Consumer complaint received 2024-12-05 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Private mortgage insurance (PMI)
Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
PHH Mortgage is fraudulently manipulating my home value to deny the removal of PMI Several times over the last 24 months I have requested PMI to be removed.They had me pay for an appraiser in XX/XX/XXXX but won't provide me a record of the appraisal. 

Then PHH Mortgage noted in XX/XX/XXXX that we have adequate equity ( 79 % ) in the home but was still refusing to remove PMI, demanding an additional $ XXXX to have it removed. The appraisal then 'expired ' within 90 days, meaning they no longer consider this appraisal value ( which they will not provide ) and that I paid for. Instead, they remove the appraised value and use the purchase price to dictate when PMI can be removed. 

I have requested to have it removed again on XX/XX/XXXX and the documentation suddenly has an even higher mandate to have PMI removed, even while I have paid down more principal : In XX/XX/XXXX, " The property valuation must be {$370000.00} to move forward with PMI removal. '' In XX/XX/XXXX : " If you choose to do a valuation and the property is your primary or second home, the valuation must show a value of at least {$390000.00} to meet the required XXXX of 75 %. '' It's clear to me that PHH is artificially keeping the appraisal low and payoff requirements out of reach/unknown in order to ensure I continue to pay $ XXXX in PMI payments to them XXXX They don't give a straight answer and the only solution they have provided is that I pay another $ XXXX to them to have it removed.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

EQUIFAX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports
