Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: Aqua Finance, Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I have been consistently making on time payments to Aqua Finance since XXXX, yet my balance has barely decreased. This has been extremely overwhelming and confusing. I dont understand how, after all these years of regular payments, the balance remains so high. 

Whenever I contact the company for clarification, Im simply told to continue making my monthly payments... which I already do without fail. 

Now, in XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from the FTC regarding the lawsuit and a refund check. I still have the letter that was sent. After receiving it, I logged into my Aqua Finance account and saw a notice on their website stating that if you received a letter about the FTC settlement, no action was required on your part, and that, as a result of the settlement, you would no longer be responsible for the outstanding balance on your Aqua water treatment system. I took a screenshot of this information! 
After seeing this information on Aqua Finances website, I felt a sense of relief and stopped making payments, believing the matter had been resolved. However, just a few days later, when I returned to the website to view that same information, it was no longer there. 

And now seven months later, I am still being told that I owe the remaining balance. Ive contacted the company multiple times and was told that my account was not included in the settlement... even though I received both a letter and a check from the FTC. 

I now receive 45 calls a day about this, which feels harassing... especially after the FTC letter and Aqua Finances previous statement.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: WV

Complaint narrative:
LoanCare prematurely disbursed the second-half of my property tax ( due XXXX ) without my authorization, causing an artificial escrow shortage. This triggered a $ XXXX monthly payment increase. I dispute any further increases, especially since homeowners insurance ( {$850.00} ) is due and my escrow balance is insufficient. This is not my errorits theirs. 



Chronology & Facts : 1. XXXX I paid {$3100.00}, including the escrow shortage ( $ XXXX ), as documented by LoanCare XXXX 
2. XXXX XXXX XXXX payment increased to {$3300.00}, even though I already covered the shortage. 
3. LoanCare stated on a call they would attempt to reverse the premature tax paymentbut no refund or escrow adjustment appears on my account.

4. My current escrow balance is only ~ {$300.00}, far under the required cushion.

5. Homeowners insurance ( {$850.00} ) is due soon, which will drive my escrow shortage even further if not addressed. 
6. LoanCare may increase monthly payments againbut this shortage was caused by their error and should be reversed.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law. ''

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Shellpoint has an online website that allows you to access your mortgage, schedule payments, etc. They have a section for submitting a request for a financial hardship pause on the loan, which I believe I qualify for. While trying to submit a form, the website would not allow me to process the form or continue past the initial prompt. I tried calling the customer service line, which sent me straight to voicemail. Except there is no voicemail option. The lines just dead. 

Besides being apply to make a payment on your mortgage and receiving tax information at the end of the year via email, this mortgage lender is unreachable and unusable. The irony of Shellpoint 's name is it truly feels like a " shell '' account.

Company: Aldous & Associates, PLLC
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I sent the debt collector extensive information via certified USPS mail which demonstrated that I am not liable for the amount of debt they are asserting I owe. This took place in XX/XX/year>, within 30 days of being notified that they were attempting to collect on debt. The total amount of the debt is ~ {$250.00}. I disputed the charges with my credit card company ( from the XXXX XXXX XXXX ) because they wrongfully charged my credit card for membership fees after I had already cancelled my membership. The XXXX then asserted that I owed them back for those months, even though I was able to substantiate that my account had been closed/membership was cancelled. The XXXX proceeded to send me to collections. I contacted Aldous & Associates, the debt collection agency, and sent them a letter. The information I provided adhered to the law, and they did not respond in the time allotted, nor did they provide me with the information I requested before they reported the debt to the credit reporting agencies. I contacted the company last week and they said that they had record of this information being received, and that they would respond to me by the end of the day yesterday, XX/XX/year>. I have not heard anything from them and they submitted the debt to the credit agency. It is showing up on my credit report. They did not follow the law ; they are required to respond to the letter and dispute that I sent them. Now, my credit score is impacted and the debt is wrongfully showing up on my credit report.
