Consumer complaint received 2024-12-03 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am an XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX who assumed a VA loan in XXXX from a military seller who had a mortgage with Freedom Mortgage. Shortly after closing the sale, I became unable to access my online account ( which contained basic features such a as viewing remaining balances, escrow balance, setting payment schedules, etc. ) When I reached out to Freedom to rectify the issue, they told me it was a problem with all loans that were VA loan assumptions and they were working to fix it. In early XXXX, after several months of phones calls inquiring about when the issue would be resolved, I sent an email asking for a firm timeline on when the problem would fixed. Freedom Mortgages response on XX/XX/year> included the line we do not have a specific timeframe for when this issue may be resolved, nor can we confirm that the updates will be implemented. I interpret the second half of that sentence to mean they will not commit to restoring this basic service that they provide to other mortgagees, but deny to those who assumed VA loans. 

I do not believe Freedom Mortgage is providing the level of service required of mortgage companies that are authorized to issue VA loans, and I would like this issue resolved. 

Thank you for your time. 


Regards, XXXX XXXX.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Description of the Issue : I contacted Macys customer service on XX/XX/year> to pay the full balance of what I owed. I made the payment in full as instructed. However, the following month, I began receiving charges for late fees and interest. Over two months, these charges totaled {$86.00}. 
Actions Taken : * I contacted customer service multiple times to resolve the issue, explaining that I had already paid my full balance. 
* Despite my efforts, customer service representatives refused to help, insisting that I must pay the late fees and interest. 
* I requested to speak with a supervisor, but the supervisor gave me the same response and did not address the issue. 
I am frustrated because I paid my full balance, and I do not understand why I am being charged additional fees. This has caused unnecessary financial and emotional stress.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to follow up on the outcome of my recent disputes regarding inaccuracies on my credit reports. The consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ) have indicated that the creditors have " validated '' the accounts in question. However, I am submitting this letter along with proof of Metro 2 compliance violations, which highlight inconsistencies and inaccuracies that demonstrate these accounts could not have been properly validated.

Accounts in Question are attached to this complaint Inconsistent Reporting Across CRAs : The reported accounts contain inconsistencies in key data fields, such as the balance amount, date of first delinquency, or payment history. This is a clear violation of Metro 2 compliance, which mandates uniformity in the reporting of credit data under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ).

Lack of Proper Validation : The FCRA obligates CRAs to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed information. Given the attached evidence, it is evident that the investigation conducted was inadequate and failed to resolve discrepancies.

Failure to Correct or Delete Inaccurate Information : Pursuant to FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), if an item is found to be inaccurate or unverifiable, the CRA must correct or delete the information. The CRAs reliance solely on creditor validation without addressing the evident inconsistencies violates this provision.

Metro 2 Data Reporting Standards : The Metro 2 format requires that data be accurately and consistently reported across CRAs. Attached, I have provided documentation showing that the accounts in question are non-compliant with these standards, which further calls into question their validity.

Applicable Laws Supporting My Claims FCRA 1681e ( b ) : CRAs are required to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy in the consumers credit report. The inconsistencies and errors identified clearly violate this section.

FCRA 1681i ( a ) : When a consumer disputes information, the CRA must perform a reasonable reinvestigation. The lack of effort in resolving the discrepancies outlined herein suggests non-compliance with this requirement.

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : If the creditors reporting these accounts are considered debt collectors, their failure to validate these accounts may also violate 15 U.S.C. 1692g, which requires validation of debt upon dispute.

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 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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX  XXXX, Tx XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XX/XX/year> Office of the Attorney General of Texas Consumer Protection Division XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Subject : Complaint Against Credit Acceptance Corporation for Predatory Lending and Usury Practices Dear Texas Attorney General XXXX XXXX , I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Credit Acceptance Corporation ( CAC ) for predatory lending practices that have severely impacted my financial well-being. I believe CACs actions constitute usury and violate consumer protection laws in Texas. 

Details of My Situation : Loan Details : See Attached Documents Deceptive Practices : CAC misrepresented the true cost of the loan, leading me to believe I would pay a reasonable interest rate. Instead, I discovered that additional hidden charges and inflated loan terms resulted in an effective interest rate far exceeding state usury limits. 
Affordability Concerns : CAC approved my loan without proper evaluation of my ability to repay, resulting in severe financial strain. 
Aggressive Collection Methods : After struggling to meet payments, I faced [ repossession, exorbitant late fees, legal threats, etc. 

Violations : CACs practices align with allegations highlighted by your office and other states, including : Misleading loan disclosures Inflated interest rates masked by add-ons and hidden fees Targeting vulnerable consumers with unaffordable loans, predicting high default rates to ensure profit through repossessions and collections. 

Requested Action : I respectfully request that your office investigate CACs business practices in my case and take appropriate action. Additionally, I seek : Review and adjustment of my loan terms Restitution for excessive fees and penalties paid A thorough review to protect other Texas consumers from similar practices Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this issue. Please feel free to contact me for any additional information or documentation needed. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
