Consumer complaint received 11-05-2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Stearns Ventures, LLC (IN).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I called my previous mortgage lender Stearns Lending on XXXX XXXX, 2015 only to state that I had my loan tranferred to XXXX. I did not and have not received any information regarding the mortgage loan transfer until I contacted Stearns Lending on the above mentioned date. Reason I am filing a complaint is I currently am going through a valid hardship ( i.e. lost my employment ) and have sent off the hardship letter package on XXXX XXXX, 2015 to Stearns. I am attempting to determine what are my next steps and I have been on the phone with both Stearns and XXXX for over an hour today and have gotten no information as I have retained copies of my hardship package as directed by Stearns Lending to attempt to provide this information to XXXX to no avail. I want to file a complaint against Stearns Lending for not providing me a 15 day notice that my loan was being transferred as I have not received any educated information on what steps I can do to make an educated decision on what to do next without losing my home.

Complaint: XXXX has been working on my behalf to dispute and remove accounts with National Credit System. The account has been paid for over a year and they are still reporting to XXXX bureaus.

Consumer complaint received 03-07-2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with National Credit Systems,Inc. (MI).
Issue: Improper contact or sharing of info
Sub-issue: Contacted me instead of my attorney

Complaint: National Credit Systems Inc sent me a letter XXXX XXXX, 2016 offering to reduce my debt if I sent the money in by XXXX/XXXX/16. But they did not send it out until around XXXX XXXX after speaking to the male supervisor it was clear that the intention was never to allow me to pay the reduced amount of XXXX. There was no date on the envelope sent by the credit company so they could and did say that the letter was sent before the closing date on the letter, and blame the postal service for the delay. The supervisor is very disagreeable and rude and seem to be counter productive to getting the companies payments from the customers. This supervisor places on my file what he choose to, after I asked him to put on my file that I am willing to accept their offer of paying XXXX but I could not afford to pay the full amount of XXXX. This debt was bought from the XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX Michigan. I feel that the National Credit system is deliberately misrepresentive of their offers to reduce your debt because they do n't give you time to respond to these requests and blame the postal service for being too blame for the delay when it is clear that if they had sent the letters out in a timely manner I would got it in time to respond to the offer they sent me.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Reinserted previously deleted info

Complaint: now I understand why the FCRA was made because these companies are full of abuse and only want to make money off of inaccurate information! I disputed twice with all XXXX bureaus and I had a few deletions but then they were reinserted on my file and I was never notified and they have to do it within 5 business days of reinsertion. Are they willing to sign an affidavit swearing under oath they sent me something? I get all of my mail and I received all the mail from them except for that. they did n't send me anything and by law they must remove it. not only that, but they did n't send me the procedure they used to verify these items and seeing my name on a screen does not qualify as verification. I asked for the documentation and they did n't provide it. they have a job to make certain that the information on my report is correct and not only that, they have to make sure that the info they receive from the creditors is correct and they did n't. I do n't know what this bankruyptcy is either and the only response is that it stays on my file XXXX10 years. did I ask how long it stays on? No I did n't. I have already complained to the XXXX for my state and I will make a press release. they are treating me unfairly and are breaking the law!

Consumer complaint received 09/19/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE (IL).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: I am completely shock of all the fraudulent claims Nationstar has come up in order to denied my loan. I have provided the same income as the previous review and I was provided a trial payment and now that I was forced to re-applied in order to safe my home, Nationstar refuses to approved me for a modification. Based under the guidelines my loan does qualify for the Hamp Tier 2. On the previous review nationstar offer me the Hamp Tier1 and on the final documents they switched the terms to the Clarity commitment modificaion. After I question them on why my modification was been combine with the Clarity commitment, Nationstar did have an explanation. This was not acceptable because under the Clarity commitment I know I should be offer some principle forgiveness based under the national settlement against Nationstar. At this point I have tried to work with Nationstar numerals times and they have switch my income in order to denied my loan, after many applications now they are stating I dont have enough for an affordable mortgage payment. When clearly I have the same income from the previous review and I was offer a trial, why is this any different. I have attached supportive documents to make sure Nationstar stops prolonging my loan. My intentions are to keep my house please help me my home is severely under water. Thank you.

Consumer complaint received 01-11-2017 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (VA).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: I was a XXXX XXXX customer between XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. In XXXX XXXX, I discontinued my XXXX. XXXX charged me a {$130.00} " early termination fee '' ( ETF ), alleging that I had agreed to such a fee previously. However, I had never entered into any contract with or agreed to any " early termination '' clause with respect to my XXXX. I asked my bank, XXXX Bank XXXX XXXX, to mediate the dispute. After contacting both sides, XXXX issued me a refund for the {$130.00} that had been erroneously and illegally charged to my account. I naively assumed that the XXXX Bank decision would settle the matter. 

However, XXXX continued to pursue me for this money, even after XXXX Bank resolved the mediation in my favor. XXXX referred this debt to a collection agency, XXXX XXXX, so I filed a complaint with the CFPB ( XXXX ) against XXXX and XXXX XXXX. XXXX responded to the CFPB to state that XXXX had, " closed and recalled this account, '' and, " XXXX XXXX will make no further efforts to contact you. '' However, this adverse item continues to appear on my Equifax credit report. I disputed the adverse item with Equifax and they refused to remove the item from my credit report, even though XXXX XXXX has provided XXXX evidence that this is a legitimate debt. 

I am contacting the CFPB for their assistance in mediating this issue with Equifax, and to help remove this black mark from my credit report.

XXXX requires written request of pay off verification for which I can request to be sent directly to this company and/or XXXX from the XXXX Trustee.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint: In a statement with the date XXXX XXXX, XXXX, i received a letter from the Financial Corporation of America. This is a collection company that is trying to collect funds for XXXX XXXX XXXX. This bill is for my XXXX XXXX XXXX step-daughter that does not live with us. She is a competent adult that we are not responsible for. I provide her insurance through my XXXX and that is the extent of my obligation for her. She saw this medical group on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and never paid her bill in the amount of {XXXX}. I did not know she went to the XXXX nor was I present for the visit.

Consumer complaint received 06/20/2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CA).
Issue: Settlement process and costs

Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, California, CFPB Complaint No. : XXXX XXXX XXXX : Thank you for your response to the above referenced matter. I find that response to be rather dismissive, condescending and misleading. As Trustee of a Trust XXXX operates in a fiduciary capacity in regard to the beneficiaries of the Trust and is solely responsible for the actions and conduct of the Trust according to its provisions unless it is co Trustee with another entity or individual. To attempt to differentiate ownership between the Trust and the Trustee is patently misleading when you know that the Trustee controls all fot he actions of the trust regardless of the nature of the trust. 

I am requesting that you particularly and specifically clarify XXXX XXXX XXXX relationship to this transaction regarding the acquisition, maintenance and, subsequent disposition of title to this property. If I believe that you are intentionally attempting to mislead me I will commence proceedings with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and such other federal regulatory agencies as are appropriate. 

To indicate that XXXX XXXX was not involved with this matter in its individual capacity is to fail to state in just what capacity it was involved and is therefore intentionally deceitful. Do not trifle with me regarding this matter by providing half truths and half answers in an attempt to run me around in semantical circles. 

If XXXX was not the lender or servicer for this property, please state the name, address, loan number, amount and term of the loan, insurer of title and any other pertinent information regarding the lender and the same for each servicer of the lender 's loan, including the date of servicing. 

I am presently in contact with Chase regarding its involvement in this matter and it has already admitted to complicity and liability. I am seeking information regarding XXXX XXXX complicity in this matter on any level and would appreciate your full and unrestrained cooperation in that regard. 

I appreciate your time
