Product: Mortgage — USDA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — Changes in loan terms during the application process
Company: CrossCountry Mortgage LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
The company of Cross Country Mortgage has tried to side step all complaints I have made by stating " it is not their responsibility to find me financial assistance. '' They also proport that he has no duty to obtain me additional 3rd party funding. I agree. It is not their obligation. 

The crux of my agreement is not that he was supposed to find me assistance. My argument is that my medical deductions should have been considered for " adjusted income. '' He has every responsibility to determine my appropriate income for the loan. That is what origination fees are for. 

When I applied for a USDA Guaranteed Loan with XXXX XXXX, he took no effort to calculate adjusted income according to USDA loan procedure and policy. 

This not only was completely dismissed, it classifies as disability discrimination because it was deductible medical expenses that XXXX XXXX refused to consider and calculate. 

I was denied that USDA loan for reasons undisclosed to me. 

The crux of my agreement is not that it is Cross County Mortgages responsibility to find me assistance. It is their obligation as the originator to determine income. Adjusted income is included in the income verification process. They refused to do so. 

I can only assume he has intention to do so because of the following : 1. Dismissing my adjusted income would qualify me for a higher loan. 
2. If i get a high loan he gets a higher kickback. 
3. The mortgage industry is at its worst in decades. 
4. The more effort he has to put into " origination '' the lower his rate of pay is. 

He has every incentive to deny my medical expenses.

Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a serious matter concerning the repossession of my vehicle, a XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. The circumstances surrounding the repossession have raised significant concerns regarding the handling of my personal information. 

My vehicle was repossessed from an address where I do not currently reside, and this action was carried out by a non-affiliated third party. To my knowledge, I did not receive any communication providing information about or obtaining my consent for the release of my private information to this third party. 

Moreover, I want to draw your attention to the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 6802, which outlines obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information by financial institutions. According to 6802 ( b ), a financial institution must follow specific procedures before disclosing nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party : Clearly and Conspicuously Disclose : The financial institution must clearly and conspicuously disclose to the consumer, in writing or electronic form, that such information may be disclosed to a third party. 
Provide Opt-Out Opportunity : The consumer must be given the opportunity, before the initial disclosure, to direct that such information not be disclosed to the third party. 
Explanation of Nondisclosure Option : The consumer must be given an explanation of how to exercise the option to prevent the disclosure of their information. 
To the best of my knowledge, Credit Acceptance did not provide me with any written notice offering an opportunity to opt-out of the disclosure of my information. Furthermore, my private information was provided to a non-affiliated third party with whom I have had no prior association or contractual agreement. 

I am deeply concerned about the violation of privacy and the potential mishandling of my personal information. I kindly request a thorough investigation into this matter, an explanation of the circumstances surrounding the release of my information, and immediate steps to rectify any breach of privacy. 

Your prompt attention to this issue is appreciated, and I expect a swift and comprehensive resolution. 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
