Company: Thaxton Investment Corporation (FL)

After a car accident due to the car hydroplaning in late XX/XX/2020. I spoke to XXXX and let her know i was coming to get my things out of the car. They were in such a rush to sell they got rid of the car before i could get my things when i areived they were remorseful and told me there is normally a cost of {$500.00} after a total loss but they would waive it because they got rid of the car with high value items inside. After complaining to them about my irreplaceable items they were upset and when i left they decided to put that charge as well as other chafges on my credit eventhough i do not owe a single dollar. I had gap insurance through that company who i bought the car through them. l can provide proof that this has affected my credit and my ability to get future loans and I have been dealing with homelessness due to this hardship. I reached out to this company and they werent empathetic.

I am willing to cooperate fully and provide any additional information required to resolve this issue promptly. I expect a written response from your agency within 30 days of receiving this letter, as required by the FCRA, confirming the removal of the fraudulent items from my credit report. 

Failure to address this issue in a timely and satisfactory manner will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal remedies available to me under the FCRA and other applicable laws.

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am writing to address significant concerns regarding billing errors on my accounts as per the United States Code, specifically TILA ( 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ).

Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified multiple billing errors falling under the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) specifically, ( 4 ) the creditors failure to reflect properly on a statement a payment made by the obligor, or a credit issued to the obligor; and ( 5 ) a computation error or similar error of an accounting nature of the creditor on a statement.

I am particularly disturbed to find discrepancies related to the notification period for statements. According to my understanding of the law, a creditor is required to notify me at least 21 days ( approximately XXXX weeks ) before a statement is due. This notification failure has led to unwarranted late payments on the mentioned accounts. I hereby request solid proof from your records that substantiates these alleged late payments. 

The following accounts have been adversely affected, and I insist on their immediate correction in my consumer report to reflect the accurate status as " paid as agreed '' : XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX Late Payment Dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ProgressXXXX Account number : XXXX Late Payment Dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Late Payment Dates : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX Late Payment Dates : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Late Payment Dates : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX Late Payment Dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX According to consumer protection laws, these accounts must be promptly updated or deleted from my report. Failure to do so will compel me to seek monetary compensation for the violation of my rights in small claims court under 15 USC 1681n civil liability.

Additionally, please be advised that a formal complaint has been submitted to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, State Attorney Generals Office, XXXX XXXX XXXX and Federal Trade Commission. I trust that your prompt attention to this matter will help resolve these issues amicably.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: RUSHMORE LOAN MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC (CA)

To Whom It May Concern, I have attempted to qualify for a loan modification the past several weeks with Rushmore Loan Management, the company that services my existing mortgage. After a notice of default was filed in XXXX of this year, I was assured by a Rushmore representative that I was an excellent candidate for a loan modification based on the fact that the my property is a rental and I had verified rental income to make the mortgage payments. I initially fell behind on the payments last year, because the previous tenant had stopped making rental payments due to Coved 19. I was also told by the Rushmore representative to make sure that I supplied all the requested documents to Rushmore so that I could be considered and then qualify for the loan modification. And thats exactly what I have done so far. Rushmore has requested documents and letters from me on two separate occasions, around 15 pieces of information so far, and I have complied with their requests each time and have sent every document that they have requested. 

Thinking I was still being considered for a loan modification, I didnt worry about a notice of sale being filed against my house. But shockingly, Rushmore just filed an NOS. It was filed on XXXX and I just received written mail notification on XXXX. The sale date has been set for XXXX. 

I believe Rushmore has broken a number of laws, both federal and state, concerning the foreclosure process that is currently being carried out against me. And they must be held accountable for their actions. They have violated existing laws currently in place to protect homeowners such as myself, such as dual tracking, no single point of contact and no written communication notifying me that I was turned down for a loan modification, to name just a few of the laws Rushmore has broken in this process. And importantly, if I have been turned down for a loan modification, by law, Rushmore is supposed to allow me an opportunity to appeal the loan modification refusal decision and also present me with other viable options to work out some sort of agreement concerning my loan with them. 

I am asking the CFPB to take prompt action concerning this very important matter because Rushmore is attempting to sell my house in just three weeks from now. And again, they have violated numerous laws designed to protect homeowners such as myself during the foreclosure process. Thank you very much for your prompt consideration and action on this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: MidAmerica Mortgage Inc (TX)

In XXXX, my wife and I went through a messy separation and we split so I vacated the home and she stayed. She did not make any payments on the loan allowing it to go further and further into default. Due to domestic issues, I was not able to move back into the home to reinstate the loan or complete a loan modification. My wife vacated the home last year, leaving it to foreclose and I have been trying to rectify the default since. I have submitted a complete short sale packet, all documents required of me have been sent to the mortgage servicer. They agreed to postpone a foreclosure that was previously scheduled since I submitted documents but they still have the short sale under review and they still have an auction date for XX/XX/XXXX scheduled which is unfair to me since I did everything that was needed. They have deemed the short sale packet completed so all that is needed is additional time to be able to close out the sale. I am still suffering financially due to my separation and desperately want to avoid a foreclosure that will only put me further in the hole. Please assist me with getting in contact with my servicer to help me get this auction stopped.
