Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: SEACOAST BANKING CORPORATION OF FLORIDA
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
We closed on a new construction home in XX/XX/XXXX and our home loan was sold to Seacoast bank in XX/XX/XXXX. Our monthly payments through the end of XXXX included an escrow of ~ {$830.00} for projected property tax and insurance payments for a total monthly mortgage payment of ~ {$3100.00}. In XX/XX/XXXX, they refunded some of the escrow to us and reduced the monthly escrow to ~ {$430.00} claiming that was the more accurate projected amount for XXXX, reducing our overall mortgage payment to ~ {$2600.00}. In XX/XX/XXXX, they sent an escrow disclosure document to us for XXXX stating that they had undercollected the escrow by ~ {$8000.00} in XXXX, and as a result of the shortage, our total monthly mortgage payment will be ~ {$4100.00} for XXXX to make up for their error. About {$900.00} of the shortage was due to a large insurance increase which I understand occurred statewide this year and was not necessarily able to be accurately projected or anticipated ; but the remaining ~ {$7000.00} seems it was due to them projecting a property tax cost that was on par with prior years for our lot- when it was unimproved land with no house built on it. Obviously, the addition of a home onto the land in XX/XX/XXXX substantially increased the property taxes, and this should have been EASILY foreseen and projected into their calculations for the XXXX escrow they were collecting for the property taxes to be paid in XX/XX/XXXX. Because the taxes are escrowed to be paid by the bank, we assumed the bank knew what they were doing with their math and projections, and so this red flag was overlooked by us, but it should have never been overlooked by the bank, who is responsible for collecting these payments. We now have to find ~ $ XXXX extra for all of XXXX to make up for this egregious oversight they made so they can recoup the shortage they caused. If we were able to just have paid the taxes directly and not had to escrow them, we would have spent time better researching and projecting for the increased tax cost and accurately projecting the taxes we would be owing, and not underprojecting them by over {$7000.00} due to a bank error of assuming property taxes on unimproved land would be the same the subsequent year when a house was put onto the land, and not putting ourselves in a hole like this for the entire next year. Had they projected correctly, our ~ {$3100.00} payment we had in XXXX would have stood for the year of XXXX, which we would have been able to manage- instead of a {$2600.00} payment in XXXX and jumping to {$4100.00} in XXXX. The error and large unexpected payment increase they are demanding due to the shortage they caused is ridiculous.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian AGAIN for what I believe to be another clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite multiple requests, Experian has failed to rectify inaccuracies in my credit report, specifically concerning non-deliverable addresses, in direct violation of the FCRA. I initially brought this matter to Experian attention in a letter dated XX/XX/2023. As of XX/XX/2023, no action has been taken to REMOVE ALL these inaccuracies, despite the FCRA 's mandate for accuracy, fairness, and the substantiation of reported information. The FCRA stipulates that credit reporting agencies must promptly investigate and correct any disputed information. The inclusion of non-deliverable addresses not only compromises the accuracy of my credit report but also raises serious concerns about Experian 's compliance with federal regulations. I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's intervention in this matter to ensure that Experian adheres to the FCRA and promptly rectifies the inaccuracies in my credit report. Your assistance in resolving this issue is crucial to safeguarding my rights as a consumer and maintaining the integrity of credit reporting practices. I have attached my initial dispute letter to Experian dated XX/XX/2023. I appreciate your attention to this matter and trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take the necessary steps to address this violation promptly.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
This in regard to previously submitted complaint XXXX. 
The company responded that they can not respond to this complaint.

There is no legal reason they can not respond. The company is deliberately tanking my credit score and refusing to correct the illegally placed fraud alert that THEY PLACED on this account.

Additionally, i have attached a screenprint proving that they rejecting my identity documents BEFORE they even received it.

Not only has impacted my credit score, it is causing great financial harm to our family. I not able to use my credit cards for basic items in our daily life forcing us to act on a cash only basis. The longer they ILLEGALLY REFUSE to remediate this item, the more financial harm to our family.

Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the 3Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you.
