Company: Opportunity Financial, LLC
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I just went through a bunch of statements that were sent to me and man, there are so many mistakes! I need some proof to clear things up. Can you provide me with some documents that break down the finance charge? I want to know exactly how you calculated it, including stuff like the average daily balance and periodic rate for each period. Oh, and if you used the Federal Reserve prime rate, make sure to factor in any changes that affected the interest. Did you use the average daily balance method? And did it include or exclude new purchases? Also, if the finance charge includes insurance to protect the creditor, tell me what type of insurance it is ( like legal or debt suspension ) and how much it cost in each period. How did you miss all these errors?!

Company: NETWORK CAPITAL FUNDING CORP
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had an appraisal on my home in XX/XX/XXXX to have my XXXX removed. On XX/XX/XXXX, I made an over the phone payment to the mortgage company to lower my balance below the threshold required for removal. The XXXX was not removed. 

XX/XX/XXXX, the XXXX is still not removed after multiple calls inquiring as to why. The mortgage company then made me get another appraisal, which they are charging me {$190.00} for, because the previous appraisal expired after 90 days. The XXXX  was removed mid XX/XX/XXXX. 

Im seeking a refund for the XXXX payments that I continued to make after the first appraisal process was complete, from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. The company has already agreed that a refund will be provided. 

I called in XX/XX/XXXX and the company said the refund would apply to my XXXX payment. It wasnt. 
Then I called in XX/XX/XXXX and the company said it would be applied to my XXXX payment. It wasnt. Then I called again on XX/XX/XXXX, and now they company is telling me that it wont be resolved until XX/XX/XXXX. 

It is now over a year since this process began and they wont give me my money back after a mistake they made by not originally processing the XXXX removal correctly on XX/XX/XXXX.

All of a sudden, in XX/XX/XXXX, they started allowing LIMITED ACCESS, to the card. When I asked why, they told me my access, had been restricted, except for making payments. When I went to the website, and checked my statements, I found, that someone in their organization had listed/changed my account address to TWO different addresses in XXXX XXXX  XXXX I live in XXXX XXXX! And, I contacted them, in XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX, to complain about this.They first told me : that they reactivated the account. But, I was ONLY allowed to MAKE PAYMENTS, to the account! Then, in XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX, they told me : that I could only continue to make payments. So, I applied for a different card, not knowing that they were associated with the that new card, as well. So, after submitting my application for the new card, it was DENIED, because it was affiliated with this same company.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I'm a new Carrington mortgage customer. My loan was transferred earlier this year. I've had trouble making my payments to them because they will sit on checks sent from other financial institutions too long before processing. This happened to me twice in XXXX XXXX so now they won't let me pay by check. In each case, they sat on the checks for longer then ten days. If the checks were processed in a normal amount of time, the funds would have been in the account. 

When I called in XXXX to discuss why they take so long to process, the gentlemen said that's not the best way to pay them because they take so long to process. Now I only have the option to send secure funds through XXXX XXXX or money order. Money order isn't a good option for me because I travel out of the country often. Now when I send the funds through XXXX XXXX, it costs an additional {$50.00} to pay the bill. 

This company operates like a mom and pop grocery store that doesn't accept credit or debit cards. They want you to setup automatic payments from them to other financial institutions, but the way they operate, I don't trust them with sharing any other account information from my banks because I would bet that they also don't do a good job with information security the way they operate. I did not have trouble paying my previous mortgage company and paying this group should not be this difficult. 

I spoke to an agent and then was transferred to XXXX on the escalation team today ) XX/XX/23 and she was unhelpful and blamed all this on my late payments in XXXX XXXX. I shouldn't be forced to deal with the hassle of sending certified funds because Carrington mortgage sits on checks received like hens waiting for eggs to hatch.
