Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
What Happened : XXXX. Carrington Mortgage Services Reporting Error : In XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to modify my autopay settings to ensure timely payment, but Carringtons mobile app misrepresented the status of my payment as successful. This was incorrect due to insufficient funds, and I was not notified of the failed transaction until weeks later. 
Upon discovering the issue, I immediately made a manual payment on XX/XX/XXXX, covering the missed XXXX payment and bringing my account current. Despite this, Carrington reported my XXXX payment as 30+ days late to the credit bureaus. 
I provided evidence, including app screenshots showing the misleading payment confirmation, communication records, and proof of my immediate corrective actions. Carrington has repeatedly refused to acknowledge the apps technical failures or correct the reporting. 
XXXX Credit Bureaus Failure to Investigate : I submitted disputes to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX However, none of the bureaus conducted thorough investigations, as they simply deferred to Carringtons inadequate responses. 
Despite the detailed evidence provided, all three bureaus returned the same unsatisfactory results, with no changes to my credit report. 

Why This is an Issue : This late payment report is inaccurate and has negatively impacted my credit score and financial standing. 
The failure of Carrington to address the issue and the lack of proper investigation by the credit bureaus have compounded the harm caused by this error. 

My Actions : I have submitted disputes to Carrington and all three credit bureaus and provided substantial evidence, including screenshots and communication records, to support my claim. 
Carrington has dismissed my concerns, and the credit bureaus have failed to properly investigate the matter.

Complaint narrative:
Due to XXXX data breach Im experiencing a very hard time getting my credit score back up to XXXX. Ive been having a hard time getting funding and finding a place to live. This data breach created a huge financial crisis and it has caused me so much pain and suffering. The Act ( Title VI of the Consumer Credit Protection Act ) protects information collected by consumer reporting agencies such as credit bureaus, medical information companies and tenant screening services. Information in a consumer report can not be provided to anyone who does not have a purpose specified in the Act. Companies that provide information to consumer reporting agencies also have specific legal obligations, including the duty to investigate disputed information. In addition, users of the information for credit, insurance, or employment purposes must notify the consumer when an adverse action is taken on the basis of such reports. The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act added many provisions to this Act primarily relating to record accuracy and identity theft. The Dodd-Frank Act transferred to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau most of the rulemaking responsibilities added to this Act by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act and the Credit CARD Act, but the Commission retains all its enforcement authority.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I completed a loan modification with Mr. Cooper/nation star. This modification was from XXXX when my husband lost his job and that modification of partial claim was created for the amount of {$12000.00} which I was aware of and went to the back end of the loan. Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX and I am told by Mr. Cooper that the amount was an error and we owed around {$2700.00} more. That modification was amended for the amount of {$15000.00}. The issue Im having is they did not release or modify the lien for the {$12000.00} so now I have a lien of {$12000.00} And a lien for {$15000.00} showing on my title. I became aware of this after applying for a HELOC with a different company and they ran the title to the property. I have since made numerous emails and phone calls to Mr. Cooper rectify the situation. Mr. Cooper admits its an error but to date still has not since XXXX fixed the issue. They created a lien release form which has not been executed because now theres argument on whether or not they believe they should release the lien they should because the lien for the {$12000.00} was posted in XXXX the second lien was not posted to the title until XX/XX/XXXX. Mr. Cooper executed both liens while they have a different company ( PHH ) managing the partial claim. XXXX only has the partial claim for the {$15000.00} because Mr. Cooper made an error by not correctly adjusting the lien and refuses at this point to fix it. this is a VA loan and I have been working with the VA as well. I have tried several avenues on my own and Im getting nowhere and it was suggested I turn to you for your assistance. this is affecting me being able to close on my HELOC because they will not release the lien even though they admit the error. This was my original complaint that CFPB closed with no resolution. 

To date, I spoke with Mr. Cooper again yesterday. After explaining to them since XX/XX/XXXX they released the wrong lien on the property. There are two liens. One from XXXX and one from XXXX. The XXXX lien should not exist because it was replace by the one in XXXX, but the VA and Mr. Cooper failed to do their job and have that lien removed. This is why I am unable to finish getting My HELOC because of this lien. I have provided them with their own paperwork proving the lien from XXXX needs to be removed. I am attaching the subordinate note from Mr. Cooper and literally in the second paragraph it states as much. The {$15000.00} would replace the {$12000.00} amount. I do not understand how this is so hard for them to understand and comprehend.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported in to be removed. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
