Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Beginning in  XXXX   2017 ,  Freedom Mortgage increased my escrow/insurance amount by {$25.00} a month and did not adequately notify me. As I was not well informed, I continued to send a $  XXXX  monthly payment as normal. I thought all was well as the payment checks cleared my bank ( see attachments ). I received a notice of late payments and credit score c hange from  XXXX  at the end of  XXXX   2017 . Upon investigation, evidently, because the extra {$25.00} per month was not included in my pa yments, Freedom Mort gage moved my payments into a " non interest savings account '' and did not apply any of the payments to my loan. As you can see on the attached documentation, all payments were made on time and as agreed upon. In  XXXX , I contact ed Freedom Mortga ge and talked with a representative who instructed me to pay an additional {$110.00} to resolve the issue. In  XXXX , I received an other notice from Freedom Mortgage stating my payments were still not accurate. After speaking with three representatives and a supervisor from Freedom Mortgage, I finally have the payments correct as I have now learned of the escrow increase. I filed a dispute with  XXXX  over my credit score as  it has now dropped over  XXXX  points.   Freedom has denied all my requests and have denied any credit review or withdrawal of two 30 day late notices.
<P/>
I feel I was inadequately notified of the escrow increase and unfairly reported to the credit bureau as I was making payments on time and the amount agreed upon. I do not feel Freedom Mortgage has the right to withhold an entire payment as they have, causing me to be 30 days late for two months and ruining my credit score. I am a model consumer and pay all my bills on time. I feel this is a very unethical practice by Freedom Mortgage. I have researched several websites and have found several other people have reported Freedom Mortg  age as well and have had no resolve. It is my hope that there will be actions taken to protect good consumers such as myself.

Company: Diversified Consultants, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received a call from  XXXX   ( d iversified consultants inc ) claiming that my account with  XXXX   XXXX  was in collects and I need to pay them today since the now have my debt. I advised them I 've never had   XXXX   service and they claim it was actually  XXXX   XXXX  which I 've never had either. I asked the man how he could ask for payment from me when he has n't even verified who I am other than asking my name? His explanation was that I gave him my name so I must be that person. I told him either the claim of a collection is false information or your committing fraud by trying to get me to pay you for a fake collection. He then said they would n't call me anymore and hung up on me, but If I owe you money why would n't you just verify the details for me? They clearly knew that I did NOT have a collection and the entire call was a scam to get money. I 've never had a collection in my 18 years of having credit and this was a attempt to illegally collect money

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
Every time I have made a principle payment on my loan the money goes into a suspense account. I am trying to get my loan to work I am making frequent payments every fifteen days to reduce the principle on my loan and the amount of days I am being charged interest. The process that fifth third bank follows is not working. When I made a payment on  XXXX   XXXX ,    2017  the  XXXX  dollars is just sitting in a suspense account. There online option allows you to make additional payments yet even when I walk in the bank and say hey this check is for my mortgage principle they continue to let the money sit there. It is to their benefit because I continue to accumulate interest and not decrease my balance due to improper processing of funds. IF I am making a principle payment that should not be up for debate or review. It is a delay in the decrease of my loan balance and interest I am being charged.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
We applied for a mortgage loan  with Wells Fargo  in  XXXX , NC we have been in escrow for appro ximately 60 days from today. We asked for our documents to be sent to a new lender with a better rate. Wells Fargo stated they could not do so b/c a law went into effect as of 2008 when they changed the law indicating no lender to lender doc 's could be transferred. I checked with the new lender who states the doc 's could be sent. So now as of today wfargo has finally offered to lock in a rate of 4.785. This should have been done at the beginning of the loan process. I 'm still trying to obtain the documents for our own pu rposes. Also, after we were ready to move on with closing they now want an engineering report which was never disclosed to us.  <P/> Frustrated wfargo applicants,  XXXX  &  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I moved out of  XXXX    XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   in  XXXX  o f 2016. When moving out I completed a walk through with the apartment manager where she i  nformed me because I did not scrub the fridge out I would be required to pay for a cleaning company which would cost {$150.00} as well as {$5.00} for missing blind in the guest room. I agreed to these charges other than that the manager let me know the apartment lo oked great and wished me well. I later received a letter from  XXXX   XXXX  letting me they were charging me to replace carpet in the entire unit whi ch was 3 years old. They claimed I had destroyed the carpet by having an animal in the apartmen t which I did not own an animal. I sent them proof of the condition I left the apartment in and received via certified mail that they had received my dispute. I then received a letter from the apartment complex letting me know they did not agree and sent pictures of the apartment that again did not match the photos I had provided and did not warrant complete replacement of the carpet and I had filed numerous complaints with the apartment complex when I moved in and was dealing with my leasing agent,  XXXX . She claimed I would not be charged for the spotting in the guest room by the back patio as it was there when I moved in. I again submitted this information and I just recently found out that even though I was disputing the charges they reported to the credit company without responding.

Complaint narrative:
I have continued to receive communications by e-mail for several payday loan companies saying I still owe money which I went through a payday loan relief company to payoff any that I did have and that has all been completed over 2 years ago. I feel as this whole scam of payday loans is unfortunately somehow allowed to continue as they probably figure that people forget and will probably give up and pay what they say. Also my husband and I went through bankruptcy which was completed last XX/XX/XXXX and there were some loans that were applied in the bankruptcy but the companies never pursued in a timely manner with the bankruptcy rules and then were not included. I must admit all of this is very confusing. The payday loan relief company we went through was XXXX XXXX XXXX, phone XXXX and at that time XXXX was the person handling our case. Everything was paid in this plan. XXXX had a Revocation of Authority to Contact Third Parties and if any companies tried to do this it is considered a violation of the Right to Financial Privacy Act, 12 USC 3401. Just as a note ; GOVERNMENT ACTION Golden Valled Lending, Inc. On XX/XX/XXXX the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) filed a complaint against Golden Valley Lending , Inc., Silver Cloud Financial , Inc., Mountain Summit Financial , Inc.,  and Majestic Lake Financial , Inc. Case # XXXX <P/>The complaint from CFPB alleges that, The companies deceived consumers by collecting debts they were not legally owed. The CFPB also alleges that the four lenders could not legally collect on these debts because the loans were void under state laws governing interest rate caps or the licensing of lenders. The CFPB alleges that the lenders made deceptive demands and illegally took money from consumer bank accounts for debts that consumers did not legally owe. <P/>The case is currently pending. <P/>Thank you for reviewing my information :

I had a {$2000.00} secured credit card with USAA since XX/XX/XXXXNo late payments & perfect payment record. In XX/XX/XXXXI was overwhelmed by debt & filed for bankruptcy. Unknown to me my USAA account was included in the Bankruptcy. Shortly after filing USAA sent me a letter stating that my account was now closed with them.
<P/>
I called them & asked what happens now. They told me that I owed them about {$700.00} and they would subtract that amount from the {$2000.00} credit on the account & send me a check for about {$1300.00}. I waited for this refund XXXX thru XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I called them & spoke to a rep named XXXX & I asked what the delay was in me getting my refund.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
We have been working on a modification with Nationstar for over three years. We hired a lawyer for a lawsuit against them, but every complaint against them was dropped for different reasons. Nationstar has been impossible to work with, always a different " point of contact ''. There have probably been at least 15 different ones, none of whom EVER knew anything about our loan. I always had to tell all my information every time. That 's why we hired a lawyer to help us. Through an outside contact, we have filed many modification packages. They were all turned down for one reason or another. We were only asking them to put the arrears as a balloon payment at the end of the mortgage, give us a 30 year loan and keep the interest at 3 1/2 % instead of the 5 % it was going up to. They would offer NOTHING even though no one has ever lived in this house but the XXXX family since it was built in XXXX. My husband grew up here and after his father died, we moved here in XX/XX/XXXX <P/>My husband will be XXXX XXXX XXXX this year and he has XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. He is weak and having to leave this home would do him in. I ca n't imagine how he would survive it. Our grandchildren live very close and are home several times during the week, playing in the front yard. It is our home. Seventy-five years of memories are here. It would be impossible to move out. We also make extra money by renting our a back house and we would lose this source of income if we had to leave. <P/>I just do n't understand how a company, no matter how impersonal, could be so cruel. We are still trying to get a low-cost mortgage with interest only for five or 10 years or a reverse mortgage. The reverse mortgage would be ideal except that Nationstar has run the mortgage from {$870000.00} to over {$1.00} million. So of course we could pay over {$200000.00} to bring the mortgage current, but then we would have to begin making payments of {$5500.00} a month which we ca n't afford. This could all have been handled quickly by Nationstar in a couple of months, but they 've stalled and stalled and run up all this overages which I do n't think are all legitimate but I have no way of finding out. <P/>In the past three. Plus years, we have paid money we did n't really have to our lawyers ( who have been very fair and very supportive ) and are basically worse off than when we started. I just ca n't believe there is n't a solution to this. The truth is we ca n't possibly afford to move out. Is there really a company who would put a couple who are XXXX and XXXX years old out f their home? Apparently!! I believe this is elder abuse in some form. <P/>I think Nationstar will do anything to get our home and they do n't care about the consequences.

Complaint narrative:
On or about XX/XX/XXXXvia email I was offered a 3.2 % 7/1ARM on a 30 year XXXX loan, not believing it I asked for email verification that that was the correct rate, XXXX XXXX of Huntington bank assured me it was. At that point I ok 'd her to pull my credit report and move forward with the loan. After she told me that actually she had made a mistake and the rate was really 3.9 %. She then promised to remove the credit pull from my record ( all in email ). Having harmed my credit the next place I had pull my credit gave me a less desirable mortgage where her intentional and willfull bait and switch could and did do serious damage to my financial future. I also have no evidence that this is n't a common occurrence at Huntington or with this terrible loan officer in particular and would like it further investigated.
