Complaint narrative:
We were on and protected by the FEMA/Government forbearance after Hurricane Irma, during which time both myself and my wife 's credit report was negatively impacted when our mortgage company Carrington Mortgage reported us as late on our mortgage. I called and was told there was " a mistake and some ... a few customers were mistakingly reported to the Credit Bureaus but they would issue a retraction ''. Mine was corrected, my wife 's however was not. Ive called several times on this matter and either their computers are down or something. I called this morning XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to try to get this taken care of. The customer service rep puts me on hold then comes back a few minutes later to tell me I will have to pull a copy of my wife 's credit report from one of the 3 bureaus and then fax or mail it in. I asked why I would have to do that now when I did n't have to do that before? She said she was n't sure but if I wanted it fixed thats what I would have to do. I said no I should n't have to spend my own money to fix a mistake your company made. And then I asked to speak to someone in that investigation department. She said she is that department. I asked why when I called the other day I was on hold to be transferred but their computers were down? ... she said that I called a different department, I said no it was customer service. So now customer service is the investigation department I guess. I should not have to go through this much trouble to fix a mistake on their part. I do believe they are discriminating against me as I filed a complaint on them before for their terrible customer service and mishandling of my mortgage and this is how they retaliate. I also just this past week opted out of a mortgage modification with them after they told me I would not be able to make my XXXX payment and would have to wait till XXXX to make my first payment. I said XXXX no I am not going to be late on my mortgage and go through all this again. The rep told me well thats how this works, you have to be behind if there is a hardship. I told them to cancel the modification I opt out. Today since my account was just unlocked to make my payment before the XXXX, I find another {$20.00} fee accessed to my payment. When I asked the above first mentioned rep she said it is a Property Preservation Fee that was made to the account on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I said no my mortgage has been current as of XXXX and I will dispute any other fees as you guys already charged me two {$20.00} fees ( FEMA Natural Disaster Billed Fee ) while under the forbearance. 

The former complaint I filed was closed after the mortgage company sent in a bunch of misinformation and out right lies regarding contacts, dates, etc, to which I never got the opportunity to rebuttal. I would hope this complaint is received with more merit and a little investigation into Carringtons handling of mortgages and credit reporting!

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
