Consumer complaint received 2024-05-30 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Twice now, after I send in my payment, on time and using the supplied envelope, the payment fails to be posted. And they put me through the ringer for their incompetence. 

The first time was in XX/XX/year>. Within weeks of them supposedly not receiving payment, I began being threatened with getting reported to the Credit Bureau. I had to cancel the first check I sent them, costing me {$35.00} dollars. I believe that check was eventually found and there was attempted to cash it but it came up as insufficient funds according to Newrez ( because has been canceled! ). I reissued another check with two months payment, and late fees were assessed which they said they would not do!! 

Also, none of my information was in their system when I tried to call about it so I could not access my account, not the telephone number they were using to sending me threatening texts, or even my social security number. I had to call every telephone number I could find to reach a live person who finally was able to insert information and put me in the system so I could access my account. Very frustrating and took days. 

Now the payment issue is happened again regarding the XX/XX/year> payment. I sent out 15 separate payments to 15 organizations and everyone received and cashed their check EXCEPT Newrez. They try to blame the Post Office, but everyone else always gets their money.

They don't even let you call to make a single payment, as they state your banking information will be captured and used to make future payments. They are forcing customers into automatic pay systems because they do not want to waste any money on making sure the standard check processing system is working efficiently. 

The company is restructuring which has caused upheaval, but customers should not have to suffer when their mortgage is bought out by another company. They did not act like Mortgage Company, just a Debt Collector as they are always sure to announce. Sad. I wish they never purchased my mortgage from XXXX with whom I had no problems.

Company: Aargon Agency, Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and XXXX XXXX Missouri Laws Dear AARGON AGENCY, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and identity fraud laws, specifically under XXXX XXXX Missouri statutes .

It has unequivocally come to my attention that AARGON AGNCY has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 

In addition to federal law, XXXX XXXX Missouri state law emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. Specifically, Missouri Revised Statutes Section 407.020 regarding deceptive and unfair practices underscores the need for fair and accurate reporting of consumer information. Furthermore, identity fraud laws, such as Missouri Revised Statutes Section 570.223, highlight the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information.

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for AARGON AGNCY to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that AARGON AGNCY immediately cease any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Missouri state laws. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws. 

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA, Missouri state law, and identity fraud laws. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that AARGON AGNCY will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts. This mistake has caused a misrepresentation of the payment status, indicating a billing error by the creditor.

Complaint narrative:
Back on XX/XX/XXXX I sent dispute letters to the three credit bureaus. I disputed several accounts because I didn't believe the information that was being reported was accurate. 
I disputed a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX balance. 
I disputed a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I disagreed with the number of late payments which were being reported for these cards and I asked the bureaus to investigate and correct the reporting of these accounts. No response ever arrived and I waited over two months. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent out another round of letters disputing the same accounts with all three credit bureaus. Today is XX/XX/XXXX and again no response has arrived. I don't understand why I am not receiving any notices or why the credit bureaus feel like they don't have to answer me. My credit is very important to me and I would appreciate if they would at the very least respond to me with something. It took me plenty of time to look up my reports and study them to then take more time to write and mail out these letters to the bureaus. 

I would like the bureaus to do their jobs and send me a response. Is that too much to ask for?
