this problem. We have missed work because the vehicle was taken and live under constant stress because we are being hassled with dozens of calls from Westlake every day. We are scared that Westlake is going to repossess the vehicle again. We don't even know if our payments are paying down our debt or not.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I have received conflicting information from representatives regarding the companies method of communication as well as the alleged issues with my payment. 

They have denied the removal of a 30 day late report, although their representative, who I initiated contact with, verified the details of my online account payments, processed payments with the SAME information and ensured me that the company would not be reporting the payment late. 

However, the payment was reported late. 

Additionally, I have received information from the company on 4 separate phone calls which communicated that all of my correspondences were only to come via USPS. Then yesterday, I received an email that stated phone call attempts were made. After reviewing that email, I spoke with a representative who stated that ALL communications to me as the customer are via USPS. 

I am receiving nearly robotic responses and their investigation has not delved into the detail nor taken their untimely method of communicating that there was an issue with the payment into consideration. Not even an email. Amidst this payment period of XXXX, I was XXXX XXXX in XXXX and was relegated there until my vehicle was recovered and processed. Upon returning home, I initiated contact with XXXX XXXX after checking my account for fraud because all of my credit cards and ID were taken and when I gained access to my account, I noticed the payment which had been made 5 days after the robbery, still had not debuted my account. This is the aforementioned call in which the rep told me that the No Account Information found was not my fault. 

I regard the untimely communication and the misinformation provided not to be aligned with the companies FCRA requirements. But more importantly, the sheer lack of compassion for me as a XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and a customer is unacceptable. 

All documentation which was just reviewed today, was said to be substandard, because technically the payment was received during the month of XXXX. 

I will contact XXXX XXXX, my congressman and their companies leadership in short order. Primarily because of the conflicting information, such as we called you three times versus we only mail you communication. 

We will reverse the late payment and place it to the principal and then we wont. 

Youre routing number was entered incorrectly but we can tell you the routing number versus we have the same info lets hope this goes through, it wont be reported late and then it is. 

These are not good faith practices and the fact that they would sully my credit history is astounding. 

I am humbly requesting the removal of their late payment and acknowledgment of the conflicting information that k have received.

Company: TEXAS HIGHER EDUCATION COORDINATING BOARD
State: TX
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
In a previous complaint ( XXXX ), I outlined how the Texas Higher Education Coordinating board would not let us pay ANY amount towards our principal balance until all interest was paid in full. They said this was their company policy. While I thought this practice was predatory and a little extreme, I decided to pay the full amount I owed in interest to the tune of a little over {$3700.00} on XX/XX/22. I was hoping that by doing so I could be caught up on owed interest and start paying off principal in the monthly payments. 

Unfortunately, I had another more serious problem. When I checked the balance this month on XX/XX/22, it was showing that our previous payment did NOT all go to interest as it should have. {$670.00} of it was allocated to principal, leaving {$670.00} in interest still on the account. I did not request this to do be done, nor would the provider according to THEIR OWN policy, allow principal to be paid until ALL interest was paid. And since this last payment, an additional {$220.00} in interest has been accrued, leaving the total we in interest this month at over {$850.00} dollars. 

This means that it would take an ADDITIONAL 3-4 months to pay off the interest at the minimum monthly rate because they chose to allocate some to principal without our knowledge. I called them and was asking for an answer as to why they would allocate some of our last payment to principal when they explicitly told us they would NOT do so. The lady on the line even said that it should not happen, and was not able ( or willing ) to provide me with any explanation for the action. She did say she was going to " try '' and get the {$670.00} re-allocated to interest, and that we would receive a call back at some point, but I am currently waiting on this to be done. Considering that the move would keep me paying on interest for a few additional months, and benefit the XXXX, I have a hard time believing this was not an intentional act to keep us paying on interest and getting more money. 

Either they lied to us when they said they could NOT allocate payments to principal until interest was fully paid, or they manually allocated some to principal ( WITHOUT consent or previous disclosure ) for the purpose of keeping us trapped on interest payments a little longer. Either way, I feel that this has been a huge breach of trust and is further evidence that this loan provider is acting in a predatory and fraudulent way when dealing with their customers. This is completely unacceptable for them to do this right after we make such a large payment to get rid of our owed interest.
