Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Seneca Mortgage is a loan servicer for XXXX. They collect the loan amount as well as hold money in escrow for taxes and insurance. Seneca Mortgage frequently changes the monthly amount owed in order to collect late fees - I automatically pay my mortgage the same amount monthly.

Consumer complaint received 11-04-2015 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with Quality Loan Service Corporation (CA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: This is my fourth complaint, in this same matter : Received today, my first and only notice from the County of XXXX Recorder, that a Notice of Default has been recorded against my property, document # XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX. Notice states that filing was done electronically. Document has the signature of XXXX, Assistant Secretary of Quality Loan Service Corp., Trustee. 

Document confirms that the loan date was XX/XX/XXXX. 

As I stated before in a prior complaint, Quality Loan Service in its XX/XX/XXXX Debt Validation Norice letter, stated : '' The current creditor to whom the debt/loan is owed is : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. ". 

As Instated before in a prior complaint, the XXXX XXXX website states that the owner of my loan is XXXX XXXX. 

Quality Loan Service made a material false statement in its Debt Validation Notice letter. This is serious. XXXX XXXX owns my loan and is my lender. 

As I stated in a prior complaint, California requires for loans made between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX on XXXX to XXXX Unit Owner Occupied Properties, that the lender as required by Cal. Civ. Ciode sec. 2923.5 ( a ) contact the borrower by phone or in person to assess the borrower 's financial situation and explore options for avoiding foreclosure. 

XXXX XXXX never had a conversation with me. 

Even though XXXX XXXX never had a conversation with me, as required by Statute, the loan servicer XXXX XXXX took it upon itself to have Quality Loan Service file the Notice of Default. 

Furthermore, the copy of the Notice of Default sent to me by the County of XXXX Recorder ( XXXX pages ) does NOT have any declaration by the lender ( XXXX XXXX ) that it contacted me to explore options to avoid foreclosure. This declaration is required by Cal. Civ. Code sec. 2923.5 ( b ). Contact has to be by phone or in person, per Cal. Civ. Code sec. 2923.5 ( a ). 

XXXX XXXX is the owner of my loan, the lender. 

XXXX XXXX is only the servicer. Declaration has to be by the lender, per Statute. A declaration by the loan servicer of contact attempts does NOT comply with the Statute.

Complaint: I manage all the bills, including accounts belonging to my husband, and they are paid on time if not before the due date with minor exceptions.

I 'm therefore confused why my credit score is always lowered or dramatically affected for foolish reasons. Only varying factor is my gender.
This complaint is frankly for the sexism I 've experienced from credit score companies.

Consumer complaint received 08/22/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Credit Plus Inc (FL).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint: On XX/XX/17 I received a message from a credit monitoring services that my credit as well as my husband 's credit had been pulled by Credit Plus. I called the company right away and they stated that XXXX XXXX XXXX had used their platform to pull our credit. However, my husband or myself had never given authorization ( verbal or written ) to have our credit pulled. We disputed the inquiry with credit plus ( file number XXXX ) and they stated that it can take 30 days to have the inquiry removed, since XXXX XXXX XXXX has 20 days to respond. We are in the process of waiting for our credit to improve, since we paid off a lot of accounts, and it is still not showing in our credit. It was very important to us since we are going to be applying for a home loan soon and this inquiry can hurt our score and stay for 2 years. It is not fair that consumers go through this. The regulations must be changed and credit companies must request a written signed document before they allow any company to pull credit reports.
