Consumer complaint received 06/13/2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE (TX).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Transaction HistoryI have an FHA loan, that was originated by XXXX XXXX XXXX, with an escrow account, which was established during the proceedings of the loan. The escrow was a requirement for disbursement of the loan. A schedule of financial disbursement from the escrow account was also within the loans associated paperwork. The loan was finalized on XX/XX/XXXX. My loan was then sold to Nationstar Mortgage and my first payment to Nationstar was recorded as XX/XX/XXXX. The next scheduled disbursement from my escrow to my insurance provider was to take place XX/XX/XXXX. 

The IssueThe funds allotted within my escrow for my home owners insurance/hazard insurance where never disbursed to the agency on the scheduled date. Nationstar continued to collect escrow payments for the months of XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX with out disbursing the funds to my insurance provider. When my insurance was canceled due to " Lack of payment '' in XX/XX/XXXX Nationstar then within that same month purchased Force-Lender insurance through XXXX that same month. I lost my homeowners insurance policy and had to pay a considerably higher premium for the Forced-Lender insurance provided by XXXX. 

Other FactorsI thought that under the Real Estate Settlement Act - Section 6 it was the responsibility of the mortgagor to distribute funds to the insurance agency in a timely manner in order to retrain the current policy. 

I can also do not understand how my mortgagor after not paying the insurance agency from my escrow could justify purchasing an insurance policy with such a substantially higher premium that exceeds that of any major provider. More especially so given the fact that Nationstars affiliated and/or subsidiary organization XXXX XXXX XXXX allegedly receives incentives from XXXX for placing borrowers on there insurance policies.

Consumer complaint received 08-11-2015 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (DC).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Complaint: Equifax, and only Equifax, not XXXX and not XXXX filed an collection item on my credit report that ( i ) belonged to someone with the same first name but a different last name, XXXX ii XXXX belonged to someone on a state in which I have never lived and XXXX iii ) did not have a correlating social security number. In addition, they added that person 's name and address to my credit. I received notice of this from a credit monitoring service I use. This item caused my credit score to fall from XXXX to XXXX with Equifax and from XXXX to XXXX with FICO. 

I contacted the creditor, confirmed that they did not provide a social security number to the credit reporting agency and notified them of the error. I also filed a dispute with Equifax and a notice with XXXX and XXXX of the false information Equifax was reporting and the issue. Equifax investigated and removed the false name, address and and item from my credit report. HOWEVER, they failed to restore my credit score to what it had been prior to their error. 

I sent a letter requesting that they restore my credit score. They did not. 

I then called them in an effort to address the issue. This was an extremely frustrating experience in which the agent just stated the same thing over and over and failed to address my issues or concerns. They made me pay and wait two weeks to find out via mail what they restored my score to. I just received the information via mail, which confirmed that they had NOT restored my credit score to the proper number. My credit score should be XXXX, not XXXX as stated on the report I was forced to pay for. 

I think that Equifax operates in a manner that is unethical and, essentially, a racket against consumers in this respect by ( i ) allowing unsupported, unsubstantiated and clearly erroneous negative information to be filed on the incorrect person 's credit report and XXXX ii ) requiring the victim of this to then either pay them for their credit score or pay to join their program in order for the victim to confirm that they have been fully restored and made whole. I would like my credit score restored to what it was prior to Equifax 's erroneous actions.

Consumer complaint received 03/19/2017 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (RI).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: XXXX, RI XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Bank of America XXXX, FL XXXX To whom it may concern : Just reported this again to XXXX at our local XXXX news desk but wanted to message your bank again as well. Also reported this to my contact at XXXX. in XXXX, MA named XXXX at XXXX or XXXX. 

A company hired me on XXXX pretending to be XXXX. for a supposed work-at-home position doing payroll from two email addresses still in operation online as well as XXXX at XXXX and XXXX. XXXX from the real company advised about 20 other people had been affected by and reported to her the same cyber scam and corresponding email addresses in several different states. XXXX also reported this to their local XXXX, MA police. We reported this to our RI state police. 

This fraudulent company hiring sent me XXXX consecutive checks supposedly out of XXXX via XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. The first check for almost XXXXUSD cleared at my Bank of America ATM and XXXX had me transfer the funds to a XXXX account out of XXXX, CA for XXXX vendor materials to XXXX account number XXXX. 

It was only after two more checks each for almost XXXXXXXXUSD each were sent to me via XXXX and deposited that BOA informed me the checks were not real and froze my bank account. Now, despite my repeated calls with about 10 BOA representatives reporting the cyber fraud as reported here in my email, BOA refuses to talk to the back office of the XXXX account where the funds initially went and are trying to hold me responsible for the phony XXXX check and transferred funds. 

Similarly, the back office of XXXX out of XXXX, CA refuses to talk to me as I am not the account holder even though I transferred the funds into the account there. Needless to say, this kind of scam is a big deal and I think a nice expose and perhaps and hopefully further investigation would do some justice here. Hope to hear from you. Your help is greatly appreciated. Please let me know. Have a great day. 

Thanks very much, XXXX 
Checking account number XXXX

Consumer complaint received 08/27/2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with Ditech Financial LLC (NJ).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I have tried unsuccessfully to do a home mortgage modification with Green Tree Servicing. I have submitted all the documentation multiple times and confirmed that the documentation was successfully submitted only to have the company come back and say that they closed the loan application because of lack of documentation. In the last instance, they contacted me and I requested my representative to contact me as she already confirmed that she received everything. In XXXX weeks and XXXX messages later, I still have not gotten a callback and I found out that she closed the file again. This seems systematic or just general incompetence.

Sub-issue: Can't decrease my monthly payments

Complaint: I enrolled at the XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX and have somehow racked over {$28000.00} in federal student loans for a diploma! I never was able to finish the program because of the lack of communication I received from the finincial aid depatrtment explaining to me all the charges that seem to be racking up.

I was duped by this school and whomever was getting a commission of 'recruiting ''. I was misled. 

Also Navient approved my IBR at {$0.00} from XXXX to XXXX but is still billing me the loan amount thus devastating the little credit I have. The also sent me a letter on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that it is time to renew my IBR by XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, a month later.

Consumer complaint received 06/21/2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (VA).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Complaint: Equifax has to be one of the worst, incompetent, lazy, lying companies on the face of the earth! I have been trying for almost a year now to clear up some obvious mistakes that they have made on my credit report and despite clear evidence of their errors they are refusing to do anything other than give me a hard time. There is an account with XXXX that needs to be removed because I have no idea where this came from and the other XXXX bureaus have removed it so why dont they? This is also the case for the XXXX XXXX accounts, why would Equifax keep them on when XXXX and XXXX have removed them? XXXX has a 30 day late in XX/XX/XXXX that should have been removed by now. XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX have been paid so why does it still report? I dont owe them any money so it doesnt make sense that they should continue to harm my score right? XXXX shows a late date in XXXX that should have been removed by now and there are XXXX random collection from XXXX XXXX XXXX that I have no recognition of. XXXX and XXXX have refused all of my requests for validation and I feel that at this point it should be assumed that they have no proof because it has been so long. And to top it all off, Equifax is reporting a UNKNOWN account with no name, no creditor name and absolutely no way for me to get in touch with said company so how am i supposed to even pay them? I dont even think I owe the debt let alone be expected to pay my hard earned money to UNKNOWN!

Consumer complaint received 01/18/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (VA).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint: I reached out to Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX several times regarding unauthorized credit accounts, incorrect information, and unauthorized Credit Inquiries in all my 3 Credit Reports. I 've been given the run around with all 3 Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX, and their workers/Supervisors. I reached out also directly to the companies who 's information is listed in my Credit Report. They have me on hold for hours at a time trying to get this resolved. Then im being forwarded again back to the Credit Bureau to resolve the issue. They have a total of 3-6 fraudulent accounts in my report and 15 unauthorized & fraudulent inquiries in my report. I had place a credit fraud alert on my credit reports. And it was apparently useless. Because I was never notified by the Bureaus of these unauthorized accounts and/or inquiries being initiated and opened up in my Reports. Transunion also had a computer glitch. Which they inserted and reinserted these inquiries in my report. Again, I was never notified about this.

Consumer complaint received 04-11-2016 about Consumer Loan (Installment loan) with M&T BANK CORPORATION (NY).
Issue: Taking out the loan or lease

Complaint: I had a boat loan with M & T bank and was making on time payments. I received a letter from them stating the loan had matured XX/XX/XXXX and I owed a Principle balance of XXXX and late payments of about {$2700.00}. They never sent me anything previously and I was making on time payments at the time payments that they were stealing them and putting towards the late payments. Because they stated I could no longer make payments, I had to pay the balance off. This caused the 60 delinquency which shows on my credit report for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Further, they refused to let me pay off the principle of {$820.00}, stating they would take nothing but the full amount, principle and late fee, which I had disputed several times and do not agree with. They forced me to make a deal to pay off the principle and half the late fee or else they would continue to report this as delinquent every month. Again, I was making on time payments and have no idea how they could say the loan matured and force me to pay not only the principle but late fees I do not believe I owe.Please find the bill they sent me XX/XX/XXXX which only had the principle on it and find the release which is dated in XX/XX/XXXX, but they state I made no payment that month even though I paid them {$2100.00}, much of it that I do not feel I owed. I only paid it because they threatened me with continuing late payment charges, late payment reporting to the credit bureaus and then repossessing the boat. All threats they made to me and told me my only option was to settle the account.

Consumer complaint received 05-12-2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with U.S. BANCORP (OH).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I got behind on my mortgage payments. When I was able to make my payment and add additional monies to the payment, US Bank would accept my payments monthly and would return my check. They stated they needed the amount in arears paid in full, they would not accept as they called, partial payments. My mortgage got farther and farther behind because US Bank would not accept any money from me at all. Who does that? Meanwhile my credit rating has totally been ruined. When I was able to pay the arears amount in full, US Bank gave me the dollar amount I owed. I sent the check only to find out on my next month 's payment that they would not accept it because they said they mis-figured the arears amount and said I owed an additional amount. That totally was and is not my fault. The next issue is I want to sell the house. US Bank gave me an appraisal amount, my realtor gave me an appraisal amount which they are close. Then US Bank sends another appraiser and the appraisal went up {$27000.00}!!! I was advised of this after I put my house on the market. This bank does not and will not work with their mortgage holders.
