Consumer complaint received 2016-08-01
Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC (MD)

Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing ( shellpointmortgageservicing.com ) incorrectly took extra interest from me that was not theirs TWICE. The first time, they applied extra principal I added to my monthly payment to interest. I tried to resolve this by phone which supposedly would take a few days. When I logged on to my account a few days later on XXXX, I noticed Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing postdated my extra mortgage payment nearly a month ( from XXXX to XXXX ) and unfairly took an extra month 's interest once again. I noticed this by checking my payoff amount, reduced by more than extra month 's interest ( see attached documents ). Mortgage companies must ensure that they are able to apply principal payments correctly and timely so consumers are not forced to pay interest not due, in my case, paying two months of interest in one month. Does Shellpoint have the ability to fix this issue in accordance with fair lending practices, compliant at the state and federal levels? I request that my principal payment be applied at the time it was received by the company and the payoff be amended to its real amount. Thank you.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (SC)

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. 
The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper.

I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

I am reaching out to dispute the inaccurate verification of an account on my credit report. The attached letters clearly show that the information being reported is incorrect. However, your agency continues to verify the inaccurate information as accurate without making the necessary corrections. 

This failure to address the inaccuracies is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates proper investigation and correction of disputed information.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Loan sold or transferred to another company
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (CA)

I am submitting this complaint regarding a vehicle loan I obtained from NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION on XX/XX/year>. The loan agreement fails to include the required notice under the holder in due course rule, " NOTICE Any holder of this consumer credit contract is subject to all claims and defenses which the debtor could assert against the seller of goods or services obtained pursuant hereto or with the proceeds hereof. Recovery hereunder by the debtor shall not exceed amounts paid by the debtor hereunder. '' as specified in the Truth in Lending Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq. ) and California Civil Code 1802.5.

The holder in due course rule requires that certain disclosures be made to protect consumers from potential abuses in the assignment of contracts. Specifically, the required notice informs borrowers that if the contract is assigned, they have the right to assert claims and defenses against any holder of the contract. The lack of this notice has left me unaware of my rights and protections regarding the enforcement of this loan agreement.

As a result of this violation, I am entitled to statutory damages, which include twice the amount of the finance charge, as stipulated in 15 U.S.C. 1640. Additionally, I seek the return of all payments made under the contract, as the absence of this required notice compromises the validity of the loan. 

The failure to provide this notice is not only a violation of federal and state consumer protection laws but also undermines my rights as a borrower. 

I request that this issue be thoroughly investigated and that appropriate actions be taken to rectify these violations and uphold consumer rights.

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I have identified multiple errors that have adversely affected my credit score. These errors are not a true reflection of my credit history, and I believe they may have resulted from clerical mistakes, identity theft, or outdated information. I am requesting that these inaccuracies be promptly investigated and removed to ensure my credit report accurately reflects my financial responsibility. The incorrect information has caused undue harm to my credit score, which can affect my ability to secure credit and other financial opportunities. I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency it requires and make the necessary corrections.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.
