Complaint: I am trustee on a home my mother owned. There were several XXXX dues levied on a monthly basis. XXXX XXXX contracts with First Service Residential for billing. I was not receiving bills in a timely manner. At the time of my mother 's death, the XXXX dues were due for about three months. I paid in full, and the XXXX cashed the check. Not two days later, I received a collection notice showing that over an entire year 's worth of dues were owed. I provided a written notice within 30 days disputing the debt stating it was paid and providing records. I asked Red Rock Financial Services ( the collection agency ) to verify the debt. I received no such records. I am now in the middle of selling the home. At signing, I was presented with a settlement statement from the title company stating that the XXXX dues are in collection status and that the amount still owed is significantly higher than the yearly amount. I still have received no justification for this amount and from where it has arisen given that the fees were paid in full.

Consumer complaint received 08-03-2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with BROKER SOLUTIONS, INC. (NV).
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint: I began two loan applications on XXXX XXXX, 2017 with XXXX XXXX XXXX located in XXXX, CA. One loan application was a purchase of a new property and the other was a refinance of an existing property. XXXX XXXX was my initial loan officer and everything proceeded smoothly until the file was sent to Underwriting on XXXX XXXX, 2017. I was told on numerous occasions that everything was 'in order ' and moving toward funding as scheduled, as I had provided all necessary documentation to the lender promptly and accurately during the review process. The lender was well aware of my scheduled Close of Escrow date of XXXX XXXX, 2017 and I was assured that nothing else was needed and that both loans would close simultaneously on, or before the scheduled COE date. A week before close of escrow, on XXXX XXXX, 2017, XXXX assured me that both loans were being Approved and closing on time. On XXXX XXXX, 2017 XXXX called me to inform me that the appraisal was 'waived ' in error by the lender for the refinance application and they were scrambling to have the refinance property appraised. I received an email for both the Processing Manager, XXXX XXXX, and the Director of Customer Service, XXXX XXXX, that they had made mistakes and that the loan process for both applications were delayed. On XXXX XXXX, 2017 I received an email from XXXX XXXX that they were making an 'exception ' and waiving the appraisal, the same appraisal that was supposedly delaying my loan to begin with. I am now 7 weeks into my loan applications and have yet to receive any decision on either loan, despite the verbal assurances that I would be approved. Not only are they in clear violation of Regulation B, but I have had to appease a furious Seller and negotiate a $ XXXX/day fine for every day that my purchase loan does not close. Now, I am in jeopardy of losing this property due to flagrant negligence and missteps by XXXX XXXX XXXX. Please HELP me save this property!

Consumer complaint received 07/27/2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with Stellar Recovery, Inc. (AZ).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint: XXXX claims that we had signed a 12 month contract for their services. XXXX claims that we own them {$170.00} of a service contract. We never signed a contract and were in a month-to-month agreement. We asked them to provide proof that we signed a contract and they were unable or unwilling to do so. We refused to pay the {$170.00} as we are not responsible for a contract that we never signed.
XXXX sent the {$170.00} amount to a collections agency named Stellar Recovery, Inc. ( XXXX ). We called today to inform them that the amount was in dispute and that we do n't recognize them as the holders of the debt. We asked Stellar Recovery , Inc. to remove the item from our credit report until they were able to prove that we were responsible for it. Stellar Recovery refused.
It is unfair and abusive for this matter to negatively affect our credit when neither XXXX nor Stellar Recovery has been able to provide evidence that we own them money.

Consumer complaint received 12-09-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (GA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I received a foreclosure letter from Select Portfolio Servicing on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. This after they had turned me down for a Modification saying that they had not received all the information to review the modification and they were closing out the request. They consistently tell you that they did n't receive information or something was missing from the application, which is not true. 
I spoke with XXXX XXXX from the Ombudsman dept. On XXXX XXXX, and she told me the the foreclosure sale date would be on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. In researching this I noticed that the foreclosure sale had not been posted to any local papers. The law state that .... The foreclosure sale must be advertised in the official county newspaper where the property was located once a week for four consecutive weeks prior to scheduled sale date. This had not happened as of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Sale date set for XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
I spoke with the foreclosing lawyer, XXXX XXXX XXXX and he referred me to his paralegal, XXXX XXXX. She told me the the foreclosure had been put on hold due to a dispute. I relayed that information back to the XXXX office at SPS and spoke with XXXX XXXX again. I informed her of the postponed foreclosure and she put me on hold to talk to her supervisor. She came back on and told me that they were working closely with the lawyer to keep the date of XX/XX/XXXX.I informed her that they would n't be taking the proper. She said they were doing it anyway. If they do this is an illegal process and I take issue of this. They are trying to set me up for failure with the modifications and then trying to foreclose on me .... illegally. The paralegal, XXXX XXXX, was in full agreement.

Consumer complaint received 07-02-2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with Convergent Resources, Inc. (IA).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint: I discovered a collection on my credit i did not know about. After completing my contract with XXXX a charge was added to the account that was later described as a equipment fee. I had no information of this debit and requested proof it was valid. I received nothing. After 60 days i again called and was given only a phone number to a collection agency named convergent. I called and spoke with them requesting proof i owed this debit and it was valid. I also placed a letter in the mail with these same requests later that day. I received nothing. After another 30 days i called back to make a final attempt to resolve the debit. The agent i spoke to offered me a settlement that included a complete deletion of the account from my credit report and a paid in full status. She made the case that the settlement was cheaper and faster than getting a attorney. Because this false debit was causing great hardship to my family by preventing the refinance of my home and the agent knew this i felt blackmailed into the arrangement. I agreed and gave my credit card number and awaited the documentation of this agreement in the mail. After another 30 days with no documentation, no deletion from my credit report, and no return communication from repeated phone calls i contacted my credit card company. They opened a fraud case. XXXX XXXX determined the false statements and deceptive agreements along with the complete absence of agreed documentation made by the agent to obtain my credit card number met their requirements for fraud and they promptly reversed the charges. The collection agency responded by placing a second collection on my credit report. So at this time they are reporting two accounts. Injuring my credit further. I am at this time reviewing local attorneys to begin legal action against the collection agency. They blackmailed me with inaccurate reporting info, lied to me to get my credit card number, provided not one piece of requested documentation, and falsely placed a second new collection account on my credit report. I have no documents as they refuse to send anything. If you need copies of the fraud finding by my credit card company i can produce that at any time. However absolutely no bills, letters, or documentation of this debit of any kind has been received by me at any time.

Consumer complaint received 06/16/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Ditech Financial LLC (AL).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I received a letter telling me my Mortgage was past due. I knew I had a auto pay bi weekly coming out of my account for years. I called the company they were RUDE, unprofessional and basically told me I did n't know what I was talking about. I called my bank, then I finally tracked down my payments. I was then told that the company I was using ( which is a third party company ) was a rip off. They also told me they did not deal with third party companies, which was not true. I never had to contact the company I was using to change my payment amount. The third party company has ALWAYS notified me regarding changes from the mortgage company annually, due to increase in property tax or home owner insurance. But this year the only notice they received fro Green Tree Servicing was to decrease my amount. After that was done a couple of time at the first of the year, that is when I got the letter from GTS. So now they are calling me monthly, for an extra payment and wanting to charge me late and processing fees. They still refuse to contact the third party company. I would love to change to another more qualified company that can get the job done right the first time. This company has shown to be the worse ever.

I do not owe them any money. They got all their money upfront. Somebody has made a mistake and I need this corrected.

Consumer complaint received 05/25/2016 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with NELNET, INC. (NY).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint: From the moment I went into loan repayment, I engaged Nelnet to find the most affordable option available for me. They put me on the lowest payment option ( not a federal program ) that extends the life of the loan and accrues the largest amount of interest. This option was absolutely in their interest, and did nothing to help me pay off my debt. I began to do research and asked to apply for one of the income-based repayment plans that are laid out on federal student loan website. They first told me that I did not qualify for any of them. 

This was incorrect ; I qualify for the REPAYE program. I 'm not certain, but assuming that they should understand these programs better than me, it was dishonest at best, and a lie at worst. It took me months to argue for moving my loan onto an income-based repayment plan. I engaged, and re-engaged for months, to only finally be placed on REPAYE this month ( XXXX 2016 ).

Consumer complaint received 03-06-2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (GA).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint: My student loans were transferred to Navient from XXXX a few years ago. I was notified by Navient on XX/XX/2016 that a parent plus loan went into deferment on XX/XX/2016. I immediately notified them on XX/XX/2016 that I did not want this loan to be in deferment. This payment was part of a loan credit program reducing the interest rate 1.5 %, but because I missed a payment because of their late notice to me this loan credit was retracted. They also charged me {$83.00}. I was not aware that when my daughter returned to school for a master 's program that when she placed her student loans into deferment the parent plus loan I have would also go into deferment. I have asked them in writing to reinstate this credit because I had no opportunity to ensure the payments remain consistent, but they have denied this request.
