Consumer complaint received 2020-11-07 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Hello, XX/XX/2020 my chapter XXXX bankruptcy was discharged and my mortgage was never re-affirmed. 
I made the XX/XX/2020 mortgage, early with payment from 2 different banks via bill pay. 
XXXX XXXX made the decision to get this money to use it for fees related to the re-affirmation that I never signed and that they never offered me to sign. 
XXXX XXXX also chose to get the remaining money to pay extra towards the principle. 
XX/XX/2020 mortgage remained unpaid until recently in which I was able to pay it, again. 
Please keep in mind that my house is not in foreclosure and my mortgage is up to date. 
I am reaching out to you for help as XXXX XXXX chose not to help me after many many many attempts. 
Is this practice usual and customary mortgage practice or even ethical / legal? 
Now I find myself in a bind with a financial institution that chooses what disclosures they send me and which disclosures they do not. 
Now I find myself in a bind with a financial institution that chooses how they disperse funds that I pay, as they deem in their best interest. 
None of my excellent payment history is being reported to credit agencies since I never completed the re-affirmation that was never offered to me by XXXX XXXX. Yet XXXX XXXX is able and willing to quickly charge and collect on funds specifically allocated for the Mortgage. 
Thanks, XXXX

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is for Capitalone. I had missed several payments from the months of XXXX 2020. I had logged into my account to rectify the situation on XX/XX/2020. The amount that was due was indicated to be {$200.00}, which I had paid on XX/XX/XXXX. I then received an email 5 days later indicating that I had a payment due on XX/XX/2020. My complaint is centered around the lack of transparency. To my knowledge, I should have been informed of the total amount due for my next billing date XXXX XX/XX/2020 XXXX after my missed payment was registered in XXXX. I spoke with an agent of Capitalone one XX/XX/2020 and was told that the {$200.00} payment was enough to cover the minimum due. If you missed a payment, the amount that is needed to meet the minimum payment for the nedt billing date should have been available to me to make an informed decision about my payment. Due to financial constraints, I was unable to make that XX/XX/XXXX additional payment because I had only budgeted for the {$200.00} payment that was indicated on my Capitalone account. I spoke with 2 agents from Capitalone one XX/XX/2020 and they were not able to reverse the late fee nor really explain to me why this happened. The gentleman told me that this couldn't possible be a system issue because it would have effected millions of people. So, I feel like they handle their business this way in order to charge more fees on their products. When I went in to make my payment on XX/XX/2020, I should have had the accurate payment amount in order to meet my minimum payment due on XX/XX/2020.

Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have a HSBC credit card ( card number : XXXX ) since XX/XX/XXXX and have been using a checking account on the HSBC credit card profile to pay min balance with no problem every month since XX/XX/XXXX. I decided to pay off my credit card before XX/XX/XXXX so I could avoid interest charged on my credit card so I decided to use the exact checking account on file. 

However, it is showing " processing '' for several business days before it shows it is " RETURNED CHECK '' and I was also charged {$25.00} return fee per transaction. In addition, I need to pay interest on the balance because HSBC decided that the payment is " RETURNED '' even though I have used the exact checking account to pay my credit card for almost 2 years. 

I am very upset about what they did and contacted HSBC several times through online chat and over the phone. Online chat told me the payment is being processed no don't worry about it and over the phone, representative told me that they can't waive the interest on the balance. 

I had no choice but submit the complaint.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute letter to all 3 major credit bureaus several months ago. Unfortunately I have not heard back from them in over 3 months and I still have a lot of inaccurate information on my credit file. I would really like to fix my credit report but have been having the hardest time with the credit companies actually investigating my issues. I tried mailing in my request and didn't get an answer back then I sent it certified and still didn't get an answer back. I know that if the credit companies would just look into my issues I would be able to fix my credit.

I called XXXX about this and was told I needed to contact the company who listed it ... why do I need to do that? It is their responsibility to verify information they are posting on my credit report. They should be able to produce something I signed giving them access and i know I signed nothing of the sort! This is unfair and they have not removed it nor verified it to me.

Hello I am shopping around for mortgages on purchasing my first home and on XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX XXXX XXXX to get prequalified and they rightfully ran my credit score and of course a hard inquiry was placed on my report. After 2 days on XX/XX/XXXX since I was under the impression that I have 14 days allowance to shop for mortgage rates without hurting my score I called QuickenLoans to ask for rates and I specifically requested three times to not ran my credit score and they assured me that no new hard inquiry would be posted. I specifically requested confirmation and I have proofs for that since the call was recorded. When I checked my credit report today, I found out a new hard inquiry from QuickenLoans on XX/XX/XXXX. This inquiry is illegal as I didn't gave my authorization to be run again and they confirmed me that it won't show up as a new hard inquiry. I demand for this inquiry to be deleted. Please help me and let me know if you need any additional info
