Company: FIRSTBANK PUERTO RICO (PR)

On XX/XX/XXXX I sent the Loss Mitigation Application to the bank attorney and the Loss Mitigation Department representative XXXX XXXX by email. 

On XX/XX/XXXX the bank attorney told me that the coborrower signature is needed. 
The Loss Mitigation Department Representative told me that the information of the coborrower is needed to evaluate the application. 

On XX/XX/XXXX the representative told me that the coborrower also has to accept the agreement. 

Since XXXX we are divorced. 
Since XXXX on the XXXX XXXX page XXXX the coborrower signature is not needed if is divorced. 

Also on XXXX : Many FHA-insured borrowers have faced significant obstacles to obtaining a mortgage loan modification, where their loan involves a co-borrower and the co-borrower is unavailable. Mortgage servicers have generally allowed a mortgage modification only where the absent co-borrowers execute the loan modification agreement. But that may, as a practical matter, be impossible because death, divorce, separation, domestic violence or other significant life events involving the co-borrower. A XX/XX/XXXX update to HUDs Single Family Housing Policy Handbook, 4000.1 ( XX/XX/XXXX ), effective XX/XX/XXXX, clarifies that FHA does not require unavailable co-borrowers to execute FHA mortgage loan modification agreements. This is an important policy clarification that should help borrowers more easily access alternatives to foreclosure.

My account with ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, ) was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX 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 ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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, ) 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!

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (GA)

RE : MR. COOPER. We are a settlement agent. We submit escrow checks XXXX times a day for loan payoffs. Of Course, many of these payoffs are to Mr. Cooper, a large loan servicer. There must become a better way for Settlement Agents to obtain Accurate Payoff Statements. While Mr. Cooper makes errors, we have experienced XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX also make these same errors. ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX are likely the worst offenders at not providing payoff statements promptly to consumers, with XXXX XXXXXXXX being the absolute worst and should absolutely be put under the microscope of CFPB for their operations. 

Mr. Cooper called Our law firm ( who issued the check ) regarding the payoff shortage since Mr. Cooper 's payoff statement was inaccurate based off a disbursement from the Escrow Account While this issue of short payoffs ( related to disbursements around the settlement date creating a negative escrow account and thus an increased payoff ) happens from time to time, Mr. Cooper representative ( presumably the representative in possession of the payoff check ) would call our law firm, and even gave the short payoff amount over Voicemail. The representative would then leave their customer service XXXX number, and the law firm had no way to contact her directly and phone is answered by a computer. When we reached someone, after hours on hold and getting to the correct dept., the representative WOULD NOT provide the payoff shortage amount over the phone even though another representative left the shortage amount ON A VOICEMAIL. The Mr. Cooper representatives ( two were on the line ) then HUNG UP on me, all while we were simply trying to confirm the payoff shortage amount and wire instructions so that the loan would be paid in full and thus their LIEN would be released. There MUST be changes with loan servicing companies so that Settlement Agents can do their jobs. The loan servicing companies ' operations are horrible and must be improved for the sake of the economy at large and protection of consumers in buying and selling houses or refinancing.
