Complaint narrative:
XXXXXXXX XXXX  sold my mortgage to Essex and never let me know, I was receiving several bills to pay mortgages from several companies so I assumed it was a scam. I called Essex who had sent me a bill and they had no information in the system. It wasnt until after XX/XX/XXXX that my portal was available and I finally called the direct number to essex and my info was in the automated system. The lady told me dont worry I had until XXXX before any late fees would be assessed. At this time i paid {$3000.00} because that is what i was told to pay at closing that is what i received a bill for and I was told that my first and second mortgage were included in one payment. Mind you I have no separate payment stubs in my paperwork for to pay my second mortgage separately. I additionally asked them this at closing and they assured me it was included all in one payment. They showed me the payment stub and said see this is what you send in. I sent it in just like that to XXXX they never check their XXXX XXXX so it just sat there for weeks, so ireceived a final notice via email from essex and thats when i called and found out XXXX  sold my mortgage, so i cancelled the check and paid on the online portal the XXXX not knowing they sent over the payment info wrong and Essex separated it and did not tell me also my insurance was almost cancelled because essex deliberately took to long to get my account setup all the while they are telling me dont worry i have until XXXX there would be no fees so dont worry We have plenty of time to correct this.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I refinanced {$4300.00} of my transactions with chase to be paid over XXXX months, I had XXXX left as on XX/XX/XXXX, I paid XXXX $ on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I had a balance of around XXXX of which XXXX would be interest saving balance at the end of XXXX statement. 

Instead of using my payment to pay my interesting bearing balance, chase closed my refinanced pay over time plans and in my XXXX statement asking me to pay the full balance of XXXX with no line items for interest saving balance. since I had already paid the fees for converting my balance to installments this is unfair. 

I called them and on the call they said that my balance on XX/XX/XXXX was XXXX, I downloaded the raw XXXX from them and based on the XXXX my balance was XXXX. Clearly it is an error on their software.

Company: Longbridge Financial, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
We have been the recipients of spam and scam letters from the reverse mortgage department of our servicer, Longbridge Financial in XXXX, MI, accusing us of not paying taxes and condo dues and threatening us with foreclosure action. We have asked why. 

On XXXX, we received a letter on plain stationery, not letterhead, from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX stating it is the new owner but Longbridge still does the servicing. XXXX XXXX did not list an address but rather a XXXX XXXX XXXX which is another red flag right there. 

On XXXX, we received a letter on Longbridge stationery saying our reverse loan No. XXXX had been assigned to the Default Assistance Department but did not give a reason. We are not in default on anything. 

On XXXX, we received a letter on Longbridge stationery demanding that we send them {$890.00} to repay them for having " advanced '' this sum to pay for our property taxes, condo dues and property insurance. We owe them nothing because we have always directly paid these required fees on time. They threatened foreclosure action if we did not send them this money. 

Also on XXXX, we received from the prolific reverse mortgage department an annual occupancy certificate, threateningly labeled " Important : 1st Notice. '' This was a legitimate request and we returned it confirming our occupancy. 

Longbridge supplies a variety of phone numbers with the XXXX area code but none, in our experience, were answered by human beings except for one which turned to be in the XXXX, and the man who picked up wanted personal financial information which of course we refused to supply. 

Longbridge 's HQ is in New York and its site also lists a phone number unanswered by a human being.
