Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (NJ)

My Mortgage was recently transferred from   XXXX   XXXX   to  XXXX   XXXX  Mortgage. I was told that starting  XXXX   XXXX  I was to set up an account to have my  XXXX  payments deducted.  XXXX  was no longer managing payments. I c alled Nation Star and  they said a packet would be sent by  XXXX . If I did not receive it by that time to call. I did not receive it by  XXXX  and I called in. The rep gave me my new loan #. I set up an account on  XXXX  my money was taken out. Then on  XXXX  another payment was taken out.   On  XXXX   XXXX , I called to find out wh y two pay ments were taken out the representative (  XXXX   XXXX   ) w ho gave me her phone number  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX , told me that  XXXX   may  have taken it out as well. I confirmed that my account with  XXXX  was closed. The representative and I placed a conference call with  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX    XXXX     ( Spo ke with  XXXX ,  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   Representative  ). He confi rmed all my payments were made until  XXXX . They did not take out  XXXX . I was issued a credit to my account. I went online to check the next day and there was a pending payment for  XXXX  still in my account. On  XXXX   XXXX ,  Nation Star too k out the amount again. I placed another call  to Nation Star about this and was told after 45 minutes that a manager named was informed and I would have the money refunded within 48 hours. That has not happened. Also, every representative I spoke with at Nation Star gave me their phone numbers but stated they usually can n ot be reached on these numbers. I tried to reach  XXXX  and phone rang o ver ten times. I trie d her phone number many times throughout the week and the phone just rang. I do not understand why no one can direct me to a phone number where calls can be returned. I find this highly unprofessional. Also anytime I asked a representative why this was happening with the payments they could not tell me. They also were unaware of the transfer issues. It seems that no training has happened to assist your representatives on how to handle these situations, which I find very disheartening. I do not have the time to spend on the phone at work or to have double payments taken out.

However they recently allowed for the company to put the credit report back on my account.

Issue: Struggling to pay your bill — Filed for bankruptcy
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

This is absolutely absurd! I am writing this in response to my initial complaint against Equifax from claim # XXXX. My original complaint was that Equifax did not process my letter that was sent to them on XX/XX/23, only for them to respond to my complaint by requesting me to send them another letter?! How does that make any kind of sense? I have already complied with the information that they requested of me by submitting a letter along with my driver 's license, social security number, current address, and my full name ( which I feel uncomfortable putting out into the public space in the first place ). My complaint was that they are giving me the run around with processing my documents showing that several accounts were included in my bankruptcy in order to update my credit report ... and now they are wanting me to send them ANOTHER LETTER? This is ludicrous. I have been requesting them to update my file for months now. Seems like they are mocking me, as well as the governing entity that is responsible for keeping them accountable, by not taking this complaint seriously. I am prepared to file a lawsuit against Equifax if this matter is not handled properly. All I am asking for is to update my report accurately, in the manner that Equifax claims is their first priority. I am extremely upset by this and I am ready to escalate this matter legally.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (WI)

We have had nothing but problems with Nationstar Mortgage. They have inappropriately initiated foreclosure on our property twice, are never reachable by telephone nor do they return calls, e-mails or messages sent via their website. Payments were refused and returned to my bank by Nationstar Mortgage despite the fact that our modification paperwork had been approved, then we are told that something was missing and it is denied without notification to us. It took me filing a complaint with the BBB to get a phone call ( just before the BBB deadline to reply ). The person I spoke with said our modification documents did not have the notary seal on th em ... Yes, they sure did. Said the y would have our documents pulled and review to see if the seal was on them and call me back. Took me several more phone calls and messages over several weeks to get a response and finally I received a voice mail that the documents were pulled and that they did indeed locate the notary seal and that they would see what they could do to " push '' the modification through. I received a call stating  that 4100+ ( n ot the exact amount ) was required to bring us current through  XXXX  and they could then book the modification. I sent in  XXXX  and it appears the payments were all posted as separate monthly mortgage payments made on the same date in  XXXX    XXXX   so it does lead me to believe that th ey may finally  be getting our mortgage modification booked as they said they would. I do not believe we should be responsible for the interest that could have been saved had our payments posted and not been returned/refuse d by Nationstar when  we made them in  XXXX ,  XXXX  and  XXXX    XXXX  . They have also tacked on legal fees that should not be our responsibility. I am a nurse and am a pretty understanding person. I am not a sue happy person, however this company is really doing society wrong. If I could afford a lawyer, I am 99 % confident that I would own my home without any further mortgage payments ... in fact Nationstar would probably end up owing me ( along with many other customers they have ).   Today when I logged on to Nationstar 's website, I noticed that a sample statement which is supposed to explain to customers how to read their statement has an actual property address listed. When I looked up the property address via google, it is currently for sale and given the list price, the payment amounts on Nationstar 's " sample '' statement could certainly be realistic. Given all of the errors Nationstar has made with our account and apparently many other customers based on BBB reviews and google searches, I truly have to believe that this " sample may really contain actual payment/late payment information about the actual property address listed below the amount due.

15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. Experian and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.
