Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Midwest Loan Services, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
The bank behind this servicer purchased our loan from our previous servicer. This company, Midwest Loan Services is the new servicer. This change occurred only this past XXXX. Shortly after we were told that we had an escrow shortage. It was pretty big. Almost XXXX. It was very upsetting. 
We had no choice but to reconcile this as the insisted it was legitimate. We did proceed to ask a lot of questions and got some numbers thrown at us in explanation. We asked for a lot of info on where the shortage came from, from the previous servicer. They took it over they should be able to explain it but they never really did. 
Our payment went up about {$54.00} per month. This was maybe late fall of XXXX. I recently got another letter from them. There was another escrow analysis done. Unbelievably it stated that we owed about {$4500.00} again! We were in shock. Almost XXXX since XXXX in well under one year? How could this be possible? Who could sustain this? They offer no explanation. They are certainly not going to call us. Why would they? 
It looks like I didn't even get a chance to talk to them about and our payment went up again!! We never heard of anything like this. Who could sustain something like this. I work and hope to retire in about 3-4 years, my wife does not work. She is receiving XXXX. We are in our home over 25 years. We have never, ever had escrow shortages like this. The most we ever seen was about {$600.00} at the most at the end of a year. Since about XXXX until the present we are encountering shortages anywhere from XXXX. It turns out they are doing the same thing to us as the past servicer did. Its a nightmare. A carry over of the same practices. We are afraid if this keeps up we are not going to be able to pay our mortgage.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the information reported on my credit report in light of the recent lawsuit involving Experian, which I came across in my research. I believe the information in question has had a significantly negative impact on my creditworthiness, potentially hurting my chances at securing credit.

As part of my efforts to improve my credit standing, I previously submitted a dispute regarding certain accounts listed on my credit report. However, I received a response stating that the accounts were verified, despite my belief that they may not accurately reflect my credit history. After reviewing the lawsuit involving Experian, I feel that the verification process may have been flawed or incomplete, leading to these accounts being incorrectly reported.

Given the negative impact these accounts have had on my credit score and financial opportunities, I am requesting that these accounts be removed from my credit report as soon as possible. I believe that the verification process in question may not have been fully compliant with the standards set forth by the law, and therefore, I am requesting that the CFPB intervene and assist in ensuring the accuracy of my credit report.

Thank you for your attention to this important issue. I look forward to hearing from you soon. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

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: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I had an FHA mortgage with Total Mortgage Company and due to COVID-19 went into forbearance, they didnt lower my payments and still put me into foreclosure status because of a technicality on there part. Once it was corrected they removed the foreclosure status and I refinanced with another lender. When it was switched Total Mortgage sent an invoice for XXXX for lawyer fees due to the foreclosure process they made an error on. I was forced to refinance with another lender due to the fact they refused to lower the payment when I filed for the loan modification. Ive called and they refused to remove it. 

Ive also requested for my PMI to be removed due to the double equity amount, i currently have in my home. They denied me also.
