Company: Flagstar Bank, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I closed on my loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX Mortgage on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX that my loan was sold and none of the terms and conditions be would changed My loan was sold and Flag Star Bank   become the severer of my loan payments would be on XX/XX/XXXX with Flag Star Bank. I received a letter around the end of XXXX from Flag Star stating I did not have flood insurance I contacted Flag Star insurance department and gave them the policy number of my insurance and that my Home Owners and Flood policy were all in one they said ok and would update it. About month later in XXXX I received another letter stating I did not have flood insurance this time I contacted my insurance company and had them contact Flag Star to get them what they need once again I thought this was resolved since my insurance company rep told me they had contacted XXXX XXXX Mortgage who was the actual holder of my loan and that Flag Star was the severer of the loan and that they would let Flag Star know my coverage was good. A month later in XXXX I get a final notice stating I did not have flood coverage and they would purchase a force policy for XXXX dollars if I did not show proof of coverage for which I have already done three times now. I final sent an email to Flag Star and they responded on XX/XX/XXXX saying my policy was not good enough since it only gave a 30 day notice of cancelation instead of a 45 day notice so even though the policy was good enough and meet all the original lenders requirements at closing and was purchase out of my escrow paid in full account and is in effect from XX/XX/XXXX thru XX/XX/XXXX now that Flag Star is saying it's no good. I do not believe they should be able to change the terms or conditions of the loan after they purchase it from another company which meet all the original lenders requirements I could understand if Flag Star was saying at the time of renewal of your policy you will have to get an updated flood policy that meets the 45 day notice but they are insisting I get one now and that my current policy is not good even though it's been paid for and meets all of the original lenders requirement. They have currently took XXXX dollars out of my escrow and cause an escrow shortage. They also show in their letter that my old policy expired on XXXX XXXX I never had a policy that expired on XX/XX/XXXX there records are not even correct and they will not even admit they are incorrect. Also the forced policy they did for XXXX violates Texas Law they can not force you to cover land in your flood policy

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Barclays responded to my complaint and sent a letter dated XX/XX/2018 but there is a discrepancy on date which letter was generated and it's authenticity. On XX/XX/2018, I spoke to Barclays representative and confirmed that there is no letter/correspondent being generated or drafted and this can be confirmed by Barclays since all phone conversations are recorded by Barclays. In the letter reason why they lowered credit line was because of 'Utilization of revolving accounts is too high. ' They FAILED to provide details in numbers/percentage of the reasons to lower credit line to support 'Utilization of revolving accounts is too high. ' They have no supporting statement nor they have valid reasons/justification to lower credit line. Once again, only reason why they lowered credit line is because I have made {$8000.00} payment and this is clear violation of Credit Cardholders Bill of Rights and Credit Card Act. If I have made {$10000.00} payment, credit line would have been lowered to {$4900.00}. Barclays do not have clear guideline or justification of why they decided to lower credit limit to {$6900.00}. ***THEIR DECISION IS ALSO BASED ON CREDIT REPORT THEY RAN ON XX/XX/2018 WHICH IS NOT MOST UP TO DATE AND THIS IS SERIOUS VIOLATION. *** Barclays also FAILED to provide what my credit line/limit should be. This is once again, ABUSIVE and UNFAIR credit card practice. BARCLAYS ALSO FAILED TO PROVIDE WRITTEN CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT ( WHICH IS SIGNED BY ME ) TO SUPPORT THE REASON WHY THEY DECIDED TO LOWER CREDIT LINE/LIMIT. Please investigate this serious and intentional violation.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
I have contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX today XX/XX/XXXX about a wrongful delinquent late status put on my account. I am XXXX XXXX military and have given military orders on XX/XX/XXXX. When I spoke to customer service today I was told to dispute the item today so they may remove this wrong information. I have called numerous times and have been told to dispute this item. At this point I am disappointed in XXXX and how they deal with service members. I still have the email I sent with my orders if that is needed. At this time I will look into taking legal actions against this XXXX for not only accusing me of false delinquent payment information but also damaging my credit. My account should have been put into deferment since XX/XX/XXXX. The same email was sent to my regular student loans and none of those are in any delinquent status.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage was transferred to JP Morgan-Chase by my current servicing provider, XXXX. I received a notification about this change less than five days before the change from XXXX, and a notice from Chase the day OF the supposed payment change. 

I want nothing to do with JP Morgan-Chase - they are a company known for committing significant mortgage fraud - billions of dollars worth - and I have a moral conviction to not do any business with them. I attempted to contact them, however their customer service lines all hang up on you without letting you speak to anyone. 

I refuse to do business with a morally bankrupt institution such as JP Morgan Chase. What are my options to prevent the transfer of my loan, or move it to a company that isn't filled with blood sucking leeches?

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Today, I made a lump sum payment of ( {$8400.00} ) after declining Nationstar ( Mr. Cooper 's ) loan modification based on the new terms and conditions. Last year shortly after XX/XX/XXXX Mr. Cooper allowed and advised me that I could skip up to 6 payments when Hurricane Irma made landfall causing a hardship on thousands, including my household. I contacted Mr. Cooper several times to clarify the terms and conditions since they refuse to put the verbal terms in writing. Instead, after the disaster forbearance period, I was advised that ALL past due payments were due on demand, and WILL NOT be tagged on the backend of the loan, as I was advised by 3 previous reps. It was evident, the reps struggled with the backlash of the confusion Mr. Cooper 's attempt to foreclose on thousands. Instead of admitting the breach impacting thousands of mortgage holders. Since I could not afford to pay the full lump sum, I requested a forbearance payment plan after the partial payment was applied. Ironically, Mr. Cooper, a servicing debt collector only allow me to repay the past due balanced over a period of 6 months ( {$4900.00} ) EST. I became concerned again when each lump payment was posted and reversed. Since Mr. Cooper serves as a debit collection agency, no one could explain why the payments are posted, and later reversed. 
While, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau can not control the bad customer service widespread throughout the industry. Please be aware, Mr. Cooper does have its fair share. Unfortunately, I do not trust Mr. Cooper payment process. Especially, after Mr. Cooper applied the $ XXXX to my rate modification back in XX/XX/XXXX instead of forwarding the balance since the last payment, and reinstating the loan. I still stand firm that I was penalized for the missed payments that reflected in the balance forwarded. At this point, I can no longer sit idle and witness this debt servicing agency cloud the industry with bad tactics. Please help me to understand Mr. Cooper 's applied payment and reverse methods. Seriously, concerned if all of my payments have been applied to date. Thank you,

On XX/XX/XXXX another envelop shows up at my place of employment, this time the letter is addressed to my employer with no reference to me on the envelope.

I tell them that they are breaking several articles of the Fair Debt Collections Act,  and list each article they are breaking. I ask them to remove any and all negative debt reporting on my credit report. I warn them that I will file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission in an effort to get XXXX to stop these damaging actions against me. 

I have written a letter to XXXX, XXXX in response to their filing of Claim with the Superior Court of California , County of XXXX XXXX. I address their action of contacting my employer when they knowingly have my home address. These actions are unlawful and I need help to get XXXX  to stop these unlawful acts.

I have called prior to all this asking to settle the debt and offered payments, but they only wanted their interest payments in excess of 100 % interest. 

Thank you for your help in bringing this company to start following the Fair Collection Practices Act. 

Respectfully, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
