Consumer complaint received 2024-12-30 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: Selene Holdings LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint about my mortgage company. Unfortunately, it is Selene Finance. I have tried my hardest not to deal with this company one-on-one because their tactics are very suspicious. It is hard to get a representative on the phone. If you have questions or need any information, the representative can not provide details regarding anything about my specific account. In 2023, I applied through the Maryland HAF program to get approved for funds and have the state work on my behalf because this company is highly sketchy. I could not trust myself not to get taken advantage of. In XXXX and XXXX of 2023, funds from the program were released, and I was to make my regular scheduled payment of {$1400.00}. Since the funds have been paid, there would be no change in my regular payment or my interest rate. I continued to make payments every month. However, in the last 5 months, my payment has increased 3 times to an outrageous amount of {$1700.00}. Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have written several emails and made phone calls with no response from Selene. I can not get a direct answer from anyone in that company as to why my payment has increased to {$320.00} a month. Since I was approved by MHAF, I have paid every month ( on time ) by phone. Due to Selene 's lack of communication and dismissiveness, I chose to pay via phone every month to protect myself. 

They have left me no choice but to file a complaint, as my payment for XXXX is STILL at {$1700.00}. That is a huge increase. How can a company receiving state or federal funds change the terms of an agreement? This is emotional distress and torture because you can not get answers. I know for a fact I am not the only victim. Please investigate this company ; many have already lost their homes due to their sketchy practices. I do not want to be their next victim. I worked for the Federal Government for 29 years before retiring on XXXX. I am on a fixed income and do not want to be taken advantage of. 

Their address is Selene Finance XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I dont know if this is the correct branch to contact or the most appropriate area for this issue but Im looking to file a grievance against all XXXX of the credit bureaus. Recently I applied for a home equity loan, and within minutes random companies started calling me. It ended for the night, but then at XXXX the following morning they started again. On that day I received 89 phone calls and multiple text messages from all different lenders. I come to find out that the bureaus sell these companies information when credit is pulled for a mortgage related loan. Now the fact that we have XXXX choice in whether or not we deal with these bureaus, that makes this practice even more inappropriate. I can not opt out of their services or access to my information, yet they are allowed to share my personal business in regards to my financial decisions. With them selling information I absolutely did not express permission to do, I am now flooded with predatory lenders and with 89 calls in 1 day, I consider that harassment. When I spoke with a representative from Trans Union, he told me the only way to avoid this is to put a full freeze on my credit, which then defeats the purpose of my original goal of accessing my equity with only the company I choose to give my information to. I would like to see this practice eradicated completely. Thank you for your time and if this is the incorrect place to handle this, if you know where is better, please let me know. I have filed this grievance with the FTC along with my state 's Attorney General.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

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  account [ 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.
