Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: INTERCONTINENTAL CAPITAL GROUP
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
ICG Morgage took my 2 properties mortgage applications in XXXX. Since then they are non-responsive upon my numerous attempts to follow-up on ordering the appraisals and progressing my loans to closing. As I get closer to closing date which is after 30+days from the time of submitting all required documents to ICG, they informed me that the appraisal on 1st property is not even ordered and there is no way to close. I got extension from seller by discussing adjusting seller credit. ICG still continued non responsiveness and negligence on my loans regardless of my numerous attempts to followup this with multiple parties at ICG. Finally I realized in XXXX that they didn't even order my appraisal for which I submitted the application signed with credit card details on XX/XX/XXXX and as I follow up there is absolutely no update on the status. Finally my seller asked for termination as we have no idea when the appraisals will be ordered. Thus I terminated with a loss of my hard earned Earnest money and option fee. I found another lender for the 2nd property application due to this experience and asked ICG to transfer the assignment of the appraisal ordered. Upon numerous requests from me and my new lender, ICG fails to transfer the assignment. Their responses are rude, reckless and negligent. I'm really concerned that due to this bad lender behaviour which keeps repeating, I will be loosing Earnest money on the 2nd property as well. I have all documentation of my communication with ICG and their responses and lack of responses to my multiple follow ups since the beginning. I also have the loan originator at ICG who is familiar with the issue and admitted that this is bad and causing me pain and loss. I am prepared to loose my money for the 2nd time soon. But I don't want this to happen to other customers at ICG because there is no way a consumer would anticipate this outright bad lender behavior. In this competitive market, time is everything and ICG behavior is worse than unacceptable. Please help me solve this issue. Appreciate a quick response as time is of essence for my 2nd loan with estimated extended closing date for XX/XX/XXXX on the contract. Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a couple of inaccurate items on my credit reports and have been trying to for quite some time yet the credit reporting agencies are not communicating with me on those investigations. I understand that we were in a Pandemic and took that into consideration after I didn't receive a response the first, or second time but the this time I gave them 3 Months to respond and they still have not. I don't understand how the Federal Government can create laws to protect me the consumer and yet these corporations STILL don't have to abide by those laws. The Fair Credit Report ACT requires Credit Reporting Agencies to respond to investigations within 30-45 days. Yet the Credit Reporting Agencies do not respond at all. Upon doing some research, I read that the Trump Administration cut the funding of regulatory agencies giving these corporations a free ride to take advantage of consumers like me. It seems that's exactly what Equifax, XXXX  and XXXX XXXX are doing as they ARE NOT complying with the FCRA at all. This is why I'm finally reaching out to the CFPB which is supposed to enforce and protect consumer laws especially against the Credit Reporting Agencies. I sent letters to all three credit reporting agencies on XX/XX/2020, XX/XX/2020, and XX/XX/2020 and never got a response from any of them. In the past they would send a letter to any investigation or letter I sent but now they NEVER respond and continue to report inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information on my credit report. When I contact them to ask them about my investigations, they just give me the run around, say they never received a dispute letter ( which is a lie that Equifax uses every time ) even when I send them certified and they sign for them. The CFPB needs to enforce these laws that are supposed to protect consumers and not let these credit reporting agencies blatantly break the law. We have a new President now who does support American Consumers and their rights so it's time for the CFPB to do their job and hold the credit reporting agencies accountable.

I asked the representative if the charge would be removed from collections and she confirmed that it would. I paid said amount in full, via their chat, and she provided me with a confirmation number. I then disputed the collection on my XXXX report and XXXX XXXX removed it, but I can only conclude that they sold off the debt to another third party ( IC System Inc ) because said party erroneously added an additional collection on my report on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$120.00} for XXXX So this creditor was not even attempting to charge the original amount and XXXX failed to update the account information, which was paid in full.
