Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 
So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 


This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: PNC Bank N.A. (OH)

PNC Mortgage / PNC Bank keeps on delaying the process to remove my PMI. According to my mortgage agreement, the PMI on my mortgage should be removed when the LTV ratio is 80-20 and I meet certain other requirements like regular payments etc. I meet all the requirements and have made the required payments on XX/XX/XXXX as reflected in the attached statement. Furthermore, since my mortgage agreement says that the lender may require an appraisal before removing PMI to ensure that the property value hasn't gone down, I asked PNC to clarify if they need an appraisal and if yes then please go ahead with the appraisal.

Now this is where they stated with the delaying tactics. First, they misapplied my payment made on XX/XX/XXXX and put it in some " Other '' category when it should go towards reduction of my principal.

Next, despite my repeated communications to tell them to use the corrected payment information before sending me an answer on the appraisal, they took good 2 weeks and sent me the information with misapplied payment. Note that they did this despite telling me they will start the process to remove the PMI with the correct payment information as shown in the attached email communication. Their letter that I received said that I haven't reached the 80-20 LTV ratio even though I clearly have.

Next, they made me wait before I could send in a new request to remove the PMI while they corrected the misapplied payment. I complied and sent them a new request again onXX/XX/XXXX. They said I will shortly receive the letter with the appraisal order form but I still haven't received anything. It's been about a month since I made the payment that took my LTV below 80 percent and still they haven't provided me a simple Appraisal Order form. They refuse to allow me to get another appraisal myself from a certified appraiser or to directly contact the appraiser that they themselves recommend. All this while I am suppose to keep on paying the PMI. Just providing the customer with an appraisal order form should not take more than a month in XX/XX/XXXX.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC (CA)

Shellpoint Mortgage has been sending me letters for months now, threatening to purchase lender-placed insurance on my condo, but I have my own insurance, which legally prohibits them from doing so. 

They have pretended to provide ways for me to submit my proof of insurance, and I have tried to submit my insurance to them via all these ways. They include : * a login to their website which requires an XXXX  authentication code that never arrives on my phone * an upload URL which claims to " time out '' once I have uploaded the documents * a " fax number '' which I faxed the documents to and of course never received a response * an email address to which I sent the documents to and never received a response Providing broken channels for document submission is a transparently fraudulent attempt to obtain justification to purchase the forced insurance which is presumably a very profitable business line for Shellpoint. 

I respectfully ask the CFPB to make Shellpoint Mortgage desist from this time-wasting and predatory form of financial fraud. Not all borrowers will be as clear about their rights as I am, and may end up falling victim to the scam and being XXXX XXXX XXXX  poorer per year as a result.
