Consumer complaint received 2024-10-06 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Reverse mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Paying off the loan
Company: MUTUAL OF OMAHA MORTGAGE, LLC
State: ME

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I took out a Reverse Mortgage with Mutual of Omaha. I have been making payments on it to keep the loan from spiraling out of control.

I am not able to make payments on the principal. All my payments pretty much keep the interest on the loan from going any higher, but the loan has never decreased.

Every month the loan has about {$1500.00} in interest added to it plus the MIP. Nearly every month, I pay {$2000.00} on it. That payment gets applied to the interest, then to the MIP, then ( supposedly ) to the principal. 

For instance, on XX/XX/XXXX, I made a {$2000.00} payment to the loan. 
{$1800.00} was applied to the interest. 
{$110.00}. XXXX was applied to the MIP. 
Nothing was applied to the principal. 

I have been told I will never be able to request any of my payment be applied to principal only. I must pay off all the interest, then the MIP. Only then will payments be applied to the principal. However, as far as I can tell, that will never ever happen because interest is added to the loan every month and the payment I send in is eaten up by the interest that must be paid first. 

I have paid over {$16000.00} on the loan this year. As far as I can tell not XXXX XXXX  was applied to the principal. 

When I ask how much interest there is left on the loan I am told no one knows. They tell me to stop paying on it because it is a Reverse Mortgage. I know what kind of a mortgage it is, but I can't believe the design of this mortgage will keep me from ever being able to pay even a dime on the principal. Is that really what HUD intended? HUD wants the bank to be so protected that the homeowner can never make a dent in the principal when paying down the loan? It all seems unethical. 

I would appreciate any help or wisdom you could offer me. Many thanks.

Company: Sunlight Financial LLC

Complaint narrative:
I've made several attempts since XX/XX/XXXX requesting that CRB/Sunlight/Launch update the trade line with the credit bureaus. Initially, they reported the trade line twice. As per my request, they had one removed a couple months later. However, the remaining trade line has not been updated, despite many requests to do so, since XX/XX/XXXX thus inflating the outstanding loan balance. Each time I bring it to their attention I am told that it may take up to 60 days. It is nearly 120 days since I was last informed of this without any update. I am planning to take out a HELOC in the upcoming months and this is having an adverse effect on my credit data.

Complaint narrative:
Ok i have a citi bank account and they now have locked my account twice for no reason like one minute i can use card next i cant then when i call customer serivce and provide them my information they can access my account then they transfer me over to a fraud department which makes no sense how they handle things cause they ask to provide a number to verify account and when i give them the same number connected to my account they say it cant be verified but when logging in my app it sends me a text message to log in. So they just doesnt add up and im also sure it vioaltes multiple banking laws. Cause if your not able to verify number they make you wait 5 dsys for a letter with reference number so your not allowed to access your money till then so they illegally withold your money cause once the letter arrives all they want is the reference number then its unlocked. You would think after the first time it happens they would make a note of it in the system but they dont. And it seems im not the only person to have this issue with citi and that means this is a problem that needs to be fixed. We do not bow down to any banks we are free americans and im not going to allow citi or anyone to openly violate my rights as a free person. If the number i give is same number already on my account that i use to log in then by law they have to allow it to pass verification. Cant pick and choose what you want the number to be good enough for. Its either all or nothing so i want this fixed and dont want to have to deal with it again and if not i want the consumer finance protection bureau to file a class action lawsuit on behalf of the people cause thats why the CFPB was estabmished by congress just for reasons like this

Despite multiple dispute attempts the CRA 's continue to incorrectly report inaccurate and misleading information to my consumer report, specifically the listed charged-off account ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. The account was CLOSED XX/XX/XXXX and is actively reporting " last activity '' of XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

This information is in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and is adversely affecting my credit profile. The continued reporting of this account as charged off with a remaining balance is not only inaccurate but also misleading. The Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) clearly defines a charged-off account as XXXX with no remaining balance, in addition too, becoming TAXABLE INCOME to the consumer. To which I have never received any XXXX. The CRA 's action in reporting this account with a balance constitutes a violation of the FCRA by providing false, misleading, and unverifiable information. 

Furthermore, the inclusion of these accounts on my credit report without my explicit consent is a clear violation of my privacy rights. The FCRA mandates that consumer reporting agencies, such as ( XXXX, XXXX, Equifax ) have a duty to protect consumer information and ensure its accuracy. The CRAs actions in this matter represent a blatant disregard for these regulations. By reporting inaccurate and misleading information about me, the CRA 's have caused significant harm to my credit standing, limiting my access to credit and financial opportunities. This is a direct result of their ( XXXX, XXXX, Equifax ) negligence and failure to adhere to the FCRA. I demand the immediate deletion of the aforementioned charged-off account from my credit report. 

Additionally, I reserve the right to pursue all available legal remedies, including but not limited to monetary damages, for the harm caused by the CRAs violations of the FCRA. I have attached a copy of my credit report for your reference. I expect a timely response to this dispute, including written confirmation of the accounts deletion from my credit report. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
