I submitted a complaint with department previously ( Case number : XXXX ). My mortgage company, Nationstar, responded that they " needed more time to respond '' and then CFPB dropped the ball and there is nothing further in the file. The issues have not been resolved. The mortgage company has not granted the promised modification, even after asking me to sign, notarize, resend the documents, and send more payments- all of which I did.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY)

I am formally disputing the inclusion of an account on my personal credit report, as it violates consumer protection laws. 

This is a business account, not personally guaranteed by me, and should not appear on my personal credit report under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681. Only account for which a consumer is personally liable should be reported. Listing this account as a personal obligation is both inaccurate and unlawful under the FCRA and other consumer protection laws.

In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit.

Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC (OR)

I got sick in XX/XX/XXXX. I lost my job. I had XXXX  and was out of work for months. From day one I have been in contact with my mortgage company. updating them monthly on payments or when i can make payments. i ended up being put on a forbearance. this helped me get some payments done. I was still unemployed. i called back to see if there was anything i could do. they told me i could apply for putting the past due payments on the back of the loan when the forbearance was done. i called back and was told the fha loans program had changed and i had to wait 90 days past due to apply for this payment assistance. At this point i was working and i had told them this. i wanted to start making payments but was told i wouldnt be able to get help with the past due if i dont let my account go 90days past due. i was very scared to do this, but did it. im not even to 90 days yet, that will be on XX/XX/XXXX. i called on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with an advisor who took all my info for the form to apply for the assistance for putting payments on the back of the loan. i called on XX/XX/XXXX and was told that i was only able to apply for either the forbearance or the other program i couldnt do both and also 90days will show up on my credit. this is the first time hearing this. i was very upset. i asked to speak with the manager. i explained my situation and he told me i have a job and im unable to apply for ANY kind of assistance. i was very upset and was crying. this was extremely stressful for my situation. i called back and spoke with someone, she made one comment let me fix your notes not sure if she was changing my notes. then told me whatever the manager told you, is what you have to do. i asked again what were my options to get my account current and she said my ONLY option was to pay my mortgage. she told me personally if it was me i would be getting a loan or selling stuff, anything to pay my mortgage. she told me at the current date there was nothing i could do. i said at what date can i get assistance and she would not tell me. at this point i have talked to multiple people everyone says different things. this is going to effect my whole family and my health. i was told by this company to stop making my payments to be able to apply for help. this is not right! i have contacted an attorney for legal help because this is my first time owning a home, i dont want to lose my home. i thought by keeping in contact and explaining my situation that wouldnt happen. i dont trust them. i feel like im being punched. i also have names of the people i spoke with as well as the manager.

I am tired of sending dispute letters to the Credit Bureaus requesting that they correct these erroenous accounts being reported on my Credit File because the Credit Bureaus have been doing nothing! This complaint is to follow up my previous complaints and letters I submitted on XX/XX/2022 and to inform them that I am halfway of taking legal action and sue the Credit Bureaus for their willful non-compliance of the FCRA statute.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (AZ)

Dear CFPB ; I was a Wells Fargo Mortgage customer. After Wells Fargo received over {$1.00} XXXX of taxpayer funds for delivering mortgage modifications, I requested that my mortgage be modified. 

Wells Fargo dragged my {$320000.00} mortgage modification request out for over a year, while continuously demanding that I pay my interest-only mortgage on the property. The company kept requesting more information and kept telling me that my request was " in evaluation ''. Wells Fargo never evaluated my request. 

Wells Fargo foreclosed on my property. I lost my {$120000.00} down payment, and the property. This was my entire life-saving. 

If Wells Fargo would have modified my mortgage as promised, today my property would be back to its original value.

The presence of a derogatory rating on my account is deeply concerning to me. I am worried about the impact it may have on my credit, as it has already resulted in the denial of a recent loan application and an increase in the interest rates on my existing credit accounts. I want to emphasize the significant financial and emotional distress this negative rating has caused me and will continue to cause until it is resolved.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (CA)

Opened a credit card account with Barclays Gold Card account. I am in the XXXX and the original terms of the credit card included 0 % interest and waived annual account fee for the duration of my XXXX service. These terms were confirmed to me over the phone. The original XXXX term letter outlined waived transaction fees and 0 % APR for the duration of my service. The letter did not explicitly mention a waived account fee. I did not notice this since it was explained to me by a phone representative that the fee was waived for the duration of my XXXX service. 

Two weeks ago, I received a notice that the annual fee was no longer waived because it was discovered that I was XXXX prior to the opening of the account. This is false as Barclays knew my XXXX start date proceeded the account origination date as evidenced by the attached letters. 

The annual fee is {$990.00} which amounts to an insane APR of over 25 % even if I were to carry a balance of {$10000.00} for an entire year. 

I feel that the initial offer was duplicitous. I would have never opened this account if it were explained that the account fee waiver was temporary. Barclays advertised it as a permanent waiver and even confirmed this over the phone ; however, their term did not confirm this fact in writing nor did it state that the annual fee waiver was temporary. I made multiple purchases with this card under the impression that I would not be subjected to interest or annual fees - Barclays violated the good faith of this deal, and I 'm my opinion, committed promissory estoppel in doing so because my credit will be affected by closing the account in order to avoid huge fees.
