Company: Paramount GR Holdings, LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for my hvac for 10.99 % XXXX  year loan from goodleap financing through my air conditioner repair company. Set up for automatic payment which was to start on XX/XX/2023. The payment was supposed to be XXXX of which I made a payment of XXXX $ when the payment cleared my bank on XX/XX/XXXX. I decided to cancel the auto pay for XX/XX/XXXX when they sent me a reminder a few days before this date. Then they started calling asking what was wrong and explained to them that I made the payment in XXXX on the XXXX and will be making my next payment the on the XXXX of XXXX for the payment amount XXXX and because it was a XXXX paycheck month paid an additional XXXX $ I like to be a month ahead on my installments in case of rain of which weve had a lot this year. Now they sent me a statement and it says my payment is do XX/XX/XXXX of which it technically would be XXXX payment because Im not paying this time till the XXXX  of XXXX.Now it says my interest rate is at 11.49 % and the monthly payment is XXXX $ Why is this when its their payment website that screwed it up. Is there anything I can do about this it is not fair. I think they do this on purpose to change loan rates. I do not like them at all. I have many credit cards and other loans and have never had any problems or issues like this. I have had over 30 good standing credit accounts and know how all this works.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing regarding COVID 19 Forbearance and COVID Protections/ COVID-19 payment deferral : Forbearance and COVID Protections Your records indicate that I was under COVID forbearance from XX/XX/XXXX through XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX. There were no late fees and no negative credit reporting issued for the account during this time. SLS while it offered some some of forbearance did not offer additional COVID protections/COVID-19 payment deferral at the exit of Forebearance despite requests.

COVID-19 payment deferral Immediately after your forbearance plan ends, an amended federal law allows loan servicers ( SLS ) to offer a payment deferral option to homeowners who finish a coronavirus-related forbearancewithout requiring a complete loss mitigation application. SLS Did not do this, therefore making me delinquent internally. 


The Federal CARES Act ( Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ) offers the following protections for homeowners with federally backed mortgages : 1. Mortgage Forbearance. Servicers required to provide 180 days of mortgage forbearance ( with option to extend for an additional 180 days ) to borrowers attesting to COVID-19 financial hardship. Servicer may not charge any fees, interest, or penalties beyond amounts scheduled or calculated as if borrower made payments on time and in full. Applies to federally-backed mortgages ( FHA, VA, RHS, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX  ) . 

2. Credit Protection During COVID-19. Requires that furnishers of information to credit reporting agencies who agree to account forbearance or modified payments due to COVID-19, report a consumers obligations or accounts as current or as the status reported prior to the accommodation during the period of accommodation unless the consumer becomes current. This applies only to accounts for which the consumer has fulfilled requirements pursuant to the forbearance or modified payment agreement.

COVID-19 payment deferral : I was eligible for a COVID-19 payment deferral immediately after your forbearance plan ends. It was not offered or approved My loan is covered under the CARES Act, and loan should be reported as current to credit reporting companies if You were current before receiving a forbearance plan or another accommodation related to COVID-19 and I made your required payments under the forbearance plan or other accommodation ( or were not required to make any payments ).
