Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC

Complaint narrative:
This client began trying to modify her loan in XXXX when her lender was XXXX. She continued to reach an attainable modification until XXXX when then lender was XXXX. After not being able to attain a modification, she opted to list her home with me in XXXX of XXXX for a short sale. At this time the file was with XXXX. The file was then sold to XXXX ( XXXX investor ). Although we were able to eventually get an offer that was approved from XXXX they buyers failed to close. We then submitted another offer with XXXX and was processing when we received word our file was being transferred to Shell Point. Up until the transfer we were communicating with the new investor through our contact at XXXX. We even received a counter offer from the new investor ( shell point ) and then the file was officially transferred over. We then spent the next 3 months trying to get an approval on this same offer. The buyers could not hold out any longer and again the buyers walked. I sent the contract cancellation the same day I received the approval from Shell Point. I then relisted and resubmitted an offer to Shell Point, first for {$310000.00} then {$320000.00} as to match the previous approval amount. This was submitted on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I was told if I could submit at the same amount as the last we could expedite the file to get a quicker approval. Since then I as well as the sellers attorney have been told that this file will be expedited. If I do not get an approval for the current offer by this Friday, the buyers, will again walk. No one can seem to get an answer from the investor for Shell Point as I am told they are not in house. How can I expedite this file? This client has been through four different servicers in just one year. The sale date for this home has been deferred twice. There is another sale date scheduled for XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
This reverts back to a complaint from XXXX XXXX Case number : XXXX related to the settlement from a law suit with the federal government giving us up to a 41 % principle reduction Modification opportunity in which XXXX explained where the income they used to process our Modification of XXXX XXXX, that income information was provided by us back in XXXX. Since then my wife was forced to changed jobs as I was and our income was negatively impacted plus, the Social Security income they used was inaccurate by over a thousand dollars too high. This income for the XXXX 41 % principle reduction Modification was not provided by us in XXXX it was transferred from a XXXX Modification we had applied for. The reason we did not respond back to CFPB when we received XXXX 's response was, XXXX told us they would consider us for that 41 % principle reduction opportunity. We then started sending the required documentation and were at the final piece of documentation necessary to complete the package for review when XXXX sold our loan to Shell Point servicing a division of New Penn Financial, LLC effective XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. When we received that notice we attempted to get that final documentation sent to XXXX XXXX at XXXX, 3 times with no response from him or XXXX. Then on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX there is a Notice of Trustee Sale filed against our home at the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Office with a scheduled sale date of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX by XXXX with the recorded copy mailed to XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX. Since the mortgage has been sold I have attempted to reach XXXX XXXX on XXXX different occasions with no call backs. ( I got the contact number on my own from searching on line! ) I have not gotten anything in the mail from them. On my first call I did get the loan number ( XXXX ) and I was told there is a sale date of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX in the file and that the loan was discharged in Bankruptcy, from the person answering/directing the calls, which is not true ... ..Only my wife filed Bankruptcy ... ..I did not file, she had personal financial issues she needed to resolve. We have not received a denial letter related to the Modification with XXXX, that was almost completed or anything except a Notice of Trustee Sale. We want to save our home and that 41 % Principle Reduction opportunity gave us that chance and now appears gone as is our home.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC

Complaint narrative:
In 2015, I made XXXX payments of {$3700.00} to Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing. According to documents that were supplied by XXXX as well as statements made by employees and agents of XXXX, these payments would cover interest only. The payments were insufficient to cover principal, and in fact were not enough to cover the actual interest in each payment period. The total interest payments in 2015 totaled {$11000.00}. XXXX reported to the IRS that my interest payments in 2015 were only {$8100.00}. This is the figure that was supplied on the IRS form XXXX. There has never been an explanation as to what happened to the {$3100.00} difference. I believe XXXX is violating Mortgage Servicing Rules by either under-reporting interest paid in a year or failing to report on the reason for the difference between interest paid by the homeowner ( myself ) and interest reported to the IRS.

This is a blatant violation of my rights FCRA. Additionally, the only response to the ID Theft report that I had sent your company was sent to me by your assignee XXXX XXXX XXXX, who perplexingly claimed that I needed to send them more information, and perplexingly they asked for the police report again

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
Capital One recently canceled my credit card without providing me with an explanation. Capital one called me two weeks ago and said there was suspected fraud related to my card and I needed to upload personal documents online in order to verify my identity. The documents requested were : a copy of my passport, the front and back of my social security card, and a bank statement. I provided the documents through their online portal and received a call the next day notifying me that I should call them. When I called them I was told that my account was permanently suspended because of fraud related activity. I asked them for an explanation, but was told they can not provide XXXX. I asked why a fraud investigation was being conducted in the first place and I was told they can not tell me. Prior to receiving the initial call there was no suspicious activity on my account. I 've held a card with Capital One since 2007. In the end the only answer they gave me was " I 'm sorry Sir your card is permenantly suspended, you may apply for a new card. '' My concern is two-fold. First, I deserve an explanation for why my account is being canceled. I 've never had a late payment the entire time I 've held the card. Second, if Capital One did indeed find fraud related to my account I would like to know so that I can take action to ensure my other accounts are no compromised. What can I do to obtain information as to why my account was canceled?

In XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased a home in XXXX, AZ while on XXXX XXXX in the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I received mandatory permanent change of station orders to XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, upon which time I rented the home, but once the renters moved out and the market tanked, and due to a loss of income after my wife lost her employment during the move, I began processing a short sale of the home in XX/XX/XXXX. Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have had XXXX buyers for a short sale and on each occasion, the XXXX mortgagers did not come to agreement and thereby causing the short sale purchasers to abandon the purchase. On each occasion, particularly after the short sale was denied, the servicing mortgage company sold ( XXXX transferred ) my mortgage to I presume the highest bidder. This is evident now as I submit my second complaint because, yes, my mortgage has been sold ( aka transferred ) yet again to Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing. And now, XXXX ( XXXX ) years later - as of this complaint, I still have not had success selling this home and the home remains vacant since XX/XX/XXXX.

I have been a XXXX resident since XXXX XXXX and have not owned a vehicle registered in Florida since them. The request letter came from a big law firm located in XXXX and XXXX ( Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson LLP ).

In the meantime it has cost me considerable time and mailing costs to respond to their request. I read of similar complaints on XXXX ( people who lived in other states, some that do not even drive ). I did verify that the state turned over the debts to this law firm. Disappointing to see a law firm not verifying ownership before sending out their letters requesting payment.

I contacted Capital One about my credit card 's annual fee and what other cards I can get because the one I currently have does not seem worth it. It was assured that my annual fee would be fully waived/credited so I would not have to pay it to keep the card since they were not allowing me to upgrade to the no annual fee card that has the same exact benefits ( even though my credit score is in the range for that card ). My fee recently posted and they now are telling me all they can do is credit {$20.00} of the fee. I feel like I was scammed and this is a bait-and-switch.

Complaint narrative:
My husband lost his job and I was unable to pay my credit card payment for some time. After my account charged off Capital One has sent my account to a collection agency XXXX Attorney 's at Law. I began making token payments every few months and I got a letter from XXXX stating that as long as I continued to pay according to the agreement that we had made they would not take my account to court. I have never spoken on the phone with them, I have never made any sort of arrangements with them. So I continued to make payments when I could, as much as I could. I did not get monthly billing statements, I did not even know what my balance was at any given time. In XXXX 2015 I did finally get a bill stating that I owed {$1100.00} on my account and for XXXX my husband paid off my account for me on XXXX/XXXX/2015. To my horror I just discovered that this firm has filed suit against me in court Case XXXX. To my knowledge my account, although previously charged off, should be paid in full and should be reporting as such to the credit agencies now. I feel that this is a violation of UDAAP as it was deceptive to pretend that they had entered into some sort of an agreement with me without ever speaking with me. I feel it is abusive to continue to collect a debt and even file suit against a debtor that has paid off their account. I feel that it is unfair to not send monthly billing statements to a customer and expect them to know what is owed on a loan. Service providers for large banks should be held to the same standard as the big banks.
