Consumer complaint received 2021-12-01 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
re : Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing. 

Loan account # XXXX. 

I recently refinanced my house in XXXX XXXX After the refi, the mortgage loan was once again sold to a different lender and Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing is my new mortgage servicer starting XXXXXXXX. Before, during and after the refinance process, I have maintained my homeowner hazard insurance policy linked to the above loan # and it has always been up-to-date and active. My current insurance policy coverage period is XXXX to XXXX ( see attachment ). On XXXX, I received a letter from Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing dated XXXX stating " Our records show that your hazard insurance expired and we do not have evidence that you have obtained new coverage. Because hazard insurance is required on your property, we plan to buy insurance for your property. You must pay us for any period during which the insurance we buy is in effect but you do not have insurance. You should immediately provide us with your insurance information '' and to fax, upload or mail my home hazard insurance policy declarations page to XXXX. On page XXXX of the letter, it states " Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing is a debt collector. This letter is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. '' ( see attached copy of the letter ) This is an attempt from XXXX to fraudulently collect a debt that is fraudulently created by XXXX based on their false claim that my house is not covered under any hazard insurance but I already have the insurance and it's not expired. 

I immediately uploaded the home hazard insurance policy declarations page on the website as instructed in the letter, proving my house is covered under active home hazard insurance. 

This is not the first time Shellpoint have tried to scam homeowners and tried to impose extra charges to their loan account by claiming XXXX is buying forced-placed hazard insurance for the property while the homeowners in fact do have active hazard insurance. There have been at least XXXX class action lawsuit in XX/XX/XXXX against Shellpoint Mortgage regarding lender placed insurance. There is at least XXXX open class action lawsuit now against XXXX charges for property insurance even if homeowners already have a policy, which involve cases similar to what happened to me. 

I demand Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing immediately update my home hazard insurance info linked to the above loan account # XXXX. 

I demand Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing immediately and permanently cancel any charges and fees associated with the forced-placed hazard insurance XXXX purchased fraudulently for loan # XXXX. 

I demand Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing, in the future, never to try to scam me again or try to do anything fraudulent related to my loan account or the loan holders in any ways. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Company : Synchrony Financial Product : XXXX Credit Card My Statement Balance : {$200.00} Due Date : XX/XX/2021 I was late by XXXX day in making payment due to connectivity issues and made the full payment on XX/XX/2021. Synchrony assessed a late fee of {$29.00} and an interest charge of {$5.00} which were tagged to my next month 's statement. 

I spoke to a representative on XX/XX/2021 and asked for late fee and interest charge to be waived. They waived the late fee but cited inability in waiving the interest charge as it was not their fault. The APR  applicable on my account according to them is 26.99 %. As I was late by only XXXX day my assumption was that I would be charged interest for only XXXX day ( around XXXX cents ) but the online representative told me they charge interest for a whole month at the minimum. 

In my mind this is unfair and the interest should only be accrued for the number of days the payment is late by. This is effectively making the interest rate thousands of % for just XXXX day of lateness. 

I would really appreciate any assistance in reaching out to this organization and putting forth my point of view.
