Consumer complaint received 2024-11-01
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: LAKE MICHIGAN CREDIT UNION (MI)

Lake Michigan Credit Union ( LMCU ) incorrectly claimed that their Actual payment from escrow disbursement in XX/XX/XXXX was equal to their Projected payment from escrow disbursement in XX/XX/XXXX. 
LMCU then used this incorrectly documented Actual disbursement in projecting my XXXX escrow payments, as well as in calculating whether a surplus check needed to be issued at the end of XXXX. Had LMCU used the correct Actual payment in XX/XX/XXXX, LMCU would have made the correct XXXX projected payments, and realized that a surplus check should not have been issued in XXXX. The starting balance of my escrow account in XXXX was negative immediately after issuing a surplus check. Had they not issued the surplus check, the starting balance would have been positive. A simple audit would have revealed that something was wrong here, but they took no action and the incorrectly reduced escrow payments in XXXX amplified the problem that would arise in XXXX. 
I shared documentation with LMCU of my property tax history as well as LMCU 's own annual escrow account disclosure statement, which confirmed their mistake. Their initial response was dismissive, so I provided an extremely detailed explanation of the where their mistake was made and how it had a cascading effect on subsequent escrow payments. They have not yet responded to my follow-up. 
These compounding mistakes have led to LMCU issuing an escrow shortage payment of over {$500.00} per month through XXXX ( for a total of over {$6000.00} on the year ), above and beyond the regularly scheduled escrow payments. My property taxes only increased by {$3000.00} from XXXX to XXXX, and LMCU is projecting XXXX increase from XXXX to XXXX. It is their mistake that is leaving me with a significantly elevated tax burden to cover in XXXX year. They should not be dictating the terms on which I am required to fix their mistake. I am not arguing that I need to pay my property taxes ; I agree that I do. I am arguing that their mistake created an unnecessary financial burden on me in XXXX, and that the shortage payment should not be required to be paid back in full in XXXX year. LMCU should significantly extend the time frame over which the shortage payment is scheduled to be paid back, since it was their mistake that caused the need for a shortage payment in the first place.

I trusted that LMCU knew what they were doing in handling my escrow account, but I no longer trust them to make the correct projections so I will be auditing their disclosure statements myself going forward to ensure this mistake does not happen again. 
I am filing this complaint because this responsibility should not fall to the consumer, and I am deeply concerned that LMCU may be placing easily avoidable financial strain on their other customers who may not understand that LMCU is making this mistake.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

My account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 XXXX AND XXXX 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. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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

I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate late payment information reported on my credit report for the account number XXXX, associated with a revolving credit account opened on XX/XX/XXXX. I am exercising my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Metro 2 standards to challenge the incorrect 30-day late payment reported for XXXX XXXXYour records reflect a 30-day late payment for XX/XX/XXXX. This is blatantly inaccurate, and I demand immediate correction. I have never made a late payment on this account. My payment history is fully compliant, and I can provide documentation to substantiate that payments have been made on time every month.Equifaxs failure to ensure accurate reporting violates the FCRA, specifically 1681i, which mandates thorough and timely reinvestigation of disputed information. Additionally, the erroneous reporting violates the Metro 2 compliance guidelines, which require credit reporting agencies to ensure data integrity. The continued reporting of this inaccuracy is causing significant and unwarranted harm to my credit profile and financial reputation. Also I've provided the receipt of payment that's showing late. I called the bank rep and they confirmed the payment and they stated that they made an error reporting it late but they can't reverse the error.

I discovered that I was a victim of identity theft a few months ago. Apparently my card was swiped at a gas station and someone got a hold of my identity and started using it to open accounts. I didn't even realize it because I wasn't really using my credit for anything at the time. Until I went to have my mortgage refinanced and my lender told me I couldn't do it because of my score. I had XXXX scores before, so when my lender told me I was a XXXX something I knew something was off. After reviewing the details, I sent in paperwork and a police report to the creditors and the credit bureaus already but I haven't seen any changes to my reports. I even had one of the fraudulent creditors try to take me to court. So I am submitting a request into you guys to see if that helps speed up the process as I do need to refinance my home and my car lease expires soon and don't think it's fair for me to be sued for a debt that I did not even open.
