Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX XXXX I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The servicing of my mortgage was transferred to Shellpoint Mortgage. Since that time, I have received numerous statements changing the amount of my monthly payment. They sent me a refund from the escrow account and stated that they were not paying my property taxes. When I told them that the taxes and insurance were always included in my mortgage payment, they revised the monthly payment to include only the insurance. This servicing has been a chaotic mess. 

I requested the cancellation of the escrow account and was not informed that the request was denied in XXXX. On my third inquiry, I was informed that since they are a " new lender '' I would be required to have a 24 month payment history with them before the escrow account could be cancelled. I already have a SIX YEAR history with the previous servicer. I have no confidence that Shellpoint will handle my escrow account correctly and since my loan to value is approximately 50 %, I should have the right to cancel my escrow account.
