Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
This mortgage was in forbearance due to COVID 19. When my financial hardship ended and at the end of the forbearance period, this company refused to offer any kind of work out solution other than pay back all the missed payments. I have called them more than XXXX times and sent them ( at their request ) over XXXX pages of documents. They never return my calls. I resumed sending them monthly payments, which they refused. Their latest letter says among other things, " we have the right to invoke foreclosure based upon the terms of your mortgage contract ''. And, " We were unable to complete the evaluation of your loan because we did not receive all of the required documents. '' I've have sent them the all the documents they have ever requested many multiple times by way of email and regular mail. I can't decide if they are trying to steal my house, or are just totally incompetent. I have attempted to refinance the property through a different more competent lending institution. However, since they have been reporting me late to the credit agencies, my credit score has dropped 100 points and now I'm not able to get a new loan.

Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: Credit Karma, LLC
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
I used Credit Karma ( CK ) tax to file my taxes for the year XXXX. I had issues with linking my personal bank account to direct deposit my federal tax return. So, I could either have a check mailed or open an high yield savings account with CK. I gave the latter a try. Sometime at the start of XXXX, I requested that Credit Karma close my Credit Karma savings account and send me a check for the funds ( {$490.00} ). 

CK will only allow one bank account to be linked to their savings accounts. I did not realize when I selected the savings deposit, that the IRS/government account that paid out tax returns would forever be the account linked to my savings and I could NOT change it. Therefore, the only way for me to receive the account holdings was via check, which I specifically requested. 

CK closed BOTH my savings account AND my entire CK account. AND they returned the money to the linked IRS/government account, NOT a check to my listed home address like I had asked. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a case with CK trying to explain the issue. I asked to have my account reopened, tried to explain that I only wanted the savings account closed, and that I still hadn't received a check in the mail that I had asked for. 

They replied back stating that they had already resolved the issue and settled on XX/XX/XXXX to my external bank account. 

I replied that I specifically asked for a check to be mailed and that the linked account on file was not mine. 

They told me it sounds like I need help from XXXX XXXX. And then to get help from XXXX XXXX Taxes. There was some more back and forth trying to correct the confusion until I was told that they would have to escalate this issue to another department. 

XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from CK saying that my funds have been returned to my external funding source. 

I replied that I would really like a phone number at this point to speak with a representative since email was proving to be useless at explaining my problem. 

I waited but received no reply. 

XX/XX/XXXX, I filed another complaint with CK. 

They replied with the exact same same response, that they returned the funds to the linked account. They also said that my account had been closed due to a party fraud project. 

I replied that I had not received any funds and if there was a phone number I could call. 

The last response I had with them said they could give no other details at this time and that they had the right to lock and deactivate accounts at their discretion.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I pay the full balance on my credit cards on time every month, but on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I was late by a few hours from the cut-off time and paid the full balance, {$370.00} for BJ 's Perks XXXX  Mastercard by Comenity Bank XXXX XXXX pm on the due date. ( I had been scheduling the payment on my mobile phone that afternoon, my phone died before I completed the process and I couldn't charge the phone until I was back home later in the evening. I called the representative to explain the situation but could not have the prospective late fee waived because I had a previous late payment incident a few months before, unfortunately. All my other credit cards are always paid on time, but it just happened that I was in unfavorable situations on the payment dates for the BJ 's Mastercard two time that were quite close together. ) So the following month, the billing statement included a late fee and interest charge, for which I paid the full balance ( purchases XXXX + late fee 35 + interest charge XXXX = {$230.00} ) on time on XXXX XXXX. But again this month, I was surprised to find another interest charge ( {$5.00} ) in the billing statement ( due on XXXX. XXXX ). I called the credit card company to have the error rectified, but got an answer that it was NOT an error and it was due to the residual interest. I had never experienced a residual interest issue before. Is it legal to charge interest two months in a row when there was only one incident of late payment? 

The supervisor on the phone told me that I should have asked to pay off the interest IN ADVANCE over the phone when I was late in payment in order to avoid a residual interest charge. It still didn't make sense to me because what she refers to is the interest that was charged the first time. And if the residual interest was generated at all, it shouldn't have been as big as the initial interest charge, should it? How can the interest have accrued that much after I paid the full balance in XXXX and again in XXXX? When I talked to a second supervisor, he informed that the residual interest policy was newly implemented since XX/XX/XXXX, but when I checked my previous statements, nothing of that sort could be found for my first late payment which happened back in XXXX. I find Comenity Bank 's fee policy dubious and deceptive.
