Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC (MI)

Quicken Loans. I Called to start a v.a. home loan. I started with XXXX, a high pressure salesman. I informed him that I was interested in pursuing a v.a. loan but needed to finish replacing the roof on my home before i began. he immediately requested my Social Security Number and pulled a credit report and informed me that i qualified for a good rate. he then pressured me into rate locking, even though i had informed him that i was going to be taking some time before proceeding with the loan to complete renovations on my home. I uploaded all documents requested of me, along with these documents was a statement of my home owners association dues. I live in a single family detached home in a private homeowners association of which XXXX was aware of. We are also on a community well. They requested credit card information to proceed with getting a appraisal scheduled. My credit card was debited immediately and i never got contacted to schedule an appraisal for over 3 weeks. After the appraisal, i was contacted by quicken to inform me that because i was requesting a V.A. loan and i lived in a " Condo '' complex, there was further paperwork required to obtain an aproved V.A. Condo I.D . This document takes 60-90 days to process thru the V.A. and quicken does not assist with that process. I do not live in a Condo complex and i have never heard of such a thing. I was then told that i would still qualify for a standard mortgage at a slightly higher rate. I started to proceed in that direction until a few days later i get the call informing me that because i filed for bankruptcy 3.5 years ago, i was automatically disqualified. XXXX had all my financial documentation almost 60 days prior. They were well informed of my bankruptcy since day 1. Why they attempted to place me in a standard mortgage after the failed V.A. attempt is further discouragement. Quicken mishandled this case from step one. Again, I do not live in a condo. Never heard of a V.A. Condo I.D . before and had no idea it applied to an association. No refund!? 

Desired Settlement : Billing AdjustmentQuit placing blame on the consumer and take ownership of your advertising. You do NOT specialize in V.A. loans. You specialize in making money for yourselves and when you XXXX blame the customer. Learn from your mistakes. If in the future, you get a client on the phone and they inform you that they live in an association, the questions should be asked to ensure that the HOA is not considered to be a " Condo '' I certainly did not know that ... writing mortgages is not my specialty.

United Recoveries called my home today in an attempt to collect a debt allegedly owed by my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law has NEVER lived at my home and United Recoveries called just to get information on her. Although the call was from United Recoveries, the phone number they called from, XXXX, displayed the caller ID of " XXXX XXXX '' an unrelated company in a clear attempt to mislead me. Also, United Recoveries recorded the call prior to obtaining my consent and peppered me with question immediately in an attempt to distract me from the statement that they would be recording the call.

According to the XXXX XXXX website, banks who service XXXX XXXX loans must use their standard interest rate on all modifications. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, the XXXX XXXX rate was 4.125 %. A month prior to that it was $ 4.0 %. Why is there a discrepancy between what what XXXX XXXX is issuing and what my Usbank ( the servicer ) is charging me? Many thanks.

We are having problems with US Bank holding our checks until after the due date and then charging us late fees which we refuse to pay. We are trying to refinance with a different company and are at a standstill until we get this situation resolved. We have called them regarding this and have gotten the excuse that the mail is really slow because it is tax time and the post office in XXXX XXXX is backed up like it is XX/XX/XXXX. The funny thing is that this has been happening for the last 5 months. XXXX at US Bank said that they do not hold checks. I beg to differ. The phone conversation that I had with her on XX/XX/XXXX was recorded by US Bank and should be used as evidence of the phone conversation I had with her. I have contacted a local branch manager as well and he said that payments are processed by check date or when cancelled by the post office. He said he would look into it and get back to me within 24 hours or by email. That was on XX/XX/XXXX as well after I talked to XXXX at US Bank. I left one message with an actual person but I have not heard from him and every time I call the branch now I get a message that they can not talk right now with no option to leave a message? Our XX/XX/XXXX check was mailed on XX/XX/XXXX and USBank did not post it to our account until XX/XX/XXXX which is one day after the grace period has ended. I am pretty sure that it does n't take 11 days for first class mail to get anywhere in the US. My husband works for XXXX and I am a XXXX. I tried calling the mortgage manager and the customer service manager at the XXXX phone number. Again I have left messages. No one has returned my call.

Our file has been coming in and out of gatekeeping with US Bank since XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Our attorney has called US Bank every business day from XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and there has been no change in status. We believe that the lender delay is merely a tactic to increase the amount of the underlying arrearage so that US Bank may increase their fees. We wonder if US Bank has a record of this type of glacial processing.

The credit card company informed me the prior month that I had a promotion expiring and that I needed to pay it off in full to avoid interest charges. When I attempted to do that it was not applied to the balance expiring and when I called to ask them to change it they said that I had agreed to this in the terms when I accepted the promotional rate. The {$3000.00} payment was applied to a promotional balance expiring on XXXX. In addition none of my payment was applied to a purchase balance of XXXX that is accruing a minimum interest charge of {$2.00} every month.

In XXXX XXXX My mortgage company advised me of a payment increase due to escrow. My previous homeowners insurance was nearly {$2500.00} per year. I refused to renew with XXXX XXXX and looked for another carrier. I received a new policy with XXXX XXXX which was approx {$950.00} per year. I contacted US Bank and advised the escrow department and asked for a updated escrow analysis and payment adjustment. I followed up and spoke to an individual who indicated that I should pay {$1100.00} per month going forward. Starting in XXXX I started to submit payments in the amount of {$1100.00} as instructed starting in XXXX. However the bank continued to reflect the amount due as {$1300.00}. Full payments were not applied since I was submitting {$1100.00}. I was advised that there was a payment that was made in XXXX which applied to XXXX, which the bank is saying they never received and then two payments were posted on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I am active Bankruptcy and today received a motion for relief based on a affidavit signed by bank personal that as of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX my account was delinquent as I missed three post petition payments they claimed. How can payments be received on the same and an employee sign an affidavit they have not received them. This is a false affidavit to the court. Furthermore the Attorney Firm contracted by the court, failed to validate the affidavit information when submitting the petition to the court on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX over a week since payments posted to the account. I will be vigorously defending this petition in the Bankruptcy Court but believe that these practices by US BANK NA be fully investigated so that they are not able to victimize any other borrowers.

This charge is for " Roaming Charges '' while on a cruise. I did not make or receive any calls, did not text or receive any texts ( except from XXXX ), and/or did not connect to any website while out of the country ; therefore I received no benefit. I initially disputed this charge w/XXXX, by my phone call, in XX/XX/XXXX and asked for details of the charges, which I never received. I disputed the charges again XXXX XXXX ( collection agency ), who sent a demand letter, in a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX and again requested a statement detailing any numbers that were called or received, and the web sites that were visited during the period while I was out of the country, and once again received nothing. My account was then passed on to the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( another collection agency ) and I received a demand letter from them. I wrote to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and informed them that the charge was not valid and that I had already disputed the charge with XXXX and another agency. I explained that I received no benefit for the charges, and despite XXXX requests, I had not received anything validating the charges. I informed them that I would not respond to any more inquiries. On XXXX XXXX they signed for my certified letter and my account was reported to XXXX as a collection on XXXX XXXX. My XXXX Credit Score has just dropped from XXXX to XXXX due to this. I 've not checked, but I 'm sure that my XXXX and XXXX XXXX scores have dropped as well. I have a collection on my credit report for a medical bill which I disputed. The scenario with that bill was exactly the same. When I would dispute it with a collection agency they would drop it and then it would be sent to another agency. I finally gave up sending letters and explaining the situation over and over again. This practice has got to be in violation of the FCRA and I do not intend to have another collection on my record that is not valid. Enhanced Recovery should be shut down based on accounts that I 've read when I researched the phone number that they called from. 
Since then I received another collection letter from Enhanced Recovery Company , LLC. I have verified that they called me on XXXX and today ( XXXX ), left it ring XXXX, hung up before I could answer and left no message. The number that they called from is ( XXXX ) XXXX. I have no interest in contacting them as I have already made it clear to XXXX other collection agencies that I do not owe XXXX {$620.00} and that I requested a detailed statement which I have not received. They do not have a detailed statement as explained above. I sent a letter to XXXX requesting that they remove the collection. They did not remove it but they did indicate on the report that the account is in dispute.

Over the past several month they have done XXXX or XXXX " hard '' credit inquiries with the credit bureaus. When I talk to the credit card service center they tell me there is only XXXX hard inquire done when you initially get your credit card. After that, they do soft inquiries which do not impact your score. This continual hard inquiries sometimes twice a month is driving down my credit score and making it difficult for me to do business. I sent them a letter a month ago with no response at this point. I ca n't seem to get anyones attention. 

When I sent the letter to Elan telling them the problem I attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the enquires. I do not have that with me here at the office today to attach.
