Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Every year in XXXX ( for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ), New Rez LLC has issued a notice saying that there is a surplus in my Escrow account and they ask how I would like to have the surplus returned to me. Every year I request a refund check. The check never arrives, but the surplus payment is deducted from my escrow account. 
Every year I call and am told a different story such as : it was credited directly to my bank account ( when it wasn't ), or I need to wait a few more days. 
In XXXX I did not receive a check until XXXX ( after chasing numerous times ) - well outside the 30 day period for returning the money. 
In XXXX I did not receive the check until XXXX ( after chasing numerous times ) - again well outside the 30 days. 
In XXXX it shows the surplus as deducted from my Escrow account in XXXX but I have once again received no check. I can not get through to them on the phone in a reasonable amount of time this year to chase my refund. 
It appears they intentionally do not mail the refund checks, on the assumption that people will not notice, and if anyone does notice, they simply mail a check to them there and then. Additionally, it is almost impossible to reach anyone to speak to about this, so it's a deterrent for anyone trying to follow up. 
I have further details - dates, amounts and paperwork, etc. to back all of this up. 
This needs to be investigated as not returning {$100.00} or {$200.00} to one customer is a very small amount, but would add up to hundreds of thousands/millions if they do it to every customer, which they probably do.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding unauthorized accounts appearing on my credit report. Despite my repeated attempts to have these accounts removed, they persist, causing significant damage to my financial reputation and well-being. The accounts in question are in clear violation of 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes. It is evident that the credit bureaus have no permissible purpose to report these fraudulent items without my explicit consent. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining. 

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''

Complaint narrative:
I opened the account with SoFi on XX/XX/XXXX and the last direct deposit was made XX/XX/XXXX. I have never taken money out of the account. They froze my account in XX/XX/XXXX stating that my account was flagged for suspicious activity. I called them immediately to request that they unfreeze my account, and the individual I spoke to said it would unfreeze within a week of investigating the activity. I called them several months later on XX/XX/XXXX to see why my account was still frozen. On XX/XX/XXXX I called them and they told me what the suspicious activity was that resulted in their freezing my account. They asked for information on the source of XXXX checks, which I provided to them on XX/XX/XXXX over phone call. They did not ask for any other information, yet as of today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) my account is still frozen.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against TransUnion for violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). TransUnion is unjustly preventing me from accessing my own credit file and is also blocking lenders from accessing my credit report. They have informed me that these restrictions will remain in place until I cease disputing inaccurate information on my credit report. 

This action by TransUnion directly infringes upon my legal right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. I have a right to challenge any errors and have them corrected. TransUnion 's refusal to allow me to access my credit report and their interference with lenders ' access to my report are causing me significant harm, including : Denial of Credit : I am unable to apply for loans or credit cards due to the lack of access to my credit report. 
Increased Interest Rates : If I am able to obtain credit, it may be at a higher interest rate due to the lack of accurate information.

Difficulty Renting or Buying a Home : Landlords and mortgage lenders may be unable to process my applications.

I have attempted to resolve this issue directly with TransUnion, but they have refused to lift the restrictions unless I withdraw my disputes. This is a clear violation of the FCRA, which protects my right to dispute inaccurate information.

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and take appropriate action to compel TransUnion to restore my access to my credit report and allow lenders to access it as well. I am also seeking compensation for any damages I have suffered as a result of TransUnion 's illegal actions.
