Consumer complaint received 2023-04-21 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I paid off the balance due on my mortgage via wire transfer. I still had approximately {$2000.00} in my escrow account. I have attached my XX/XX/XXXX statement, showing the principal due and the escrow balance, and a confirmation from my bank of the wire transfer. 

The mortgage holder has informed me, in a phone conversation, that it would take about 30 days for them to refund the escrow amount. 

While not a major problem for me personally, I find this practice outrageous. I see no reason why the money should not be refunded much more quickly - within a few days at most. Doing this every time a mortgage is paid off puts a huge amount of money in their pocket, for no reason.

Complaint narrative:
I was a victim of identity theft. The thief/thieves were able to take out credit cards in my name as well as open bank accounts and obtain personal loans without my knowledge. I have been writing to the commenity bank, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX  as well as XXXX XXXX and XXXX regarding this issue on and off for about two years. 
Victorias secret is reporting a charged off account of {$0.00} on my credit report, XXXX {$6500.00} charged off account, XXXX XXXX {$0.00} charged off account, XXXX XXXX  {$0.00} charged off account. I have requested multiple times for validation and verification to be sent to me from these creditors showing proof that these accounts were in fact opened by me, since they have been reporting these on my credit report for the past few years hurting me financially. I have let them know that there were multiple names and addresses that did not belong to me, which most of them the bureaus have removed, but there is still a variation of my name that i have never been associated with that remains. I have also been in touch with the 3 bureaus begging them to investigate and request proof of these accounts with no luck, seems that my rights as a consumer are being violated, hence the reason I am reaching out to the CFPB for help in this matter.
