Product: Debt collection — Mortgage debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing ordered the Trustee ( XXXX XXXX ) to illegally foreclose on my property and now they refuse to provide information to identify which entities the monies where distributed to with my equity. There are clear fraudulent activities taking place with total lack of transparency and accountability on Shellpoint 's part. 

On multiple complaints I requested for simple identification of the entities that had beneficial interest and to whom the funds were disbursed to. The response and answer clearly indicates that Shellpoint is hiding critical information and committing fraud. 

Their response is as follows : " Please be advised, when there is a foreclosure on a property, there is no HUD information provided. That document is only provided when there is a sale or short-sale of a property. Regarding the names of the entities that funds were disbursed to, since this was after the property was foreclosed upon, you no longer had interest in the property, and Shellpoint is not required to provide that information to you. '' Apparently they're continuing to charge to the account long after the property foreclosed according to Shellpoint 's provided internal report and records.

Company: Servis One, Inc., Titusville, PA Branch
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Attached, please find documentation for the following complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX. Mr. XXXX XXXX has attempted to communicate with XXXX XXXX for almost 7 months over a mystery fee that they have added to his pay off demand. We have attached multiple payoff demands that he has received over the last 7 months. On some of the payoffs, a mystery fee of {$49000.00} is present while it is not on others. When questioned, XXXX has simply dismissed his requests for an explanation or to refer him to Appendix G of his loan documents ( I have attached appendix G here ). Appendix G is in regards to late payment, but in no way allows a mystery Maturity Fee to be added to the account. We believe this is simply an attempt of XXXX to commit fraud against Mr. XXXX. He has asked multiple times for an explanation and the response has been bogus at best. 

We would like XXXX XXXX to prove that they have the right to charge a 15 % on the gross unpaid principle balance in order for the borrower to pay the loan off or remove it from the payoff statement.

Company: COMMUNITY CHOICE FINANCIAL, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I took out a payday loan at XXXX on XX/XX/2018. I am currently on my 3rd consecutive payday loan with them. The store even wrote on my receipt when I took out the loan that it was loan 3 of 6. The Indiana Small Loan Law document that they attach to your contract, states the  company is required to offer an extended payment plan at the time you enter your 3rd, 4th, or 5th consecutive loan. I went to the store on XX/XX/2018 to make a payment on my loan and was told I was ineligible for the extended payment plan until I take out a 4th loan. The manager stated she was sorry I misunderstood the Indiana Small Loan Law document, because XXXX starts their loans at number " zero '' so even though this is technically my 3rd loan, they consider it number 2. I asked the manager if she could hold the check until XX/XX/2018 and I could pay off the balance. She stated she could not do that. I know they are able to extend your due date from 2-4 weeks because I have taken out loans with XXXX in the past when I was paid monthly and they would have me due in 4 weeks instead of 2. The manager stated they could not work with me and that my check would be deposited on XX/XX/2018. She said once the check is returned to them then they would offer me a payment plan with an additional {$25.00} return check fee. I called the corporate office and they just called the local store and talked to the manager and reiterated what the manager had already told me. I believe this is deceptive practice by XXXX. They start you out at loan number " zero '' to extend the number of loans you have to get before utilizing the extended payment plan.

Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/18 Someone named Mr. XXXX called me and told me I was being sued and to gave me a fake court date. He gave me my ssn and my wife 's ssn. Then claimed that I needed to show up in court unless I settled the debt today. I asked which account it was for, how much, and who was he filing on their behalf. He wouldn't tell me. He then said I needed to be a decent human being and pay this debt today. After I asked him what account and when was it from, he began to launch personal attacks. He mispronounced my wife 's name and then just used her middle name. Then said that my wife could have done better than marrying a dishonest person like myself. And then he hung up on me. I called him back 4 different times. He continued the personal attacks and hung up on me each time. He then called my wife and continued the personal attacks. Not once did he say he was calling from a collection agency. Instead he claimed to be an attorney from XXXX XXXX. XXXX. He has now called my work numerous times. I told him not to call me there and call me on my cell. He purposely keeps calling my work and my wife.

Company: Big Picture Loans, LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I originally took the loan under the impression that the APR rate would be way lower than it turned out to be. I was also under the impression that the finance charge would be a one time fee. The company was very misleading because I later found out the finance charge is a percentage that is subject to change. I attempted to make a {$300.00} payment the end of XXXX which was never 'processed. ' I looked today and the payment still says pending. This would have made a huge difference on my interest rate. I think this was another scheme to keep me from paying off my loan early. I called today to make a payment on the principal. I told the representative that I planned on paying off the loan next week ( on my payday ) and she could not tell me what that amount would be. They also claimed that they could not process my payment for two business days and that I would still have to pay interest for the weekend even though i have been attempting to pay. The representative said there was no pending payment on my account ( I have a screen shot of the website mentioning my online payment ) Overall, this has been a terrible experience. The company has been so dishonest and they set you up to fail.
