Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (CA)

My wife and I obtained a mortgage from Nationstar Mortgage last year when we purchased our home. Our account was impounded, which means our property taxes and insurance were included in the monthly payment. A few months after we obtained the mortgage, Nationstar sent me a check for approximately {$2500.00}. When I called to inquire about the check, I was told by a representative of Nationstar that it was a refund for a surplus in our escrow account. They also adjusted my monthly payment from approximately {$2400.00} per month to {$2000.00} per month. I told the representative that I believed there was a mistake, because when we obtained the loan we were told by the mortgage banker that the total monthly payment would be approximately {$2400.00} per month, which included taxes and insurance. The Nationstar representative assured me everything was fine, so I continued to pay the monthly amount of {$2000.00} that Nationstar billed me every month. 
This year, our tax preparer noticed that the property taxes we paid in XXXX seemed low, and suggested we look into it, as he believed we were n't paying the correct amount. My wife contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Office, who confirmed that we were delinquent on our property taxes, in the amount of {$6700.00}, which included fees and penalties in the amount of {$630.00}. We never received any statements from XXXX XXXX, who stated that they mailed all the notices to our previous address. However, they did notify Nationstar Mortgage in writing. Nationstar never made the payments, nor did they notify us about the delinquent tax amounts. 
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Nationstar Mortgage paid the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 's Office the total balance due of {$6700.00}, including the fees and penalties. They in turn, will pass those fees and penalties on to us. Our complaint is, if Nationstar made the mistake of not collecting and paying the correct property tax amount, and they were notified by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Office, why should we be responsible for the fees and penalties? 
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, we contacted Nationstar Mortgage and spoke with a representative XXXX XXXX XXXX and his supervisor ( XXXX XXXX, from the Escrow Account Department. We explained the situation, and the mistakes Nationstar Mortgage made, and explained that we did not believe it was our responsibility to pay those fees and penalties. The supervisor disagreed, and said he could not help us. 
Therefore, we are hoping your agency can help us, as we feel we are wrongfully being penalized for mistakes that our mortgage lender made. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I have contacted Wells Fargo Bank about the Mortgage Wrongful Foreclosure CFPB has order to pay for their improper denial of mortgage loan modification they did in the past. 

I am submitting this complaint, because I have contact them many times to inquire in reference to the amount they should pay me under the order of CFPB, they only took my name and cell phone number, and have decline to let me know when they will process my refund, and have not contacted me at all. 

I tried for almost 2 years to request a mortgage loan modification, and I ended hiring an office to help me take care of the modification, but Wells Fargo bank did not help in any way. They sold the property, when they even agreed that they would help.

I want to request the aid of CFPB to have the Wells Fargo Bank issue a check to pay me off for the improperly denied mortgage loan modification, ilegal foreclosure and sale in a public auction on XX/XX/2018.

I suffered a hardship in XXXX of XXXX. My father passed away, I paid for the funeral and then shortly after I lost the tenant in my apartment. I kept the mortgage company Nationstar aware of what had happened and asked for some understanding. The mortgage was not paid XXXX, XXXX & XXXX of XXXX. In XXXX XXXX I got a new tenant. I immediately sent a payment for XXXX & XXXX and advised them that starting XXXX XXXX I will send the regular payment & and additional {$500.00} a month until the 3 months I originally missed were paid for. Nationstar sent both payments back to me. They said either give them the entire 5 months plus late fees, attorney fees etc or they are starting foreclosure. They said my only option was a loan modification. I asked " what if I am not approved '' the loan specialist on their recorded line said " you will be approved for something I just do n't know what ''. So here we are 11 months later with a tacked on {$5000.00} in attorney fees, I am denied with no other option but to try and borrow {$16000.00} to make this loan current. The denial was because it 's not my primary residence & they will not accept all my income. Even though they asked me to send in my contributor package twice with my husbands income. They denied my application after 11 months stating that the only income they will accept to show all my expenses is the rental income. The big issue here is that they knew from the very beginning that this was a rented property but racked up {$5000.00} in attorney fees and late fees dragging me along when there was absolutely no way I was getting approved for a loan modification. So now my attorney fees, late fees etc. cost more than the original three months I was behind. It would have taken me 6 months to bring the mortgage current yet they intentionally strung me along so they could rack up as much money as possible leaving me no other option. The worst part is that everything else, taxes, 2nd mortgage and HOA fees are all current. The 2nd mortgage company XXXX took the 3 months missed and put it to the back of the loan, they immediately worked with me due to me never missing or sending a late payment in the last 10 years that I have had this mortgage.

This is a matter of a mortgage company failing to perform due diligence. 
Upon receiving my monthly bill from XXXX Gas Company. There was the following notation : '' This Is Your Final Bill. '' I contacted XXXX Gas ; who informed me that Nationstar Mortgage Company requested the gas service to be discontinued! 
I do not have a mortgage with this company ; and I was quite upset with the XXXX Gas for honoring such a request without obtaining any type of verification. After doing some investigating on my own-based on my knowledge of my neighborhood ; I discovered that Nationstar Mortgage Company had foreclosed on a home that had a similar address- except it was Place rather than Street. I immediately contacted Nationstar Mortgage Company. I was instructed to send written notice to their research department- informing them of the obvious error. I sent a letter to their offices located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Texas. So far, I have not received a reply from Nationstar. 
I was required to obtain a new account number from XXXX Gas Company. i was angry with XXXX Gas due to the fact that they require individual account holders to verify their identity prior to allowing access to an account. Apparently, this process is waived for mortgage companies! 
Today, I found that Nationstar has done nothing to correct their records ; when XXXX men came to my home to take pictures of the " foreclosed house! '' I directed the men to the correct address. So far, they have not returned to my home. 
I am at a lost as to what I should do to protect myself! 
I am afraid that Nationstar will attempt to evict me from my home! 
I have attempted to contact Nationstar by telephone. None of their employees seem to know where to transfer my call, or provide me with any helpful information! 
This company should not have the ability to discontinue a utility without providing the necessary verification of ownership/ right to do so! Additionally, Nationstar Mortgage appears to have a very lax method of conducting business.
