Consumer complaint received 12/14/2015 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (MD).
Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting report or credit score

Complaint: I received a letter from US Office of Personnel Management stating I was a target of malicious cyber intrusion, therefore qualify for credit and identity monitoring services. 
I went to there website XXXX provided by ID Expert. I pulled up the XXXX credit bureaus report and noticed Equifax was once again reporting inaccurate information in regards to my credit to debit ratio. As of XXXX/XXXX/15 Equifax is reporting my revolving credit usage at 74 % which is inaccurate my revolving credit usage is currently at 50 %. Equifax is refusing to provide an explanation in regards to how they are coming up with 74 %. Both XXXX and XXXX XXXX are showing the correct figure 50 %. Equifax is showing my revolving credit limit at {$15000.00}, the correct revolving credit limit is {$22000.00}. 
Due to my race XXXX XXXX Equifax is purposely lowering my credit score by not reporting the correct credit to debit ratios. I have filed numerous complaints with your organization against Equifax in regards to this practice and to date CFPB is refusing to take action on behalf of the consumer and provide protection against Equifax discriminatory practices of intentionally lowering the credit scores of XXXX XXXX. 
Therefore, I will also have to file a complaint with the White House in regards to CFPB refusal to provide assistance to stop this practice.

Consumer complaint received 01/13/2017 about Mortgage (VA mortgage) with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE (FL).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I am a XXXX veteran of the XXXX on a fixed income. I proudly served my country as a XXXX, and was able to take advantage of the government VA loan program to purchase my home in 1998. I am contacting you to file a complaint against my current mortgage company Nationstar, who is pushing me into foreclosure. The problem started when the loan ( which was originally with XXXX ) went to XXXX XXXX XXXX after XXXX went out of business. I had an affordable payment and escrow set up and had no problems. However, after XXXX got involved they decided that they had to have their own insurance on the loan which was much more expensive. They essentially made me switch to their force placed insurance. Being on fixed income this created a problem for me. I hung on for quite some time and tried to get XXXX to accept my insurance but they refused ; it did not make any sense because that insurance had been fine for over 10 years. It seemed like XXXX XXXX XXXX was getting a kickback or something by pushing me to change. 

Eventually the well was dry and I started missing mortgage payments and the loan went to Nationstar. I have been trying to get Nationstar to review me for help. They told me that they could not help me because my income was just a little short. So I decided we would rent out a room in our house in order to qualify for help with this loan. I have since been trying to get Nationstar to take a look at our current financial situation but have not made any progress. They do not seem interested in helping me, I talk to a different person every time and nothing has happened since I told them that I have a higher income. It seems to me that they are more interested in foreclosure instead of trying to work this out with me. I feel that I deserve better, and I know that there are government programs set up to assist vets with VA loans and I believe I qualify but Nationstar is not giving me a chance.

Consumer complaint received 10/31/2015 about Debt collection (Credit card) with Pressler & Pressler, LLP (NY).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: I got a letter from Pressler and Pressler. They claim I owe a debt of XXXX. I requested validation immediately. This debt is not mine and I know they have no proof but the letter and my rights say i must request validation. I sent the request certified mail to XXXX XXXX. recipient did not print name on card. I got some strange looking copies of documents. They claimed to be court transcripts from XX/XX/XXXX. I had never seen these before. There was no court appearance date. I was never served a subpoena or sent anything through registered or certified mail. Even if this debt was mine, which it is not, this would be a lack of due service. you cant just SAY someone owes you a bunch of money and have no proof. I was also given a credit card number I never had. I sent a restricted mailing to XXXX XXXX. The signature was again illegible on the return card. I advised him the documents he sent were not proof of any debt owed to them by myself. I then got another letter telling me of alleged debt to which I am advised to send another validation letter within 30 days or debt will be considered valid. How many times will I have to do this? I believe they are trying to get a default judgement but the debt is not mine. If the debt was mine, which it is not, I feel i should have heard about it long ago since on the paper i was sent it says the last payment was XX/XX/XXXX. Why am I suddenly getting letters from this place now? I realize they are a junk debt buyer but I never had this credit card they say I did. If they could prove otherwise I would not be complaining against them obviously. I feel I will be inundated with mailings from them until i get sick of it and give up. I do not wish to give up because I DO NOT owe these people any money but they are legally allowed to continue to use my name as leverage to try to obtain money that is not theirs.

Consumer complaint received 09-11-2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CO).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: I have asked Wells Fargo many times to stop the solicitation of offers. This has been very distressing to my wife and I because all we want to do is make our mortgage payment and ensure it is applied correctly. The first complaint that was submitted to the CFPB on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX had the same problem listed. Wells Fargo agreed on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to discontinue all solicitations within 60 days. It is now past 60 days and I am having problems navigating the website because the first thing I see is solicitations. I open my mailed mortgage statement and there is solicitation paper that falls out for credit card offer. On my mortgage statement there are 3 additional offers. These include an offer for a new mortgage, an offer to refinance my mortgage, and an offer to buy home and auto insurance. 

The payments that I make are very confusing to understand if they are applied correctly and on time. On my mortgage statement once I am able to get through all of the offers I see 2 lines for 1 payment. I have no trust with Wells Fargo because each person advises me differently and Wells Fargo does not follow through with their promises.
Wells Fargo refuses to talk to me on the phone since my phone automatically records all phone calls. This is a problem because I have to wait 10+ business days for a response by mail. Many of these responses I have been promised have never been received. The responses that are received are never followed through with such as removing solicitations in 60 days. The last time I spoke to Wells Fargo on the phone I was advised that I should pay past the due date to accommodate their payment logic. I am worried that Wells Fargo is going to foreclose on my house since they will not speak to me on the phone and is advising me to pay past the due date. 
Complaints with the CFPB have seemed to be ineffective.

Consumer complaint received 09-06-2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (AZ).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: This is the XXXX time I am contacting the CFPB in an effort to assist with my short sale. I have ha an active office into Chase since the end of XX/XX/XXXX. It is now the beginning of XX/XX/XXXX. 
Over the last five months my husband and I have provided every piece of information requested promptly and have attempted to help this process move along. 
As of XXXX we had not received any update from Chase for close to two months, at which time we submitted a CFPB complaint. XXXX XXXX from their Executive Office contacted me within two days. After some back and forth she advised me our file was " lost '' within underwriting and it had stalled their for 30 unnecessary days. She assured me the file had now moved on to the next step and she would assist us throughout the remainder of our process. 
At this time, I have left XXXX messages for XXXX, none have been returned. The last time we spoke was toward the end of XX/XX/XXXX. I called the Executive line and attempted to speak with anyone, but I was told only XXXX could assist me. The gentlemen I spoke with said he would email her and CC her manager with a request to call me back ... That was the beginning of XXXX. No word from XXXX. 
My file moved to a negotiator, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX he spoke with my realtor advising we needed a new evaluation on the property. This have been completed but now XXXX is advising that our file has been pulled into some mysterious internal audit. He is very cryptic stating he does not know what the audit is for, why it was pulled and that he nor his manager can speed it along. I have spoken to XXXX XXXX times within the last ten days, each time he states he expects the file that day. 
My husband and I did not make the decision to short sale lightly. It was with a heavy heart that we realized we could not maintain the home or provided the needed repairs due to it 's age. We wanted to do the right thing my completing a short sale versus just foreclosing. However, Chase is prolonging this process at every turn and almost seemingly forcing us into foreclosure after months of negative credit reporting due to their poor internal processes. 
My husband and I have been maintaining utilities on this property and general maintenance since we moved in XXXX. With it now being XXXX, this is becoming a large financial and emotional burden on our family. 
All I am asking for is your assistance in finalizing this short sale process. I have called every number available to me and get no where. Again, please acknowledge that even the individual assigned to assist me in the Executive Office has failed to maintain contact. 
Please, any assistance you can provide in finalizing this process once and for all would be welcome. I am fearful this buyer will walk if the process goes on much longer.

Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Complaint: We got a little behind on a loan after being good customers for over a year. They served us and we paid them in cash the court costs and the payments to get caught up ( this was XX/XX/2015 ). A week later they say we are behind we call repeatedly to try and determine what is going on. They refuse to take our calls and hang up when we give our name. In XX/XX/XXXX they claim they are taking us back to court and I write them a letter to call my mother because they refuse to take our calls. The agreement was {$75.00} every two weeks. Total amount owed court costs included was supposedly {$1400.00}?? this was verbally given they refused to give us anything in writing and they refused to give us the corporate number. XXXX the local manager was difficult to work with. No missed payments between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX {$900.00} paid. Called for pay off and were told {$990.00}??. Called another store to get manager 's name and number. XXXX XXXX called claiming that she was the manager but she called from XXXX store. She will not listen she claims we owe {$640.00} and the {$350.00} in fees. She claims her employees would never be dishonest and if we had paid on time it would not have come to this. Ignoring the multiple attempts to make arrangements that they would not answer.

Consumer complaint received 09-05-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NJ).
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due

Complaint: I was astonished once I viewed my XXXX, XXXX and XXXX credit reports and found that I was reported as having a late payment on the date below : 30 days past due as of XXXX 2016 I  already disputed this with the credit bureaus and they verified it as being accurate. I am not sure how this occurred, I believe that I had made my payments to you on time when I received my statements. My only thought is that my monthly statement did not get to me or maybe an error occurred where it was n't recorded on time.

Consumer complaint received 04/22/2016 about Mortgage (VA mortgage) with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE (VA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: Nationstar Mortgage , LLC purchased my mortgage from XXXX XXXX ( DBA XXXX XXXX XXXX ). Due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to slide the mortgage payment one month. After almost a year, I have not been able to resolve the payment with Nationstar. They continuously hold extra payments in suspense and misapply those payments. They are charging late fees inside of the 30 day grace period allowed by my mortgage contract. They send a letters continuously threatening foreclosure, even though I am currently less than one month behind. I have requested a face-to-face meeting for arbitration several times and they have failed to come to the table. I am fed up with their predatory practices. Any calls to formalize the catchup process in a written agreement have been met with resistance from Nationstar. It seems they are more interested in dragging the process along so they may unjustly enrich themselves at my expense.
