Their info was never on my initial paperwork from the person selling the product I bought so i couldnt find who to contact when my bank situation changed but when I tried over and over again to email them and their lawyers to ask for things to get fixed because it all has been paid in full.

Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Paying off the loan
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing regarding my Home Equity Line of Credit ( HELOC ) account. Despite fully paying off the loan and multiple requests to close the account, Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing has failed to do so and has withdrawn unauthorized funds from my account. I am seeking your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. 

Here are the key details of the situation : On XX/XX/year>, my escrow company faxed Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing a letter requesting a payoff letter, asking for my HELOC account to be frozen, and requesting the account to be closed upon payment. I was in the process of selling my home and needed to payoff the HELOC. 

On XX/XX/year>, my escrow company wired the full payoff amount of {$140000.00} to Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing, which settled the outstanding balance of my HELOC account in full. 

On XX/XX/year>, I contacted Shellpoint 's customer service to address an issue, as my account still reflected a balance of {$0.00}. The customer service representative assured me that my account would be closed and my auto-pay settings would be canceled. 

On XX/XX/year>, despite my account being fully paid off, my checking account was debited {$1400.00} from my HELOC account in error. This was an unauthorized transaction. 

On XX/XX/year>, I sent a second fax and email, requesting again that my account be closed and that the incorrect payment of {$1400.00} be refunded. I was told that my request would be escalated and that the account would be closed, and the funds returned by XX/XX/year>. 

I followed up on XX/XX/year>, and was assured that my account would be closed, with priority handling. I was informed that this could take XXXX hours. 

On XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year> I contacted Shellpoint again, but as of today, my HELOC account remains open, and no refund of the overpaid funds has been processed. 

Given the repeated assurances from Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing and the lack of action to close my account and refund the overpaid amount, I am deeply concerned about their handling of my case.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Experian disputing a late payment reported by XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Was Made on Time : I made my payment on time, and the late payment reporting is incorrect. I have attached my bank statements and payment confirmation showing the payment was processed well before the due date. 
Clerical Error : There seems to be a data entry error. The amount listed does not match my payment history. The payment was processed but erroneously marked as late. This needs to be corrected. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Experian has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report.

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue.

I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Made on Time : The payment in question was made before the due date. I have attached the relevant bank statements and payment confirmation as evidence that the payment was processed on time. 
Account Refinanced : The account had already been refinanced, and the late payment should not have been reported. I request that the refinance status be reflected properly in the records. This was an oversight, and I ask for this error to be corrected.
