Consumer complaint received 07/20/2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with U.S. BANCORP (TN).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I had an FHA loan at US Bank that was paid off on XXXX XXXX 2015. On paying the loan off on the XXXX XXXX instead of XXXX XXXX I was charged {$1000.00} interest fee. I spoke to US Bank in regards to this and was informed that they were unwilling to refund the charge of {$1000.00} even though the interest charged was the EXACT same day as the loan was paid off. I feel that a {$1000.00} charge for paying off a mortgage loan 2 days into the month is, for better words, a scam.

Consumer complaint received 01-08-2016 about Mortgage (Home equity loan or line of credit) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: To Whom It May Concern : I received an unsolicited request to modify my HELOC loan at Bank of America. I signed loan documents in XXXX 2015 effective XXXX 2015 and first payment date XXXX XXXX, 2015. My loan has still not been boarded on the BofA system which I understand is a CFPB and RESPA servicing violation. 
I 've been diligently working with BofA to get this corrected, but to no avail. I 'm told that the issue is that when I signed loan documents BofA 's system automatically generated the wrong date on the Clarity Commitment document. I 've asked for the corrected document and they refuse to send it stating it must be system generated and there is a glitch in the system. 
In the meantime, BofA instructed me to make and continue making the payment based on the new loan modification documents. Since their system does not recognize the new payments they continually send me late payment notices and continue to tell me to ignore them and make payment based on the signed loan docs. Now I have mortgage lates on my credit report and BofA is non-responsive. 

I 'm told that the situation is not unique and this situation effects many consumers. 

I 'm respectfully requesting your help.

Consumer complaint received 01-07-2018 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with Statebridge Company (MD).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: The original principal amount of the mortgage in XX/XX/XXXX was {$530000.00}, as at XX/XX/XXXX when Statebridge took over, the monthly payment was {$3600.00} and was for the 30 yr term, we were behind on payment for couple of months and the outstanding was added to the principal balance. Statebridge did a loan modification, and extended the term to 40 yrs, so instead of a maturity date of XX/XX/XXXX, it was extended by 13 yrs to XX/XX/XXXX. They gave us a supposed relieve to $ 2604 monthly payment for 5 yrs and then {$3600.00} for the remaining 35 yrs at an higher interest rate, which is a rip off. Also the " the interest rate will reset to rate of the original note is ambiguous and deceiving, because even though the rate at origination of the loan was 5.95, XXXX XXXX had reduced the rate to 4.95. Statebridge made us believe they were helping us with modifying the loan but they actually hurting us on the long run, this is a sharp practice that needs to be investigated, the loan has been sold many times afterwards fro profit at our detriment, now they new service XXXX XXXX was us to start paying {$3600.00} at a rate of 5.95 instead of 4.95 as received by Statebridge for the remaining 35 yrs. If we had understood the implication of what they made us sign we would not have signed their deceptive loan modification in XX/XX/XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 06/17/2016 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MO).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

Complaint: Transunion should not be allowed to " Rubber Stamp '' my dispute with the company 's response. Of course, the mortgage company is going to say they are correct. I provided payment history to Transunion for the entire loan showing my payments were made and not 30 days late. This issue started with a minor dispute of my escrow account that XXXX XXXX ignored and they did not provide communication or statements. I contacted them numerous time by phone. This MINOR correction snowballed as XXXX was charging enormous and erroneous charges to my account. These were not even allowed if you read my loan contract. XXXX XXXX probably owes me $ XXXX. I went through proper channels with XXXX to no avail even though their President acknowledged their mistakes. They started foreclosure proceedings doing monthly inspections even though they received payment each and every month as well as I was in contact with them by email and telephone several times per month. They did not send anything in writing stating they were beginning these proceedings - also against the RESPA laws. Transunion has documentation from XXXX 's President saying they would reverse charges. I expressly inquired to XXXX if they had corrected my credit. They did not and should have. I have had bank mortgage personnel review my payments to XXXX and they were so messed up, confusing and convoluted the PROFESSIONALS could not reconcile my loan!!! WOW! 
Transunion 's response to my dispute - " We have reviewed your complaint along with the information you previously provided regarding this issue. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX was notified of your disputes. In response to the investigations, the disputed information was verified Mortgage Loan Number Loan # XXXX have contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX. According to their records, the late payment history reflecting for XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX is accurately reporting for XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX. '' XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, OK XXXX My original dispute to Transunion " XXXX XXXX has erroneously reported my credit 30 days late for nine months beginning XXXX, XXXX through XXXX, XXXX ( sold house XXXX, XXXX ). '' I disputed this directly with XXXX XXXX numerous times over the past two years, and I also contacted Transunion to dispute this information. Transunion 's response was " XXXX, XXXX XXXX ''. 
XXXX Mortgage even had their attorney send me correspondence telling me to quit contacting them or anyone else regarding my credit reporting, after I have them a bad review on Oklahoma 's XXXX site. Really? That is XXXX. XXXX XXXX, in my opinion, is a group of " Thieves ''. I have seen numerous other disputes from their customers similar to mine.

Consumer complaint received 09-08-2017 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: On XXXX XXXX, I was informed about the security breach suffered by Equifax. Per several news articles, Equifax apparently suffered this breach in XXXX, and I was not informed by the company of this breach. I only learned about it via secondhand sharing of a news article regarding the breach. Equifax has yet to inform me of the damages suffered or the causes of the breach by any means ( physical mailing/telephone message/email ), or that it has even occurred. 

I feel that Equifax failed to perform its due diligence in keeping my records secure after I suffered a previous security breach via the IRS, and it has failed to inform affected victims of the breach in a timely manner. 

Please accept this complaint as a censure of Equifax 's operations and leadership, as news articles report several of their higher placed corporate officers stand accused of moving stock after the breach but before reporting the breach 's occurence.
