Consumer complaint received 07/21/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with RUSHMORE LOAN MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC (MI).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: My wife and I experienced financial difficulties in XXXX. We requested a loan modification from the servicer of our mortgage. Initially we were told that we had not submitted sufficient financial information. This was rectified within two days. Then the servicer lost the new information. Within a few weeks we were informed that the information had been found and that our request was being processed. Five months elapsed with regular contacts from us but no response to our modification request from the servicer. Then the loan was sold to another holder and the servicer was changed. The new servicer told us we would likely qualify for a modification, but that we would have to submit all new financial information, which we did. In response, we received a short sale offer. We protested that we were requesting a loan modification. Many months passed and then the servicer requested all new financial information, which we provided. Again many months passed and again we were offered a short sale. When we refused the short sale, the lender began a judicial foreclosure. After a few years in court, the judicial foreclosure was settled with a loan modification. XXXX parties waived any claims arising out of events prior to the settlement except as to the obligations identified in the Settlement Agreement. This took place in XX/XX/XXXX Since then we have made all required payments on time. Nonetheless XX/XX/XXXX, our mortgage statements began including the statement that we owed {$3300.00} as " recoverable advances ''. Neither this sum, nor the concept of " recoverable advances '' was mentioned in the Settlement Agreement. We have written to the servicer asking for an explanation of this charge. Our most recent request was on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, the servicer sent a reply stating that it would require additional time to review our inquiry but that a response would be forthcoming within 15 days. None has been received, and our most recent statement, dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX still shows " recoverable advances '' of {$3300.00}.

Consumer complaint received 06/22/2015 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (FL).
Issue: Application processing delay

Complaint: When we were in XXXX, a vendor accidentally XXXX billed a charge of XXXX XXXX, They issued a credit the same date, XXXX/XXXX/15. 
Unfortunately the XXXX charges ( same day ) were billed at different exchange rates and were billed US {$23.00} and US {$22.00}, but the credit ( same day ) was for US {$22.00}. 
When I questioned Citibank they were unable to assist me and explain how XXXX transactions were for different amounts on the same day, they told me to refer to XXXX XXXX XXXX. Does the XXXX XXXX XXXX exchange rate vary by minute? This appears fishy to me.

Consumer complaint received 07/13/2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (SC).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: Equifax The way the system is set up, it discriminates ( see attached XXXX pages ) against people who pay their bills on time. In my case, not only are they discriminating against me, the Credit reporting agencies have wiped my credit history out and have dropped my credit score down to XXXX from XXXX. It 's as if I have never had credit. I 'm being treated as if I have BAD credit. Auto/home insurance rates have gone up. If I borrow money, my interest rate has gone up 1.5 %. I 've been denied credit cards and my checks are being denied by a company called XXXX, due to my credit score. XXXX will not authorize my checks. As of today ( XX/XX/2016 ), my score is XXXX/XXXX. 
I want my credit score to reflect my outstanding payment and credit history over the years. Not just the past three months. 

QUESTION : How is this system fair? As stated above, the credit reporting agencies are set up to discriminate against individuals that pay their bills on time or early. If you read their own definition/explanation, the credit reporting agencies want to force you into debt in order to obtain higher credit score.

Consumer complaint received 12/18/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with LoanCare, LLC (TX).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX our loan was transferred to Loancare. Apparently only my wife 's old work number was the only information that was transferred ( I found this out after I called about the bank draft non payments ). When I found out about my bank draft not occurring, I called my previous servicing company and was informed the loan was transferred. When I called the loancare the first time, I paid the full balance and was told the autodraft should be set up. Several months later, I realized the payment was still not occurring. I called immediately and made full payment and was correctly told by the associate that I needed to set up the auto draft myself. I did this immediately and now it 's all setup and working. The reason this is so time sensitive is because we are in the process of buying a new home and my credit score decreased significantly because of the late payments. We have never had a late payment in the 9 years prior to the loan transfer. This should not be an issue of us being at risk borrowers.

Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: My husband and I paid off our personal line of credit with B 0f A in XX/XX/XXXX, and were told that a formal release, giving us clear title to our property would be issued in 30-90 days. The pay-off date was XX/XX/2015. Today I called regarding the document and was first told that I had to contact my County for that document. When I said I had already queried them, I was then told the paperwork had not bee processed until XX/XX/2015 and it would be another 30-90 days until B 0f A sent the paperwork to my County. When I pointed out that it had already been 30 days since their processing, I was told it could be up to another 90 days before we received the release and clear title to our property. This is not acceptable business practice, I know that B 0f A would not wait 120 days for any documents or money that was due to them.

Consumer complaint received 07-10-2017 about Debt collection (Mortgage debt) with Ditech Financial LLC (WA).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint: Ditech Financial LLC is the 5th lien holder of this disputed debt. In XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased a house for {$250000.00} through a bank in NM. That loan was sold to XXXX, which then sold it to XXXX XXXX XXXX, which then sold it to Green Tree Financial, which then sold it to Ditech Financial. The debt was sold four times through XX/XX/XXXX. By XX/XX/XXXX, I made the decision for my XXXX children and me that we could no longer afford to live in the house. I was borrowing from family and living on credit cards in order to make the mortgage payments. I notified XXXX XXXX XXXX that I would be unable to continue to make mtg. payments, but would attempt to remedy the situation. I made efforts to rent the house through a rental company which specialized in this type of transaction, due to the state of the economy, there was n't the market for such a large property. I made sure that the septic system was cleaned, swamp cooler serviced, termite inspection done, furnace serviced, guest house rooms freshly painted, shrubbery trimmed. We also left a usable refrigerator in the garage and the house cleaned when we left. I left the house keys with the next-door neighbor, and notified XXXX XXXX XXXX that 's what had been done. Within a few days, men came from XXXX XXXX XXXX (? ) /Green Tree (? ) -- got the keys from the neighbor, went through the house, changed the locks, then exited. I contacted Green Tree and tried to work through that company to resell the house via their specific division, but was notified by them that since I had moved from the house, I was considered an absentee landlord and they could n't help me! What a joke! I then tried to sell the property through a realtor that specialized in short-sells, verified with Green Tree that I had all of the paperwork, it was all vetted, we had a buyer who was ready to sign the purchase agreement -- of course it was a lot less than the $ XXXX, but it would have saved the property and me. That day, both the realtor and I were notified by Green Tree that the house was being put up for sheriff 's sale and the realtor and I were out of the picture. The house was sold at sheriff 's sale -- by Green Tree to Green Tree -- for {$200000.00}. It was then resold to another buyer. At some point after that, Green Tree sold the loan to Ditech Financial, which really just might be Green Tree/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX DBA Ditech Financial. I was sent a Capital Gains Statement for my XX/XX/XXXX income taxes in the dollar amount of {$180000.00}. We had no gains from this whole nightmare, only losses on top of losses.

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: This complaint is with XXXX XXXX, for my XXXX XXXX account, account ending in XXXX This account was charged off/written off. After it was charged off, I contacted XXXX  to pay the balance off and that 's when they told me it has been charged off, but offered me a settlement amount, which I declined, because I wanted to PAY IN FULL, because I needed this account deleted from credit report, as I am trying to buy a house, as I explained to my account manager there, XXXX XXXX, ext XXXX. She said once the debt is paid to send a letter to their credit dispute reporting department to have it removed from my report. when I contact them to dispute, the only thing they keep doing is updating the status as " paid collection '' I also was told I would get a paid in full letter, but I have not got one yet, so I called my account manager again XXXX to ask for one and her words were " oh you have not gotten one yet, ok I 'll get one out to you '' Since I paid this account in FULL, I am no longer responsbile for this debt Also, XXXX still collected the full balance on this account from me after they had already written it off as profit and loss, so they got double paid. I am asking once again for XXXX to please delete this account off all three credit reports, as I have paid my debt in FULL and they were compensated twice, when they wrote this account off as profit and loss and their taxes and when I PAID THEM IN FULL. I am still waiting on my PAID IN FULL LETTER, so I can have in case I need to further dispute this account by other means,

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 received a notification from XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX notifying me that an update had occurred on my credit report. After logging in and checking the update I was alerted that my credit score had drastically dropped and 8 of my XXXX XXXX XXXX Accounts had been updated to show late payments as of XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted each bureau and was told by each one basically the same thing that the creditor reported the update. I then proceeded to contact the creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX, I spoke with a CS agent by the name of XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. After verification of all my personal information I informed XXXX that according to all 3 credit bureaus my account had been reported as of XX/XX/XXXX as a late payment and it was negatively affecting my credit which i was working to restore. XXXX then informed me that according to my account they had NOT updated this information with the credit bureaus and because my accounts were included in my bankruptcy they could NOT update ANY information on my accounts with the credit bureaus. I asked her could i have this in writing since the bureaus were giving me the run around about it and she informed me that just as they could not give ANY information to the credit bureaus they could also NOT provide me with anything in writing. She said they could only send a letter to the attorney that handled my bankruptcy case. I informed all 3 credit bureaus of this and they still REFUSE to accurately update my account so this negative impact will be removed from credit reports.
