Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: United Shore Financial Services, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
To Whom it may concern, Please find below a letter addressed to our mortgage servicer, United Wholesale Mortgage ( UWM ), regarding a dispute over a recently assessed escrow shortage. 
We were informed of a potential escrow shortage ; however, according to the information available to us, our escrow account does not currently show a negative balance. While we understand there is an upcoming tax bill due in two months, it appears that UWM has preemptively included an estimated shortage of {$3700.00} and adjusted our monthly payment to {$3800.00}, effective XX/XX/XXXX. 
This unexpected and significant increase was alarming. Moreover, when attempting to make our usual mortgage payment through UWMs online portal, we were locked out due to this flagged shortage. When we contacted customer service numerous times for assistance, we were met with a dismissive response and were told we must either pay the full amount immediately or submit a written request to UWMs Research Department in New Jersey to be considered for a 48-month repayment plan. 
As retired seniors on a fixed income, this sudden increase has caused considerable financial strain on our household. We are respectfully requesting that UWM reconsider this escrow adjustment and allow for a more manageable solution. 
Please advise us on what supporting documentation you XXXX need to assist with this review. We appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your guidance. 
Respectfully submitted, XXXX XXXX. 

To : United Wholesale Mortgage ( UWM ) From : XXXX  Date : XXXX Re : Loan Number # XXXX  ( enclosed personal check & copy of XXXX coupon for reference ) To Whom It May Concern, Please find enclosed a check in the amount of {$3300.00} as payment for XXXX. 
We are currently disputing the escrow account shortage, and despite multiple conversations, your office has declined to accept our regular monthly payment. As a result, we have been locked out of the system due to a partial payment, which, according to your representative XXXX, is not acceptable. 
It is our understanding that your office is unwilling to wait until the next tax bill is issued to make the necessary escrow adjustments. This is especially concerning given that homestead and senior exemptions will be appliedneither of which has been reflected in the 2024 tax bill. 
We are making this payment in good faith while the escrow issue is being resolved and respectfully request that you reconsider your position. 
Sincerely,

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute concerning the inaccurate reporting of an XXXX XXXX tradeline on my credit report. TransUnion responded claiming they were unable to locate my credit report for the dispute, despite the account being clearly listed on my file. This response constitutes a failure to reinvestigate under FCRA 1681i. They also failed to mark the account as disputed under FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 3 ). I have now resent the dispute along with proper identification, but I am filing this complaint to document TransUnions noncompliance and mishandling of my consumer report.

Complaint narrative:
We are a nonprofit organization using a XXXX  XXXX account to receive donations. Several weeks ago ( exact date unknown ), we were locked out of our XXXX  account. When attempting to access it, we receive the following error message : Theres an issue with your account! Until its fixed you wont be able to receive donations or access your XXXX  XXXX profile. Head over to your PayPal account to learn more. 

We contacted PayPal and resolved the issue on their end as of XX/XX/year>. PayPal confirmed there are no further issues and that our XXXX  account should now be fully functional. However, we are still completely locked out of XXXX. 

We have contacted XXXX  customer support approximately twice per week since this issue began. On our most recent call, on XX/XX/year>, we were told the issue had been escalated and would be resolved within XXXX hours. As of XX/XX/year>, it remains unresolved. Every representative repeats the same message that the issue has been escalated to their engineers with no timeline, no follow-up, and no resolution. 

XXXX  is currently holding {$980.00} in charitable donations that we can not access. This ongoing issue is significantly disrupting our nonprofits operations and our ability to use donated funds as intended. 

We are filing this complaint with the CFPB as part of a broader effort to seek resolution. If Venmo continues to withhold our funds and deny access to our account, we will pursue additional legal action.
