Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint: I am making this complaint for my  XXXX   year old  mother. My mother entered into a reverse mortgage with  Wells Fargo. I  do not know the exact date becau se Wells Fargo has yet to approve my Power of Attorney documents. My mother 's home had been paid off for years. Wells Fargo tal ked her into a reverse mortgage. The terms were she could stay in her home till she died then her heirs would have the chance to purchase her home. On   XX/XX/XXXX , m y mother received documents saying a collections agency was going to start foreclosure proceedings because my mother no longer lived there. My mother has always lived there. I have gone back and forth with  Wells Fargo try ing to resolve this matter. I have submitted documents on several occasions a nd Wells Fargo rejects them. Wells  Fargo has asked me to complete enclosures which were never enclosed with their letters. I have repeatedly asked them to provide an occupancy letter for my mother to sign which she just received on  XX/XX/XXXX . This letter was dated  XXXX .  Wells Fargo has  drug its feet in terms of getting this matter resolved and there has been no reason for it. I respectfully want others and the State of California to know ho w Wells Fargo conducts business. As long as this process has drug out, in what is a time sensitive matter, it is almost as if Wells Fargo d oes not want to get the situation resolved so they can kick my  XXXX   year old mother out of her home so they can take possession. I feel consumers have the right to know about Wells Fargo 's poor , poor, unethical business practices.

Consumer complaint received 02-05-2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with AMCOL Systems, Inc. (TX).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: I obtained a copy of my credit report in XX/XX/2017 and noticed that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Reporting as Amcol ), Inc.was reporting a collection account. I submitted a dispute letter to the credit bureaus regarding the account and they stated it was verified. To that end, I communicated in writing to Amcol in XX/XX/2017. I requested that they provide me copies of any documents proving my indebtness. See attached. I have not received any documentation to date to support the inaccurate, unverifiable entry they are continuing to report on my credit report. This company has had almost 6 months to respond. I have no recollection of ever owing them nor ever doing business with them whereby I signed a contract. The reporting of this entry is violating my consumer rights and therefore, should be removed immediately. 

The company should provide proof of all HIPPA information whereby I gave the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX permission to allegedly share my information with them as well as copies of their adherance to the Affordable Care Act where there was a screening performed as well as a clear summary that spells out the financial assistance/charity care options available if I am indeed responsible for this debt. 

Further, where are the copies of the letter XXXX XXXX XXXX should have sent in writing first, to advise me that they were turning over this alleged debt to the a collection agency. Also per ACA, once the collection agency, in this case, Amcol, received the debt, they were still responsible for providing billing information and payment plan options to help satisfy this alleged debt. As stated above, I have not received anything from this company.

Consumer complaint received 12/16/2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (OK).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: My mortgage was initially with Bank of America. In 2007 Bank of America transferred our mortgage to XXXX. In checking my credit report. My mortgage is being reported as XXXX times 90 days late in 2007. Our mortgage was never late!!! We paid Bank of America on time each and every time. They or XXXX is falsely reporting this. Also, it is listed in 2007. When XXXX got the loan they began charging us approximately {$690.00} per month in PMI on a XXXX dollar mortgage. This has to be against the law and unethical at least, price gouging a consumer. I have tried numerous times to get this straightened out with XXXX but never get anywhere. I feel we are being held hostage by this mortgage company who then just in the last two months has transferred our loan again to someone called XXXX. I have asked for our original mortgage documents, they said they would send them but I have not received them. This has been one month ago. I had never seen the late reporting from Bank of America until we went to our credit union to refinance our mortgage because we ca n't afford the payment which continues to go up and is now at {$1900.00} per month because of the PMI. Our loan officer at the credit union could n't understand why my credit score was in the 600 's until she kept looking and found the 90 days late for XXXX times being reported from Bank of America!!!! Help!!! How can I get this removed, it is false and damaging information.

Consumer complaint received 03-02-2018 about Mortgage (VA mortgage) with FREEDOM MORTGAGE COMPANY (AR).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: We closed on the sale of our home in XXXX TX on XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX XXXX ( phone # ( XXXX ) XXXX-XXXX XXXX XXXX. We were provided a pay-off amount of {$220000.00} by our mortgage company Freedom Mortgage ( phone # XXXX ). XXXX XXXX wired the money requested to Freedom Mortgage on XX/XX/XXXX.

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX received notification from Freedom Mortgage that there was an additional {$2300.00} due as Freedom had never deposited the {$220000.00} check that they had said was due at closing. I am being charged interest through XX/XX/XXXX as well as accrued interest, escrow advanced funds and additional fees. 

I believe that holding this money for almost a month and never contacting me or XXXX XXXX should be illegal as they are basically scamming everyone involved. Freedom had notified XXXX that the check had been deposited despite the fact that it was still sitting on someone's desk.

Consumer complaint received 11-01-2015 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (MD).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: Equifax is reporting my current XXXX XXXX account opened in XXXX 2013 as XXXX times 30 days late as well as months reviewed at 16 months. The months viewed should be 23 months as the account was opened in XXXX 2013. I contacted Equifax who advised that XXXX has to update this information so they started a dispute. I contacted XXXX and they advised that this is something the credit bureau updates. I feel that Equifax is keeping this number at 16 months reviewed in an effort to keep my credit score low by having lower months of review on the account. XXXX has also forwarded to Equifax on several occasions requesting that my account reflect no lates and pays on time. I recently applied for employment and the has come up on the back ground check. All of my other accounts reflect accurately with the number of months reviewed expect for my auto loan with XXXX on my Equifax file. However it is correct on the other bureaus.

Consumer complaint received 09/29/2015 about Debt collection (Mortgage) with Ditech Financial LLC (AZ).
Issue: Taking/threatening an illegal action
Sub-issue: Threatened arrest/jail if do not pay

Complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/2015 at XXXX I was contacted by someone stating that they had a criminal complaint and were looking for XXXX XXXX. The person on the phone verified my contact information and stated the an officer was coming to serve me the next day. I informed the gentleman that I do not have any reasons to have any criminal complaints against me and said sure I will be here. He then asked " did the attorneys contact you, at which I replied no. At this point, I told him that I did not have time to play games with him. He put me on hold to supposedly get the attorneys and I hung up. I XXXX the number that he called from which showed up on my caller ID and it was listed as the fax number to the Arizona Superior Court in XXXX XXXX - Juror Information. Less than a week after this call I received a letter from GreenTree Servicing referencing a debt that had passed the statue of limitations and was removed from my credit report. The letter was dated XXXX/XXXX/15. Once I received the letter I called the phone number listed and it was the exact same person that called trying to threaten or scare saying that I had a criminal complaint saying someone was going to my house looking for me. I told him that as far as my knowledge this was no longer on my credit report and had been taken care of. I asked him to send any documents that he had verifying the debt and I would look it over with my attorney. Which GreenTree did not. Their letter states that the consumer has 30 days to submit proof. The entire actions of Greentree servicing from the start was deceptive and misleading in nature.

Consumer complaint received 09-09-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (TX).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint: Equifax mishandled my information which has led to a breach that puts myself and millions of others at potential risk. Equifax handled the situation horribly. Very little was done to notify the public for nearly a month after the breach was detected. I received no email, letter, or phone call and instead had to discover it via social media. 

Going forward Equifax should be required to monitor every account and notify victims if any fraud occurs. Credit fraud protection should be mandatory for every account, not an option for only the most dedicated users to figure out. 

I have never chosen to do business with Equifax and yet my personal data has been breached because they do business with others who I do business with. This is intolerable that data can be stolen without the knowledge of the individuals put at risk.
