Consumer complaint received 2017-03-07
Product: Debt collection — Credit card
Issue: Communication tactics — Threatened to take legal action
Company: CAVALRY INVESTMENTS, LLC (KY)

I learned in 2013 a company named Calvary had filed a XXXX negative reports to the credit bureaus for a claim on XXXX and XXXX XXXX credit cards. I wrote and asked them about the reports, asked them to provide proof of a debt to which I was unaware, and to cease and desist. They mailed me statements that reflected fees and interest and otherwise gave no information. Apparently, then it was given to XXXX and XXXX and I wrote XXXX and XXXX and again inquired. Since my efforts, a suit was filed and a judgment granted, all without my knowledge even though they had my contact information and we were corresponding and talking by telephone, no one told me. I found out when my checking account began being garnished! This has caused me a great deal of stress and additional financial problems because of the garnishment. I may now have to file a bankruptcy! I need help getting the judgments repealed, the reports removed from my credit bureaus and my garnished money returned to me. This should never be allowed to happen to any American consumer. I believe these companies have acted illegally and in bad faith pursuant to Kentucky statutes of the Fair Consumer Act and the Federal Trade Commissions policies and ordinances.

Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (WY)

Refinanced a loan with Freedom Mortgage approximately 5 months after buying our home. We got a letter from them stating we were eligible for a VA Streamlined refinance that would not extend the term of the loan, as well as " no out-of pocket closing costs ''. An estimated closing date for the refinance was XX/XX/XXXX. We mailed a partial unapplied payment of {$530.00} just in case we did not close on XX/XX/XXXX and would have to make a payment on XX/XX/XXXX. Called and spoke with customer service to see if closing date was firm, it was, and then asked if our balance sitting in unapplied funds of {$530.00} would be applied towards our new loan. She said yes. None of these events actually transpired. Our original maturity date of XX/XX/XXXX changed to XX/XX/XXXX. Our {$530.00} was incorrectly applied to our old, now paid off loan. We have spoken to employes in customer service two more times about getting the {$530.00} applied towards new loan and were told it would be taken care of. Still has not been corrected as of today, XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (MN)

I applied for Mortgage assistance with Carrington Mortgage for the second time on XX/XX/XXXX because my loan is in foreclosure and I am having trouble making the payment and getting the loan current. Before that I applied around XX/XX/XXXX and they came to decision and denied me because I did n't have enough income. I applied again on XX/XX/XXXX because my income changed. It 's NOW XX/XX/XXXX and I still have not had any progress with Carrington mortgage to resolve my issue. The normal process takes 30 days to reach a decision if they can help or not and I have n't got to that point yet because I 've been getting the run around. The issue I am having with them is that they keep asking for the same paperwork and documentation to complete their mortgage package. ( divorce decree, other borrower financial information, letters of explanation, etc. and they keep asking for a Quit claim deed from the other borrower who has no interest in the property since I was granted my divorcee. Also I was abused by the other party and there is a current OFP on file for the next 50 years that the other person can not contact me. I have talked to several employees and Supervisors about this issue and no one seems to know why they keep requesting the same information from me and keep opening and closing my file when they know my foreclosure date is approaching very soon. I have faxed, email, and uploaded everything they needed to start the process and I have not got anywhere. In Minnesota you have 7 business before the foreclosure date to submit a request for mortgage assistance and do to this issue I am concerned that I will not meet that deadline. My situation is complicated and I would like to explain in more detail in person or the telephone. Since I have started this process with Carrington mortgage I have suffered a lot of emotional stress, pain and anxiety because I have done everything I need to do to keep my home and I feel Carrington mortgage is not understanding to that. If possible I would like all the notes and phone calls pulled from them so someone can see in detail what I have been through these last 3 months. Please if you can help I would appreciate it. Thanks
