Company: Stearns Ventures, LLC (CA)

Upon purchasing my home, I set up an escrow account to handle the taxes and insurance. Based on previous tax information available to me and the Stearns Lending, I was able to tell they were not taking out enough money to cover the taxes. I phoned them about the issue and they assured me they were taking out enough but they would reassess within 90 days. At 90 days I called back still sure they were n't withdrawing enough money and was again assured they were. I specifically stated my concern that I would recieve a large bill if they did n't take out enough and they assured me they were. A few months later, after a disbursement, they even reduced the payment by a small amount. This month I received XXXX tax bill or a {$1500.00} increase on my monthly payment because for the past 15 months, they have n't taken enough out.

Company: Onity Group Inc. (NY)

I am filing this complaint on behalf of my client XXXX XXXX XXXX. On or around XXXX XXXX, 2013, I paid {$610000.00} to satisfy my client 's loan in a short sale. The funds were sent to Ocwen via a wire transfer on the same day. To date a mortgage satisfaction has not been recorded against the property and Ocwen continues to report the loan as being late. New York law requires that a satisfaction be submitted for recording within 30 days of the receipt of the payment. 

Upon discovering that this mortgage remained open, I contacted Ocwen. I spoke with a XXXX who advised that the satisfaction was sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX Florida for recording. Upon expressing my dismay upon learning that the document for a New York property was incorrectly sent to a Florida XXXX, I was transferred to XXXX ( id number XXXX ) who stated that he was an escalation manager. XXXX then proceeded to tell me that the document was indeed sent to the correct XXXX in New York for recording. 

Upon hearing this I requested a copy of the document and was told that it would take 24-48 business hours to send me a copy of the Satisfaction via email. This has not been the first time that Ocwen has failed to properly record and to properly report on a borrowers credit report. 

My client has been irreparable damaged as a result of their sloppy business practices.

Company: RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC (GA)

I am filing a complaint against Roundpoint Mortgage Servicing Corporation regarding their handling of my transfer of my mortgage in the final stage of the modification process. I filed for loan modification in mid XX/XX/XXXX. Over the course of the next year I submitted documents as requested by XXXX and in XXXX of XX/XX/XXXX my modification was approved and I was asked to make XXXX trial payments due in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX & XXXX. I made the payments & called them back in XXXX & was told that suntrust would send me the documents to make them loan mod permanent. I received the final loan mod docs & signed, notarized witnesses copies were delivered to them on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX my loan was transferred to Roundpoint Mortgage Servicing Coprporation. I contacted them on XX/XX/XXXX just to let them know about the loan modification. Roundpoint asked me to email them a copy of the loan mod docs to speed up getting the information put into their system. Since that date, Roundpoint has asked me to send the documents to them XXXX more times and they have done nothing to update my account accordingly. I contacted XXXX multiple times between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to have the executed loan mod docs sent to Roundpoint and they were never sent. I filed a CFPB complaint against XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and through their investigation, they found my signed final mod docs and they have now said that they executed the documents and they are sending them to Roundpoint so that Roundpoint can update their system with the new terms. I spoke with Roundpoint and they said that they would have to have the documents reviewed again by XXXX in order to finalize the loan modification!!! The loan was already modified by suntrust and Roundpoint needs to accept the new term and update their system. Also, Roundpoint has lost or misapplied my XXXX payment. I am also being told by Roundpoint to continue making trial payments even though my trial period ended in XXXX!!! Also, Roundpoint is charging me a {$15.00} inspection fee because they show my account as past due because they are not applying my payments properly! I need for Roundpoint to update their system as soon as possible so that I can have my payments applied properly.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC (AZ)

My mortgage was sold to Greentree in XX/XX/XXXX. They informed me in XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX that my escrow account has a " shortage '' of {$480.00}, and they will deduct an additional {$40.00} each month for 12 months beginning in XX/XX/XXXX to make up this shortage. I have paid all mortgage payments on time and in full. My taxes have decreased and while I changed my homeowner 's insurance company, there was no significant change in my premium. I have called Greentree multiple times and mailed them a letter ( certified mail, they received it XX/XX/XXXX ) asking them to tell me specifically WHEN my escrow account went into a shortage and HOW much. They have sent me XXXX letters ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ), none of which answer the question of WHEN my escrow account went into shortage and HOW much. The XXXX letters from XXXX tell me they are still reviewing my request. I told them I spent five years in the mortgage business so I know how an escrow account works ( you put money in each month, they pay your property taxes and insurance - simple ). 
I object to Greentree telling me I owe {$480.00} without them being able to tell me how and when my escrow account went into a " shortage ''. All my payments were made in full and on time, so all my contributions to escrow are the correct amount and current. My escrow deductions for taxes and property insurance have decreased or stayed approximately the same. It is not mathematically possible for me to be in a " shortage '' in my escrow account. 
I view this charge of {$480.00} as an unjustified fee which Greentree can not show I am contractually obligated to pay. They have failed, repeatedly, to prove that I owe this money. Now they are taking this money each month from my bank account without my permission ( I told them verbally and in writing that I do not consent to having this money deducted from my bank account and that I do not owe this debt ). 
Finally - all payments were made on time and in full. My account is and has always been current.

Issue: Communication tactics — Threatened to take legal action
Company: NCB Management Services Inc. (NJ)

I have received multiple calls from an agency claiming to be a debt collector. I do believe they could be but have yet to have them identify themselves in any way other than over the phone. They seem to have my name and now *definitely* have my address and month and day of birth. All I have is a phone name, phone number, address and repeated requests for my banking information. I also have him accusing me of not being willing to work with him to resolve this debt. I tried several times to get him to understand that I would not be giving him any banking information over the phone and he jumped right to me refusing to work with him. I think he finally understood that I was going to set up an automatic payment to his company via my bank. I did ask him to prove to me that he was indeed who he said he was and that he was with a legitimate debt collection outfit. He offered me a phone number to XXXX XXXX XXXX instead. At some point I told him that I was aware of the Fair Debt Collection Act and that he should read it. He also insinuated legal action in an earlier call this morning as well as after I told him I would not be setting up an automatic withdrawal through his outfit. I told him again to send whatever information he wished to me via XXXX again. He then insinuated legal action by saying that if the XXXX of every month was good for me he needed to give me an extension to avoid legal action. After more of this, I told him things were getting weird and that we were done speaking. 

I get that I owe money. I, like so many other Americans, have fallen on some really XXXX hard times. I am proud to say that I have not had to resort to going back on XXXX AND that I have a freaking job FINALLY ( XXXX! ). I am a single, now-working-dad living at home with his XXXX year old Mom. All this after a crazy-making contentious divorce. I am trying to get my life together and having additional and unnecessary drama created in so doing ai n't helping me OR untold numbers of Americans. I honestly hesitate to even file a complaint because I am and have been quite discouraged with how much ever day normal people have to contend with from a lack of any protections. I want to do the right thing. I am trying. And I almost fall for what could be a total scam? For the love of giving the people a bit more power than we are lead to believe we have, DO SOMETHING. I am lucky as I have learned through, quite honestly, bad choices, to advocate. And I am trying!!!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NC)

Experian is refusing to investigate an account. They claim the account was verified in XX/XX/XXXX but according to my report, the account did not even begin reporting until XXXX. The dispute is in regards to child support that was reported as late but was not late. Child support enforcement misapplied payments to the wrong account but the account never went to collections like the Experian report claims. Child support enforcement states I must dispute with Experian to get the account corrected since it is a closed account.

The third party collection agency is reporting inaccurate information to each of the credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX & XXXX ). This company has re-aged an account listed to reflect a recent collection of XX/XX/XXXX and continues to report this falsified information even after sending the final statement from XX/XX/XXXX. The original creditor has verified the original date of delinquency XX/XX/XXXX which confirms that the correct information is on file but because the statue of limitations to sue would be expired the company is intentionally re-aging the account. I have disputed this account several times but it keeps being reported. It was originally disputed in XX/XX/XXXX.
