Consumer complaint received 2022-09-05
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Flagstar Bank, N.A. (CA)

Flagstar Bank services our mortgage. Due to various circumstances, including my wife being diagnosed with XXXX during the pandemic, her XXXX classifying her as a high-risk individual, and events involving my job, we were forced to take a mortgage forbearance. 

Flagstar did what it could to ensure we agreed to pay the forbearance amount up front. While we continually insisted that we wanted to place the amount owed at the end of our loan period with an APR of 0 %, applying to that amount as we were legally allowed to do. 

Tactics like offering to refinance our 30-year conventional with a 40-year meant an opportunity for tens of thousands of dollars of extra interest payments over the life of the loan. Flagstar representatives continually called us, demanding we frequently verify that we didnt move out or intend to sell the property. 

Once we could proceed with resuming monthly payments, Flagstar agreed to move the amount of the forbearance to the end of the loan period. We thought we could finally move on without accruing additional interest on that amount. However, things were not that simple. During the forbearance period, Flagstar demanded a payment of {$2800.00}, which we paid out of desperation. 

The transaction history file Ive included indicates the payment of {$2800.00} was applied to the mortgage principal but subsequently reversed, with Flagstar holding {$1600.00} in suspense. Our monthly mortgage payments increased, and its still unclear whether or not Flagstar is still holding {$1600.00} hostage. 

Now XXXX has reduced two of my credit lines as a reaction to Flagstar reporting the mortgage account as being more than 120 days past due. The reported balance is higher than when we initially obtained the mortgage three years ago. 

Upon looking at a breakdown of what is owed on our monthly statement ( the account is paid online where this information is not present ) Flagstar added the amount of the forbearance as a second mortgage, and it appears that they added that amount to the total owed. As of the last reported date of XXXX XXXX XXXX we have no missed payments but have paid off 0 % of our total loan amount. 

At every point, we have seen the ethical shortcomings of the people who pilot Flagstar. even something as simple as removing the PMI on the property due to its appreciation in value was ignored. I need help. My family needs help. Thank you for any you can provide.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (TX)

Hello, I am a very stressed out when dealing with XXXX - XXXX Stores and the account that was formerly XXXX XXXX, who is no longer in business. The issue began in XXXX of this year. I called and asked what the payout would be and sent it by mail for my ailing mother who had been hospitalized for over two months. Her bills where late and we paid with the money she had set aside for bills. I later got a statement for a late fee, unexpectedly and I tried to dispute but nothing was accomplished. The agent said the pay out was a day late in the mail and we owed the forty plus dollars in the late fee. I informed them that I was told that I sent the money to pay out and that everything would be fine. I asked if I can get this resolved and they stated that there was nothing to do other than writing a letter explaining what happened. I did as told in XXXX and in XXXX I received another late fee and no response from the company. I was told by another agent that someone would get back with me that month. It now has been several months later and no one has responded by phone or mail. The late fees and interest has accumulated to {$350.00} dollars and the account has been closed since last year and we have no purchases in over a year. We feel as if this should have been resolved and contacted to put this to an end. We do not feel that this balance is ours and that they are taking advantage of our mother in this situation. She is elderly and still sick at the moment. We would like this to be resolved but we are not getting anywhere with communication with the company.

Company: Commonwealth Financial Systems, Inc. (FL)

This agency started contacting me on XX/XX/2022 and haven't seem to stop calling me. I do not owe a debt! Commonwealth financial is a violation of the law. In code 15 U.S. Code 1602 p ) The term unauthorized use, as used in section 1643 of this title, means a use of a credit card by a person other than the cardholder who does not have actual, implied, or apparent authority for such use and from which the cardholder receives no benefit. 
15 USC 1692b Not state that such consumer owes any debt ; Analysis A debt collector seeking location information must identify themselves by name, but must not identify his employer unless asked. When asked, however, the collector must give the true and full name of the employer to comply with this provision and avoid violating other sections of the FDCPA. An individual debt collector may use an alias if it is used consistently and if it does not interfere with another partys ability to identify him ( e.g., the true identity can be ascertained by the employer ), and the collection laws of his or her state allow the same. 
Telling a third party that you owe a debt is illegal! First, it may not be true thus unjustly damaging your reputation and second, it is simply nobody elses business. 
15 U.S. Code 1692j ( a ) It is unlawful to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that such form would be used to create the false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes such creditor, when in fact such person is not so participating.
