Consumer complaint received 2025-12-09 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Other type of mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: August Real Estate Investments, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am the borrower on a seller-financed wrap loan serviced by August Real Estate Investments ( August REI ) for the property at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Texas. My loan number is XXXX. 

I previously filed a CFPB complaint about unauthorized fees and escrow charges added by August REI. In response, August REI sent the CFPB a letter asserting that federal Dodd-Frank / HPML escrow rules require them to collect escrow from me. CFPB closed the case as closed with explanation after receiving that response. 

However, there are two separate and serious problems : August REI never responded to my Notices of Error and Requests for Information as required by RESPA and Regulation X. 
I sent formal written Notices of Error and Requests for Information by certified mail to August REI. These letters disputed : Unauthorized OTHER fees of {$1000.00} added to my monthly payments Retroactive escrow creation and payment increases Misapplication of payments and failure to properly apply principal Escrow charges for taxes and insurance that are already being paid by the underlying lender Under 12 C.F.R. 1024.36 ( c ), the servicer must acknowledge my Notice of Error within 5 business days. Under 12 C.F.R. 1024.35 ( e ), they must correct the error or provide a detailed written explanation within 30 business days ( or 45 with proper notice ). August REI never sent any direct written acknowledgment or response to me addressing my Notices of Error or Requests for Information at all. 

The letter they sent in response to the prior CFPB complaint does not satisfy Regulation X, because it was not sent to me as a Reg X Notice of Error response, did not respond to each specific error I raised, did not provide requested servicing records, and did not correct any errors. 

August REI continues to impose unauthorized escrow and fees based on an incorrect interpretation of the law and my contract. 
In my TREC Seller Financing Addendum ( standard Texas form ), the box expressly marked is : No Escrow Account Borrower will pay taxes and insurance directly. 

Despite that, August REI : Added an escrow component to my monthly payment Increased my payment from the agreed P & I to a higher amount including escrow Issued an Escrow Review Statement with a new payment of {$4700.00} ( {$3500.00} P & I + {$1200.00} escrow ) Justified this by claiming HPML escrow rules apply This is incorrect for multiple reasons : This is a seller-financed wrap loan, which falls under seller-finance exemptions, not a traditional HPML loan originated by a bank. 

August REI is a servicer, not the originating lender, and has no authority to unilaterally alter the contract. 

The underlying lender already escrows for taxes and insurance and is being paid, so August REIs escrow collection is double-collecting funds for the same items.

None of my loan documents authorize escrow creation or payment increases.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers. In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing this verified account pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and I request that this inaccurate and unauthorized account be blocked or removed immediately. 
I have attached my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX as evidence. Under the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i, 1681c-2, and 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ), credit reporting agencies must block or remove inaccurate and unauthorized information within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving an identity theft report. Despite my prior complaint and attempts to resolve this, the following inaccurate and unauthorized account was verified on my credit report : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX  - XXXX This verification is causing significant harm to my credit and financial opportunities. I have requested verification and contract copies from the reporting company, but after 60 days, received no response. This account was previously removed by other agencies due to lack of verification. This simple verification is illegal, as no evidence or written certification of my authorization for this account has been obtained. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the reinsertion or verification of previously deleted information requires written certification from the data furnisher confirming accuracy, and the consumer must be notified. This was not done in my case, violating federal law. 
I urge the CFPB to ensure TRANSUNION complies with the law by blocking this inaccurate and unauthorized account immediately and confirming the action taken.
