Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
IN XX/XX/XXXX I RECEIVED A FIRST MORTGAGE FROM XXXX XXXX FOR A NO DOC LOAN TO PURCHASE A CONDOMINIUM IN XXXX FLORIDA. I MADE REGULAR PAYMENTS UNTIL THE REAL ESTATE CRISIS OCCURRED IN XX/XX/XXXX AND THEN BEING IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS MY INCOME FELL TO NOTHING. I COULD NO LONGER MAKE PAYMENTS. AS SOON AS THEY ACCELERATED THE LOAN I APPLIED FOR A MODIFICATION AT THEIR INVITATION. THAT PROCESS TOOK TWO YEARS AND I WAS DENIED. 

THE BANK THEN AGREED TO A SHORT SALE AND WHEN I RECEIVED AN OFFER THE BANK CHANGED THEIR MIND AND REFUSED TO SELL THE CONDO ON A SHORT SALE. THIS TOOK A COUPLE OF YEARS TO PLAY OUT. 

I THEN WENT TO MEDIATION WITH THE BANK AND THEY AGREED TO A DEED IN LIEU OF FORECLOSURE. MY ATTORNEY PREPARED AND SUBMITTED THEIR APPLICATION AND THEN THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND AND DID NOT ALLOW IT. 
I THEN SUED THE BANK FOR PREDATORY LENDING AND RECEIVED A DEFAULT JUDGEMENT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT APPEAR IN COURT. THE JUDGE SET THE FORECLOSURE ACTION ASIDE. 
FIVE YEARS LATER I SUED TO SET THE MORTGAGE ASIDE AFTER THE 5 YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS EXPIRED WHILE THERE WAS NO FORECLOSURE ACTION IN PLACE BY THE BANK. THE JUDGE RULED IN MY FAVOR AND THE MORTGAGE WAS SET ASIDE AND CANCELLED. 
THE BANK THEN APPEALED TO THE FEDERAL COURT TO HAVE THAT DECISION SET ASIDE. THE FEDERAL COURT JUDGE REVERSED THE STATE COURT RULING. WHILE THAT ACTION WAS PENDING THE SUPREME COURT OF FLORIDA RULED THAT ALL SUCH ACTIONS WERE TO BE PUT ON HOLD UNTIL THEY RULED ON THE 5 YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATION. TWO YEARS LATER THEY CHANGED THE LAW IN FAVOR OF THE BANKS AND RULED THE 5 YEAR STATUTE DID NOT APPLY BECAUSE THE MORTGAGES WERE STILL ON RECORD THEY COULD FORECLOSE A SECOND TIME. 
IN XX/XX/XXXX EIGHT YEARS AFTER I STOPPED PAYING ON THE MORTGAGE, I REAPPLIED FOR A MODIFICATION WITH THE MORTGAGE SERVICER, SHELLPOINT MORTGAGE SERVICING, AT THEIR INVITATION. I HAVE SUBMITTED EVERY DOCUMENT THEY REQUESTED OVER AND OVER AND AFTER MONTHS GO BY THEY AS FOR THE DOCUMENTS AGAIN BECAUSE THE DATES ARE TOO OLD. THEY HAVE DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES THIS YEAR. THEY NEVER GO TO LOAN COMMITTEE. 
I HAVE REQUESTED THEY REDUCE THE MORTGAGE BALANCE TO AN AMOUNT THAT I HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY DUE TO THEIR MAKING THIS NO DOC LOAN TO ME WHEN THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD HAVE QUALIFIED WITH NORMAL DOCUMENTATION. I AM PREPARED TO BEGIN PAYING THE MORTGAGE WHEN AND IF THEY SETTLE WITH ME ON A REDUCED MORTGAGE AMOUNT.

Complaint narrative:
My husband informed me that XXXX XXXX - XXXX verbally denied his application for rental with their property management company because of the reporting of an adverse account on my credit report. I never received any written notification of this decision ; but subsequently requested a copy of my credit report to investigate this issue. 

I never took any action to apply for rental from this company, nor did I at any time give verbal nor written consent to this entity to perform a credit history inquiry on me using my social security number. 

Further, I made an in person visit to the XXXX XXXX rental office and requested a copy of the application that my husband filled out. I was advised by both XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX/XXXX XXXX that they have no such application on file under my social security number or name.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: GREAT LAKES
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I have been paying on a roughly {$7000.00} loan for approx. 6 years ( XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX ) Over HALF of my money has gone to only interest! My bill is still almost $ 5,000- after 6 YEARS!!! 
Not only that, XXXX XXXX XXXX has n't sent me paper bills or anything via mail in MULTIPLE years until just last month ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I find this extremely suspicious. The employees offer absolutely no support. They never requested ANY information updates regarding name change or email/address change. They have over 100 complaints online about accounts being mishandled and overcharged. I never received any actual information from this company regarding the loan when it originated.This is extremely unsettling. No way should half of the money be towards interest only. How is anyone supposed to get ahead in life with rotten set ups such as this.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I sent a dispute to transunion on XX/XX/XXXX disputing an XXXX XXXX ( Docket # XXXX ) which was being reported on my credit report. Once I submitted this dispute via mail I also sent on on XX/XX/XXXX via FAX. I did n't get any feedback from Transunion so on XX/XX/XXXX I filed a complaint with the CFPB in regards to the matter. Once said CFPB complaint was filed I sent them a copy of the CFPB complaint and original dispute letter via fax and U.S. Mail. On XX/XX/XXXX they sent a response via the CFPB that the Bankruptcy and XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$50000.00} were both removed and no longer reporting on my credit report and that in 5 to 7 business days I would have an official letter from Transunion stating such. I decided to contact Transunion to confirm said response as on XX/XX/XXXX I applied for a loan only to find out both were still being reported. So I contacted Transunion on XX/XX/XXXX and was on the phone for well over 40 minutes only to find out that the items were not being even investigated. I then faxed a copy of the dispute to them. On the call they stated I have not sent in a specific letter which is untrue.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I originally noticed the fraudulent ATM withdrawals and debit card charges on my Wells Fargo online account on my wedding day ( XX/XX/XXXX ) while in XXXX. In total, 11 fraudulent charges had taken place between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, totaling {$1400.00}. Prior to leaving for XXXX, I had notified Wells Fargo that I would be out of the country so that they could authorize my card being used internationally. I was very surprised to see that many charges had taken place in the United States, granted that Wells Fargo should have marked my account as being out of the country. Once I noticed that charges were being made, I immediately called Wells Fargo to figure out what had happened, file a claim, and deactivate my debit card. 

After a few weeks, I was shocked to receive a letter in the mail from Wells Fargo, telling me that their investigation concluded that me or someone I know made the charges. It seemed just so obvious that the charges were not me since I was not even in the country. The claims specialist advised me that I would need to file a police report in order to open the case. 

After filing the police report, I re-opened my claim with Wells Fargo, this time sending them additional evidence including my marriage certificate ( dated XX/XX/XXXX that indicated the location being XXXX, XXXX ) and my flight confirmation that showed the date of departure as XX/XX/XXXX and return as XX/XX/XXXX. Again, all of the fraudulent charges occurred within those dates. 

A few weeks past and I thought this ordeal was finally over when I received a letter from Wells Fargo in the mail. Again, to my surprise, they were denying my claim. 

Since then, I have been to the Wells Fargo branch office and requested pictures from the ATM of the individual who was withdrawing funds from my account. It turns out that Wells Fargo is trying to claim that the man in the pictures is my husband ( who I was literally in XXXX with during all these charges, getting married to ). In addition, my husband is XXXX XXXX with a XXXX XXXX XXXX and the man in the pictures is very clearly XXXX. 

At this point, I do n't know what else to do because it feels like I have so much evidence and support that this was fraud, but it seems like Wells Fargo just wo n't listen. Although {$1400.00} may not be a lot of money for some people, it is a lot for me and it feels like Wells Fargo is now the " person '' stealing from me. 

I have attached my two bank statements that indicate which charges are fraud, along with my marriage certificate, and flight confirmation. I have also included the police report I filed, pictures from mine and XXXX wedding day, XXXX ID, and two pictures that show the man at the ATM withdrawing money from my account.

Company: Statebridge Company
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
XXXX sold my mortgage to Statebridge. I had a financial hardship and got behind, making payments by money order, and tried to work with XXXX over the phone to get caught up. When I called Statebridge on 3 occasions, the rep would not take my payment, citing either lack of information about previous verbal agreements I had made, or the need to talk to a supervisor and get back to me. Each time, I would wait two days and then call, and always I was told supervisor was reviewing. I said I was just going to make a payment over the phone, but was told it would not be applied to catch me up. I should have contacted a lawyer at this point. 
The last time I made a verbal agreement to catch up on payments, I asked for an email or written mailed account of the agreement, and did not receive it. But again when I called I was told no agreement was in place. I then received a foreclosure notice.

To Whom It My Concern, XXXX XXXX XXXX in Illinois has continually tried to collect on and old credit card debt that is past the statute of limitation in Florida. Today, XX/XX/XXXX they called me on 3 separate occasions using an automated dialer. I have not given my express consent to this or any other company to call me using an automated dialer. In fact my number of registered on the Federal Do Not Call List. 

Today they threatened that they have a judgement against me and that it will be enforced on Monday XX/XX/XXXX in XXXX Co Florida. They stated that the only way for me to avoid this action was to pay them some {$1900.00} today. First I have never been notified or served with a summons regarding any suite . Second, the credit card debt in question is over 10 years old and is past the statue of limitations to sue in for judgement in the State of Florida. 

The false threats and the phone calls to my cell phone using an automated dialer without my expressed consent are clear violations of the FDCPA and CFPB regulations. On top of that they call me three times in one day the first call was at XXXX, the second call was at XXXX and the third call was at XXXX. I picked up and answered all three calls. It was in the second call that the agent threatened the legal action and demanded payment to stop the legal action today. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
