I also have several mortgages for rental properties and real property I own outright. A vast port folio you can say. 
That being said, I usually pull my credit reports ( all XXXX ) every 3 months faithfully to stay on top on any issues that may arise. Needless to say I neglected to do so 4 months ago and so when I pulled it 30 days ago, I saw these credit accounts dangerously delinquent and the reason that I was told did n't make since. On around early part of XXXX I called customer service to find out why and spoke to XXXX, I believe, and he stated that the charges were due to residual interest.

Consumer complaint received 11-03-2017 about Debt collection (Credit card debt) with ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (MD).
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Complaint: I attempted to reach out to Midland Credit Management to settle a debt that is in collection. The debt is originally from XXXX and was charged off by XXXX at {$3500.00}. MCM is attempting to collect for {$5800.00} at this time. I was not in a financial position to pay before, but, now, I am able to afford to reach some sort of settlement with them, so I reached out to MCM. I advised them that I had {$1800.00} on hand at this time to pay off the amount if we could reach that agreement. They advised that they would not accept that amount and said the only amount for a lump sum they would agree to is {$4100.00}. I explained that due to financial circumstances I could not afford this. I inquired as to why the amount could not be lowered since several months prior I had received a letter stating that I could pay off the amount for 40 % what was owed. I was told that this offer was expired and the lump sum payment would again be {$4100.00}. I asked if I was able to get a little more money together if we could reach an agreement but they refused this. They stated that paperwork had been filed with my local district court by their attorney. I did a search of the court records and found no case or file associate with myself within the district court system. I 'm not sure if this was a move to place me under duress to pay the amount they wanted me to pay or not. I asked MCM several times to provide me copies of the legal documents they said they sent to the district court, but they refused stating that it was not in their company policy to provide such paperwork.

Consumer complaint received 04-12-2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with MOHELA (VT).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX I began XXXX school with a unsubsidized and subsidized loan. I was counting on Public Service Loan Forgiveness via the XX/XX/XXXX College Cost Reduction Act. Shortly after graduating, my loan was sold or transferred from XXXX to Aspire. I was set up on a " level '' payment plan- {$490.00} a month. I called Aspire repeatedly to make sure I was on-track for PSLF. Aspire 's phone staff/loan counselors assured me repeatedly year after year that I was on the right track and I just needed to keep making payments. At one point I had even inquired about income based rates and had been told if I deviated from the level plan I was on, I would lose loan forgiveness. In XX/XX/XXXX, my loan was transferred to XXXX. XXXX informed be that no payments I had made would be eligible for the PSLF, despite what Aspire told me. I called Aspire who tells me they shredded all my docs and everything went to XXXX, other than that they conveniently have no record of me. I am now out 10s of thousands of dollars that never went toward PSLF and I have to start all over again! I have paid approximately $ 40K! Had I been on an income based plan, I would have paid a faction of that before I was paid off. Aspire misled me and is now trying to pass the buck to XXXX. XXXX helped me by being truthful. Aspire misled me and cost me years and money! This is wrong!

Consumer complaint received 01/16/2018 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: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint: I have multiple credit inquiries on my account that were not authorized nor did the reporting companies have my consent to run my credit. I even have a few companies that reportedly pulled my credit report multiple times within a time span of 3-7 days. In XX/XX/XXXX I was searching for a new vehicle and I because I knew how dealerships worked, I specifically told the salesman at XXXX XXXX to only run my credit ONCE with the one lender that would give me the best rate based off my income and the range of the credit score I provided. My car is financed through XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. Once I was able to receive a copy of my report I immediately saw they did exactly the opposite and ran my credit report through multiple companies, WITHOUT MY CONSENT. Around that same time I did also call XXXX to inquire about vehicles and the process and that company also ran my credit, reporting in multiple inquiries, without my consent. I contacted the credit bureaus to have them delete the inaccurate information and they told me to contact the companies that reported the inquiry. When I contacted the different companies they told to contact the credit bureaus to have the information removed. I once again called all three credit reporting bureaus but this time was told that inquiry are a " factual request of my credit information '' and therefore could not be deleted, whether I gave my consent or not. I also told them that in between the years of XXXXXX/XX/XXXXmajority of my inquires had indeed fell off due to a system error and breech but were illegally placed back on my report. I told the companies that by law they had 5 business days to notify me of such activity and they apologized for the system error but still refused to delete the inaccurate information.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Having problems with customer service

Complaint: I had a school loan with Fed Servicing that was bought buy them, I was in the middle of a medical discharge of my school loans. My loans were discharged in XXXX and all my loans are in good standing on all XXXX credit reports except with Fed Loan servicing. They claim I was sixty days late with my loans, and they were in the discharge process and were not to be considered late, my loans were bought and sold 3 times and all XXXX of them are listed as negative on all of the XXXX credit reports. I started to dispute this back in XXXX when I noticed this company put the XXXX loans on all three credit reports. I even contacted DOE and and they said I had to contact Fed Loan and I did and they told me to print out a dispute credit form and send all documents to them and they would fix it, Because on information on the DOE website it says if loans are discharged any negative information on your credit reports will be removed. That is aside from my loans were under protection while in the discharge process at the time. So I sent the dispute to Fed Loan and I got a letter back telling me they looked over documents and are " NOT '' changing the negative standing on my XXXX credit reports. So I called them again and asked why and they said nothing they can do, if I wanted to submit the documents again. I told them NO and that I was reporting them for not following Federal law.

Consumer complaint received 12-05-2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX, HUD Housing Specialist, tel # XXXX, ticket # XXXX informed us this morning that this Borrower does not qualify for the FHA Preforeclosure Sales Program due to the delinquency of over 43 months. She stated that this was a Bank of America error. She stated that it was up to the lender whether or not they would accept or reject a pending offer. 

No one from Bank of America has ever advised or disclosed this information to us or the Borrower. In fact, the information that was given us was that it was HUD that would not allow the postponement of the scheduled Trustee Sale scheduled on XXXX XXXX. No one from Bank of America has offered any " other '' Short Sale programs that the Borrower may qualify for. Compounding the problem is that we have 2 appraisals with a significant difference in value. 

Due to this oversight, we request that the sale be postponed. We are submitting a new all cash offer for {$250000.00} today. We request that this offer be considered for a HAFA short sale or any other alternative short sale. But, we need time to properly prepare the Closing Documents based on whatever program the Borrower qualifies for. 
Any consideration less than this would not be in good faith due to the discovery of this oversight. Please escalate this to the highest level. Thank you!

Consumer complaint received 07/16/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with CITIBANK, N.A. (MA).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint: I have a credit card account with Citibank ending  XXXX . For three times Citibank decreased my credit limit, to approach my debit balance. My credit reports from all the credit bureaus show a good standing for all credit cards at all banks. I have never been late for my payment, and always pay almost ten times the due amount ( see attached report of  XXXX  ). When I started the account, Citibank determined my credit limit, and based on this, I could make a balance transfer, which I am paying each month, to avoid any interest accrued. However, because Citibank decreased my credit limit, this had a negative impact on my credit score, and hence Citibank decreased my credit limit as my credit score lowered, which occurred for three times. This attitude of Citibank has never happened with any other bank.
If a bank has the right to make his own policy, the bank does not have the right to abuse the rights of his own customers. Citibank should adhere to preserving the just relation between the customer and the bank, if the customer is at a good standing. Citibank should never work against the customers benefits nor deprecate their good standing out of unsubstantiated reasoning.
