Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I received a voice mail from Mr. Cooper with the actual customer support number of Mr. Cooper, phone number, XXXX. The voice mail stated " This is Mr. Cooper your home loan company calling about your property at " XXXX XXXX ''. Please call us at XXXX. You will be asked to enter personal message code XXXX. Thank you from Mr. Cooper, we are a debt collector. '' I was suspicious of this message because I have two mortgages from separate companies and the street address mentioned is not a mortgage held at Mr. Cooper 's.

My complaint begins when attempting to contact Mr. Cooper 's about this fraud. Although they state on their site that you can file a complaint, there is not a way to file a written complaint. I spent over a half-hour trying to navigate a phone tree to file this complaint about a fraud. I finally spoke to a customer service agent who took my information and told me that they would leave a note in my account that this occurred. I am complaining because I want written verification about this incident because of the data breach that occurred last year- I'm concerned that my accounts are being targeted. I think Mr. Cooper should make it easier to speak directly to a customer agent regarding fraud and they should give written confirmation to their customers.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Horrible business practices by EquifaxXX/XX/2024- Sent all hard copy Minor Credit Freeze documents to Equifax via standard mail as they requested to implement my minor daughter 's credit freeze ( including my daughter 's birth certificate, my drivers license, completed Equifax Minor Credit Freeze form, etc. ) They do not allow email or other electronic submission. 

XX/XX/2024 - Received letter from Equifax stating they couldn't complete request due to missing items ( didn't say what specifically was missing ) along with another request for the exact same items previously sent. Re-sent the exact same items via standard mail as requested again. 

XX/XX/2024- Received another letter from Equifax stating they couldn't complete request due to missing items ( they again didn't say what specifically was missing ) along with another request for the exact same items previously sent. I then called Equifax to clarify what was needed and was told they actually did have all of the required docs and they stated " the freeze has now been added. '' They then said they were having a technical issue that was preventing a confirmation number from generating, but reassured me that the freeze did go thru. 

XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/24 - Received a Child Credit Alert from Equifax via ID Watchdog with an XX/XX/24 alert date. Called Equifax to determine what prompted the alert and was told my daughter 's credit was not frozen as promised/confirmed. They then stated all of my documentation was expired and I would have to mail in all new copies of everything in order to reauthorize myself then call back a couple of weeks later before they would speak to me. In the meantime they still have not explained what prompted them to issue the Child Credit Alert for my daughter. 

This is ridiculous, especially considering the Minor Credit Freeze process only took me about 10 minutes online with both XXXX and XXXX in XX/XX/2024. While Equifax has made this process unnecessarily long/complicated and also made false confirmations over the past 6 months, they have unnecessarily put my child 's credit at risk.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I opened multiple disputes with a merchant due to me returning items on XX/XX/year> and not receiving a refund. Items were picked up by the merchant 's private shipping company ( images were submitted as proof ). I provided very detailed information about my returns supporting my claim and I was denied because " we were not provided with proof that the merchant agreed to refund the credit card account ''. 

I'm not sure what new practices are going on with other businesses, but it is common knowledge that when customers return items with a business 's return window, a refund should be provided. 

I purchased the items on XX/XX/year>. The items were returned within the XXXX  day return window ( document attached ) and were confirmed received by the merchant 's customer service when I contacted them. The detailed documentation I provided also states that I was to return items by XX/XX/year>, which I clearly did. 

This is very shady behavior from Barclay and I can't believe they tried to get away with this.
