Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I started having issues with the mortgage company, Shellpoint, in XX/XX/2021, my mortgage had been in forbearance due to covid. An extension of the forbearance was given in XX/XX/2021 through my contact agent for my mortgage, during this time my agent had offered for me to do a loan modification with Shellpoint before my extension would end by XXXX. My agent never told me I had to pay any certain amount or that my mortgage was late. When the papers for the loan modification were sent out, I chose not to go through with the modification because I wanted to refinance with another mortgage lender, signing those papers would have been a hindrance to me refinancing and I expressed this to my contact agent, he then told me that I would have until XX/XX/2021 to make a full payment of XXXX before they would have to report my mortgage account as past due. I chose to make the full payment amount to bring my account current around XX/XX/2021 and this was suppose to bring my account current before the extension period ended. In XX/XX/2021, after I brought my account current, XXXX reported to the credit bureaus that my mortgage account was past due from XX/XX/2021, which is untrue because I had gotten an extension from my contact agent in XXXX of 2021, plus I was still making payments while in forbearance but Shellpoint was holding these payments and not applying them to my account. When I contacted Shellpoint about these credit reports, my original contact agent all of sudden became unavailable and I have not spoken with him since the loan modification inquiry, instead I spoke with another agent who did not know why Shellpoint was reporting my loan late because it was paid up and in good standing and this particular agent said she would sent a note to their reporting department about my issue. Shellpoint in XX/XX/2021 yet again began reporting the account as current and then reporting the account as late in multiple reports, ruining my credit, and I have reason to believe they are doing this in an attempt to ruin my credit so that I am not able to refinance, my score went from XXXX to XXXX because of their false reporting, and leave them to go to another lender. None of these negative reports started until I expressed to my original contact agent that I was not going to sign a loan modification and that I wanted to refinance with another lender outside of Shellpoint. In XX/XX/2021, I had spoken with a supervisor at Shellpoint who advised me to make this complaint with the consumer financial protection bureau and with Shellpoint 's own complaint department. When I spoke to this same supervisor, she also told me that other people were calling about the same issue, so this seems like a practice that they frequently do to people.

Company: General Motors Financial Company, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I filed a complaint with the XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX has returned it as an alleged invalid complaint, see paragraph below for a timeline of events. GM financial has failed to resolved the issue even though XXXX XXXX has accepted 100 % liability. I've attempted endlessly to settle this and can not because GM Financial has the car hostage, my credit now shows a closed account due to a recovery which is absurd considering XXXX XXXX has agreed to pay. It is XXXX and I have been without help and a car since XXXX. GM Financial has refused to help and only gives general information regarding a resolution. This type practice can in no way be in good faith or fair dealings and in my opinion predatory. Due to GM financials failure to act or their unfair acts on multiple occasions has caused me to be here. 

" On XXXX a vehicle was racing and ran a red light totaling my vehicle. It was subsequently impounded. For about 11 days I attempted to file a claim with the responsible party and could not do so due to the driver providing an incorrect policy number. On the 11th day, I contacted my insurance company to file a claim. On the 12th day we finally were able to get a police report from XXXX XXXX. Through some due diligence on about the 13th day after the accident, XXXX was able to locate the policy using the VIN and XXXX filed a claim on my behalf with XXXX XXXX ( The responsible parties insurance ). On XX/XX/XXXX, GM Financial sent me an email regarding receiving an impound notice. Because the claim was not yet resolved, I did not provide any information to GM until I've had the opportunity to speak with XXXX XXXX. Before I could settle the claim, on XX/XX/XXXX GM Financial took possession of the car without my knowledge. They stated the car was recovered due to them paying the impound bill. I told them XXXX XXXX was going to pay it but they had no explanation for me at all. I've emailed, called, and no one and I mean no one will help me with XXXX XXXX, GM Financial. I can't buy a new car because GM financial has noted my car was a voluntary repossession and closed the account. XXXX XXXX will not speak with me because of GM Financial. My heart is so broken that it seems like everything that could go wrong based off the decisions of the impound, lienholder, insurance companies ... ... .I strongly believe that GM Financial does not want to process any claims under the GAP insurance which is why they have ultimately ignored me. I fully believe that GM Financial has settled with XXXX XXXX received payout, and closed the account to avoid covering the GAP portion I paid for. It is unfair, unethical, and bad dealings. GM has closed the account and noted a voluntary repossession. " Please help me. I really need a car to get to work as I am changing positions.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Dear Sir or Maam, I recently conducted a review of my credit report, and I noticed that your agency showed one credit inquiry that I find to be problematic. The inquiry in question was apparently made by ONEMAIN FINANCIAL on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. XXXX XXXX, and I have no recollection of doing any business with ONEMAIN FINANCIAL. I contacted ONEMAIN FINANCIAL, and asked them to take action to get this inquiry removed from their records and to erase any record of the inquiry with all credit reporting agencies. They assured me they would comply with my request and take whatever steps necessary to resolve the issue, but I wanted to contact you as well, just to make sure this gets done. 

The second inquiry was made by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I do not remember working with this company, but I do remember working with XXXX XXXX ; as they are the company I used for my recent auto loan. However, I applied for that loan just a few weeks after applying for similar loans from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Based on my research, I believe only XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  should be the only inquires showing on my report. Please investigate these inquiries at your earliest possible convenience, as I am going to be applying for a home mortgage in the near future. I would very much like to ensure my credit score is showing an accurate depiction of my creditworthiness. Please update me with a full report on your findings within the next two weeks. I look forward to having this situation rectified as soon as possible. Thanks for your prompt attention to this matter.
