Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (CA)

In XXXX 2016, XXXX sold my mortgage to Nationstar Mortgage. In addition to the normal mortgage, I had an obligation to pay {$390.00} for the cost of an interim property insurance policy, which debt was assigned to an escrow account. In XXXX 2016, I sent an additional {$500.00} payment to Nationstar to cover the {$390.00} escrow debt, with the expectation that the excess would be applied to my mortgage. However, Nationstar applied the {$500.00} incorrectly to my loan principle, leaving the {$390.00} escrow debt ( for the insurance policy ) unpaid. When the next regular payment cycle started, my " amount due '' showed as {$390.00} greater than it should be. 
I 've tried, on XXXX separate occasions, to work with Nationstar to get the problem corrected, and they always assure me they 've fixed the problem, but every month, the situation is exactly the same. They seem to be incapable of correcting this error, nor will they refund me the misapplied {$500.00}. If I call them again, they 'll just do the same thing they have the past three times, whatever that may be, and nothing will be fixed. I have never missed a full payment. The only deviation was when I sent an additional payment to close out the escrow debt, and now I can not get them to correct their mistake. I need some help with this. Thanks.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: DISCOVER BANK (MI)

I moved to DC for work for the better part of a year and foolishly neglected to cancel a subscription to a wine club, which charged me {$34.00} per month for XXXX bottles of wine, that I usually picked up in person from the retail location. Since it is in a suburb in which I don't live, I usually didn't go every month anyway, and they were OK with that, generally -- me picking up XXXX months at a time instead of every month. 

The store has now closed, however, even though they continue to send me e-mails ( as recently as 12 days ago ). I have tried repeatedly -- over the past XXXX years, probably a couple dozen times- to get in touch with the company, ranging from calling multiple listed phone numbers, to e-mail, to going to the physical location, to asking my friends and my wife to call them. For awhile, they were picking up the phone and saying they were open when they weren't. This ultimately wouldn't have been the end of the world, but I lost my job in the spring and was denied unemployment, so I am trying to cut back on spending on stuff like this. Especially when I don't even get the product I pay for. 

Of course, I requested that Discover Card dispute ALL of the transactions from the past 24 months, which they did, since I haven't picked up wine from them since early 2021. But they eventually found in favor of the merchant, because they said the merchant never responded to the claim, and that I had " failed to provide additional documentation. '' I never signed a contract or anything for this service, so the additional documentation that I would be required to provide is an insane notion. I have no clue what kind of documentation they'd want me to provide. If the merchant never responded, Discover 's position is that it's my word against their lack of a word, which suggests a unilateral siding with a party that appears to have reneged on a contractual agreement to provide a thing to me that they have failed to provide. This amounts to {$830.00} plus interest that I will NEVER see again. 

I have been robbed, and this company continues to enrich itself and its shareholders at the expense of my broke XXXX that can not afford groceries. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Since there have been multiple violations of the necessary reporting requirements, my report 's data is not reliable and full. Having stated that, I reject your accusations and challenge you to show me your justification for including this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity.

Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate.

C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards.

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports.

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards.

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB XXXX FTC and my Attorney General.
