Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Carrington mortgage sent me my escrow analysis on XX/XX/year> stating I can pay my escrow shortage of {$460.00} by XX/XX/year> to prevent my monthly payment from increasing to cover the difference. 
When I called to make the payment I was told this is in fact not true for payments under {$600.00} and making a payment won't prevent the payment from increasing. I mentioned the document I was sent said otherwise. I was then told they just haven't updated the documents they mailed out and despite having something in writing stating I can pay this amount, doing so would not prevent my payment from increasing. 
Since I have document stating I can make a payment to prevent my future payments from increasing, I would like Carrington mortgage to honor this. 
What is concerning as well is if I had not called and just made the payment online I would not have been aware of the increased payment because I would have assumed my escrow account was caught up with my shortage payment.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have taken the necessary steps by sending certified letters to both the ( XXXX ) credit bureaus and the original creditors to dispute the inaccurate information that has been reported, particularly regarding the accounts that were included in a debt relief program. Prior to the covid pandemic, my credit was something I took great pride in. It was explained to me that it is not common for negative information to be reported while you're making timely payments through a debt relief program, and that my creditors would report my account as current or in good standing if I meet the terms of the agreement. Therefore, in an effort to preserve my excellent credit, I entered into a payment agreement on XX/XX/year>, which was successfully completed as scheduled. I have requested that the creditors review the payment history and adhere to the laws that protect consumers who had impeccable credit prior to the restrictions imposed by the Covid pandemic. On XX/XX/year>, the CARES Act was signed into law, which included provisions to protect consumers ' credit during the pandemic. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) was amended to prevent adverse credit reporting due to COVID-19, as outlined in section 15 USC.1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( F ). This provided some reassurance and relief for individuals like me who were facing financial challenges during these unprecedented times.

Complaint narrative:
I applied to pull equity out of my home that is paid off. I completed the application with Bank of America and my loan got denied. After speaking with BOA, they told me to resubmit it and I did, this time I was asked, " How do you know this person? '' " How did you find this house? '' and I asked were these legitimate questions and in the translation they stated they told me to contact the credit department. Well, I provided everything that was asked and both times I put the {$1000.00} appraisal fee down, which both times were partially returned. BOA stated that my loan was denied because I didnt contact the credit department. I found it very odd because I was in close contact with loan officers and provided everything that was requested. I have a concern that BOA denied me of this loan based BOA discriminatory practices.
