Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — Confusing or misleading advertising or marketing
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC (CA)

I contacted a loan officer to discuss options for lowering my monthly payments. He insisted that the only solution was to apply for a refinance, even though I inquired about alternatives like a loan modification or a loan recast. The officer claimed I would need at least {$90000.00} for any changes, and refinancing was the only way. Later, I found information from NEWREZ that contradicted this, so I called him back to ask specifically about recasting the mortgage. Unfortunately, he hung up on me during the conversation and now will not answer.

My account with those creditors was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in those account to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (TN)

A late fee of {$30.00} was assessed on XX/XX/24 though total account was paid in full on XX/XX/24. 
XXXX, unable to access computer and calendar dates caused the rare incident. 

The total late fee was paid on XX/XX/24 with a message to the company RE : of high late fee. On XX/XX/24 the company stated they would refund 1/2 the late charge per XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

My CC activity balance displays a {$15.00} refund of late fee on XX/XX/24 ( before my initial payment for the late fee ) On XX/XX/24 I sent a message to XXXX to honor the late fee of {$8.00} established by CFBP since their bank, Comety, has 50 million customers.

Instead, they charged my bank account the full {$30.00} and issued a credit for future purchases of {$15.00} This is NOT acceptable and I'm sure not the intention of the committee protecting the public. They have failed to follow the guidelines and refuse to refund funds accepted.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (OH)

TD Card Services was contacted by a person who had stolen my credit card information. TD failed to properly authenticate this person when they called notifying them of an upcoming fraudulent purchase using my card, and allowed them to change the phone number ( my number ) that was associated with the account. This charge for {$6200.00} on XXXX from XXXX was processed using XXXX Payment on an XXXX and then discovered by me as a fraud. I notified TD of the fraud around XXXX XXXX. They said they would credit the fraudulent charge, close my account, and issue me a new card. I received the new card, and through a series of at least 4 frustrating phone calls, finally authenticated my account by faxing them several forms of ID. I called 3 more times as the fraudulent charge remained associated with my account. Each time I was told that the charge would be credited in 5 to 7 business days. As my credit card statement neared its due date, I notified TD in an additional call that my billing due date was approaching, that the credit had not been made, and that I did not want to see late fees, interest charges, and a notification of missed payment sent to the credit reporting agencies. My fear was that this would negatively impact my credit score as a consumer through no fault of my own. No one in their customer support could explain to me how or if the credit reporting agencies would be notified in the event of a late payment. After speaking with a fraud specialist on an additional call, it was only then determined that the credit was placed onto the old and now closed account. Predictably, the account came due and interest charges and late fees were added to my account. I made an additional XXXX calls over the last week trying to get this resolved to no avail. I spoke to a supervisor XXXX after being on hold for almost XXXX minutes who again lied to me telling me the credit would be applied the next day. It was not, only the late fee was credited. I called the next day and was told that the supervisor was in a meeting and that I would receive a call back from the supervisor XXXX and I never received a call back. I asked the representative on how I could give feedback to TD on the frustrating experience that I was having and they could provide no such contact information. I asked if the credit reporting agencies had been notified and I was not directly answered only that the fraudulent charge was marked as disputed in their system. It is now XXXX/XXXX/16 and the charge remains on my account as well as interest. There is no excuse for the breach of my account, the lies that I 've been told, and the waste of all of my time which I have not been compensated for. I am writing this in the hope that as a consumer in the United States, there are protections and sanctions against those incompetent companies who mistreat their customers, and potentially ruin their credit worthiness.

Issue: Taking/threatening an illegal action — Threatened arrest/jail if do not pay
Company: Coastal Financial Solutions, LLC (VA)

The company was Coastal Financial Solutions who continued to call. I initially did n't recall the debt ; however, after a few minutes of research on my bank statements, I found verification. I made two honest payments on my account, which I stopped making due to financial constraints. 

There was claim by Coastal Financial Solutions that they had made numerous attempts to contact me, which I never recalled receiving. We took the payments off autopay and genuinely forgot about the debt. 

On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I received several consecutive calls from a person representing Coastal Financial Solutions, who DID NOT state that this was an attempt to collect a debt and all information would be used for the purpose. He also stated that if it was n't resolved then it could be considered a felony and possible jail time. I was then transferred to the supervisor who said the same thing. Then the call was disconnected. I have received no correspondence from XXXX, nor have I received any correspondence from Coastal Financial Solutions. I have n't received any summons to court or any legal documents. 

When asked to receive correspondence by mail, they refused, when the law states they must send written correspondence within 5 days. They considered my request a refusal to pay. They said that my lack of recollection was considered a refusal to pay. 

After a few minutes of researching bank statements, I recalled that I did, in fact, take out the loan and I am responsible for it. I called them back and spoke to the same supervisor, who said he would send a settlement agreement of approximately {$790.00} by XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2016 through e-mail.

Ditech continues to miss manage my account with them. My husband received a call 2 weeks ago stating we owe the company 'Advance Fees ' from XXXX from the previous Servicer ( Greentree ) & when can we settle that payment. I informed my husband that was not the case and why do Ditech continue to call and harass us? there is currently a cease and desist order against them on my account. My argument is this, the year is now XXXX Ditech claim they have outstanding 'Advance Fees ' on my account from XXXX, approximately 5 years in the past. Why all of a sudden Ditech is moving ahead to collect these fees when they were no such fees listed on my account until recently. Did Ditech somehow pull these bogus fees out the air?? I am gravely concerned about Ditech 's unscrupulousness business practices and how Ditech continues to miss apply my payments and make up fees that are unsubstantiated. I have been making on-time payments to Ditech every month these payments are withdrawn from my bank account. However, Ditech continues to harass me with bogus advance fees, this has greatly affected my health as my over all well being. I expected Ditech to be a company who values their customers and not to threaten them with evictions or repossession orders. Especially when their customers are making their payments on time and accurate.

Company: SOFI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (NC)

I do not completely understand when or why it happened but I had a check deposited from my job and I went to make a transfer to my wife for food and school supplies. And when I open my account it showed that the account was restricted. I called the bank several times and they would not provide a reason why and then they finally release the restriction and then after making payments to my storage unit they stop the payment and then I had to redo the payment and pay for other things. And this week they have put the restriction back in place. Without reason. I am unsure if the restriction is because I'm using the feature that the bank has which is XXXX. Or the fact that I deposit money and send to my wife for support and food using XXXX. But the micromanagement of my account is beyond anything I've experienced and I no longer want to use this bank.
