Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I voluntarily repossessed a vehicle XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, that showed on my credit as a charge off for {$8900.00}. XXXX contacted me on several occasions asking me to settle the account, I declined. In XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX reported XXXX late payments XXXX, I was able to remove these from my credit report because I disputed the inaccurate information. On XXXX of this year XXXX XXXX again reported a late payment. Now, the account was closed in XXXX of last year. I spoke with the credit bureaus and they agreed that this act was in violation of the fair credit reporting act, however they refused to remove the false information. XXXX is attempting to prolong its time on my credit by reporting on a closed account knowing that it can stay on my credit for seven years after the last activity. I am working with a home loan program that looks only at the last two years of credit and therefore this account would not be a factor in determining my eligibility for a home with them if they are not allowed to falsely report activity. I am asking that the account be removed from credit in all XXXX bureaus because the company has proven to be irresponsible in reporting information. I have proof via prior credit reports that this account was closed and charged off XX/XX/XXXX. upload screen shots of said proof

Company: RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I sent my reduced property tax bill to Roundpoint Mortgage Servicing company via email. I called them a few days later to make sure they received the information, and to learn what my new payment would be. The young man on the phone could not give me that information, but told me they would run a new analysis in XXXX. I told him that was not acceptable, so he agree to run a new XXXX by XXXX XXXX. The company did so, but used the old property tax information rather than the new XXXX. My original summer tax bill was {$4200.00}. The new XXXX is {$2300.00}. My new payment shows an increase of {$35.00} per month, using the wrong property tax information. I have contacted Roundpoint again, but not heard from them.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
We refinanced our home loan to an interest rate reduction refinance VA loan ( XXXX ) in XXXX, XXXX. Our loan was serviced by XXXX until XXXX of XXXX when it was sold to Roundpoint Mortgage. Our interest rate is adjustable after 5 years, fixed until then. We live in Arkansas where we are qualified for a {$350.00} homestead deduction in our real estate taxes after we have lived in the state for a year. We requested a new escrow analysis due to the break we received from Arkansas. While our insurance increased a little, we should have seen a drop in our payment as our interest rate is the same. Instead of that our payment was raised by over {$100.00} a month. I have called repeatedly since XXXX to get this problem solved. Not only did the servicing person figure the timing wrong for payment of our taxes, they used the figure which included our personal property tax for their analysis. I 've been assured that they will fix this problem several times, that it was sent to a supervisor, etc. Prior to the first of XXXX, when the new payment was to go into effect, I told them I was paying the old payment amount. My call today produced the news that my payment is hung up because it was short and that all the person could do was reopen the escrow analysis ( start over again ). I asked to speak to a supervisor and was on hold so long I asked that a message be given to a supervisor to call me back. I am including a copy of our tax statement which shows the homestead reduction, the due date for payment and the total with the personal property taxes included. We really would appreciate help with this. We are retired and an additional {$100.00} per month is a hardship for us, especially when it does n't make sense. XXXX

Product: Debt collection — Federal student loan
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: KEYCORP
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I made an extra lump sum payment on my student loan and the loan servicer ( My Great Lakes ) applied this payment incorrectly. After several phone calls to the servicer I was told that they take the excess payment and apply it to next months payment first, and the remainder is applied to principal. This information was never provided to me, nor can I locate this information published anywhere by the servicer. 

They have a " how payments are applied '' section on their website which states : " However, when it comes to excess payments you have more flexibility. We automatically apply excess to : 1. Accrued interest since your last payment. 
2. Principal of the loan with the highest interest rate. " On XXXX/XXXX/16, my automatic payment was drawn and applied as all automatic payments are. On XXXX/XXXX/16, I made an extra {$1000.00} lump sum payment which was specified to be 100 % applied to one specific loan token ( highest interest rate ). I expected that a small portion of this payment would be applied to 1. accrued interest since your last payment ( 4 days of interest ) and 2. the remainder would be applied to the principal of the loan with the highest interest rate. Instead, it was first applied to next months payment and the remainder applied to the principal of the loan with the highest interest rate. 

After speaking with customer service at Great Lakes, they agreed with me that the " how payments are applied '' section is confusing and lacks the full explanation of how payments are truly applied. 

This is very unfair to the consumer who is simply trying to get out from under their student loan debt. This servicer needs to clarify to the consumer how exactly payments are going to be applied and I hope that the Department of Education will assure that they fix this issue. I have had loans with XXXX ( formerly XXXX XXXX ) and XXXX and this has never been an issue. These other servicers made it very clear and easy how your payments were applied, and if you made an extra payment it was applied exactly as you expected. XXXX and XXXX get an A+ rating and My Great Lakes gets an F.

Company: Arbor Residential Mortgage LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, In XX/XX/XXXX I refinanced my mortgage on my home for a better rate. This cost a good amount of money up front and I took a great deal of time in selecting the best option and company to purchase this new mortgage from. I eventually came to an agreement with XXXX and received a Good Faith Estimate and moved froward with a refinanced loan I was happy with, though expensive to acquire, it was with XXXX. Around XX/XX/XXXX I was informed my monthly payment was increasing by {$180.00} due to a shortage of escrow. My mortgage has escrow since my home is worth less than I paid for it. The problem with this increase is my taxes and insurance have only decreased over the years, not increased. So why should my monthly payments increase. Actually my taxes did go up, {$3.00} per year, my insurance went down around {$20.00} a year. I 'm thus disputing any changes and request my loan monthly payments to remain as is. 
Thank you, XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX

When I signed up with the " credit repair '' company my XXXX score was XXXX. NOW, it has DROPPED TO XXXX!! I contacted ALL XXXX credit bureaus & they confirmed with me that NO ACTIVITY has been done and no dispute letters have been sent/received as I never did receive a letter from ANY of the XXXX bureaus in 7 months. According to one email I sent the company asking for progress or updates, I finally received a response from XXXX Law that they need a credit report in XX/XX/XXXX 3 MONTHS later!!! Shortly after I contacted the Federal Credit Repair Act, I was advised to file a dispute with MY BANK & TO REPORT FRAUD. This is where my bank comes in. Key Bank! After filing XXXX disputes my bank WOULD NOT do anything to PROTECT ME AGAINST FRAUD nor issue me a provisional credit as these charges have caused me financial hardship. I am having to fight WITH MY BANK, KEY BANK and to having to LITERALLY beg my own bank to recover the money that was charged. MOST BANKS will issues the charges reported as fraud within 24-48 hours. KEY BANK has done NOTHING to protect me as a consumer not the mention the XXXX complaints were filed XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX. Still my bank as done NOTHING! The laws we published under the Credit Repair Act were clearly violated and " XXXX XXXX '' still will not provide me with ANY proof of service. As of now, I only have bank statements of the charge as XXXX XXXX has not answered ANY of my complaints.
