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

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I became 100 % XXXX veteran and have a property tax exemption. The exemption is dated back to XX/XX/year> leaving me a prorated portion to pay in 2024 of {$5200.00}. During this process I informed Newrez lending as well as XXXX XXXX of this and they both honored the exemption. This caused Newrez to do another escrow analysis which caused my mortgage to decrease resulting in an escrow surplus and it was disbursed to me. They are no longer obligated to make that payment for me and I would have to pay the adjusted amount in 2024 and XXXX taxes going forward. However, Newrez decided to pay my property taxes to the county in the amount of {$9900.00} estimated. Now I have a {$8600.00} deficit on my mortgage escrow account which will cause my mortgage payments to increase drastically. I know I am responsible for the {$5200.00} payment but Newrez took it upon themselves to pay and will not ask the county for a refund and basically told me its my problem not theirs.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Debt that has been there and sold, recycled and put back on my credit report as new, when its been there past the timeframe it should be.A credit reporting company generally can report most negative information for seven years and it has been way past 7 years. 
I then ask that you then provide proof that I have given authorization of an inquiry on my credit. You have not responded to my request and you are in DEFAULT. 
I am exercising my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609, to request information regarding those derogatory items that is listed on my consumer credit report : All good standing credits should remain. 
Immediately remove any derogatory reporting to the credit reporting agencies because you are causing defamation of my character and I will be forced to take legal actions against you.

If you ignore this letter and do not delete the inquiry or dont provide STRICT proof of authorization I will have no other choice but to have my local Congressman promptly forward a formal complaint to the Federal Trade Commission and Attorney General for further scrutiny of this matter.

Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

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. List all accounts : "

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Hello, i received a letter from synchrony bank dated XX/XX/XXXX, stating that since my XXXX XXXX has expired, my interest rate will go up to 30 %. I have had this acct for XXXX plus years, with a zero interest rate. When i applied, i received a zero interest rate, promo offer.six years plus later, i received the above referenced letter. My acct wasn't covered under the SCRA act, as i was not an XXXX XXXX member. On XX/XX/XXXX, i called XXXX, and spoke with XXXX XXXX. He couldn't answer my questions that i had about the letter, regarding the increase of interest rate from zero to 30 %. He put me in contact with XXXX, his supervisor. Both conversations were recorded. She basically said, since you are no longer XXXX XXXX, the rate will go up. I explained that, when i applied for the acct, i wasn't XXXX XXXX, and also sent a copy of my XXXX. She basically stated, since you were no longer XXXX XXXX, the interest rate will go up. On XX/XX/XXXX, i called again, this time i spoke with XXXX, explained the reason for my call. She said the same thing as XXXX XXXX. I asked to speak to her supervisor, she put me in contact with XXXX. I asked if the whole balance was subject to the 30 % interest rate, she said yes. I read her the letter, since she couldn't download a copy. She said the letter says yes, i will be paying the whole balance at 30 %. I asked her for a phone number for corporate headquarters, to get more information, since i wasn't happy with her response. She said contact thru postal service or email. No phone number. She mentioned several times the call was being recorded. While on the phone with XXXX, i asked her to send me an email stating that I will be responsible for the whole balance at 30 %. Not just the balance of what i charge after XX/XX/XXXX. The whole balance! She declined to do so. I then reminded her the conversation was being recorded. I told that I didn't understand the legalise of the letter, and give it to me in language, a layman would understand. My complaint is, are they legally allowed to retroactively charge me 30 % for the whole balance. Right after I called the first time, i received a notice that my available credit limit would go up to {$7100.00}. XXXX stated that i shouldn't have a XXXX % interest rate at all. Someone at the bank XXXX XXXX
