Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue related to modification, forbearance, short sale, deed-in-lieu, bankruptcy, or foreclosure
Company: Kentucky Housing Corporation
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
My ex husband and I divorced in XX/XX/year>. He was supposed to pay the mortgage on the home until it sold. He moved out in XX/XX/year> and will not respond to me at ALL. I have text, called, emailed, posted on various social media and nothing. The mortgage is in his name. The deed has my name on it. We did not post the home for sale due to him not completing the tasks listed in our divorce and he broke major things moving out. Kentucky Housing Corporation took my payment via check for what I thought was the XXXX payment. Turns out he never paid any payments in 2024. I reached out to Kentucky Housing in XX/XX/year> to let them know I was being garnished and to see what I could do to get mortgage payment assistance. I was told no help because I wasn't on the account. I can not find my ex husband to get the man to sign the release. I emailed probably every month this year trying to figure out how to keep my home. I filed for bankruptcy and am paying {$500.00} to that every month. I let them know I want the house but need help getting it out of foreclosure. I was pretty much told oh well. They sent me the release but no one can find my ex. I even text his new girlfriend and she said she can't wait to watch me and my kids be thrown out. I am a social worker with child protection in Kentucky. I have XXXX XXXX. The attorney for Kentucky Housing told me to be prepared to move out in 60-90 days. I NEED help! I was never served with paperwork and the " certified letter '' that went to my home was not signed for. The mail lady got mad because my kids told her I was asleep and she left it in the mailbox. That's not legal or I thought. I let the warning order attorney know I didn't sign for anything and it was oh well. This company would rather foreclose on my home and let it sit empty than help me save it. There's a home in my neighborhood that's been empty for over 3 years and it was a foreclosed on. I can make the payments now but I need to know how to catch it up and no one will help me. Kentucky Housing is the worst company ever and their customer service is deplorable. It's oh well be homeless. Please help us.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit
Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I have been getting phone calls since XX/XX/XXXX and they have also been calling my family members. I called them today on XX/XX/year> and was prepared to pay it. It was allegedly from a XXXX XXXX, I don't know how many years ago. 

When I talked to them, they said that my amount owed was roughly twice the amount that was originally owed. This is due to a court case that was filed and won by them and so they are charging court and attorney 's fees. I actually told them that I would pay it and I set a planned payment dat to be completed by XX/XX/XXXX. So I have the address, envelope, and money order ready to pay the debt in whole. 

I just asked them to send me a bill of the amount and then I will send it but they said that they would not be able to mail it to me and only be able to email it. I told them that I would only reveal my name, phone number, and address but would not give them any other information. In response they said that they would send me a copy of my promise to pay the amount. 

When I looked them up online though, I noticed some suspicious posts/blogs that warned about this business Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC XXXX They wanted me to send the amount of {$2100.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX  XXXX. 

An additional thing that leads me to believe that this is a scam is that they are very aggresive and threaten to come after me and that this case has already been decided against me. I never recieved notice of the lawsuit and this debt or the original XXXX debt that I had are on my credit report Thank you
