Consumer complaint received 2016-08-24 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Nationstar is our mortgage servicer. We had a mortgage from XXXX XXXX XXXX and we were n't informed until after 60 days from the transfer. We had been current with XXXX and had never had any delinquent months since ou purchase. We immediately noticed that our amount owed monthly was different. Nationstar failed to provide any documentation of breakdown in details of " fees ''. 

The current problem is that following my extensive and repeatedly hospitalizations, we became behind XX/XX/XXXX. It was our first time being behind 30 days. Our XXXX/XXXX/16 payment was late 60 days. We were able to catch up a bit and bring it back to 30 days late for the XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX payments. Due to additional hospiatlizations our XX/XX/XXXX payement was 60 days late ( paid on XX/XX/XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX we made the XX/XX/XXXX bill. The account showed as pending until after XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX suddenly the payment showed as REVERSED. I called Nationstar to find out why. Their response was there must have been an error on my part with the number. I asked to speak with a supervisor who confirmed that the number had been used before. She asked that I go to bank and 3-way call with them to confirm that the number was our account and they would be able to credit the amount as paid and take the money again. When at the bank, the manager confimed with nationstar rep that account was valid and money was still there.XXXX manager also explained that Nationstar did not attempt to take the money. Nationstar explained that it was nw XX/XX/XXXX and by not having XX/XX/XXXX payment in account it was now 90 days delinquent. XXXX again confirmed funds were in bank and the funds for XXXX I attempted to pay. They told bank manager that funds would not be allowed to be paid to Nationstar. The problem resolution request was sent by rep but would not lkely be addressed until XX/XX/XXXX. In the meantime they refuse any payment. This would make it 120 days late. 

So by reversing payment in XX/XX/XXXX, they have caused t to be 90 days late. And then again refusing XX/XX/XXXX would make it 120 days late. And acknowlegeing it would take until XX/XX/XXXX cause it to be 150 days late. 
How can they fraudulently cause a delinquency?? 
Also all the funds I pay each month over what is owed to be applied to principal and " fees '' has never been applied. They even reversed escow funds out of that I have paid. 
They now say that because the XX/XX/XXXX payment was n't credited they have moved case to foreclosure!!! They will not speak with XXXX or myself further.

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Earlier this year following the loss of one of our primary income sources my husband and I applied for a loan modification. At the time of the modification request our loan was current and throughout the course of the loan which was originated in XXXX we have never been late. We were approved to enter into a trial plan under the HAMP FHA Program. As per the terms of the trial the payment was reduced to {$1500.00} with the first payment being due on XXXX and the last on XXXX. We were verbally advised by our Dedicated Loan Specialist at the time, XXXX XXXX, that the payments for XXXX and XXXX would be put to the end of the loan and upon satisfactory completion of the trial period we would be approved for a permanent modification effective XXXX XXXX. 
As per the agreement we began the trial period in XXXX however upon the review of my husband 's credit report we realized that we had been reported as 30 days behind for the month of XXXX. As previously stated at the time of the modification request our loan was current. Per Nationstar Mortgage Company because the modified trial payment was less than the contractual amount they were required to report the loan as delinquent during the trial period. This however is contrary to the servicer guidelines for XXXX and XXXX XXXX. Per those guidelines borrowers who are current on their mortgage upon entering the trial modification period should not be reported as late. 
In addition none of the conversations that we had with Nationstar or the correspondence that we received from them regarding the trial period advised that upon accepting the terms of the modification our current loan would then be reported as delinquent for the next several months during the trial period. Surely had we been advised of the repercussions of proactively seeking help during a period of financial hardship we would have declined the modification as our credit worthiness is much more important than a {$70.00} decrease in payment. 
We have contacted Nationstar regarding the matter and they have been less than efficient and expedient in providing a resolution regarding this matter. Nationstar advised that they would send out a letter to the credit bureaus rescinding the negative reporting and in addition a hold would be placed on the loan preventing any negative reporting during the trial period. After the satisfactory completion of the trial period they would retro report the loan as current. 
As to date Nationstar has only provided a letter addressing removing the negative reporting for the month of XXXX. We are still waiting for the matter to be handled fully to include any negative reporting for XXXX.

State: MN

Complaint narrative:
My Mortgage is paid to and serviced by Select Portfolio Servicing , Inc., ( SPS ). In XXXX, XXXX my credit score dropped XXXX basis points. I was shocked and concerned as nothing in my life had changed that would have resulted in this drop. I investigatedimmediately by obtaining a copy of my XXXX credit reports ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) and immediately noticed that SPS was reporting that I had a 30 day late payment in XXXX XXXX. I proceeded to write SPS on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and provided irrefutable proof that the payment was in fact, NEVER late. The irrefutable proof was a copy of my XXXX XXXX bank statement that showed my XXXX payment cleared my account on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and my XXXX payment cleared my account on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I asked them to immediately correct their records. I assumed within 30 days this would be behind me and that SPS would agree that they had made an error in reporting my account 30 days late for XXXX XXXX Boy, was I wrong. To my surprise I received a form letter dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX signed by XXXX XXXX, stating in part ; " Our review of the information confirms that the information we provided to the credit reporting agencies matches the status of your account. Based on this, we will not request a change to the information we provided to the CRAs ''. Since I provided irrefutable proof to SPS, I am shocked that SPS has taken an untenable position. I wrote a second letter ( certified mail ) to SPS on XXXX XXXX, XXXX giving them 5 days from receipt of the letter to change my payment history to reflect the truth, which is my XXXX XXXX payment was never late ). I also demanded any proof and evidence to the contrary that my position is incorrect. On further investigating SPS, I have found that there are literally XXXX complaints lodged against this company, which is owned by XXXX XXXX. This company has no business being granted a license to operate anywhere in the U.S. let alone being responsible enough to conduct financial operation 's here. SPS has ruined my credit, which I have diligently worked so hard to restore after the Great Recession.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I was contacted by GC Services limited partnership. A collections Agency on behalf of the XXXX County Superior Court traffic division. This debt was for unpaid traffic tickets. Which in turn ended up putting a hold on my license by the California Department of Motor Vehicles in XX/XX/XXXX. However in XX/XX/XXXX I did contact the collections agency GC Services which is a third party collections Agency for the Superior Court of California XXXX County traffic division I paid my debt and they specifically gave me instructions on how to then obtain a release of my California driver 's license from the CA DMV which I did XX/XX/XXXX. However, today XX/XX/XXXX I have received another collections letter from the collections company GC SERVICES demanding payment again on the balance that was settled two and a half years ago. I contacted the company spoke to a representative who was unhelpful told me everything that I was saying was a lie told me they had no record of my payment they do n't talk to the DMV they do n't have any record of anything that I did in XX/XX/XXXX that would have released my license. So I asked who do I dispute this with. They gave me no answers gave me the run around and only wanted to obtain payment for a debt I have paid off two and a half years ago. I then spoke to a manager who is equally as rude and unhelpful gave me no information except for the fact that there was no correspondence between the collections agency and myself in the last 3 years. Stating the last letter they sent me was XX/XX/XXXX. So I asked why would you guys not contact me for 3 years if I owed it. But she could not answer. She also could not answer who I made the payments to or give me any records or information from the conversation that released my license in XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2016 we were contacted by Freedom Mortgage stating we were pre approved for re-financing our current FHA loan. They stated that we qualified based on fha guidelines and that we would not be denied. We worked with them for 4 months and finally after XXXX loan processor changes and multiple hard inquiries on our credit history, it was submitted to underwriting. It was denied. They stated the reasoning for the denial as not enough funds to cover closing ( we had over {$2000.00} in escrow from our current loan, as well as money saved aside for closing ). They also stated we had to many past due or delinquent accounts on our credit. ( they knew of this XX/XX/XXXX as we had conversations about it but they said it was n't an issue since our mortgage was n't past due ever ). They also stated that FHA guidelines that pre approved us and qualified us were not in place anymore due to new administration and laws passed since the presidential change.

Complaint narrative:
I wrote and mailed a check for {$200.00} which was stolen from a mailbox and altered to read {$2000.00} and deposited or cashed without being endorsed by someone other than the payee and not at my bank. I discovered this within 24 hours of the check being deposited/cashed and filed a fraud claim with my bank. Thirty-five days have passed and the funds have not been restored to my account and my bank so far is not taking responsibility. In addition, the clearing of the check put my account into a significant overdrawn position of {$1500.00}. While I elected overdraft protection on the account I was surprised that my bank would honor a check which overdrew the account by that much.

Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation — Problem with statement of dispute
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I know that my rights are being violated. I 've been disputing accounts that I know are either inaccurate or do not belong on my credit report and not only am I receiving statements that these have been " verified '', but my proof of said inaccuracies are being ignored. 

I 'm sending proof to Equifax that they 're reporting accounts that are listed as " unknown medical collections '' and they have failed to verify, identify or remove them. How are they legally verifying these accounts without having the identification of the creditor? It 's my right to dispute with the creditor directly and if they are refusing to provide that information, then that is a clear violation. Not only that, but one of the accounts were removed and then reinserted without any notification as required per section 611 of the FCRA. ( see attached letters which explain everything ). 

I 'm perplexed as to why I 've received statements that there will no longer be any investigation into accounts that I know do NOT belong to me. Per Congress, the CRA 's can not just state that the creditor said that the name, date of birth, address and social security number match mine. That is not legal verification and the only form of which would be firsthand knowledge - having the docs in their possession. If they had that information, they would have sent it over to me inconsideration of the fact that I 've been disputing these since XX/XX/2016. I either need to see the documentation or they need to be removed, as the XXXX do not belong to me. The only items that allowed to be on my report are those in which there was an agreement to pay or owe the debt. I did not owe to pay or owe these debts and they need to come off immediately.
