Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Protection Team, I am submitting a formal complaint regarding what I believe is an unfair and potentially deceptive lending practice by TD Bank in connection with my construction loan. 

Summary of the Issue I entered into a construction loan with TD Bank. During the construction phase, only part of the loan was disbursed. Upon the loans maturity date, TD Bank : Moved the undisbursed funds into a non-interest-bearing account ( by their own written confirmation ), Converted the loan to permanent financing, Began charging principal and interest payments on the entire original loan amount including funds I have not yet accessed and which they state are not accruing interest in their holding account. Which includes XXXX of undisbursed funds being charged interest total of over {$1300.00} a month in interest When I questioned this, TD Bank confirmed in writing : 1. Payments once your loan converts are made on the whole loan amount. 
2. Undisbursed funds have been moved to a noninterest-bearing account.

3. The process for accessing these undisbursed funds remains the same.

This appears contradictory : if the undisbursed funds are not accruing interest in TD Banks account and have not been disbursed to me, it is unclear how they can be included in my principal and interest payment calculations. 

Why I Believe This is Unfair Charging interest on funds I have not received and which TD Bank itself confirms are in a non-interest-bearing account is misleading at best and may violate fair lending or loan servicing standards. I have requested a recalculation based on disbursed funds only and a refund of overcharged interest, but TD Bank has refused, citing only my loan documents without identifying a clear clause authorizing this practice.

Requested Action I am requesting that Consumer Protection Division : Review the loan agreement and TD Banks written statements for possible violations of South Carolina lending laws. 
Determine whether TD Banks practice of charging interest on undisbursed construction loan funds is permissible. 
Assist in obtaining a recalculated loan schedule based only on the disbursed amount at the time of conversion and a refund of excess interest charges.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Description : I am filing this complaint against Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing for improperly imposing lender-placed hazard insurance on my mortgage account for the property at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX. 

I have had continuous valid hazard insurance coverage with XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) since XX/XX/XXXX. I provided proof of coverage to Shellpoint multiple times, yet they charged my escrow account for lender-placed insurance totaling over {$10000.00} between XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX {$9000.00} to XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$500.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX {$500.00} to XXXX XXXX These charges are nearly ten times higher than my actual premium and have depleted my escrow balance. Despite more than 10 hours spent in phone calls and written communications, Shellpoint has not refunded the charges, removed the policy, or provided a valid explanation. 

Furthermore, as of today, Shellpoint continues to force me to make these inflated payments and has threatened me with default if I do not comply. This ongoing conduct violates the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ( RESPA ), 12 U.S.C. 2605 ( k ), and constitutes an Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Act or Practice ( UDAAP ) under the Dodd-Frank Act. 

Requested Resolution : Immediate removal of the lender-placed insurance Full refund of all overcharges with interest and fees Restoration of my escrow account balance Cease all threats of default related to this issue Evidence available upon request : valid insurance policy, proof of continuous coverage, escrow disbursement records, and communication logs with Shellpoint.

Account Type : Business & Personal Payment Processing Complaint Category : Funds Hold/ Access to Money Summary of Complaint : I have been a PayPal customer for approximately 6 years, during which I have processed numerous transactions without incident. On XX/XX/year>, PayPal placed a hold on my account balance, stating it was due to a possible fraud or narcotics transaction. This allegation is baseless. I operate a legitimate business and have never engaged in illegal activities. 

I immediately provided all information PayPal requested, including my website, invoices, and transaction documentation. Approximately two weeks ago, a PayPal representative told me my funds would be released by XX/XX/year>. However, the funds remain on hold with no additional requests for information and no clear explanation for the continued restriction. 

This hold is severely impacting my ability to operate my business and pay my bills. I have complied fully with all PayPal requests, yet they continue to retain my funds without a justified reason. 

What I want resolved : Immediate release of my held funds. 

Written confirmation that my account is in good standing. 

An explanation as to why PayPal made allegations of fraud/narcotics with no evidence.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the debt being reported is a business line of credit, not a consumer credit account. The creditors own documentation identifies the borrower as XXXX XXXX, XXXX, a business entity, which is listed in a limited business capacity. This is not a personal consumer debt subject to consumer credit reporting. 

No personal liability for consumer reporting. This is a commercial account under a XXXX XXXXUse Line of Credit agreement, not a consumer loan. Reporting it to my consumer credit file is inaccurate and misleading under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and FTC guidelines, which require that only consumer debts be reported on consumer credit reports. 

No documentation tying the account to me personally The original creditor and the collection agency failed to provide any properly executed agreement showing my personal obligation for repayment as a consumer debt. The provided documents list a business borrower and business address, not me individually. 

Failure to validate, Despite my disputes, the collection agency and original creditor failed to produce adequate validation under FCRA 623 and the FTCs guidelines for debt collection. The documents provided do not establish that the alleged account is legally enforceable against me personally or that it was ever a consumer debt.

Duplicate and misleading reporting The same obligation appears to be reported under multiple furnishers with varying balances, past-due notations, and charge-off statuses, which is inaccurate and violates FCRA 605B and 607 ( b ).
