Consumer complaint received 2017-11-27
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (CA)

We were approached by Nationstar Mortgage to refinance our loans to one loan. We were also given a rate and payment amount at that time. We obtained a payoff quote in order to pay off the 2nd loan. We signed the paperwork without an understanding that the lender did not pay off the 2nd. Our payment essentially is the same. However, we had 20 years of payments left. We now have 30 years of payments left on a loan at a higher interest rate than we were told. We will end up paying MORE over the life of the loan than we would have if we had not refinanced. We will pay 10 more years of payments and because the 2nd loan was not paid we also incurred a 30-day late on our credit report, jeopardizing the possibility of purchasing our next home. We lost out on a home that we wanted to live in as our credit scores were too low to obtain a mortgage. We are also paying more money than we would 've paid and we still have a 1st and 2nd mortgage. There was no Net Tangible Benefit in obtaining the loan. The servicer sold the loan and gained the only benefit. We not only suffered the loss of a primary residence ( the refi was an income property we purchased as an asset for our children to have one day and we intended to take money out to help with a down payment on our primary residence ), we also have suffered financially. We could not get the house we wanted because of the credit damage and the inability to get equity from the income property. And we are going to be paying the 1st mortgage a decade longer with no real benefit but rather a loss overall.

On XX/XX/2023, XXXX XXXX XXXX put my XXXX XXXX account into collections. They put it into collections because XXXX XXXX was in a company corporate name that wasn't personally guaranteed. This account never belonged on my credit in the first place. They took my consumer information and placed it on my credit report and that's not what should have happened. 

16 CFR 313.7 15 usc 6802 Per the FCRA as a federally protected consumer I am now opting out of any and all authorizations I the consumer may have given you written, unwritten, verbally and non verbally per 15 USC 6802 it is effective immediately and indefinitely. 

Since the debt is now with a third-party collection agency, it has already been charged off. As outlined in Tax Topic 431, this represents a certificate of indebtedness, which is categorized as income. It's important to note that income is not reportable on my credit report. 

" If your debt is forgiven or discharged for less than the full amount owed, the debt is considered canceled for the forgiven or discharged amount that you no longer need to pay. Cancellation of a debt may occur if the creditor can't collect, or gives up on collecting, the amount you're obligated to pay. If you own property securing a debt, cancellation of the debt may occur due to foreclosure, repossession, voluntary transfer of the property to the lender, abandonment of the property, or a mortgage modification.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I am writing to express my extreme disappointment and frustration regarding the lack of response from XXXX, XXXX, and Experian regarding the disputes I submitted to rectify inaccurate information on my credit report. 

I meticulously outlined the discrepancies, providing a comprehensive list of accounts and highlighting the blatant violations perpetrated against my consumer report. Despite my efforts, it has been well over 60 days, and there has been no acknowledgment or resolution from your end. 

I have attached copies of all the dispute letters I sent for your reference. 

It is disheartening to point out that your company is in direct violation of FCRA 623 ( a ) ( b ) by neglecting to mark the disputed account as such. The mandated 605 ( c ) running period has also been infringed, as the date of the last activity on this account is inaccurately reported instead of reflecting the last payment date.

Furthermore, your consistent failure to validate this collection account is a clear violation of FDCPA 809 ( b ), as per the FTC 's opinion on the matter.

I find it imperative that you address these issues promptly and rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report. Failure to do so will leave me with no option but to escalate this matter further through legal avenues available to me. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and a swift resolution.

When a credit account is closed, particularly if it has been charged off, the reporting of the account to credit bureaus should reflect the account 's final status. A " charge-off '' occurs when a creditor determines that a debt is unlikely to be collected and writes it off as a loss. However, this does not absolve the borrower of the responsibility to repay the debt. 
Once an account is closed and charged off, the following should be considered : 1. Final Status Reporting : The account should be reported with its final status, such as " Closed, '' " Charged Off, '' " Settled, '' or " Paid in Full. '' The status should not continue to change or be updated as if the account were still active. 
2. No Continuous Reporting of Charge-Off : The account should not continue to be reported as an active charge-off after it has been closed. The charge-off is a one-time event that should be reported accurately in the month it occurred, and subsequent reports should not list it as a current charge-off event. The balance may remain, reflecting the amount owed, but the status should remain static as " Charged Off. '' 3. Impact on Credit Report : The charge-off will remain on the credit report for up to seven years from the date of the first delinquency leading to the charge-off. However, the continuous reporting of an account as " charged off '' every month after it has been closed can potentially mislead about the account 's status and timing, impacting the consumer 's credit score more negatively than it should. 



QUALITY ACCEPTANCE LLC it continuing to reporting as late payment are current this account has been closed for years and its ding my credit every month is reporting the saying but with a discrepancy the balance of the account close should say XXXX due to the fact that the creditor written off the amount of XXXX off the original balance of XXXX
