Complaint narrative:
Subject : Urgent Request for Investigation and Deletion of Incorrect Charge-Off XXXX XXXX ACCOUNT ENDING XXXX I am contacting you to formally challenge and seek immediate investigation and removal of incorrect charge-off entries made by a third-party collection agency on my credit report. These entries have severely impacted my financial standing, hindering my ability to secure a home mortgage, an auto loan, and additional credit facilities. 
I wish to highlight that I have no contractual ties with this collection agency. Their actions of reporting my credit information without any contractual basis are unjustified and breach multiple legal norms concerning credit reporting and consumer privacy : 1. **Unauthorized Reporting** : The reported charge-offs, which suggest debts I do not recognize, have been documented on my credit report without my agreement, violating established principles of lawful credit reporting, also referred to as certificates of indebtedness.

2. **Absence of Form 1099-C** : I was not provided with Form 1099-C for debt cancellation by the agency, which is essential for accurate tax reporting and compliance with IRS requirements. This omission could lead to potential risks of tax non-compliance.

3. **Infringement of Privacy Rights** : This action violates the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), which ensures stringent safeguards against the unauthorized release of personal information.

4. **Lack of Contractual Agreement** : There is no formal contract between myself and the agency, thus their reporting of my credit information directly infringes on my consumer rights.

5. **Exercising Opt-Out Rights** : In accordance with regulations under 12 CFR 1016.1, 12 CFR 1016.4, 12 CFR 1016.7, 15 USC 6802 ( b ), and 15 USC 6805, I am formally revoking any implied permissions for the dissemination or reporting of my credit information.

Given these concerns, I urgently request a review and elimination of these incorrect records from my credit report, and I ask for a written confirmation of this deletion. Please note that I am prepared to take further actions, including legal recourse, to rectify my credit report and protect my rights. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter, and I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Response to : XXXX XXXX New Rez dba Shellpoint Mortgage Loan Servicing XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, SC XXXX Reference # XXXX CFPB Complaint ID : XXXX Property : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX Your letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, has been received and evaluated. According to ( paragraph XXXX ) Shellpoints completed audit review of my loan that was discharged from the XXXX XXXXXXXX Bankruptcy, shows the XX/XX/XXXX, contractual installment ( my payment ) for {$960.00} was applied towards the XX/XX/XXXX, Mortgage Statement. 

Question : Why would Shellpoint/New Rez apply my XX/XX/XXXX, installment payment to XX/XX/XXXX, monthly installment payment? Did I overpay? Is that why payments are going toward future contractual installments? 

( See attached proof of payment/bank receipts ) : Shellpoint/New Rez received XX/XX/XXXX, monthly installment payment of {$960.00} on XX/XX/XXXX ( a day early ). You also received the XX/XX/XXXX, monthly installment payment of {$960.00} on XX/XX/XXXX ( a day early ). 

( See attached proof of payment/bank receipts ) : Shellpoint/New Rez received the XX/XX/XXXX, monthly installment payment of {$960.00} on XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX date ). But recklessly applied it to XX/XX/XXXX, contractual installment before the contractual installment period even started. This is a blatant misappropriation of payments which has my account in the arrears. 

Your letter purposely omits dates Shellpoint/New Rez received my contractual payments because of misappropriation and continued failure to not show missed payments on their mortgage statements. You are receiving my payment through electronic funds transfer through bill payments but still fraudulently misappropriate funds received creating delinquencies. It is a very shady business practice that needs a serious upgrade before a suit is pursued against this company. 

I have attached Mortgage Statements from XX/XX/XXXX, to XX/XX/XXXX, where you stated the XX/XX/XXXX, contractual installment ( my payment ) was satisfied on XX/XX/XXXX. Included with the mortgage statement are the proof of payment for each monthly contractual installment and noted the month the payment should have been applied to. Use the attached proof of payment to correct my loan account as well as Escrow account. 

I am also requesting an escrow account analysis and statement to be emailed to me at XXXX.
