Consumer complaint received 02/27/2017 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with Caliber Home Loans, Inc. (NJ).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: Due to circumstances beyond my control, I filed for chapter XXXX bankruptcy on XX/XX/XXXX. 
On XX/XX/XXXX we met with the trustee, I was told by the chapter XXXX trustee XXXX XXXX that we need to have a loan modification. 

In XX/XX/XXXX we filed documents for a loan mod. It was never reviewed because my attorney, XXXX XXXX XXXX. failed to send a document to the bank, giving permission to negotiate a loan mod. 

My home was scheduled for a sheriff sale on XX/XX/XXXX, When I called the bank, I was informed that I could not file because of the 37 day window. 

I went to court on XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a motion for a stay, I was granted a stay until XX/XX/XXXX. 
Court document is included in my package. 

I then filed a new loan modification packet on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I received a letter from the bank stating that additional documents were needed, I got the documents and uploaded to the bank on XXXX XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted the bank to follow up, at this time I was advised that there was more documentation needed, however the 37 day cut off was XX/XX/XXXX. Yet I was advised on XX/XX/XXXX. 

As of this point, Caliber Home Loans will not review a loan modification because of the cutoff. 
I have been in constant contact with Caliber Home Loans, I have provided all the documents they required, they were sent in a very timely manner, yet now the 37 day cutoff is going to prevent a loan modification and they are going to proceed with the foreclosure and sheriff sale on XX/XX/XXXX. 

This is extremely unfair, I have done all I could on my end. I believe they intentionally stalled the process, so they could foreclose on my home. 

I have all the documents sent to Caliber Home Loans, it is in my opinion that Caliber Home Loans committed fraud upon me.

Consumer complaint received 05-05-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  did n't replying in a timely manner to my letters to date after numorious certified, mail request, they have not only violated federal law, but they have also failed to provide me with a copy of any viable evidence, bearing my signature, showing the account is being reported accurately.     I made numerous goodwill attempt to have them clear up this matter. The listed item is entirely inaccurate and incomplete, and represents a very serious error in there reporting.   I kept a careful record of my communications with them for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC and the Attorney Generals office, they still continued non-compliance of federal laws under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I further remind them that they  may  be liable for your willful non-compliance, as per FD CPA 807. False or misleading representations [ 15 USC 1962e ]   As they have violated federal law, by not properly investigating within the required timeframe, and I have evidence of such, via certified mail receipts, they must now remove the item. Any other action ( or in-action ) on their behalf has resulted in a small claims action against their company in  XXXX   XXXX .     As well they did not place on my credit report that I was disputing the account until just after the lawsuit was filed last month.     I also am preparing lawsuits against  XXXX , Experian &  XXXX  for not investigating nor responding to me as well, and taking no action when  XXXX   XXXX  did not reply.

Consumer complaint received 09-04-2015 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (WI).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

Complaint: It is a long complicated issue. It started with my student loans being refinanced without my permission. Multiple companies have now tried to collect from me on this loan. The new loan conditions are very unfavorable to me and I did not agree to them. Companies and organizations including The department of education, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, And XXXX XXXX have all tried to enforce the terms upon me. In the meantime no one will accept payment from me in the terms that were agreed on. 

When I went to obtain an insurance product I requested a copy of the credit report and disputed information on it. I explained in the dispute this issue, along with others, and told them if they needed documentation to contact me. They did not contact me and did not remove any of the incorrect negative information. 

Just recently I received a letter XXXX that I had placed a fraud alert on my credit report. I did not do this, at least not intentionally. Maybe it was something XXXX did when I filed a dispute with them? There was no number in this letter to call a person, only an automated system to place a longer fraud alert on my file. So i searched for a phone number and found XXXX and finally got a human named XXXX. After I asked if he could help me, he hung up on me. 

So, in summary, I have incorrect information in my credit reports ; a loan out there that was refinanced to unfavorable terms without my permission, and no one who will accept my payments ( I keep getting refund checks ) ; a dispute with XXXX that was not resolved ; a new issue of a fraud alert on my files that no one will discuss with me. 

I have been unable to find any government agency or private agency that can or will help me resolve this snowballing issue. I have called the CFPB before who told me that only the department of education has authority over themselves and it is unlikely they can help. Now it has spread to include private organizations. Private organizations working with a government organization to make the matter worse. Can you help me? If you need any documentation, let me know. I do not know what you need.

Consumer complaint received 04-11-2018 about Mortgage (VA mortgage) with MidAmerica Mortgage Inc (AZ).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: Escrow I have a 30 year fixed, 3.25 % VA loan with P & I monthly @ {$510.00}. 
Someone appears to be defrauding my escrow account as my payments have escalated from $ XXXX/month to over $ XXXX/month in less than 6 months. 
Prior to XX/XX/XXXX my Insurance costs were $ XXXX/year and my monthly payments were {$620.00}. 
My insurance premium is only $ XXXX/year now and I am being billed $ XXXX/month. 
I have asked the company to explain how my insurance premiums ballooned on XX/XX/XXXX when I was already paid and covered from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX.. no one, not even their advocate has explained this to me. I have attached three insurance forms to show something is terribly wrong with my account. 
I have also attached a screenshot of my existing account which is BIZARRE. Please note that I have never missed a payment and that I have NOT been charged a late fee, but they insist on charging me $ XXXX/moth. 
My XXXX should be : {$510.00} + ( T= XXXX/XXXX= XXXX ) + ( I = XXXX/XXXX=XXXX ) = {$640.00}

Consumer complaint received 09/14/2017 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Installment loan) with Big Picture Loans, LLC (LA).
Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan

Complaint: I tried to pay the loan off online on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX and the system would n't allow it as the total amount the system would allow me to pay online was {$1100.00}, but my loan balance was {$1200.00}. Called on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX pm to pay off my balance to be told that they had already processed my 1st ACH payment on the loan ( which was n't due until XX/XX/XXXX ) for {$220.00} and they could n't give me a balance to pay due to the early ACH. I asked to speak to a supervisor, who told me the same thing. I will now be charged the {$220.00} on top of the nearly total balance as this payment goes almost totally to and fees. I was expressly told that I would be able to pay the loan off early, and in this case, I tried to pay the loan off before my 1st payment was supposed to be deducted. Completely unethical behavior.
