Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have communicated over the last XXXX months the insurance coverage for my condo. Despite the fact, NEWREZ placed lender insurance and did not cancel until XXXX months later. Due to lender placed insurance, and removing the amount from my loan balance, the equity fell short. My XXXX loan payment was increased by {$250.00}. I paid the increase amount thinking that would resolve the issue. However, XX/XX/XXXX payment also shows the increase in my fixed loan payment. I can not pay the additional {$250.00} each month due to the errors and inefficiencies of NEWREZ. My payment is due within XXXX. I am able to make my fixed loan payment but not able to pay the increase placed by NEWREZ due to no fault of mine. NEWREZ placed me in the same position the year prior XXXX. The year of XXXX, I completed the information in XX/XX/XXXX, followup dates were XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Each time I received a form letter from NewRez stating it was being reviewed. This went on for over XXXX months to no avail. NEWREZ has modified my fix loan payment from {$1100.00} to {$1300.00} due to their errors and ineptitude. I am a Senior Citizen who has paid the mortgage for years and once my mortgage was transferred to NEWREZ, I have faced these issues. I can not pay the additional {$250.00} due to their incompetency.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Kikoff Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Kikoff has consistently reported inaccurate information across all three credit bureaus, including NR ( No Rating ) for several months in XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, which is not a valid status under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Additionally, critical fields such as Date of Last Activity, Terms, Scheduled Payment, Credit Limit, and Payment Status are either left blank or incorrectly reported. These inaccuracies have caused significant financial hardship by impacting my credit score, making it more difficult to secure loans and financial opportunities. The ongoing reporting errors have also led to emotional distress, as the uncertainty surrounding my credit status has added unnecessary stress and confusion. The failure to address these issues in a timely manner continues to have a detrimental effect on my financial well-being.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. 

They furnished this account that we didn't agree upon, and I didn't sign an agreement on it. A legal contract is signed by two parties, and I did not participate in any of it. They didn't follow the proper 5-step validation procedure, which makes this unfair. I never received a dining letter or any communication prior to this account being furnished on my credit report. 

According to the FDCPA, I'm entitled to {$1000.00} per violation and they clearly violated my rights.
