Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Regarding my situation with Nationstar ; the following is an overview of what transpired. I am going to attach all that I can but I might need to send you a cloud link. The XXXX day sale date following my XXXX XXXX hearing is scheduled for this Monday, XXXX XXXX ( See Attached ) I am not trying to save my home ... my only goal is to have a deed in lieu of foreclosure. This, in addition to the possibility of a short-sale is all that I have been trying to achieve from Nationstar. However, I was told that I must wait until after the hearing to present any offer to them. That was told to me by their counsel as well at the hearing in front of the judge. Nationstar told me XXXX days after the hearing date when I called them regarding a deed in lieu / shortsale that I must have a minimum of XXXX days from the actual sale date to be considered for either. Obviously the math does not add up. 

This is after I desperately tried to modify my loan before this began. Nationstar put me into foreclosure for a reason that was not valid. Nationstar told me in the foreclosure notice that they did not receive the requested information, which I have proof of providing to them. All of this was to no avail. 

Timeline : On XXXX XXXX, 2014 I sent in the requested information needed to be considered for a loan modification. 
I received a letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2014, requesting additional information for the loan modification. 
I sent all of the requested information in by the date of XXXX XXXX, 2014. 
In a letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2014 that I received stated that all of my modification options were denied because of " Request Incomplete ''. I have all documentation and proof that these items were sent in through fax and email logs. 
Following that notice / letter we were placed into foreclosure. 

I can provide proof that all of the requested items were sent to Nationstar for the loan modification process, per your request.

Complaint narrative:
I am a Successor - in -interest to a property located in XXXX XXXX California XXXX The mortgage on this property is currently in default primarily because of the lender 's inability to renegotiate with me. I have received notification that there is going to be a foreclosure on it. I have since been contacting the Lender to reinstate the delinquent lien, but or no one wants to talk with me. I will be put on hold for a long time, and when someone eventually comes to talk, it is the same, they will find a reason not to work anything out with me. It is frustrating and I think that they want to find a way to sell this property from under me.

Complaint narrative:
Nationstar Mortgage LLC has not sent me Loan Statements for XXXX loans I have with them on XXXX rental properties for since XXXX, 2012. I am in Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy to modify these loans. The modification plan was approved by the Court in XXXX 2012. I have no idea if they have modified these loans, what my payments are ( I guess at what they are by what the P & I payment is supposed to be plus what the Escrow amounts are ). They say their policy is not to send out any statements while in Bankruptcy, but I ca n't be released from Bankruptcy until I can show the Court they have complied with the approved Plan. This is costing me money as well as my Credit. Numerous calls to them have them telling that they ca n't send me anything. Even a Letter from my lawyer in XXXX of this year has been ignored. How can I force them to send me a statement? I thought it was the Law to send out statements.

Complaint narrative:
I believe the shared processing network and database that XXXX XXXX companies use has been hacked or threatened with a Bot and thousands of customers may be affected. 

I applied for a XXXX XXXX XXXX about 3-5 years ago. 

Two weeks ago, I received an email telling me " my '' application had been received from and I need to click a link to verify it. I figured it was a scam, so I ignored it. A few days later, I received a followup email telling me the application has been processed. I called the company and explained that I had not applied for a loan. They asked me to verify my info and I discovered the application contained my name, previous address, drivers license #, DOB, and SSN. I submitted a report to FTC and added a fraud alert to my credit report. I also submitted a police report. I called the cash advance company back to ask for the banking info associated with the applicaton in hopes of getting a name of the thief from the bank, but they would not release it. 

This morning, I received another email from a different cash advance company - same thing, asking me to click the link to verify the info. I hoped the webpage would show banking info. I clicked the link and it did include banking info - my old banking routing number and account number!!! 

This leads me to believe that there is n't a single person submitting an application under my name, but it 's possible that the shared application processing network these companies use may have been hacked with malware or a Bot and the Bot is processing XXXX applications for XXXX customers in their database using the stored info the customers initially submitted years ago when a legitimate application was filed. 

The name of the first XXXX XXXX company was Green Trust Cash. 

The email I received today was from XXXX XXXX Now. The number is XXXX. They closed the application and put a fraud alert on it. 

However, I think there should be some type of public announcement to previous customers because inquiries are being made on our credit reports. 

Please contact me with a resolution. 

*In the next section, I provided my old address, which is the address on the cash advance applications. 

**I could only submit XXXX company name in the next section, but there are XXXX. See above for the XXXX company name.

Complaint narrative:
My mortage was sold from XXXX to SPS Servicing in XXXX XXXX. The original mortage was done in XXXX and at that time the escrow only included the taxes and I the homeowner always paid the insurance out of my own pocket. Well 12 years after the original mortage this new company SPS decided to pay my insurance company even though the declarations pages clearly state Insured pays this is not a demand for payment, they raised my payment. When I contacted them they and told them the issue, they stated the had the right of escrow. In the meantime my insurance company refunded me the mortage company payment and I called the mortage company and made a lump sum payment of {$2300.00} to my escrow account for their mistake and to cover the " shortage '', but my payment was never adjusted and the are still wanting me to pay the insurance amounts and also my insurance company is still debiting my account for the money too. I have tried numerous times to get this issue resolved and I never get any response other than they have the right to escrow.. I am now facing foreclosure because I am not making the full payment because in reality I do not owe what they stated and my escrow account actually has a credit amount in it, but they are still saying I owe back escrow payments but in reality I do not because my payment was never adjusted to reflect the lump sum payment I had already made. I have been dealing with this for almost 16 months now and they still continue to not evaluate my escrow, and now I recently switched insurance companies and they did it again where they paid the insurance when they received a declaration page clearly stating Insured pays. Also, the new insurance dropped approximately {$100.00} a month in cost, but the payment does not reflect this drop in rates and still say I owe {$300.00} in escrow a month when the math does n't add up and if I did pay them what they say I owe eventually they would owe me money. I am not a legal expert but this in my opinion is mortage fraud and is causing me much heartache over something that is the company 's fault and lack of understanding or ability to do simple math.

Complaint narrative:
The bank sent me an email stating they had detected " no card present '' fraudulent activity on my account via my new chip technology ATM/Debit card, which I very seldom use, and that they had declined the transactions until receiving verification from me as to whether the transactions had been attempted by me, or someone else 's. Please see attached. When I replied it was not me, a customer service representative called me immediately and instructed me to destroy the card, which I did. The representative proceeded to tell me they were opening an investigation and would issue temporary credit to my account, but they later told me they were denying the claim for fraudulent activity and would not be reimbursing the monies. I closed my account yesterday, after having been on the phone at the branch, because the branch manager told me there was nothing they could do at the branch, and that, like me, the only recourse they had was to go through the Claims Department, which only handles everything via telephone. PLEASE HELP. Chase is stealing approximately {$700.00} from me, saying that since I have an on-line account, I should have noticed the fraudulent activity and reported it immediately, and that I should call the authorities if I was n't happy with Chase Claims Department 'd decision to not reimburse me.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/2010, my mother took a Reverse Mortgage Home Equity Conversion Loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX whose address was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, VA XXXX. My mother received a sum of money from XXXX XXXX but left {$95.00}, XXXX in equity on the property. My mother has passed. Currently, the loan is being serviced by Champion Mortgage whose address is XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX. The telephone # is : XXXX. The loan # is : XXXX. The problem that I am having is that two months ago, I found out that I am the mortgagor on the loan. At the time the loan document was drawn up, I was never told that the loan was in my name. Additionally, I was told that the {$95.00}, XXXX equity that my mother left in the property is probably worth {$20000.00}. I was also told that the remainder of the equity died with my mother. I was told that there is nothing that I can do at this time but to sell the property. However, I am writing to you because I feel that my mother was frail and vulnerable at the time she took the loan. Moreover, I was not given information about the type of loan and the pros and cons of a reverse mortgage that was subject to a life estate in my mother 's name. I do not want to sell my home and would like an opportunity to continue to live in my home. As a result, I would like to know if I am covered by the reverse mortgage since the loan was in my name.

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage servicer ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) sold servicing rights to Nationstar starting XXXX XXXX 2015. I contacted XXXX and was told that I had no say in the matter, but the only change I would see is the account # and address I send payments to. I called Nationstar on XXXX XXXX to set up my auto bill pay, but was told they did n't have my account info yet and they would be sending me a welcome packet with all the info I would need. I did n't receive this packet until XXXX XXXX. I called Nationstar customer service ( poor description of what they do ) and was basically told there was no way to set up the payment option I need ( the same plan I had with XXXX and my previous servicer ). I am in the military, so I get half of my pay on the XXXX and the rest on the XXXX of every month, so I need half of my mortgage payment to auto draft on the XXXX and the XXXX. Sounds simple ... apparently it 's impossible with Nationstar. I have spent hours on hold and have to explain my situation every time I get transferred to a new person. On XXXX XXXX I received a notice that " your loan is due for XXXX XXXX, 2015 and is in default '' and " unless this delinquency is paid by XXXX XXXX, 2015 we will accelerate/demand your loan and begin the foreclosure process '' pretty sure federal law REQUIRES a 60 day grace period beginning the effective date of servicing transfer. This whole experience has made me extremely uneasy, as I previously stated, I am in the military and XXXX at a time. I received notice of the servicing transfer just after returning from XXXX of these XXXX, what would have happened if it had come just after I XXXX? 
I would have come back to a house in foreclosure because of an unethical practice of transferring servicers without my consent! Is there seriously no protection for XXXX service members from this? Also, PLEASE read XXXX and other reviews of Nationstar Mortgages and ask yourself how they are allowed to continue preying on people just trying to do the right thing. I would do ANYTHING to distance myself from this terrible company!

Company: Advance Bureau of Collections
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Advance Collection Agency accepted an invalid claim for rent overpayment from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and did not provide me with valid verification of the claim. In XXXX, 2014, XXXX XXXX XXXX informed me that the check issued to me on XXXX XXXX, 2014, for Housing Assistance Payment ( HAP ) was an overpayment and that I had 10 days to repay {$590.00} or the debt would be sent to collections. The letter did not acknowledge XXXX own letter of XXXX XXXX, 2014, ( attached ) which verifies that my contract was valid on XXXX XXXX, 2014 and would remain in effect until XXXX XXXX, 2014. There was no overpayment because at the time the last payment was made, the property was still under contract. Five months later ( After I had sold the property and no longer maintained an address in XXXX XXXX, XXXX sends a fabricated ledger statement with false dates to Advance Collection. Advance Collection did not investigate the claim and when I had a lawyer to call Advance Collection, there was some indication that the same staff member at Advance also worked for XXXX XXXX XXXX. I disputed the claim immediately, writing to XXXX XXXX, the Regional Director at HUD, and finally the Commissioners for XXXX and copied the last letter to Advance. Again, with no investigation or response acknowledging my dispute, Advance Collections placed a negative report on my credit report. I attach XXXX documents to show that XXXX claim for overpayment on XXXX XXXX, 2014, is not valid because the contract was not cancelled until XXXX XXXX, 2014. The second is to Advance Collections to inform them that the HUD regional office had suggested I contact the XXXX Commissioners about the dispute. The debt is not valid. The collection agency did not provide me with authentic and accurate verification of the debt and I was initially told by telephone that the amount was for repairs that I had not paid for. I am requesting that the negative report be removed, that relationship between Advance Collection and XXXX XXXX XXXX be investigated and that Advance Collections be reprimanded for its practices.
