Issue: Trouble during payment process — Private mortgage insurance (PMI)
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
We paid to have an appraisal done to remove our PMI from our mortgage, which was approved in XX/XX/year>. Our mortgage sold several months later to Newrez and they have been charging us {$260.00} despite have the documentation showing that they had no legal right to charge it at all since we paid for the appraisal and had it removed. We have contacted Newrez XXXX times since the end of XXXX with no resolution in sight. We continue to be told that we will get an email or phone call following up with a solution and they have sent nothing. They also stated that our homeowners insurance increased despite our insurance company telling us there has been no change. Newrez continues to lie and not provide the information to us that they are quoting from " our file ''. If it is information pertaining to our mortgage, they should be willing and able to provide it to us. Both of these issues have caused our mortgage to increase over {$500.00} per month. There should be legal repercussions for charging additional PMI when you have documentation on file that it was removed several months prior to it even being transferred over to Newrez.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I recently encountered a frustrating situation with my Capital One accounts where I discovered that there was a restriction placed on all of them. To my surprise, three of my accounts had been affected due to returned payments. Despite my efforts to submit the payments on time, one was returned and the other was not transferred by the bank as expected. Upon contacting the company, I was informed that all my cards had been closed due to these payment issues, even though the due date was still a few days away. Despite my history of timely payments, they refused to reinstate my accounts, leaving me feeling disheartened. It was disappointing to realize that despite being a loyal customer, I was unable to resolve the situation.
