XXXX handles all homeowners claims. Mr. Cooper has too many addresses per se and I didnt know which one to use. I havent dealt directly with them in years. The lawyer representing Mr. Cooper in my modification case is XXXX XXXX and here is his contact information : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. \nXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MA XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ( direct ) ( XXXX ) XXXX ( facsimile ) I will provide XXXX  XXXX info when I get to that part of the complaint. \n\nI want to clarify that I am not currently represented by an attorney but I would like to be. I was represented for the past five years by XXXX XXXX for the purposes of filing a bankruptcy and negotiating a settlement. Litigation at that point was off the table for financial reasons and because I didnt think XXXX XXXX was invested enough in the case to pull it off. I know it probably wouldve been less stressful ( or not? ) to extend XXXX XXXX representation but without getting into too many details, he made too many mistakes and other than filing the bankruptcy, he didnt do much else. Im still very grateful for his service and support though. \n\nThis is my pathetic story. My name is XXXX XXXX. In XXXX, I bought my first home located at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, MA ( XXXX ) and Ive lived there ever since ; this is my mailing address as well. WIthout any notice, the mortgage companies changed a few times through the years with the last one being NationStar dba Mr. Cooper and thats when my nightmare began. \n\nBack in XXXX, a modification was offered and approved. I successfully completed the trial period and for no reason and without an explanation, they then denied it. I refused to pay the new slightly higher mortgage payments until they honored the modification agreement. Trying to get anybody to speak to me to straighten out the modification issue was impossible. I gave up and when I tried to pay the mortgage payments I had missed, they refused to accept them. Shortly after, I got a foreclosure sale notice in the mail from Mr. Cooper. Mr. Coopers unjustified and unnecessary actions forced me to get legal representation and to file bankruptcy when I shouldnt have had to. Im a teacher and I live paycheck to paycheck and what I had to do to save my house ruined my credit and ruined me financially, which to this day I still havent recovered. The emotional pain and suffering that I have endured since is immeasurable. \n\nDue to the constant stress I was under, I couldnt focus, I was sick often and I was unjustly let go of my job of 17 years as a teacher in the XXXX. Even though the Unemployment Dept reversed my employers decision, the damage was done and it was about to get worse. The unemployment benefits were only a percentage of my salary and I couldnt keep up with Mr. Coopers payment demands. Against everyone 's advice, I withdrew my retirement benefits early to pay for what I owed. Not only did I lose every cent I had saved for my retirement but I lost about {$35000.00} during that transaction due to penalties related to the early withdrawal. I was honest with the Unemployment Division and when I told them that I had withdrawn my retirement benefits, the benefits ceased. I guess they considered my retirement benefits as income. I probably couldve contested their decision but I was too emotionally drained to fight it and in all honesty, they came through for me when I needed it the most so I just let it go. This was the lowest point of my life and Mr. Cooper continued to push but I managed to pay for every cent I owed up to that point and more afterwards ( I have copies of the checks ). \n\nMy payments altogether total about $ XXXX. To make matters worse, the $ XXXX went missing ; that money was never credited to my account which Ive come to find out seems to happen a lot with Mr. Cooper XXXX My lawyer even missed that and when I pushed him to question them, Mr. Coopers lawyer admitted to it. While Im very surprised that he admitted to their oversight, I dont buy it. To me, missing one payment may be considered an honest mistake. Missing crediting my account on six different occasions ( or more ) is no different than illegally withdrawing money from borrowers without their consent, one of the many charges Mr. Cooper has been found guilty of. I have no idea where that money is but thats one of the stipulations that need to be clarified in the settlement.\n\nI believe during or shortly after Mr. Coopers big indictment in XXXX, XXXX XXXX approached my lawyer to negotiate a settlement. A whole year went by and nothing happened. XXXX XXXX didnt contact my lawyer and my lawyer didnt follow up to him either until I insisted. My lawyer finally sent XXXX XXXX a short letter on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX XXXX responded shortly after, on XX/XX/XXXX, saying that he would get back to him soon. And that was almost a month ago? He has already taken another month to reply and before that he took over a year! What can I possibly do at this point? I dont know if taking months, a year to respond is standard procedure in this type of case and/or amongst lawyers but as my level of anxiety keeps rising, I dont know how much longer I can wait. I dont trust Mr. Cooper - Im scared that they will take back what they said they would include in their settlement, and attempt to force me out of my house again. Their MO is so predictable! and they continue acting this way because they know they can get away with it when their accuser '' is somebody like me, a divorced teacher with no legal representation, and no direction.\n\nAnd thats where Im at with this part of the case. I may be wrong but I dont think their lawyer is going to get back to me any time soon, especially knowing now that Im no longer represented. XXXX XXXX from the DOB suggested I file a complaint through you and I truly hope you can assist me.\n\nLike I said, for years, we have tried to reach an agreement with Mr. Cooper so things can go back to normal but nothing has gotten done, for one reason or another. In order for me to agree to a settlement, Mr. Coopers lawyer would have to 1 ) agree to honor the modification they had agreed on almost five years ago and later withdrew 2 ) pay my former lawyer XXXX XXXX legal fees ( they kind of agreed to that but they don't know the amount ) and XXXX ) offer monetary compensation for my emotional distress. 4 ) He would also have to put in writing that they have waived the mortgage payments in arrears ( he also agreed to that as well but I obviously want him to agree to an amount and put it in writing along with the other conditions ) and 5 ) deposit my $ 33k ( approxly ) into an escrow account or apply it towards my mortgage balance ( as they were supposed to but never did ). \n\nUnfortunately, there is more to complain about. Back on XX/XX/XXXX, my kitchen caught on fire. The kitchen was destroyed and the smoke and soot went all over the house. Ive been living in a hotel since then and its been the opposite of Heaven. Here we are, 9 months later and my house is still not fixed because XXXX, a subsidiary of Mr. Cooper has simply decided to keep the money. Not only they havent released any of the funds but they havent given me an explanation as to why they are doing that either- is that even legal? \n\nThe check from the insurance company I received in XXXX to repair my home was made payable to me and Mr. Cooper. Based on their track history of losing money, I didnt want them to have the check. I tried asking them to endorse it so I could keep it but they refused. I tried to figure out other options with XXXX and that didnt work either. When I asked XXXX XXXX for information about where to send the check, he told me to just send it to him and that he would figure out where to send it. I refused and demanded to have in writing the name and contact info of whoever would be handling my case and a description of their claim procedures. I never got any detailed information from XXXX XXXX about their procedures ; all he gave me was the name XXXX and the address and that took months! Assurants addresses are : Regular Mail Overnight Mail Mr. Cooper Mr. Cooper Attn : Loss Drafts Attn : Loss Drafts XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, OH XXXX XXXX, OH XXXX Ph # XXXX While waiting for some kind of response from XXXX XXXX, the original check from XXXX expired and I had to contact the insurance company to get another check issued. XXXX was not aware that the home repairs had not yet begun and needless to say, they were appalled. Thats when I was notified by XXXX that my ALE benefits that are currently paying for my hotel stay while my house was supposed to be getting repaired will be terminated at the end of XXXX. Since five months had already passed at this point and with the fear of becoming homeless soon, I felt I had no choice but to send the check to XXXX and hope for the best. \n\nOn XX/XX/XXXX, I reluctantly forwarded a check in the amount of {$26000.00} to XXXX. As I mentioned earlier, this check was issued by XXXX with the sole purpose of repairing the damages done to my property by the kitchen fire. Along with the aforementioned check, I included the insurance repair estimates, the contractor 's report and a Declaration of Intent to Repair form. As its their usual tactic to delay things, they asked me yet for another Intent to Repair form through their website. I immediately filled it out and submitted it and I still havent heard from them once ; not a letter, not a phone call - nothing. Ive also been checking their useless website for updates and there is nothing there either. Not only it doesnt have an updated status but the information is contradicting and deceitful. In one section, it says Were going to take you to Step 3 : Receive Partial Claim Funds. Then the next screen says : Claim Funds Sent to you but when I scroll down, in smaller print, it says funds not yet sent. Again, no explanations. ( I have pictures of the screens ). \n\nI decided to call their Customer Service Dept and that was another nightmare in itself. One of the many reps I spoke to informed me that none of the Customer Service reps could discuss the case with me because my case is coded LITIGATION. Nobody can discuss the case with you, she said. My own case! She then proceeded to give me a list of generic emails to file complaints about Mr. Cooper to Mr. Cooper ( the links on the website to file a complaint, www.mrcooper.com/legal/complaints, don't even work! I also have the pictures of the error messages. ) When I demanded the name of someone with authority that I could speak to about my case, she simply replied that she had no names to give me. This is all so unfair, so wrong. I have never encountered a situation like this where a company wont inform me of whats going on with my own claim and then tells me that theres nobody I could speak to about the situation! \n\nI tried to explain to the CS rep that there is no litigation '' going on, that Ive been involved in a serious situation with Mr. Coopers Mortgage Division for the past 4+ years about a shady modification offer and an unjustified attempt to foreclose on my home but that we are not battling it in court nor am I being represented by a lawyer. I explained further that negotiations for a settlement with Mr. Coopers legal counsel XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX on the mortgage case have begun and that I hoped to reach a final resolution soon, one way or another. My explanations didnt matter ; she just kept saying file a complaint with Mr. Cooper . I cant waste my time with Mr. Cooper aymore so here I am, I decided to file my complaints where they matter and where I may have a chance to get some kind of resolution. \n\nAs I mentioned above, my insurance company will no longer pay for my hotel stay after XXXX which means Mr. Cooper is pushing me into homelessness once again. To avoid this from happening, my house would have to be deemed safe and livable for me to move back in and the only way to accomplish that is if the contractor starts working on my house now and finish all major repairs within a very unrealistic short amount of time and with non-existent building materials or appliances as I havent been able to order any of them. And thats if he is available to work. He has been waiting to start this project since I got the first check back in XXXX. Being aware of the situation and Mr. Cooper 's reputation, my contractor will not do any work until I can confirm that the entire {$26000.00} is available to him and that there will be no more issues if and when additional funds are needed. And the same goes for any contractor in the area. \n\nWithout that money, my house wont get repaired - plain and simple. And their unjustified and intentional delays have not only affected everybody involved but the condition of my home continues to deteriorate as its still covered with smoke residue and soot. At this point, when so much time has passed and nothing has gotten done, a partial disbursement or half of the funds now and the second half later is not acceptable. The entire amount is needed now to complete all the major repairs at once and as fast as possible. ( 6 ) They also need to have the LITIGATION code removed from my claim case immediately. ( 7 ) This is something Im sure Mr. Coopers lawyer could request but Im even more sure that it wont happen unless somebody with more knowledge and power intervenes on my behalf. \n\nBecause of the pending settlement negotiations, I have taken a closer look at my case and I was really embarrassed because Mr. Coopers deceptions were very obvious from the beginning and a more aggressive approach shouldve been taken. I started doing my research and thats when I realized that what Ive experienced with Mr. Cooper, thousands of consumers have gone through it as well : the shady modification offers, unjustified foreclosures, repetitive requests for the same information, lost documents/payments, among other unfair and deceptive practices. To their long list, I can add failure to communicate ( a year+ on one case and 60 days on the other ) and misappropriation of funds, for wrongfully keeping the insurance funds that I need to repair my home. I hope you can help me put an end to this nightmare once and for all! I would be eternally grateful!","date_sent_to_company":"2022-01-28T08:23:27.000Z","issue":"Struggling to pay mortgage","sub_product":"Conventional home mortgage","zip_code":"016XX","tags":null,"has_narrative":true,"complaint_id":"5158148","timely":"Yes","company_response":"Closed with explanation","submitted_via":"Web","company":"Mr. Cooper Group Inc.","date_received":"2022-01-28T03:07:48.000Z","state":"MA","company_public_response":null,"sub_issue":null},"highlight":{"complaint_what_happened":["This was the lowest <em>point</em> of my life and Mr. Cooper continued to push but I managed to pay for every cent I owed up to that <em>point</em> and more afterwards ( I have copies of the checks ). \n\nMy payments altogether total <em>about</em> $ XXXX.

XXXX the insurer, not only continued to send all funds to the lending institution, Wells Fargo, after I asked them not to because Wells continued to hold all funds meant to repair the home in an escrow. This Wells Fargo did for over two years causing me and my family to fall into financial hardship while paying additional expenses on a displaced family rental apartment, utility, and expenses on the empty molded home to include HOA fees, taxes, utility maintenance etc. When trying to get the home repaired Wells Fargo continued to make me jump hoops ( paper work ) with the promise of releasing the funds to contractors for repair, then reneging on the promise ( XX/XX/XXXX Wells had me sign an indemnification to protect themselves from my assisting XXXX with a law suit against them. This Wells did promising to pay another contractor to fix the home. Once the indemnification was signed Wells refused payment to the hired contractor. ) Step 2 : What type of problem are you having?\n\n1. Financial hardship, Wells Fargo offered to modify the loan but during the process negated on the modification and started the foreclosure process XX/XX/XXXX. Wells Fargo bank retaliated against me when I tried to work out payment for the contractor XXXX by hiring a lawyer Mr. XXXX to negotiate payment for XXXX to go away and end a law suit against me. XX/XX/XXXX I sent Wells Fargo a permission letter for conversation with my lawyer. XX/XX/XXXX Wells Fargo stopped all modification paper work and issued to me foreclosure documents 2. Law suit for {$110000.00} from XXXX. My lawyer formatted a document asking XXXX to settle for the amount of funds held in escrow {$86000.00}. XXXX. To settle the suit and go away ( my intention was to sell immediately and get from under the financial bleeding of paying expenses on two homes. ) Wells Fargo refused to release the money and ask me to let them do another in section to make sure the home was 100 % complete finished.\n\n3. I used my own money to complete the repairs ( corrections were not done only completion of carpet, mold clean up etc. Initially I sent Wells Fargo the required docs that they required a hired contractor to fill out for payment. Wells still refused to pay the contractor. I ended up paying out of pocket. I later sent Wells ' the receipt for reimbursement, Wells still refused to pay me. \n\nNote : During the inspection Wells Fargo inspectors noted the terrible work that was done by XXXX directly to me ( the wood flooring was warped throughout the first level, living room, dining room, kitchen family room and flower room. Dry walling in the basement was terribly done and water was still underneath the paint. The garage wall was nailed together in some places with no tape or mud and gouges and broken pieces were misplaced together. The paint in the master bedroom and bathroom had been diluted to the point that it looked white instead of the requested color. I took pictures and so did Wells Fargo inspectors ). The inspectors asked if permits had been pulled. I did not know. Wells inspectors stated they were not going to sign to issue any funds and asked that I go to XXXX in MD and check to see if the needed permits had been pulled I did and no permits had been pulled. \n\nWells Fargo later informed me that they were putting the funds into an Escrow account. After the inspection, I choose not to move forward with XXXX as a contractor and based on Wells Fargo advice I was told in order to move forward with another contractor I had to terminate my contract with XXXX, which I did. I also asked XXXX to give me a cost estimate on the work that had been done. From that cost I would subtract the cost of any work that had to be re-done over and pay them what was owed. XXXX stated they wanted the full amount of the check {$86000.00} that was issued from XXXX although they had not completed the work. XXXX was only 50 % complete with the work when they asked for the inspection and submitted to me a receipt for {$45000.00} to submit to Wells Fargo for payment ( see attachment ). Carpet had not been put down throughout the basement area or on the second level hall way, two levels of stairs ( one leading from the basement and one stair case to the second level of the home, the master bedroom, the master bedroom closet or hall. Mold had built up in the home on the exposed subflooring, basement, master bedroom and library. \n\n2. XXXX the insurer, not only continued to send all funds to lending institution, Wells Fargo, knowing that Wells was not releasing the funds to the insurer for repairs, stopped payment on the displaced family rental apartment, utility, etc expenses in an attempt to force payment to their preferred contractor XXXX. \n\n3. XXXX the contractor did a bad job on the home ( noted by the Wells Fargo inspector XX/XX/XXXX during an n inspection. Walked off the job ( requested full payment on a job half done then lied at court stating they completed  the job 100 % and got a mechanic lien on the home. \na. XXXX preferred contractor XXXX walked off the job when the home was only 50 % complete due to XXXX failure to make the initial 1/3 payment in a timely manner. When funds were finally made available from XXXX in the amount of {$86000.00} ( XXXX issued full payment in advance ) a check with my name the Wells Fargo and XXXX name was on it. XX/XX/XXXX XXXX and I signed the check and submitted to Wells Fargo Bank for endorsement. XXXX was to receive a 50 % payment for the fifty percent complete of work that was done ( see attachment of XXXX request ). Wells Fargo required an inspection at 50 % before any funds would be release. \nb.XXXX XXXX XXXX put a mechanic lien on my home without contacting me or my knowledge, an appeal is currently place due to XXXX false statement of service and stating that they completed the job 100 % ) the mechanic lien on my property if for more than one hundred thousand dollars. \n\n\n4. XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to cure or treat the home for mold when hired to mitigate the water damaged home. XX/XX/XXXX during an inspection with XXXX XXXX XXXX and later refuse to clean up the mold that accumulated in the home when it was brought to the companys attention by the owner XX/XX/XXXX during an inspection with XXXX adjuster. XXXX XXXX stored all the house hold items of the insured for over two years  making contact only with XXXX for payment. XXXX XXXX got its payment directly from XXXX and failed to contact the insurer when XXXX stop paying on the storage and ignored any contact from the insured on the mold that needed to be cleaned from the home so that the family could move back into their home. The insured was forced to pay out of pocket to clean up the mold ( Wells Fargo refuse to release any money for mold clean up also ) When the insured contacted XXXX XXXX for their items they were told that a bill of {$1700.00}, XXXX had to be paid, refusing to release the homeowners items a.XXXX XXXX had failed to properly treat for mold and also left wet items in the basement ( furniture, cloths, XXXX  items etc ).\n\nStep 3 : What happened?\n\nWells Fargo intentionally held the money meant for repairs of my home in escrow for over two years with the intent of having the home fall into foreclosure and me and my family be financially destitute while trying to hold on to the home pay, pay for repairs and for my family displaced rental and its expenses. \n\nStep 4 : What company is this complaint about? \na. Wells Fargo ( property loss department ) email : XXXX Phone : XXXX-XXXX-XXXX, contact XXXX : ext. : XXXX b. XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MD XXXX c.

On information and belief, the furnished information indicated the account was past due and charged off with a balanced owed around $ 8-9k. Initially, since I am a customer of XXXX XXXX, with XXXX accounts, all of which are active and in good standing, I thought that maybe the information was submitted incorrectly, or to the wrong file, so I initiated a dispute. A few days later Experian came back and stated the information was accurate. \n\nNext I contacted XXXX XXXX and confirmed my XXXX accounts with them were and are still active and in good standing. They were also unable to find where the negative information was coming from thus they could not provide me any further details. Having spent the last XXXX  years recovering from what seems like the never ending battle that comes with being the victim of identity theft, I knew the furnished information must have been the result of identity theft. Since I am a paid member of Experians, which comes with identity theft protection and a fraud resolution specialist whos with you every step of the way, my next call was to them. The agent I spoke with opened a case for me and a few days later XXXX a Fraud Resolution Specialist got in contact with me to discuss the situation. Having gone through this before, when she called I was prepared with my FTC Identity Theft Report and proper forms of Identification, which I uploaded to Experian.com through a link provided my XXXX. At the end of my call with XXXX, I was left believing that Experian would fully comply with the Law and block the information within the short time they have to do so. Boy was I wrong. Instead, 2 days later I received and email telling me the dispute I requested was now open, however I DID NOT ASK FOR THE INFORMATION TO BE DISPUTED AGAIN, NOR DID I GIVE MY PERMISSION TO ANY ONE AT EXPERIAN TO ACCESS AND SHARE MY CREDIT REPORT TO DO SO. Less then twelve hours later I received another email telling me my dispute was completed and the information was verified as valid by the furnisher ( Of course the furnisher believes its valid. Someone pretended to be me and open an account with them, so in their eyes the information is valid, when it is not. By initiating this dispute without consent, Experian caused my credit score to drop XXXX points. \n\nOver the court of the next 10 days, I left no less than XXXX voicemails for XXXX, at her extension, as well as in her teams general mailbox. To date ZERO of my messages have been returned. I then spent XXXX pain staking days arguing, sitting on hold, being hung up on, and transfered to so many different departments at Experian, yet not a single one wanted to take ownership of the problem and help guide me to a resolution. My last call during that 2 day period, I landed at the desk of XXXX in disputes. First XXXX tells me he could not find the FTC ID Theft Report and Identification I submitted but then proceeds to tell me it doesnt matter, because in his opinion the information was valid and that he would not do anything else to assist me. When I asked for a supervisor, he first refused, then said fine and put me on hold for XXXX minutes, at which time he came back on the line and ended our call. XXXX minutes after he hung up on me I reviewed an email from Experian that reads : In response to the request we received to remove certain items from your credit report, we have examined the identity theft report you provided to us and have confirmed that it is a fraudulent document. \n\nPursuant to Section 605B ( c ) ( 1 ) ( B ) and Section 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( A ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, we have not blocked any items from your credit report or initiated disputes of any items on your behalf due to the fraudulent nature of the documentation we received. \n\nDeliberately providing fraudulent identity theft reports to Experian is a serious matter. Experian security personnel actively work with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies on cases involving fraudulent identity theft reports that were submitted to Experian in an effort to alter or remove data for credit repair purposes. Please be aware that Experian reserves the right to report this incident to law enforcement, creditor security personnel or the appropriate government agency listed on the identity theft report, and to request criminal prosecution of the individual ( XXXX ) who submitted the fraudulent document. \n\nFirst, how can he claim he doesnt have the documents, then XXXX minutes later make such egregiously false accusations about said documents. My response is simple, go right ahead and contact the authorities, would you like me to dial the number for you? I maintain the same position today, simply because I know which of us is being truthful and which is not. \n\nThe following Monday, I spent another XXXX hours being transferred, put on hold, and hung up on, until I finally got a supervisor who actually helped me. Since XXXX was being unresponsive, they created a new case so it could be assigned to a different specialist, and a few days later a specialist named XXXX reached out to discuss my identity theft issuers. While on the phone with him he sent me another link to upload documents and I once again sent in my FTC ID Theft Report and appropriate IDs. The next day I received an email stating that they were unable to block the information because they did not received the exact documents I uploaded the day prior. THey then once again WITHOUT MY CONSENT disputed the information, which caused my credit score to drop another XXXX points ( so thats now a XXXX point reduction in my score due to Experian taking action on my credit file I did not ask for or give them consent to do ). I then began to reach out to XXXX, which I have now done more than XXXX times and just like XXXX XXXX has not responded to a single XXXX of my messages.","date_sent_to_company":"2024-01-04T15:05:54.000Z","issue":"Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services","sub_product":"Credit reporting","zip_code":"92101","tags":"Servicemember","has_narrative":true,"complaint_id":"8102972","timely":"Yes","company_response":"Closed with non-monetary relief","submitted_via":"Web","company":"Experian Information Solutions Inc.","date_received":"2024-01-04T14:49:22.000Z","state":"CA","company_public_response":"Company has responded to the consumer and the CFPB and chooses not to provide a public response","sub_issue":"Problem with product or service terms changing"},"highlight":{"complaint_what_happened":["Experian security personnel actively work with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies on cases involving fraudulent identity theft reports that were submitted to Experian in an effort to alter or remove data for <em>credit</em> <em>repair</em> purposes."],"product":["<em>Credit</em> reporting or other personal consumer reports"],"issue":["<em>Credit</em> monitoring or identity theft protection services"],"sub_product":["<em>Credit</em> reporting"]},"sort":[7.22224,"8102972"]},{"_index":"complaint-public-v1","_id":"2745489","_score":7.1890545,"_source":{"product":"Mortgage","complaint_what_happened":"For all of these transactions listed below, there are recorded conversations, as we ask each time we phoned to ensure these calls were being recorded for 'quality and training purposes '.

On XX/XX/XXXX, we finally received our check from the Insurance, so we sent the check and all the above information to the address above with 'overnight ' shipping ( ~ {$25.00} ) so that it would arrive at XXXX on Monday XX/XX/XXXX in time to avoid being in the aforementioned 'train wreck '. So, Monday and Tuesday, we waited and we did n't receive any correspondence ( phone or e-mail ) from XXXX regarding this important transaction. So, Tuesday afternoon, we phoned XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to ask about this payoff. We were routed to a new person on the phone, and after we explained everything, they told us that they received the check, but were just holding it, because our account was set to transfer to Mr Cooper the next day. Of course, we were very upset about this, and we asked to escalate to a supervisor. We discussed with supervisor XXXX, who assured us that she was so sorry that this was happening ( in her very well trained de-escalation protocol ) and that she would investigate to see what could be done, and would phone us back. XXXX did not return our phone call. XX/XX/XXXX, we phoned XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX again and left a message ( s? ) for XXXX asking what she had found and, again, we received no return phone call. We were advised that it would be 6-7 days before Mr Cooper Mortgage company would establish our account and recognize us as a client as we discussed with someone from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX requesting payoff of our loan and requesting refund of the balance. At this time, we are informed that they dont know what happened to the check. So, of course, we are enraged. \nOn XX/XX/XXXX, we phone Mr Cooper to discuss pay off of our loan and refund of the balance. The XXXX XXXX person initially tells us that there are no notes in our new account regarding the previous mortgage company, and they dont know what happened to the check. What happened to that fully endorsed check that should have been used to pay off our loan and the balance refunded? After more investigation, we were told the notes indicate that XXXX XXXX had mailed the check to XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX Ohio -- We were shocked, since that is the same address ( see above ) that we had sent the check to XXXX XXXX initially. Again, we asked to be escalated to a supervisor. At some point during this week, Mr Cooper 's office found the {$100000.00} fully endorsed check laying around. When we asked about being awarded interest on this check, we were told that we would not receive any interest for this {$100000.00} check that is in now on their account ledger, awaiting processing. They stated that we would have to fill out a form ( on-line ) requesting a new pay off and signing another affidavit stating our intention to pay off the loan with the insurance check. So, we did both of these. And we waited for a phone call or feedback for next steps and timing -- nothing from Mr Cooper that there was any processing of any kind going on. So, early the next week, we phoned again and again, though we have lost track of the many phone calls to Mr Cooper 's offices in search of our refund. We asked to be transferred to a supervisor immediately each time we phoned the Mr Cooper Customer Help Desk. We were told that it takes 30 days to process this transaction for their office. We asked for an escalation process, as our house was flooded, completely gutted, we had lost almost everything in the flood, and had contractors working to rebuild, since we were fortunate enough to have insurance. Supervisor XXXX XXXX was where our next noteworthy phone call was routed ( ~XX/XX/XXXX ). She was responsive and found that all the documentation was received and in the file for the pay-off to take place, and the refund to be completed. So, she came in on her day off ( Saturday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and completed the documentation and noting in the account to get the loan paid off ( ~ {$70000.00} ) and initiate the refund. She phoned us to tell us the great news, and so we asked if she could direct deposit the refund. She said she would try, so we e-mailed her a voided check with our banking numbers and account numbers, and she said she would check in to it when she was back in the office and when her supervisor was in the office ( Monday or Tuesday XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX ). So, we waited and waited, and again, we received no phone call or email message from Mr Cooper 's offices. So, again, we phone XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, asked to speak to a supervisor, and were routed to XXXX XXXX. Again, he is well trained in the de-escalation process and promises to look into why we are not getting our refund, who is receiving the interest dollars on our money, and promises to call us back. We received the following information in an e-mail from XXXX XXXX : \" I have sent over an email to our lien release department and was informed the release is currently being processed based on our 10 day period after the payoff date of XX/XX/XXXX. The release will then be sent to the county for recording within the date of XX/XX/XXXX. \nOnce your refund is reflecting in our system we can move forward in processing your refund by next week. I also did communicate with XXXX and she advised she submitted a Mortgage Affidavit to post as a payoff for you, which I did communicate with you on our conversation. She is still in the process of getting the additional funds out to you. '' Today, is XX/XX/XXXX, and we have not received any refund from Mr Cooper. We did, however, receive in the mail several letters from Mr Cooper welcoming us into their company, and one actually had a summary of the amount of interest that we owe them for our newly transferred loan. We are extremely annoyed and feel harassed with this information. Additionally, we continue to get these roto-dial phone calls from Mr Cooper asking how we are surviving after the hurricane, and to stay on the line to discuss our account with Mr Cooper.  So, as we stay on the line, we get some Customer Help Desk person who knows nothing about our account, our refund and does n't help at all. More harassment!! The remedy we want is to receive the money that is ours -- We can not understand how this mortgage company has the right to hold our refund for this long, without providing any interest to us or any reimbursement for pain and suffering. Our bills are going past due, interest is accruing on the credit cards that we had to open to pay for the work on our home, and we had flood insurance!! -- We have a refund due to us. It is our money!! We want to make sure that the processes are changed at both XXXX XXXX and Mr Cooper so that no one has to experience this insanity and frustration that we have been through.

Two of them were from out of state. And the other was to a local hospital for over {$10000.00} that I had never been to. And have full coverage insurance and it would have been paid. And the other 2 on my report I disputed, got evidence and submitted it and eventually won after 6 months of wrangling to have them removed off of my credit report with less than minimal help by Experian. And they were \" Helping Me '' it seemed like they were more in cahoots with the Debt Collection Agencies than trying to help me. But I took there advice as it stated to get credit cards,,, where it's like I pay XXXX for XXXX worth of credit. And build up credit from there. But I brought it up to their attention that my credit score didnt go up not 1 point when i had the 3 Debts Removed, infact went down 10-12 points and they said it would adjust the following month but never did and feels like it never will. And suddenly there was another debt out of state, I had no way to contact the debt collection agency, I forwarded that info to the police, and the officer said there was something shady about that. And he contacted Experian because they insisted on a copy of the Police Report. I obliged and that was removed. They treated me terribly. And even would call to see if I would make a payment to The Debt Collection Agency to get my score up. When it's not my debt to pay. \nI tried my best to get my score up and it seemed successful when I went to XXXX XXXX instead of dealing Experian directly. \nAnd this entire time. Which is very frustrating, I'm battling XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and the Officer had bigger fish to fry than my credit report. XXXX XXXX ( Minnesota XXXX ) and so much more and our correspondence was minimal and finally closed the case when the debts were removed and as quick as that another one from out of state came on there. How is all this possible? And Am I set up to fail? Is this how it works. I almost died this year. My income was {$200.00} per month from XXXX up until XXXX of XXXX. For over 4 years my income was {$200.00}. That was it. People spend that at the gas station. Is what I'm told. \nNo one, no one at the credit agencies would believe that was it. XXXX and everyone in my building and doctors, home nurses and social workers know that was all I was receiving in benefits and before I got so Ill. I did try to earn more as they describe on XXXX Hoarder especially when the Pandemic hit. I felt as an American it was my responsibility in some way, to keep our Economy Floating. So I bought and sold ( tshirts, bags, Sneakers ) and it was ok. Until it wasn't. I became XXXX Physically then severe emotionally and You can't move, no incentive can help with that. I know my bill payments are over due from XX/XX/XXXX, my Telephone and Internet get cut off, my car, ( the only thing I have ) Someone stole the entire Catalytic Converter and Muffler System out. \nMy funds were directed towards my needs. My XXXX XXXX Hearing Went in my Favor in XX/XX/XXXX. I had XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. \nAm officer came to my door. \nMy car had bad tags on it and no insurance and I was fined over 500 on each ticket and had to appear Infront of the Judge on XX/XX/XXXX. \nVia XXXX Dear Sir, Ma'am, Everything I'm telling you is The Honest to XXXX 's Truth and can send you anything you need to verify any of it. Every bit of it. \nI can't not express to you enough how painful recovery from this XXXX was and still is. \nEspecially when I decided not take pain meds, because I have been clean from XXXX since XXXX. And I also decided to quit taking the XXXX they had me on and all the antidepressants all while immediately recovering from XXXX. \nI had nurses coming up to check my vitals XXXX times a week. And it was XXXX. \nI don't think anyone can understand if they themselves or someone they truly love fights the pain of addiction. \nThis was a battle.Full on. ( I suffered and endured the worst 54 days of detox in my life ) in the meantime. My bills were unpaid, no phone, no internet, and I had to take care of my legal issues. I Iive alone, my neighbors are older and also handicapped. \nI had to register the car, transfer title, tag it, and Obtain Full Coverage Insurance, and pay the fines ordered by the Prosecutor all in timely manner which I have recently completed. My XXXX XXXX is {$790.00} which is great compared to {$200.00} but it took 3 entire months of {$790.00} 's just to take care of the legal issues. Now my rent is past due. I got a little help with that. Also my utilities. But everything has gone up tremendously and not to mention I could not drive my car until everything was paid. And I'm doing all this court, DMV stuff on crutches and spent {$430.00} on XXXX. If I don't have it, why am I punished so badly.. These 2 credit card companies WOULD NOT accept a payment for {$20.00} neither one would. I'm yet to get any XXXX back pay. My Checking Account has been cancelled because of overdraft fees. I was so worked up about everything, just everything. Because it seems like no matter how hard I try. \nNO Matter How Focused and Committed My Credit Score will not Go up. \nI changed my mind about that because within myself I reminded myself that because I worked hard and I kept my focus I am 4 years clean and sober through out all this hardship and despair. I need to seek out the help I needed for recovery in the same way I need it to improve my livelyhood. \nGood Credit is a necessity, for everything. But this fight has a life of its own. The Creditors will not work with me. \nTHEY Want lump sums that I do not have currently. They wouldn't accept a payment from me unless it was {$85.00} or 1/2 of the entire amount that just grown by 95 % a month my bill was under {$100.00} before I became deathy ill... It was XXXX XXXX XXXX And the Fees and they Keep piling up. XXXX XXXX XXXX said that I didn't have to worry about my delinquent bills and they wouldn't effect my credit score because they weren't allowed to during the Pandemic. Well that definitely was not true, because they stuck it to me like never before. And she was just trying to keep my XXXX XXXX down. \nPlease please please please help me with this. My score is now under 500... I have to be above 600 to live in these structures and anywhere really. \nI only have about {$1000.00} in debt entirely, but they are committed to making sure my credit never increases. \nDo you notice for a poor person like myself, everything is twice as high. \nHow does that make sense. How? \nPlease Dear Sir, Maam. \nI need assistance. But not the kind they offer on these sites. I don't have that kind of money to pay someone to steal from me like they have been. \nI've been educating myself, on credit, and how it works, I'm XXXX and I have never been informed, told, or even taught about my credit, except from what I thought was accurate information from Experian, I thought I was Adulting and becoming responsible.

I can only handle one situation at a time. Just like my sobriety. One day at a time. \nBut again. I am definitely way over my head. \nIs there anything you can do to help me. \nMy financial situation isn't going to change anytime soon. So please take into consideration. That the {$790.00} I receive now monthly has put me in a different bracket with how much my rent has gone up and I'm also paying Full Coverage Insurance and Premiums to survive. \nThere is no simple solution. Because if there were, I would have paid it. \nBut if I don't have it. How???. \nIm not close with family and have no friends. I have no one and can only rely on myself.

I'm still recovering and in physical therapy XXXX x a week and mental therapy weekly. \nBut they tell me things aren't true when it comes to life. They try to calm me. And help my well-being.

I dont believe this dealership represents the values of XXXX and as a repeat customer of new XXXX  trucks I wanted to make you aware of my experience. \n\nIn XXXX we were the victims of a hit and run and our XXXX XXXX XXXX was totaled. In XXXX we then became the victims of Dennis Dillon XXXX \n\nOur salesman, XXXX was great, right up until we discovered the details of the Dennis Dillon sales scheme, then he threatened us. Once I found out what they were doing, after the sale, he yelled at me over the phone and told me I would never be able to buy from Dennis Dillon again or other dealerships in Idaho.\n\nWhen I emailed the company to ask about their price for a new XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX***** responded, in part, Our goal is to make this transaction as smooth and easy as possible, as well as provide you the best price in the nation on new and pre-owned vehicles. Great, what was the price? XXXXXXXX  stated Dennis Dillon could get us a new truck for {$2000.00} below invoice and came back with a price of {$38000.00}. I asked him to put the full details of how he arrived at that number in writing and he said he couldnt because 1 ) the incentives change but 2 ) he would be fired by Dennis Dillon XXXX  if he did. That raised a red flag but I understood the incentives change so I assumed it must have something to do with the incentives offered and didnt have time to dig into the details as I was dealing with medical and legal issues related to the hit and run. \n\nLater, after I put down a {$3000.00} deposit, XXXX  revealed that the catch was that 1 ) We could not put down more than 20 %, 2 ) We could not refinance before we had made 6 payments, 3 ) he would get me the best possible rate because Dennis Dillon worked with dozens of lenders ( I told him I expected 1.99 % as that is what we could get with our excellent credit history and he assured me it would be no problem ), 4 ) we would get invoice pricing of {$42000.00} plus a {$2000.00} discount from the dealership and all incentives, and 5 ) he should not be talking about the details because he could be fired. I asked why he would be fired if it was a legitimate transaction, why we could only put down 20 % when we had over 50 % to put down, and why we had to make 6 payments before refinancing? He assured me it was all legal, that the 20 % down and 6 payments was a stipulation of the banks they worked with, that their pricing scheme was an exclusive that they didnt want other dealers to know about, and not to worry as they would get us a great rate. \n\nI realized later that XXXXXXXX would only talk about the details above during phone calls and would not put anything regarding the specifics of the deal in writing. He did put in writing that the base price would be {$42000.00} and the other approximate {$4000.00} was based on their exclusive deal and XXXX corporate incentives. He would not write down the 20 % down requirement, the 6 payment requirement, or even the {$2000.00} incentive from the dealership. \n\nStill a bit nervous, but encouraged by his promises and the fact that Dennis Dillon has great reviews, I proceeded with the transaction. \n\nXXXX was pleasant and very helpful during the remainder of the transaction so we drove 6 hours to Idaho to get the truck when it came in. This is when the problems arose. \n\nFirst, it took us approximately 6 hours to finalize the transaction and get out of the dealership. Others have also complained about how long it took to get out of this dealership. On a XXXX review of Dennis Dillon, XXXX XXXX said, Buying took all freaking day. We bought our XXXX truck from a dealer in Utah in XXXX it took us 30 minutes. We are unsure if this is a tactic by Dennis Dillon to wear people down before signing papers and releasing the vehicle but it surely was unpleasant. \n\nSecond, XXXX  high pressured us on certain things, I assume because he is rewarded in some way, to fill out a survey before we left the dealership and to sign up for XXXX services ( as we were trying to return our rental vehicle ). \n\nThird, and most importantly, the financing was a complete deception in my opinion. Here is what I finally figured out by doing the math when I got home as they would not tell me : When we went to sign the paperwork, not knowing what the final price of the vehicle would be, the base price was {$42000.00} as we agreed. Dennis Dillon gave us {$2700.00} in incentives. They explained up front the {$2000.00} but would not explain where the {$750.00} came from when I asked about it specifically and also what XXXX incentives were available. [ They told us each transaction is recorded in XXXX  office so it should be on that recording. ] We purchased some additional options and put down some cash which brought the final price to finance to {$38000.00}. This is where the problem came in and how the deception works. XXXX, the finance person we worked with, was in lockstep with XXXX on these points and they were not transparent but rather were deceptive in how these items were presented to us : 1 ) XXXX and XXXXXXXX stated we could only put down 20 %, no more, but would never tell us why other than it was just part of the deal. My belief, based on what I was told, was that it was contractual and part of the bank financing. It is NOT. Nothing in their paperwork, which took me hours to review, states anything about not being able to put down more than 20 %. This deception by XXXX and backed by XXXX, allows Dennis Dillon to make more money on the financing because we were financing more. XXXX  did not reveal this to us. \n2 ) XXXXXXXX  and XXXX stated that we had to finance through them to get the exclusive Dennis Dillon deal but then we could refinance after 6 payments. XXXX  emphasizes we can ONLY payoff or refinance after 6 full payments. This was a complete lie. \n3 ) XXXXXXXX states the interest rate was 5.xx % and I about choked. I can not remember the exact amount so will use 5.99 % as my examples below. I state I am very disappointed as XXXXXXXX told us he would get us the best rate possible ( I told him I knew that I could get a 1.99 % for certain ). XXXX plays the manager  game and calls the finance manager to see if there is anything that can be done. ( I am later told by XXXX XXXXXXXX that XXXXXXXX is the finance Manager ). XXXXXXXX says they will make an exception and that they dont normally do this but can give us 4.49 %. We still can not get full answers to our questions so at this point I was so frustrated I simply wanted to get it over. We have a credit score over 800 most of the time ( Depends on who ranks us and when but it is in the high 700s to low 800s ) so I wasnt worried about refinancing nor 6 payments of interest if it is contractual. It wasnt so I refinanced as soon as I could get a payoff from the bank Dennis Dillon set us up with. We were able to get a 1.99 % rate. \n4 ) XXXX sold us a XXXX XXXX package but failed to tell us that part of the package would not be available in Utah . For instance, he said that dents were covered under the package but did not tell us that after a dent is repaired the XXXX  coat, which we also purchased, would have to be reapplied. There are no XXXX  dealers in Utah that service cars. Therefore, in order to get the coverage for this package we have to drive out of Utah, to another state, to get a single dent recovered with XXXX or the dent repair will be noticeable. We would like a full refund for the Protections we covered as we believe this was another clear deception. A XXXX reviewer, XXXXXXXX XXXX, stated they had issues with this company 3 years ago but provides no details. Due to the multiple deceptions by Dennis Dillon we no longer trust these Protections will help us and we wasted over $ XXXX purchasing them. \n\nMy wife and I had both been through a recent wreck, been going through physical therapy ( and I still am ), and my wife had been through a recent XXXX  XXXX, so we were both hurting from sitting for so long. So, we begin standing to relieve the pain. \n\nWe finally finalize the transaction so that we can simply get out of this dealership, get the undercarriage spray and some other protections applied, and finally leave. The next day, after driving 8 hours and getting home at XXXX, I begin reading the paperwork to figure out how they are working the finances. \n\nI discover that 1 ) there is no statement whatsoever that we are bound to requiring us to only put down 20 %. Dennis Dillon only told us that so they could make more interest money on {>= $1,000,000} rather then {$18000.00} as we could have put down {$20000.00} more. 2 ) The paperwork specifically states, You may prepay. You may prepay all or part of the unpaid part of the Amount Finance AT ANYTIME WITHOUT PENALTY [ Emphasis added ]. \n\nWith these two pieces of information, I finally discover what they are doing. Here is how it works : I find the {$750.00} XXXX incentive, that I didnt see before, on XXXX site. During the rush of things I missed that XXXX was offering 0 % APR for 72 months PLUS {$750.00} XXXX XXXX. The reason I believe XXXX  and XXXX would not point out the {$750.00} in XXXX  XXXX  is because it is linked to the 0 % APR ad on XXXX website , which I didnt see when I asked XXXXXXXX about the incentives available from XXXX. XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX the Dennis Dillon XXXX  General Manager later confirmed it was XXXX XXXX. \n\nI start doing the math, and asking more questions, and discovered Dennis Dillon gives an exclusive by offering invoice pricing and {$2000.00} off of invoice. Then, they signed us up for a high interest rate, not the 1.9 % rate we knew we could obtain because of our excellent credit, and told us we could not refinance until 6 payments were made. XXXXXXXX and XXXX were VERY clear and even written down we could not payoff or refinance until after our XX/XX/XXXX payment. This scheme would net Dennis Dillon XXXX {$1300.00} in interest payments ( according to my calculations ) and the bank over {$6000.00}. When I balked at that rate they dropped the rate slightly to 4.49 % which would still net them {$980.00} in interest. If we would have gotten the rate we qualified for they only would have made {$430.00}. The difference in the original rate they gave us and the rate we qualify for was {$870.00}. XXXX told us we could not bring our own financing to get their exclusive deal so we trusted him to make good on getting us the best interest rate possible. \n\nAlso, if we had been allowed to put down an additional {$20000.00} in cash the numbers would look like this : At 5.99 % the interest would be {$640.00}, at 4.49 % the interest would be {$470.00}, and at 1.99 % the interest would be {$200.00}. So, the total difference between the interest rate they originally gave us and the best interest rate we qualify for is {$1100.00} to Dennis Dillon XXXX. \n\nOnce I discovered how they made their money I texted XXXX and said, In reviewing the terms of the finance document it states under Finance Charges and Payments >> 1.d, You may prepay. You may prepay all or part of the unpaid part of the amount finance at any time without penalty. Can you please point me to the part where it states we can not refinance before 6 payments have been made? and the contract also nowhere states we are limited to putting down only 20 % as you told us.. \n\nXXXXXXXX then calls me, as he would not put any details in writing, and again stated he could be fired for talking about the details. He yelled at me for breaking their gentlemans agreement and said I would never be allowed to buy again from Dennis Dillon XXXX, or other Idaho dealerships, if I refinanced before making the 6 payments. \n\nI had no problem with their exclusive deal until they broke the deal on the interest rate and I discovered clear deceptions. I would have gladly paid the {$200.00} to get the {$2000.00}. But once they broke their promise on the interest rate, I discovered deceptions, and was threatened, I had a real problem with their conduct. \n\nThe deceptions, in my opinion, were : 1 ) That we were required to put down no more than 20 %, 2 ) that we could not refinance before 6 payments were made, 3 ) that they would get me the best interest rate possible, and 4 ) that I could never buy from Dennis Dillon XXXX or other Idaho dealerships again, and 5 ) that XXXX would be fired for revealing the exclusive deal. \n\nIn speaking with XXXX XXXX after speaking with XXXX he told me that Dennis Dillon XXXX tries to properly educate their employees to be completely transparent. He told me that I could refinance anytime I wanted without penalty and that XXXX would not be fired for revealing how the program works. He also said they had talked to their attorney about getting something in writing that people sign to fully disclose the program but havent been able to come up with the correct verbiage. XXXX, obviously, was speaking with me after I had discovered what Dennis Dillon had done so Im not sure his statements are truthful or not. \n\nHowever, in reviewing the Dennis Dillon Reviews on XXXX I can see that others complained about the 20 % down issue. XXXX XXXX complained of this same issue in XXXX and also stated they changed the deal on me. XXXX XXXX also mentioned in XXXX, youre limited to putting down no more than 20 %. This would not have been a problem if the dealership had clearly explained this in a transparent way. Rather, they used deception in order to keep us from refinancing, or putting down more, in order to get a larger payout of interest. \n\nWhile I have doubts ours was an isolated incident of deception, because XXXX  was in lockstep with XXXX, I would like to see an investigation into this dealership and their conduct. Other customers need to be asked if they were led to believe that they could not put down more than 20 % cash, refinance for 6 payments, or were promised competitive interest rates to lure them into this deal. We clearly were manipulated and deceived and XXXX XXXX also believes he was. \n\nFederal law. I will be filing complaints with the Idaho State Attorney General, the Department of Consumer Affairs, and with other State and Federal entities to ensure others do not have an experience like we had. We ask for an investigation into these deceptive practices so that others are not harmed as we were. \n\nTo be clear, I expect a dealership to make money but I expect them to be fully transparent and honest in their business. Dennis Dillon XXXX was neither fully transparent nor honest with us. We drove many hours to do business with them and in the end was threatened for trying to act in good faith. I work extremely hard for my money, as Im sure XXXX and XXXXXXXX and all of those at Dennis Dillon do , so I would expect them to treat all people with integrity just as they expect others to treat them.","date_sent_to_company":"2021-01-28T17:26:49.000Z","issue":"Getting a loan or lease","sub_product":"Loan","zip_code":"846XX","tags":null,"has_narrative":true,"complaint_id":"4100127","timely":"No","company_response":"Closed with explanation","submitted_via":"Web","company":"Dennis Dillon Auto Park and Truck Center, Inc.,","date_received":"2021-01-28T17:21:28.000Z","state":"UT","company_public_response":null,"sub_issue":"Changes in terms mid-deal or after closing"},"highlight":{"complaint_what_happened":["We still can not get full answers to our questions so at this <em>point</em> I was so frustrated I simply wanted to get it over.

These numbers dont even make sense because if you were 90 days then 120 days you dont automatically go to 180 days past due. I have disputed this information on six occasions because I could only dispute so many at a time and there are still 27 accounts that are incorrect, they are still showing missed payments they are still showing delinquent status they are still showing that the loan was charged off when it was actually paid in full And satisfied so it should be a closed account showing paid in full but thats not the case. It reflects this way on all three credit bureaus which by three separate expert opinions ( CPAs and credit specialists ) show it could be affecting my credit score by as much as 113 to 140 points! I am at a complete loss because when I called to talk to Nelnet ( yes NELNET ) that which I have done on at least 15 separate occasions not only do they continue to tell me it will be corrected it will be corrected it will be corrected but its never corrected, then when I question other accounts they tell me oh well those accounts were sold off, but they dont know who they were sold off to. I live in Nebraska and their office is located in XXXX, Ive even gone there in person and set appointments up and spoken with individuals that have assured me and guaranteed me everything would be corrected and this has now been three years long from when I started to current. \n\nSo now there is no way for me to track them down because I go as far as the information takes me and I have even called called 10 or 12 different major student loan providers that buy loans from the Department of Education and none of them show any record of me holding an account with their company or an account being bought out by their company in my name. I am in my mid-XXXX and I can only repair my credit so much because I cant qualify for a major purchase such as a home to really solidify my credit and establish more than just buying vehicles and selling them with all payments being made on time and all loans being paid back in full. This has affected my life for over 10 years now and it wasnt until the last six years that I really started to dig deep into all three of my major credit bureau reports to see these inconsistencies not just with my student loans but with numerous other accounts. Between my three credit bureaus my student loan accounts alone Account for 148 inconsistencies that negatively affect my credit, these inconsistencies prohibit me from being able to even purchase a home. So my wife and I have XXXX children and cant even purchase a home because her income is not enough By itself to qualify, and heres the kicker which some people may be shocked and some people may not be shocked. \n\nI am 100 % XXXX XXXX XXXX Veteran and a medically retired XXXX   XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) the United States XXXX. I was forced to XXXX XXXX, it was not a choice. For 10 years I was a what they considered XXXX XXXX before finally I XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on my left side. I have a XXXX XXXX injury that prevents me from being able to do you a lot of things independently such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX or taking care of my children all the time. I have a XXXX XXXX XXXX that has caused me to have to re-learn how to walk when combined with my invitation, I had to learn how to time I shoes again in my midXXXX, I did learn how to drive again but it was hard. It was extremely hard because I could not understand and comprehend traffic laws, they just would not process in my mind. I have to spend a portion of each and every single day either on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, or in a XXXX  which limits what I am and Im not able to do although I dont let it limit me as much as possible theres only so much that I can do. This is not a sob story, this is not to make anyone feel bad for me, this is just To show that on top of everything else thats going on in my life I have been dealing with now I have been dealing with these banks and loan agencies and whatever they are referred to, right there is a prime example because I cant think of the proper term and I have paused my statement for over 15 minutes now but its XXXX XXXX and I have not been to sleep in almost 72 hours because of the pain, because of my XXXX   XXXX, because of the nightmares, because of the XXXX, because of the XXXX, and all of these things are amplified by the stress that this has put on to myself and my family. \n\nA lot of people blame the department of Veterans Affairs for such a high XXXX rate among veterans but Ill be the first one to tell you maybe not the first one but I will be the first one to confirm if somebody else has said the same thing that situations like this that amplify all of these different things that we suffer from mentally probably contribute more to veterans committing XXXX than anything that has to do with the department of Veterans Affairs. The reason I say this is because it puts so much stress on to not just a veteran but his or her family and then that can lead to marital issues and divorce and the break up of a cohesive family, Now you tell me if you have somebody that has been through a similar situation as I have and I have undergone XXXX XXXX XXXX under XXXX  to date that for eight years I have been trying to rebuild my credit so I can rebuild my life and Ive already been through one marriage that ended in divorce, however I am now married to the woman that was meant for me, whom by the way had to quit her job and quit school to become my full-time XXXX  because I need help every single day just to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, to XXXX XXXX, to remember things, to get two appointments, to make sure that I take my medication, to make sure my medication is refilled, to make sure that I dont stress out to the point to where I have a XXXX which my XXXX condition developed as a result of my XXXX XXXX XXXX and my XXXX XXXX XXXX. \n\nSo I just want this information to be put out there, I want this information to be corrected, I want to be able to get my life on track and I want to be able to move past this. I want this stress out of my life, this needs to be known this needs to be in bank public because a lot of veterans dont talk about it because its embarrassing. Its embarrassing because we are supposed to be able to provide for our family as men, this is our way of thinking, this is the way that I was raised. Thats not to say that the woman or the wife in the relationship or marriage cant work or cant make more money and be the breadwinner, its just the mindset in the way of thinking that I am trying to explain. So there it is in black-and-white, that is a snapshot of my life on a daily basis and what I deal with because on top of all of that that I just explained I didnt mention that my oldest son is XXXX, he XXXX XXXX he XXXX XXXX he cant take care of himself he XXXX XXXX  him so if he XXXX XXXX himself so he relies on myself and Primarily my wife to be able to do that to be able to live basically, so my wife has my self and my son to take care of all while not being able to work or go to school or do what she wants to do. She tells me that this is what she wants to do and I know that it is but on the flipside of the coin its not what she chose to doIts almost what she fell into have to do because there was no alternative. \n\nThe bottom line is please just put this information out there Ill continue to work on my own or work with whoever to fix my life and get my life on track but dont let this happen to anybody else veteran or not dont let this happen to anyone else because its not fair, its not right, and it 100 % should not be happening!","date_sent_to_company":"2020-09-17T13:03:50.000Z","issue":"Incorrect information on your report","sub_product":"Credit reporting","zip_code":"68123","tags":"Servicemember","has_narrative":true,"complaint_id":"3840946","timely":"Yes","company_response":"Closed with explanation","submitted_via":"Web","company":"Nelnet, Inc.","date_received":"2020-09-10T09:24:47.000Z","state":"NE","company_public_response":null,"sub_issue":"Account status incorrect"},"highlight":{"complaint_what_happened":["I am in my mid-XXXX and I can only <em>repair</em> my <em>credit</em> so much because I cant qualify for a major purchase such as a home to really solidify my <em>credit</em> and establish more than just buying vehicles and selling them with all payments being made on time and all loans being paid back in full."],"product":["<em>Credit</em> reporting, <em>credit</em> <em>repair</em> services, or other personal consumer reports"],"sub_product":["<em>Credit</em> reporting"]},"sort":[5.4812593,"3840946"]},{"_index":"complaint-public-v1","_id":"6487409","_score":5.2973013,"_source":{"product":"Mortgage","complaint_what_happened":"FORBEARANCE FRAUD Carrington Mortgage Services ( Carrington ). appears to be engaged in a fraudulent scheme to push homeowners into foreclosure by extending 3 months forbearance and immediately demanding the 3 months payments all at once. Carrington has not acted in good faith, been transparent or fair to customers who were never late on a payment and are now experiencing trauma from a life changing natural disaster. We have been displaced from our uninhabitable home and are living in a rented camper in our driveway while working with certified contractors to re-build our only residence. The following timeline outlines events that have occurred leading to Carrington notifying us of their Intent to Foreclose on our mortgage : XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX was exposed to and contracted XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. He was sick and couldnt work XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX caught XXXX from her husband shortly thereafter XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX and XXXX were still recovering from XXXX when the natural disaster, Hurricane Ian, caused catastrophic damage to our only residence, necessitating additional emergency time out of work until XX/XX/XXXX. We have applied but received no compensation for this lost work. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX - In good faith and transparency, we have both communicated with Carrington by phone and email requesting help because we were not able afford to pay our mortgage payment since we both became sick with XXXX. Carrington immediately refused to give us 180 day forbearance upon request. They said the maximum forbearance they could give was 3 months and that we could apply for an extension only after the 3 month forbearance expired. They also told us that they would call us before the expiration of the 3 months but they never did. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX - We called numerous times during XX/XX/XXXX and Carrington refused to extend the forbearance advising us to call for an extension only after the expiration date has occurred. During at least two of these calls they told us that they would call us the week before our forbearance was to expire. They never did. In good faith, we have tried to work with Carrington to save our home and keep our good credit. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX XXXX called Carrngton who then refused to extend our mortgage forbearance stating that the program was no longer available. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX- XXXX # XXXX advised XXXX that the program was over and that Carrington couldnt grant an extension. When I broke down from the stress and mental exhaustion, she told me that Carrington would accept one payment before XX/XX/XXXX and that would stop foreclosure proceedings on our home. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX - Acting in good faith again and at the direction of Carrington, we made a mortgage payment in the amount of {$2400.00} - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Bank records show that XXXX received our payment of {$2400.00} XX/XX/XXXX - Without prior notification to us, Carrington refunded the payment made on XX/XX/XXXX of {$2400.00}. This was very upsetting to find that they refused to accept our payment. \n\nXXXX - XXXX immediately called Carrington who denied receiving the payment made on XX/XX/XXXX for {$2400.00}. Further Carrington advised that if 3 months were not paid immediately, interest will accrue, the 3 months of forbearance would result in derrogatory credit reports and foreclosure proceedings would be initiated. XXXX is a long haul heavy load truck driver and his mental and physical performance is critical for safety reasons. XXXX called me, in absolute fear and distress that he was going to lose the first home hes ever owned. I began having severe XXXX pain as a result of the news and wasnt able to function for 2 days. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX - A Notice of Intent to Foreclose dated XX/XX/XXXX was received by USPS from Carrington XX/XX/XXXX - A certified copy of Notice Of Intent to Foreclose dated XX/XX/XXXX was received by hand delivery OBSTRUCTION Further, as part of their scheme to steal the homes of consumers in distress from XXXX and hurricane Ian, Carrington is obstructing our ability to obtain a modification or other mortgage assistance relief by repeatedly providing false and misleading information and losing documents that were submitted and in their possession. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX - After learning that Carrington refused to extend our forbearance, XXXX # XXXX told me to go to their website and complete a Mortgage Assistance Package as soon as possible XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ) - I sent a completed Mortgage Assistance Package with all requested documentation to XXXX as instructed. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX - I receive a letter ( attached ) from Carrington Mortgage stating that they had not received all of the required documentation and my application was incomplete. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX - At XXXX XXXX, I called and spoke to XXXX # XXXX about the missing documents for our mortgage assistance. After review of our record, XXXX stated that one of the bank statements that we sent was missed by Carrington so XXXX sent both statements to her supervisor for follow up. She also stated that they are saying that my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  for my upcoming XXXX payments doesnt match my XXXX XXXX XXXX ( before the XXXX  ). She said that they are requiring further documentation of my pension. \n\nXXXX advised me to attach my old XXXX award letter showing BOTH the XXXX award and the lower XXXX award of {$1300.00}. Regarding documentation of my State of Florida XXXX XXXX, my check has been {$1000.00} since XX/XX/XXXX and my award letter matched all my bank statements so this was a ridiculous request. For this reason, on XXXX advice, I included both our XXXX bank statement as well as all activity on our account up to date ( XX/XX/XXXX ). \n\nXX/XX/XXXX - At XXXXXXXX XXXX, on XXXX recommendation, I sent the additional documentation via email XX/XX/XXXX - I received another letter from Carrington dated XX/XX/XXXX once again stating that they never receive the required documentation. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX - ( XXXXXXXX XXXX  ). I called Carrington asking for a supervisor and got a very nasty and condescending supervisor named XXXX # XXXX. Numerous misrepresentations were made by XXXX and it appeared that her job was to impede my ability to obtain help rather than facilitate it. From the start, she was not transparent or forthcoming about anything. \n\nXXXX told me that they still needed documents for my Mortgage Assistance Application. XXXX went through the bank statement and advised me that I did not send 2 months of bank statements. She said that I only sent one statement and the XXXX bank activity printout. She refused to listen to me that I had actually sent 3 bank statements ( XXXX, XXXX & XXXX ) and a printout of all subsequent activity. I told her that I did this on the advise of another employee. Finally, after an hour of trying to get her to understand and without admitting that she found the 3 statements, XXXX said that she would send an email to the department explaining the situation. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX - I received yet another letter dated XX/XX/XXXX from Carrington, stating that they have received additional documents provided by me but our loss mitigation application remains INCOMPLETE.\n\nWhen we applied for Mortgage Assistance, we were told it would take 30 days. I was also told that I had 30 days to submit all documents or my application would become null and void and Id have to reapply. The application was submitted on XX/XX/XXXX. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and due to Carringtons negligent handling of documents and willful deception, our application will expire in 5 days, while foreclosure proceeds.\n\nFURTHER OBSTRUCTION Lastly, when we originally called Carrington on XX/XX/XXXX and advised that our home had been damaged, we were never told to open a claim with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). On subsequent calls, we were never told to open a claim to get our insurance money. It was only when I received 2 small checks from our insurance company that I learned that I had to first open a claim with XXXX who is handling loss mitigation for Carrington, thereby further delaying the dispersement of my funds and the repair of my home. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX I spoke to XXXX # XXXX and asked for instructions to remit insurance checks for damages. He advised that they could not process my insurance checks until their XXXX package was received. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX - I received a Carrington Claim Packet via email. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I sent ONE email with all 3 signed and completed documents in the claim package 1 ) 3rd Party Authorization for our PA ( Total Claim Source ) 2 ) Borrowers Declaration of Intent to Repair 3 ) Insurers Estimate of Damages XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX sent insurance checks along with 3 additional printed copies of the required documents via overnight USPS XX/XX/XXXX- I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX from Carrington Mortgage stating that they still required our Insurers Estimate of Damages which was emailed over 2 weeks before and physically sent via overnight mail. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I called Carrington mortgage and spoke to XXXX # XXXX, supervisor with Carrington Mortgage Services. I asked to speak to XXXX in reference to a letter I received. XXXX said that I was talking to XXXX. I advised her that I was told by XXXX that they were a contractor. She interrupted me saying that they were the same company. I explained that all 3 documents were attached to an email and that I didnt understand how they got 2 attachments but not the 3rd. XXXX interrupted me and spoke over me numerous times. I allowed her to explain her scripted answer over and over which was not responsive to my question. When I would try to ask a question, she consistently cut me off mid-sentence. XXXX was unprofessional and a rude and condescending bully which only heightened my anxiety and fear of losing my home. Both of us have gotten to the point of not being able to sleep at night as a result of Carringtons obstructive and antagonistic business practices. This lack of sleep could be life threatening for someone transporting XXXX pounds across the country. XXXX consistently evaded answering me when asked about numerous errors by Carrington. Finally an hour later, she told me that she had to transfer me to XXXX because they were a contractor for Carrington. She knew that XXXX was a contractor and deliberately tried to deceive me. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX - At XXXX, I finally reached XXXX XXXX # XXXX who advised me that the database shows that they did receive the insurers estimate twice and that it was indeed on file. She also advised me to call for an inspection because the balance of my insurance checks would be held until they inspected the home. I requested an inspection and was told that Id hear from an inspector within a couple days. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I received a phone call from XXXX, an independent Roof Inspector. XXXX told me that his earliest appointment for an inspection to release my funds was XX/XX/XXXX ( nearly 4 months ). He said that some lenders will do a virtual inspection. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX - XXXXXXXX XXXX I called XXXX and was so thankful to get one of the few people that were helpful. - XXXX # XXXX. I told her that that they would not be able to inspect the roof until XX/XX/XXXX and that I just couldnt wait that long as I am displaced from my home paying close to {$1500.00} per month in storage and rent out of own pockets. Our insurance still has not paid a dime toward expenses and we advised Carrington of our additional expenses which are a direct result of this natural disaster. I also told her that Carrington is rapidly trying to foreclose on my home and I might not be here in 4 months. XXXX requested a virtual Inspection on my behalf. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX - XXXXXXXX XXXX I received a call from XXXX ( my XXXX file owner ). She told me that she will set up a virtual inspection and I will receive a call today or tomorrow with the information of where to send the photos. \n\nXX/XX/XXXX - At XXXX XXXX, I received a text message from XXXX XXXX XXXX advising me that she will be calling me to schedule an inspection. So Im back in the Carrington delay zone waiting to see how long it will take for her to come and inspect. \n\nSUMMARY In summary, based on representations made by Carrington, we believed that we could use the little money that we had to pay for storage of our belongings and rent a place to live so that we could begin to rebuild our lives. We never imagined, nor were we told, that they would immediately demand the back payments, ruin our credit and foreclose on our home. Carrington told us that : 1. The maximum forbearance they could give us was 3 months and that we could request an additional 3 month extension only after the expiration of the 3 months.\n\n2. Mortgage assistance or modification would be available after the forbearance expiration.\n\n3. There would be no late fees applied to the forbearance months 4. Payments missed during forbearance would not be reported as late to the credit reporting agencies.\n\nCarrington has a reputation in the debtors community for using criminal means to harm the borrower through deceptive acts connected to mortgage forbearance resulting from federal disasters. On XXXX XXXX, The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) received a consent order finding that Carrington Mortgage unlawfully withheld legally mandated pandemic protections, wrongly imposed fees, and reported false information to credit reporting companies,. It further determined that homeowners were misled and denied key protections at a time when they were in most need of help.\n\nAs a result of the above consent order, Carrington Mortgage Services agreed to pay a {$5.00} XXXX penalty to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) for improper practices related to the forbearance plans provided for homeowners during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, while settling that consent order, Carrington was continuing the exact illegal practices for which they were being fined. This establishes a pattern or practice of continuing violations and penalties should be assessed to compensate us for our mental anguish and emotional distress in addition to making us whole by repairing our credit and deducting all expenses related to the pursuant, illegal foreclosure.\n\nNOTE : I have documents but am unable to load them to your system but would be happy to email or send USPS.

The credit reporting company has once again taken steps they were not only NOT AUTHORIZED to take, but were also explicitly told not to. Further, the credit reporting companies refusal to comply with section 605b of the Fair Credit Reporting Act has and is preventing the consumer from securing housing, which has resulted in severe and irreparable harm and potential homelessness. That said, should the credit reporting company not take action to properly remove/block the information that has been repeatedly reported to them as being the result of identity theft by close of business Tuesday XX/XX/year>, a TRO will be sought to have the courts force Experian to do as its legally required to do. \n\nPREVIOUS COMPLAINTS DETAILS : Recently I discovered a new negative piece of information on my Experian credit report that was furnished by XXXX XXXX. On information and belief, the furnished information indicated the account was past due and charged off with a balanced owed around $ XXXX. Initially, since I am a customer of XXXX XXXX, with XXXX accounts, all of which are active and in good standing, I thought that maybe the information was submitted incorrectly, or to the wrong file, so I initiated a dispute. A few days later Experian came back and stated the information was accurate. Next I contacted XXXX XXXX and confirmed my four accounts with them were and are still active and in good standing. They were also unable to find where the negative information was coming from thus they could not provide me any further details. Having spent the last 6 years recovering from what seems like the never ending battle that comes with being the victim of identity theft, I knew the furnished information must have been the result of identity theft. Since I am a paid member of Experians, which comes with identity theft protection and a fraud resolution specialist whos with you every step of the way, my next call was to them. The agent I spoke with opened a case for me and a few days later XXXX a Fraud Resolution Specialist got in contact with me to discuss the situation. Having gone through this before, when she called I was prepared with my FTC Identity Theft Report and proper forms of Identification, which I uploaded to Experian.com through a link provided my XXXX. At the end of my call with XXXX, I was left believing that Experian would fully comply with the Law and block the information within the short time they have to do so. Boy was I wrong. Instead, 2 days later I received and email telling me the dispute I requested was now open, however I DID NOT ASK FOR THE INFORMATION TO BE DISPUTED AGAIN, NOR DID I GIVE MY PERMISSION TO ANY ONE AT EXPERIAN TO ACCESS AND SHARE MY CREDIT REPORT TO DO SO. Less then twelve hours later I received another email telling me my dispute was completed and the information was verified as valid by the furnisher ( Of course the furnisher believes its valid. Someone pretended to be me and open an account with them, so in their eyes the information is valid, when it is not. By initiating this dispute without consent, Experian caused my credit score to drop 6 points. Over the court of the next 10 days, I left no less than 35 voicemails for XXXX, at her extension, as well as in her teams general mailbox. To date ZERO of my messages have been returned. I then spent 2 pain staking days arguing, sitting on hold, being hung up on, and transfered to so many different departments at Experian, yet not a single one wanted to take ownership of the problem and help guide me to a resolution. My last call during that 2 day period, I landed at the desk of XXXX in disputes. First XXXX tells me he could not find the FTC ID Theft Report and Identification I submitted but then proceeds to tell me it doesnt matter, because in his opinion the information was valid and that he would not do anything else to assist me. When I asked for a supervisor, he first refused, then said fine and put me on hold for 45 minutes, at which time he came back on the line and ended our call. 10 minutes after he hung up on me I reviewed an email from Experian that reads : In response to the request we received to remove certain items from your credit report, we have examined the identity theft report you provided to us and have confirmed that it is a fraudulent document. Pursuant to Section 605B ( c ) ( 1 ) ( B ) and Section 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( A ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, we have not blocked any items from your credit report or initiated disputes of any items on your behalf due to the fraudulent nature of the documentation we received. Deliberately providing fraudulent identity theft reports to Experian is a serious matter. Experian security personnel actively work with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies on cases involving fraudulent identity theft reports that were submitted to Experian in an effort to alter or remove data for credit repair purposes. Please be aware that Experian reserves the right to report this incident to law enforcement, creditor security personnel or the appropriate government agency listed on the identity theft report, and to request criminal prosecution of the individual ( s ) who submitted the fraudulent document. First, how can he claim he doesnt have the documents, then 10 minutes later make such egregiously false accusations about said documents. My response is simple, go right ahead and contact the authorities, would you like me to dial the number for you? I maintain the same position today, simply because I know which of us is being truthful and which is not. The following Monday, I spent another 6 hours being transferred, put on hold, and hung up on, until I finally got a supervisor who actually helped me. Since XXXX was being unresponsive, they created a new case so it could be assigned to a different specialist, and a few days later a specialist named XXXX reached out to discuss my identity theft issuers. While on the phone with him he sent me another link to upload documents and I once again sent in my FTC ID Theft Report and appropriate IDs. The next day I received an email stating that they were unable to block the information because they did not received the exact documents I uploaded the day prior. THey then once again WITHOUT MY CONSENT disputed the information, which caused my credit score to drop another XXXX points ( so thats now a 12 point reduction in my score due to Experian taking action on my credit file I did not ask for or give them consent to do ). I then began to reach out to XXXX, which I have now done more than 25 times and just like XXXX he has not responded to a single one of my messages. \n\nUpdate on complaint XXXX - Experian has now initiated two more disputes without my knowledge or consent. They have also sent me an email stating : We are responding to your request that information in your personal credit report be blocked due to identity theft. Based on our review of your request and the information available to us, we have determined that either : your request to block was made in error, or, your request to block information was based on a material misrepresentation, or, you knowingly obtained or should have known that you obtained possession of goods, services, or moneys as a result of one or more of the transactions that you are seeking to block. Therefore, we are declining your request to block one or more of the items of information. If you have additional relevant information that indicates that the disputed item ( s ) resulted from identity theft, please contact us again and provide this information. If you still believe the disputed item ( s ) is inaccurate, then we will add a statement of continued dispute to the credit report at your request. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, our role in the dispute process is to review the accuracy and completeness of any disputed item which may include contacting the furnisher of the information or the vendor that collected the information from a public record source, and notifying them of the dispute and disclosing all relevant information regarding your dispute. When we contact the furnisher or vendor, we ask that they verify all of the information regarding the item you disputed and report back within 30 days of the date that we received your request ( 21 days for Maine residents ). To help resolve the dispute, we will review all relevant documents submitted with the dispute and will forward them to the furnisher if we are unable to resolve the issue. We review and consider the furnishers or vendors response to determine whether to accept it, reject it, or follow up for additional information. If, after processing, we find that the disputed information is inaccurate, incomplete or can not be verified, we then delete or modify that information, as appropriate. If we do not receive a response from the furnisher or the vendor within the required period, we update the item as you have requested or delete the information, and send you the results. In some instances we are able to determine whether the disputed information should be changed or deleted without having to contact the furnisher or the vendor. After we complete our processing, we send you the results. If you question the results of our dispute process, you may also contact the furnisher of information directly. Please refer to your credit report for the furnisher or public records office name, address, and phone number ( if available ).

I am only one of  many. This is my story. \n\nBack in XXXX, Wells Fargo illegally put CPI insurance on my auto loan, then they repossessed my vehicle when I couldnt pay the bloated payments. I recently learned that there was a class action lawsuit against them in regards to that issue. They lost the case and were ordered to pay class action members millions of dollars. I was a member of that lawsuit. This is how those events have impacted my life. \n\nBACKGROUND It would be difficult to explain the impact that the criminal actions of Wells Fargo have had on my life without giving personal context. Please bear with me as this isnt my strong suit. \n\nAt the time that Wells Fargo came into my life, I was a young, single, working mother with XXXX small sons. Previously, I had worked as a XXXX, then a XXXX XXXX, but a few years prior, I had taken a XXXX job in a different field that provided better pay and benefits and allowed me to rather quickly work from living in subsidized housing, to paying my own rent in a townhouse, and then to being approved for a government program that helped you buy a first time home. My American Dream was almost complete. All I had left was to get out of the jalopy I was driving and find something more reliable. Enter Wells Fargo, the wolf in sheeps clothing. \n\nTHE PURCHASE For months, everyone I knew kept telling me I needed to get a better, newer car, but even though the one I had was nickel and diming me to death, it was paid off and I liked that. I had no monthly car note to pay, and I didnt have to carry full coverage insurance on it. I liked the small cushion of comfort I had at the end of each paycheck and was hesitant to give it up by financing a vehicle, but then one day the junker unceremoniously decided to give up the ghost on the way to work and I knew the time had come. So I found a used car dealer nearby that had an older SUV ( it was a XXXX and this occurred in XXXX ) that seemed like a decent fit. It had room enough for the kids and the payments wouldnt break the break or so I thought. \n\nTHE BREAKDOWN I barely had time to relax into the experience of moving into a new house and getting a decent vehicle when things started going south. Only a couple months after I signed the loan, my safe, reliable vehicle took a spectacular XXXX. The transmission went out, apparently causing a lot of damage when it did, and the repair bill was nearly {$4000.00}. The dealer refused to help ( yes, I was naive enough to think they would ), so I was forced to borrow money so I wouldnt be left without transportation. I had to get the kids to daycare and school and I had to get to work. I didnt have anyone to help with that. I had no choice. \n\nSo I got the vehicle fixed and was left stretching to pay all these extra expenses, but I was getting by. However, very shortly after, without warning, my auto loan payment amount spiked. I had no idea why, so I called Wells Fargo. The explanation I got was as clear as mud, but basically I was told that this was just a new requirement for me. I was led to believe it had something to do with my credit getting worse. I was never once asked for proof of insurance. In fact, I dont recall ever even being asked if I had any. ( If I had been, it would have been simple for me to provide proof at that time. ) So though I didnt like it one bit, I didnt question what I was being told too much because my credit HAD gotten worse since I had acquired all this new vehicle-related debt, so I guess it just seemed plausible to me. XXXX, but plausible. Like I said, I used to be pretty naive - I knew that businesses were in it for the profit, but I believed that companies were, for the most part, at least on the up and up. \n\nSo I was left thinking that this was simply a new company policy that I couldnt fight, it was out of my control, and that I would simply have to figure out how to make it work. I tried desperately to do just that. I stopped paying other bills so I could cover the car note. After all, if I couldnt get to work, I couldnt keep the household afloat. \n\nAs time went on, I just couldnt figure out how they arrived at their figures. It seemed like I was always behind with them, and I didnt even know how it had happened. I mean, I had always paid all my bills - the important ones, anyway. House, heat, car, insurance, etc. Now, I was suddenly, inexplicably delinquent no matter what. If I tried to talk to them, they treated me like I was a criminal just trying to lie to get out of trouble. For all their threats and strong arming though, the one thing they did not tell me was that I could be in danger of losing the vehicle. \n\nTHE REPOSSESSION And then I woke up one morning, not long after, and went to run the trash out before I got ready for work and the truck was gone. I was literally so shocked that I just walked back inside and sat down on the couch. I couldnt get my head around what was happening. Eventually, I came out of it a little and called my mom crying, saying my truck had been stolen. She told me to call the police. When I called, I dont know how they knew, but they were the ones who told me it was repossessed. I still just couldnt believe it, but I called around until I found out that it was true - my car had been repossessed. I asked to get my personal belongings back ( my only coat and my sons school bag were in there ), but was told that I would have to pay all the past due charges and the repo-related fees first. I couldnt even buy a cup of coffee at that point, so I didnt get my belongings back and never saw the vehicle again. \n\nTHE AFTERMATH Even now, after I have had so much time to reflect, its hard for me to describe the state of disbelief I was in. Things had escalated so quickly, and I had been TRYING the whole time, I wasnt being non compliant or uncommunicative - I didnt just take the car and run and not make any payments - so I never believed they would go from loan signing to repossession in such a short time.. How did that benefit them? I still dont understand that part. The car was supposedly sold at auction for a considerable loss ( they told me I still owed {$8000.00} after ). Why take it away from someone who was at least trying to make all the payments you demanded and instead pay all those extra costs to the repo man, the auctioneer, etc. and not even recoup the sales price? That part makes what followed even more difficult to swallow. I know that, in the great scope of things, what I experienced was minor ( even knowing what was yet to come ) compared to the trauma and devastation that some people face in their lives, but to say that my life imploded all because of this one incident isnt much of an exaggeration. \n\nNow I had no car and I worked on the outskirts of a town with a woefully inadequate public transportation system. It was too far to reasonably walk, and even if I could, what would I do with the kids? I didnt have enough friends or acquaintances with schedules that matched mine who could drive me around. So I couldnt get to work consistently. In a situation like that, it doesnt take long to point out of even a generous attendance policy. Which is what happened. I lost my job. I had never been let go before. \n\nNow I had no car and no income. I couldnt transport my children where they needed to go. I couldnt get to stores, appointments, doctors. Even if the places were on the bus routes, I didnt have bus fare. Especially for all three of us. You even needed a car to apply for state aid - in those days there weren't any online applications. I couldnt pay my bills. My power ( and heat ) was turned off. That had never happened to me. I couldnt keep my children warm or cook for them. I couldnt pay the housing bill and was kicked off the home buyers program. I lost the house. \n\nNow I had no car, no income, and no place to live. I had nowhere to go except a shelter or a relatives couch. I chose the couch, but I still couldnt take our belongings. Even if there had been room, I had no way to transport them. Since we could only pack very few things, I didnt waste space on paperwork ( like auto insurance documents for a vehicle I no longer owned ). That would just take up space where I could put one more of my little boys beloved stuffed toys. Pay attention - that little detail comes back to bite me. \n\nAs I have said, we have a small, XXXX family unit anyway, but help from the few people I did have around was even less forthcoming because they all found my story so unbelievable that they just couldnt believe that I hadnt just been somehow grossly negligent and brought this all on myself and so, in turn, upon them. Apparently, in their minds, it was easier to believe that I had suddenly completely stopped being the responsible person I had a history of being and just I dont know goofed off? I guess I wasnt the only naive one around. \n\nFor those of you fortunate enough never to fall into a hole, let me tell you - it is a whole lot harder to dig yourself out once you hit bottom. Its not as simple as just getting to work digging. There are suddenly so many more obstacles down there. I couldnt get a job because I had no car, I couldnt get a car because I had no money. I couldnt get a house because I had no income and bad credit. I couldnt go to interviews because I had no transportation, no clothes, no self-esteem, not even a phone to schedule them. I had no phone, no internet, no hope. My XXXX  health conditions worsened - I have had XXXX XXXX since I was XXXX years old and have XXXX XXXX. I was XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX from XXXX ( later diagnosed ). \n\nYou may notice that one topic is mostly absent here - the impact on my children. I will not be discussing that topic. Dredging up the memories of that time is already costing me a lot - whether or not anyone feels it is justified or not, I am emotionally wiped by this exercise - trying to explain the damage to my children is more than I can bear. The pain, guilt, and shame is too much. If you must, just imagine what it would be like for your child to wake up and suddenly lose everything they held dear and made them feel safe - their house, their beds, their toys, their computer and games, their dog. They cant go out anymore, but they have no real place to be. They have to be quiet and cant move around much inside, but its a dangerous neighborhood outside. And their mom isnt the same person anymore. Shes sad and mad and sick. ... Yeah. Imagine that. \n\nTHE UPSWING And so we went on like that for almost three years until I finally was able to secure an entry level position at a nearby call center. It wasnt my field, but the office was in the neighborhood. I took the bus and showed up in the only clothes I had - ripped leggings that smelled like cat pee from the couch I slept on - and sat in a plush conference room at a vast mahogany table across from the fully-suited owner of the company and XXXX  my way through the interview. I got the job. It was XX/XX/XXXX. \n\nIn XX/XX/XXXX, the landlady of the house next door to where I had been staying agreed to give me a chance now that I had steady income, despite my terrible credit. Afterall, I had a repossession on my record, you know. \n\nIn XX/XX/XXXX, I bought another car. My first since the repo. Bought it outright. Paid a whopping {$600.00} for it. It was a rust bucket, but it was mine. \n\nIn the fall of XXXX, a year after I was hired in, I was promoted. I was now assistant to the president of the company. My income improved. So did my outlook. I started planning. I started attending college online. I made a three year plan to get out of the ghetto and buy my first houseagain. \n\nBy the end of XXXX, I had paid off most of my debt - over {$11000.00}. I was working with another home buyers program which included educational classes and debt counselling. They liked where I was heading. \n\nIn XXXX of XXXX, I got the keys for our second first house. And it is a nice house. In a nice neighborhood. My kids can feel safe and secure here. And even though they arent little boys anymore ( they were XXXX and XXXX then ), I set to work trying to repair some of the lost trust they had in the world. \n\nLASTING EFFECTS In XXXX my XXXX  flared up and worsened to the point that I had to give up my job. When that happened, I was thrust back into the position where I was unable to pay my bills and my home stability was threatened, and that triggered my XXXX from the previous trauma from the Wells Fargo incident. My symptoms were so severe that I ended up hospitalized. After release, I spent more than a year in therapy working through those issues, but never have been able to go back to work and currently live off of XXXX. While I did regain stability again, my life isnt nearly what it used to be. I am no longer the active, vital member of the community and workforce that I used to be. My confidence is gone, my tolerance for stress is greatly diminished, and I am plagued with bouts of XXXX. My childrens lives and personalities have been irreversibly impacted. For example, one of them, still to this day as an adult, has food hoarding issues resulting from the days in his formative years when his next meal wasnt guaranteed. \n\nTHE RELAPSE Just when I thought I was back on an even keel, out of the blue in the fall of XXXX, I received a letter stating that I was a member of a class action lawsuit against Wells Fargo for their unlawful application of XXXX to auto loans. The letter gave the date of my original loan as XX/XX/XXXX. I did some research online and was surprised to discover that my experience wasnt isolated. You might think that the news would be welcome, but at the time, I was just upset that they had come out of the woodwork to victimize me again by making me relive those memories all over again. So I put the letter in a basket and ignored it for some time. \n\nTHE LAWSUIT : A TIMELINE On XX/XX/XXXX, I decided to call the number on the class action notice to find out more. I was told that no action on my part would be required and that checks would be issued through late XXXX and early XXXX. \n\nDuring the winter of XXXX, I saw online that some people were being asked to provide proof of insurance coverage, but I had read that my state ( Michigan ) was one of the five states exempt from needing to provide proof of insurance, so I thought that was why I didnt receive a request for documents. \n\nI didnt hear anything more until XX/XX/XXXX when I received a letter from Wells Fargo. It said : We purchased the following CPI policy ( ies ) on your behalf because our records reflected that you did not have your own comprehensive and collision insurance coverage. CPI policy effective XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX XXXX, XXXX. We do not have record of your personal insurance coverage for this entire period. \n\nOur records show that your loan was originally sold to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and that XXXX XXXX no longer owns your loan ( because it was subsequently sold to a different company ). We may need to contact the current owner of your loan in order to complete additional research. If you can provide the name of the company that currently owns your loan, please call us at XXXX. \n\nThough I usually save important information, because I was forced to leave behind most of my belongings when I became homeless, I do not have proof of my full coverage insurance in XXXX. I called my insurance company and was told that they do not store records that long. \n\nOn XX/XX/XXXX, I called and opened a complaint with Wells Fargo Office of the President asking why they were demanding proof of insurance from me when I am in Michigan and supposedly exempt from that requirement. I was assigned a case number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and an agent, named XXXX. She never answered my question about exemption. She was persistent in asking for my insurance information and I relented and confirmed who my insurance provider was at the time. Since it had been the same provider since I opened the account, I figured they already had this information, so it shouldnt be harmful to tell them. I also told the story about why I did not have records ( repossession, etc. ) and also explained that the insurance agency told me they didnt have the records on file. Since their letter asked about the debt holder, I mentioned that there should be no current loan holder as I had to pay all the collection accounts on my credit report off in order to repair my credit enough to be able to purchase my home. She did not comment, nor ask for any further information. She just told me that the issue would be escalated for review and would be resolved within ten business days, so that should be XX/XX/XXXX but that the entire process could take up to 120 days, but she would call every five days until resolved. I didnt hear back, so called for update on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and was told both times that there was no new information On XX/XX/XXXX, I received another letter from Wells Fargo. It said : According to our records, we did not receive proof of insurance from you or your insurance company for the following time period ( s ) : CPI policy effective XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. We do not have records of your personal insurance for this time period. Upon account review, we determined you are not eligible for a refund. \n\n\nOn XX/XX/XXXX, To add insult to injury, I received a check from the class action settlement group, in the whopping amount of {$2.00}. \n\nOn XX/XX/XXXX, I called the Wells Fargo Office of the President and spoke to an agent named XXXX who assigned me a case number ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and opened a second complaint. He said that someone would be returning my call to gather details. \n\nOn XX/XX/XXXX, An agent named XXXX called and said he had been assigned to my case and asked what my complaint was. I stated that I disagreed with the denial - just because the insurance company and I dont still have records from 14 years ago, doesnt mean I didnt have insurance. The policy ended when the car was repossessed. XXXX said he was unaware that I had a repossession, that information wasnt in my account. I told him that I had told the previous agent ( XXXX ) and that she was supposedly going to investigate. He said he would escalate to his research team and that the issue would be resolved within 10 business days, but that I would hear from him by next Monday or Tuesday ( XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX ) for a follow up. I didnt hear back from him. \n\nIn the meantime, on XX/XX/XXXX, I called the Wells Fargo CPI Class Action Settlement group regarding the {$2.00} check and spoke to an  agent named XXXX. I asked how that amount could be correct, when the information they provided stated that individuals in my situation would receive considerably more. He would only say that there is no appeals process for distribution plan members, but that he would create an escalation and I should hear back from someone by Monday or Tuesday ( XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX ). He did not explain exactly what the purpose of the escalation was. I never heard back from anyone. \n\nOn XX/XX/XXXX, I called the Wells Fargo Office of the President for an update and spoke to an agent named XXXX who said that XXXX wasnt online and she didnt know his work schedule so she would send him an email asking him to get back to me. She would not provide any information about my case. \n\nOn XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX returned my call and said that the investigative team determined that there was no evidence that I had my own insurance. When I tried to discuss ( again ) the fact that just because the records werent available any longer, it doesnt mean that I didnt have insurance, he said he isnt privy to the information that the investigative team has or what they base their decision on, and that my only recourse would be to try again after you receive the denial letter. I asked about the repossession and he said they have no record of that occurring. I asked if that meant a random company just stole my truck. He declined to comment. \n\nIMPACT OF THE LAWSUIT At this point, the lawsuit has served only to reopen old wounds and revictimize me by forcing me to jump through impossible hoops in hopes of receiving a paltry monetary restitution for an error ( criminal act ) that wasnt mine only to deny me twice. I am exhausted, destabilized, and experiencing mood disruptions that are affecting my quality of life. I am also angry. Why, despite a preponderance of evidence of their criminal acts, is Wells Fargo still being allowed to victimize people? \n\nCLOSING THOUGHTS I cant for the life of me understand how a company can be caught red-handed multiple times illegally, intentionally, and maliciously victimizing countless numbers of their customers and still remain in business. In the past few months, to my dismay, I have read dozens of firsthand accounts from people who, like myself, experienced massive, life-altering damages at the hands of Wells Fargo. \n\nIn those stories, the refrain I hear most often is, I thought it was just me and I can relate so well to that statement. For years, I felt exactly the same way ; alone in this. In some small way, knowing that others have had similar experiences with Wells Fargo, brings me a sense of relief from the validation that Im not crazy, that this wasnt somehow all my fault - because, despite the fact that I rationally knew better, my story was so dramatic no, TRAUMATIC that I often convinced myself it couldnt be true - but mostly, reading their stories just makes me heartsick. Knowing what so many have suffered through at the hands of an unscrupulous, crooked bank all in the name of profit saddens me deeply. \n\nIt was suggested to me by someone who has been active in trying to help folks like me who have suffered due to the irresponsible actions of this company, that I sit down and write my testimony regarding my experience. Im not sure what good it will do, but I guess if it could possibly reach someone and make them feel less alone, then it was worth it.","date_sent_to_company":"2020-07-31T05:15:51.000Z","issue":"Managing the loan or lease","sub_product":"Loan","zip_code":"492XX","tags":null,"has_narrative":true,"complaint_id":"3772336","timely":"Yes","company_response":"Closed with explanation","submitted_via":"Web","company":"WELLS FARGO & COMPANY","date_received":"2020-07-31T01:04:34.000Z","state":"MI","company_public_response":"Company has responded to the consumer and the CFPB and chooses not to provide a public response","sub_issue":"Problem with fees charged"},"highlight":{"complaint_what_happened":["Since their letter asked <em>about</em> the debt holder, I mentioned that there should be no current loan holder as I had to pay all the collection accounts on my <em>credit</em> report off in order to <em>repair</em> my <em>credit</em> enough to be able to purchase my home.

Stay strong and be a good person as best I can and keep holding on to the equal respect we all as humans Deserve. My complaint is on all that uses this credit system as a whole. equally I am leaving no one out. If you base all on this score that can make the good look bad and the more fortunate look perfect. I try very hard to so .this credit thing, and tho in my younger days I will admit I was to Nieve to grasp the idea I do understand the concept provding more chance of accomplishment on the creditor and XXXX  . This alone I great give the respect to be fair and treated as well as the next I am all for this. Yes give me the  opportunity. If a mistake is made we are all human with errors but should be still giving the chance as well as the choice to fix. And sow again .... This allowing us to give the option to say \" I came, I saw.. \" well you get the point.. \nFor months now I think I have been on this repetitive looping error I see know as your credit score. Granted before I understood how credit worked I did order from XXXX and when my problem with my product was not acknowledge I kinda threw the now oversized computer paperweight aside and fought with my ... let 's just say not a good phone that I just purchased from XXXX well yes I didn't feel that that bill in life was important due to the fact that I had to buy another phone and the computer didn't even have a hard drive in it when it came. Yes I chose to keep going not just suffer and be ignored of my concerns and continue to pay to be ignored or looked less apone because well I am on disability so I only got so much money as is and at the time I still had rent and bills to pay as well. \nThis I may have been wrong but that one thing has made my whole credit experience almost impossible since it's like one of the few things even reported to my credit it not only has a charge of since it was sold to a creditor. But it also claims late on payments Wich was not me as well I had my payments for everything set up to come right out of my bank account sadely now that I think about it academy bank has also caused me alot of grief not to mention extra charges due to overdraft fees late ect. \nBare with me I don't understand this if I collect a disability cheeck and it is in my bank direct deposit every month and things are set up to take there part each month out. Then how am I responsible for the payment not being received.. or be charged because of it. If the check comes and an agreement is made to take an amount out each month there should not be an issue. Well I guess if the banks system goes down or it hits over a weekend or some kind of excuse to hit me with the It's your fault pay for it excuse.on my credit report it claims late payments on a loan threw academy bank because of a bank error not once but twice there system did not get the payment and I was held responsible with extra fees for whatever the reason was.. I have payed more in fees threw XXXX XXXX  then I honestly would like to admit and I stayed with them for many years believing I was in good hands when in the end I felt robbed of most of my disability checks due to fee cost and bank errors /problems that alternatively effected my credit score not to mention those pointless hard inquiry s that hit each time I try to get any kind of credit and someone wants to go to my score to only see I have no open acciuntsvor it's to new account or my late payments and XXXX issue oh wait I already get dinied the past eight months or more I lost count .I have applied over and over again for a loan. Knowing I can easily make a XXXX $ payment at the most ever month no matter what I just needed the help of a lump sum to take off the amount if stress I had in life a lot the time. Unfortunately everywhere denied me unless it was some scam they always said yes that's how I new they we're back before they even tried seatting need up with the task I needed to do for a loan I will never get. Tho I do admit they almost got me a few of my desperate times I really honestly needed the help not just to stay on top of things. Like when I was living in a camper that was flooding because of a rain storm a simple loan would of helped me with repairs replacing or even getting into an apartment.but no my score my score my score. Or recently in XXXX when my father in-law died and we got stuck with property taxes and bills. And ... Well let 's say I now own a home but I lost my storage because I had to chose to pay the property taxes left from my father in-law to keep the house or pay in my storage unit I had been paying on the past eight years waiting to get into a home big enough for my things.. ironically I now have a home payed for free and clear but I lost my storage unit and still can not get a loan because of my score even tho I now don't have the responsibility to pay rent every month ... you would think my chances of receiving a loan would increase beings I can afford more on monthly payment if I received a lump soon to take care of the things I most desperately fir my own XXXX XXXX honestly just want to take care of. But was denied due to. Well you get the picture it's the same thing over and over again I even tried a mortgage threw XXXX XXXX and also got denied because my credit is only XXXX mind u XXXX dye to more inquiring on what I just exsplained.. ooh and the initial asking for any for of credit in the first place..I have now giving up on getting a loan or mortgage because I'm not allowed to. For whatever reason they can come up with even though I am more the happy to agree to a monthly payment for the rest of my life for all I care I really could of used the help and fir it being so fair i sure got denied without any leeway of bettering my self and or future. Guess I'm not as fortunate as others who may of had that backup pillow in life to fall on. I can only say I've been willing to better myself if giving the chance and also being understanding to error rather it be mine or a machine that calculates my exception s in life. \n\nI was working in my credit using a XXXX XXXX XXXX card and I do so much thank them for trying and giving me a chance when so many denied before even looking my direction I tried to use my credit card to build my credit. I understand the rule of 30 % to build but when know one will give you a loan and hard times are happening I was very tiered of feeling the pain of life and wanted relieve and XXXX XXXX gave me XXXX $ to use every month and I used it every bit of it.i needed to build my credit and I figured out the most awesome way I would use my credit card to pay up on my storage I had falling behind on and everything will be ok.. well I was wrong unfortunately if u need your credit asap then you make a payment over the phone with will post normally the fallowing day. I need to pay storage every month as well as a few other things so I set up automatic payment to pay off my credit card. This was a big mistake because this can take up to seven days to cancel out if needed and the automatic bill still gets sent threw if you happen to need to cancel it so u can use the little money you have to still pay it yet receive the credit in time to pay off a storage unit saving it from heing auctioned off.. well I cancelled and was Abel to pay and save my storage. But the automatic still went threw Wich at first was ok then my father in law passed away. And I didn't receive the notices saying my check didn't clear from my bank Wich at the time I was getting rid of because of all the extra charges in the first place .. anyway it was a difficult few weeks. But by the time I was contacted and told I needed to make a payment to my credit card I had no problem with thinking that I would pay off my XXXX $ all art once like I did every month and receive my credit and go pay my storage. I pay the creditor and ask when my credit would be available and I was then told my account was closed due to failure to pay even tho every month I payed off my whole credit bill I used every month in full XXXX giving no regards to this as well as no credit towards looking reliable to make payments to the credit agintcy.. I was basically told thanks for the last dollar to your name have a good day and had no way to pay anything on my storage unit... I am having a hard time mentally dealing with losing my storage unit I worked hard to keep for years just to place in a stable home that I now have a storage unit containing my childhood memories as well as my children 's birth certificate s memories as well.. all because u had to work on a score to let other people Kno they can give me credit and I will follow rules as my thanks and appreciation beings we are all treated equal or as said equal opportunity .... I still got not one loan a email full of fake accept notices that only deny me as soon as I fill out the same form over and over again.not one open account cause once again a computer system auto screwed me so I have no credit and now lost my storage unit less then a week ago because I had to chose to pay taxes on a home my family needed I needed .yet as not helped to get the payment to save my storage I tried so hard to get in a home of my own ... I've giving up on credit loans banks morgages..help in general.. I guess I'm sapst to live depressed in hard times XXXX XXXX  type of life with nothing left to even say I made it this far with in life but if by chance I can help bring awareness to the deptemental inpact that honestly is involved in this credit score pecking order of help and assistance then I hope someone will give that help to someone who desperately needs it and may good things come to the Ines who sees past and finds those if us who needs the help and are good honest people willing to only help and better themselfs as well.then please don't make anyone go threw the embarrassing moments of constant denieals or being forced to exsept that no one will give you credit because of your credit that may have been miscalculated making it unfair in the first place. Tonight I thought it would be nice to get a diy electric guitar and bass kit the ones you build yourself I even thought financing them would build my credit in turn give me a new start on something of my own to have as well as something to due in my quiet time in life because I'm an XXXX I lose to play and it all sounded like a great idea beings I just set here in this house now wishing I had my things in storage. I found a place and applied for the credit to do this .mm and was denied I wanted to just cry drowning in my own tears type of feeling then I seen this complaint section. After all I have went threw this past year due to this score thing.. I had to say my peace before I give up on it completely. I don't think I will ever have faith in anything that containers the false hope of fairness in this life if it contained the words credit score .. or credit in general I hope this helps some one somewhere if I may have brought apone any type of awareness to the idea of helping your fellow man being that helping hand that good person those try to claim behind all these helping hand creditors.i wish those who give those who are trying a bad name or deniel find a way as well to better there ways of life so we all as a whole can live in good standings amongst one another..

So to understand me might be impossible. So I wanted to try this again now that I understand how this works Here is what I wrote before but now eddited .I do apologize I so sounded illiitorit due to being tiered and auto correct it is always posting XXXX 's I don't XXXX ; ) This is my issue on the fair credit and this past year I had to Indore trying to apply this credit thing to my life. Tho this all seems to be the most unfair way to live life I do say this with the most upmost respect to the situation at hand please bare with me. And try to understand my issue ... \n\n\nI am a XXXX year old mother. As many of us do at some point in our lives, well trying to push past hard times in life. Stay strong and be a good person as best I can and keep holding on to the equal respect we all as humans Deserve. My complaint is on all that uses this credit system, as a whole, equally I am leaving know one out. If you base all on this score that can make the good look bad and the more fortunate look perfect. This is who I'm speaking to ..\n\nI try very hard with this credit thing, and tho in my younger days I will admit I was to Nieve to grasp the idea ... I do understand the concept provding more chance of accomplishment on the creditor and XXXX.to weed out the overlooked more obvious This alone I understand it im provided the respect to be fair and treated as well as the next I am all for this. Yes give me the opportunity. If a mistake is made we are all human with errors but should be still giving the chance as well as the choice to fix. And sow again ... beings we weap what we sow. This allowing us to give the option to say \" I came, I saw.. \" well you get the point.. \n\nFor months now I think I have been on this repetitive looping error I see know as your credit score. Granted before I understood how credit worked I did order from XXXX and when my problem with my product was not acknowledge I kinda threw the now oversized computer paperweight aside and fought with my ... let 's just say not a good phone that I just purchased from XXXX.. well yes I didn't feel that that bill in life was important due to the fact that I had to buy another phone and the computer didn't even have a hard drive in it  when it came not to mention I couldn't get any help in my issue .so Yes I chose to keep going not just suffer and be ignored of my concerns and continue to pay to be ignored or looked less apone because well I am on XXXX so I only got so much money as is and at the time I still had rent and bills to pay as well. \nThis I may have been wrong ibsoon understood the importance of credit and what is needed and uptaind I life with it .. but just that one thing has made my whole credit experience almost impossible since it's like one of the few things even reported to my credit ... its not only considered a charge of since this debt was sold to a creditor. But it also claims late on payments Wich was not me as well I had my payments for everything set up to come right out of my bank account sadely now that I think about it ... tho academy bank has also caused me alot of grief not to mention extra charges due to overdraft fees late ect. \nBare with me I don't understand this if I collect a XXXX cheeck and it is in my bank direct deposit every month and things are set up to take there part out each month. Then how am I responsible for the payment not being received.. or be charged because of it. If the check comes and an agreement is made to take an amount out each month there should not be an issue. Well I guess if the banks system goes down or it hits over a weekend or some kind of excuse to hit me with the It's your fault pay for it excuse. Because on my credit report it claims late payments on a loan threw academy bank because of a bank error not once but twice there system did not get the payment and I was held responsible with extra fees for whatever the reason was.. I have payed more in fees threw XXXX XXXX  then I honestly would like to admit and I stayed with them for many years believing I was in good hands when in the end I felt robbed of most of my XXXX checks because most of the money went words unnecessary fees due to fee cost overdraft and bank errors /problems that alternatively effected my credit score not to mention my life not to mention those pointless hard inquiry s that hit each time I try to get any kind of credit or help and someone wants to go to my score to only see I have no open accounts or it's to new account or my late payments and XXXX issue that has been a ended issue and the account has been sold and dismissed iv even tried to dispute the issue that I had no assistance on my problem causing me to forget XXXX. As well as disputed the XXXX XXXX because I did pay that loan off in full. And the two late payments was do to academy bank computer system not taking out the money as I was told it would. \n\nI already have gotten denied the past eight months or more I lost count .I have applied over and over again for a loan. Knowing I can easily make a XXXX $ payment at the most ever month no matter what I just needed the help of a lump sum to take off the amount if stress I had in life a lot the time. XXXX wanted the lest XXXX $ and I had asked at some places who needed a bigger about 3-5000 at most I honestly cared to get ..Unfortunately i have been denied from everywhere ... unless it was some scam they always said yes that's how I new they we're a scam before they even tried seatting me up with the task I needed to do for a loan I will never get. \nOr getting my password to my bank or money to get the loan up front.Tho i do admit they almost got me a few times in my desperate times I really honestly needed the help not just to stay on top of things. Like when I was living in a camper that was flooding because of a rain storm .a simple loan would of helped me with repairs, replacing or even getting into an apartment.but no my score, my score, my score. Or recently in XXXX when my father in-law died and we got stuck with property taxes and bills. And ... Well let 's say I now own a home, but I lost my storage because I had to chose to pay the property taxes left from my father in-law passing in order to keep the house, or pay on my storage unit I had been paying on the past eight years.i had been waiting to get into a home big enough for my things.. ironically I now have a home payed for, free and clear but I lost my storage unit and still I can't get a loan because of my score even tho I now don't have the responsibility to pay rent every month ... you would think my chances of receiving a loan would increase beings I can afford more on monthly payment due to no rent to pay for .yet I cant received a lump soom to take care of the things I most desperately, for my own mental health honestly just want to take care of. But was denied due to. Well you get the picture it's the same thing over and over again I even tried a mortgage threw XXXX so we could get help on these bills we are stuck trying to catch up on since his passing and I so got denied because my credit is only XXXX mind u it now is XXXX due to more inquiring on what I just exsplained.. ooh and the initial asking for any form of credit in the first place..I have now have giving up on getting a loan or mortgage because I'm not allowed to. For whatever reason they can come up with even though I am more the happy to agree to a monthly payment for the rest of my life for all I care I really could of used the help and for it being so fair i sure got denied without any leeway of bettering my self and or future or the means to build on ... Guess I'm not as fortunate as others who may of had that backup pillow in life to fall on. I can only say I've been willing to better myself if giving the chance and also being understanding to error rather it be mine or a machine that calculates my exception s in life. \n\nI was working in my credit using a XXXX XXXX XXXX card and I do so much thank them for trying and giving me a chance when so many denied before even looking my direction I tried to use my credit card to build my credit. I understand the rule of 30 % to build but when know one will give you a loan and hard times are happening I was very tiered of feeling the pain of life and wanted relieve and XXXX XXXX   gave me XXXX $ to use every month and I used it every bit of it.i needed to build my credit and I figured out the most awesome way I would use my credit card to pay up on my storage.. I had falling behind on everything butvi believed it would be ok.. well I was wrong unfortunately i did use the while amount every month as well as payed it in full every month in hopes to raise my credit but i was never credited for such only 100 % payback That u can barely seen ona report ... i needed my credit asap so i make a payment over the phone that will post normally the fallowing day. I needed to pay storage every month as well as a few other things so I set up automatic payment to pay off my credit card. Well This was a big mistake because this can take up to seven days to cancel out if needed and the automatic bill still gets sent threw. But if you happen to need to cancel it as I had to Kno choice given the sercum stance so i can use what little money you have to still pay in order to still receive the credit in time to pay off a storage unit I had to save it from being auctioned off..might not work out and all the payment previous didn't seem to mater I cancelled and was Abel to pay and save my storage. But the automatic still went threw Wich at first was ok then my father in law passed away. And I didn't receive the notices saying my check didn't clear from my bank Wich at the time I was getting rid of because of all the extra charges and overdraftbn the first place .. anyway it was a difficult few weeks. But by the time I was contacted and told I needed to make a payment to my credit card I was told I had to pay with so I would pay off my XXXX $ all at once like I did every month and receive my credit and go pay my storage. I payed the creditor and ask when my credit would be available and I was then told my account was closed due to failure to pay even tho every month I payed off my whole credit bill I used every month in full XXXX giving no regards to this as well as no credit towards looking reliable to make payments to the credit agintcy.. I was basically told thanks for the last dollar to your name have a good day and had no way to pay anything on my storage unit... I am having a hard time mentally dealing with losing my storage unit I worked hard to keep for years just to place in a stable home that I now have a storage unit containing my childhood memories as well as my children 's birth certificate s memories as well.. all because I had to work on a score to let other people Kno they can give me credit and I will follow rules and as my thanks and appreciation beings we are all treated equal or as said equal opportunity .... I still got not one loan a email full of fake accept notices that only deny me as soon as I fill out the same form over and over again.not one open account cause once again a computer system auto screwed me and now I don't even have one credit card either so I have no credit and now lost my storage unit less then a week ago because I had to chose to pay taxes on a home my  family needed I neededyet couldn't get a XXXX $ .loan got Kno help r  helped to get the payment to save my storage I tried so hard to get in a home of my own ... I've giving up on credit loans banks morgages..help in general.. I guess I'm sapst to live depressed in hard times Ramon noodles type of life with nothing left to even say I made it this far with in life, but if by chance I can help bring awareness to the deptemental inpact that honestly is involved in this credit score pecking order of help and assistance then I hope someone will give that help to someone who desperately needs it and may good things come to the One who sees past and finds those of us who needs the help and are good honest people willing to only help and better themselfs as well.then please don't make anyone go threw the embarrassing moments of constant denieals or being forced to exsept that no one will give you credit because of your credit that may have and u can't work on or build credit if knoine allows u to and all u get is denied anyway.its a miscalculation in events making it unfair in the first place Tonight I thought it would be nice to get a diy ( do it yourself ) electric guitar and electric bass build kits the ones you build yourself. I even thought financing them would build my credit in turn give me a new start on something of my own to have as well as something to do in my quiet time in life because I'm an XXXX I love to play and it all sounded like a great idea beings I just set here in this house now, wishing I had my things in storage. I found a place and applied for the credit to do this ... and was denied.. I wanted to just cry, drown in my own tears type of feeling then I seen this complaint section. After all I have went threw this past year due to this score thing.. I had to say my peace before I give up on it completely. I don't think I will ever have faith in anything that containers the false hope of fairness in this life if it contained the words credit score .. or credit in general I hope this helps some one somewhere if I may have brought apone any type of awareness to the idea of helping your fellow man being that helping hand that good person those try to claim behind all these helping hand creditors.i wish those who give those of us whom who are trying a bad name, or deniel find a way as well to better there ways of life so we all as a whole can live in good standings amongst one another.. I do hope my voice can be taken or read in to consideration that will make me feel better beings I have been looked down apone and treated unfairly do to all this beat regards to who ever climes the score next oh not to mention iv also been told now after applying for a loan spendingvXXXX $ at XXXX XXXX  that after I removed my checks and stopped using the bank there overdraft protection don't work and I owe them XXXX ...

I have received several checks from investment firms which turned out to be fraud checks.

Included within the contract and verbal agreement for the {>= $1,000,000} BOND was XXXX XXXX XXXX ( a local XXXX fashion designer ) & XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX company XXXX XXXX and copy written. Our first meeting took place in XXXX Michigan with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX as well XXXX XXXX XXXX. The meeting included a transfer of information such as EIN for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the amount of the BOND acquired to produce both a textile manufacturing company and a clothing line brand therein. XXXX XXXX banking account management expert her involvement was to introduce us to the big dollars as she stated. She introduced me to XXXX XXXX employed with XXXX XXXX XXXX.

XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX educated me on what to do concerning my home and how to acquire payment in the year XXXX. Stated by XXXX XXXX I needed to contact the US Government agencies concerning my home and file the proper paper work, this would assure my debt to income ratio would be very low and my credit score would rise high. So I went online to the USDA government site and filled out the form XXXX XXXX ( Rev.

Thereafter the property was paid in fullas ofXX/XX/XXXX, as stated by XXXX XXXX documents and letter ( s ). Both companies or banks XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX have been acquired by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. See form FORM XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). Please be advised we where instructed on how to filI out the form by bankers and government agents or employees and therefore this document is very legitimate and legal. Yet JPMorgan Chase whom acquired XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX at the same time the USDA GOVT BOND funds disappeared. This information was reported to the state of California. 18 U.S. Code $ i961 Section 1028 ( relating to fraud and related activity in connection with identification documents ), section 1029 ( relating to fraud and related activity in connection with access devices ). XXXX XXXX at the time was located in XXXX MI, and XXXX XXXX located in XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, whom are the experts in manufacfuring, lean manufacturing and infrastructure. XXXX XXXX was the banking expert in appropriating funds for the funding investment, and XXXX XXXX worked along side XXXX XXXX andXXXX XXXX to secure the investment funds.

The notes where later emailed to everyone involved as listed within this document. A conversation came up about the legitimacy of their bank dealings with XXXX XXXX XXXX and how would the funds be released if they exist? XXXX XXXX via XXXX XXXX emailed me the BOND CUSIP numbers and other information via email on multiple occasions. ( see email attachment ). Thereafter receiving the BOND and CUSP information we investigated and asked a friend of XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) whom was a broker look into it, and she was astonished and very surprised that we had access to this direct information. She stated that if it was n't real there would not be a CUSP number attached for this is how they track and keep account of all BONDS or investments notes. So we where convinced of the legitimacy and began documenting the contract. I have received multiple emaiis and phone calls from XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX assuring me that the USDA BOND was secured and in my companies name but a working came through and she continued for a second and third time sending me emails about the BOND giving lessons about the finance history and the XXXX XXXX debacle. I had contacted everyone to schedule a meeting in XXXX so we could figure out what happened with the USDA BOND secured note instrument and who was involved and how we could gain the funds back from whom ever taken it. Only XXXX myself and XXXX XXXX attended the meeting. Everyone else would not answer their phones. At this point XXXX began calling claiming to hold the investment instrument on the mortgage that was recently paid off. They used such tactics like calling XXXX in the morning and well after XXXX at night. They also contacted family and friends in other states claiming we do n't like to pay our bills. Yet someone inside of the bank had taken the USDA GOVT BOND and somehow convinced others that the USDA documents that stated \" pay to the order of the United States without recourse '' was not real. After being embarrassed by such illegal tactics and the disappearance of the USDA GOVT BOND, we began doing research and investigating the issues that seemed to be tied together that being the payoffof the mortgage and the disappearance of the USDA BOND. We had expressed on multiple occasions that the USDA GOVT BOND was real when the bank JPMorgan said it was n't before being educated with the first claim filed on XX/XX/XXXX. We also stated on multiple occasions in affrdavit and in letters that we did not sign or re-sign any documents with XXXX XXXX XXXX d.b.a XXXX XXXX XXXX aka XXXX XXXX XXXX. Since XXXX XXXX the CUISP # USDA FUNDS disappeared as well all of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX employees along with it. XXXX XXXX made an attempt to warn me by sending the emails concerning the BOND itself. She simply stated \" I am trying to help you '' without exposing whom took the funds. She then tried to distract me with statements concerning the XXXX XXXX Debacle and offers of a new investor. Home land mortgage broke into our home the year XXXX while we where visiting and looking to relocate to XXXX GA. The alarm system records state that someone had entered the house via a upstairs window. Later we would received multiple photos take by XXXX XXXX around the same time. We have tried multiple attempts to do a loan modification with NACA and other outside agencies rathe XXXX XXXX would not work with us or they stated that the investor ( XXXX ) did not want to do a loan modification because our household made too much money and we could affiord the payments they had set up even though we had proven that we had no contract with them through XXXX XXXX XXXX d.b.a XXXX XXXX XXXX aka XXXX XXXX XXXX.

The deal with XXXX XXXX XXXX originated with employee XXXX XXXX offrce located in XXXX XXXX XXXX, also with XXXX XXXX employee XXXX XXXX inXX/XX/XXXX. Thereafter before the BOND disappeared XXXX XXXX began emailing the actual BOND to myself and other business associates via internet and communicated via cell phone and land line this makes your companies both XXXX and XXXX XXXX the culprits and assessors to this theft and fraud crimes committed across state lines. The idea of \" no jurisdiction '' is highly irrelevant and provides proper jurisdiction by way of the R.I.C.O ACT as explained within this Affidavit document. The point that a crime was committed via across state lines using telecommunications emails cell phones and meetings in person within several states. Employees from several of your companies conspired against my person and company to fraud theft the $ XXXX which I was told that the funds would not be available until after the maturity date, which was XX/XX/XXXX by this time all contacts had been cut offby XXXX and XXXX XXXX. This is simply a conspiracy to fraud theft the funds used my company 's legitimacy to gain access to the {>= $1,000,000} ( XXXX XXXX ) dollar bond and destroy my name company 's reputation with the communities involved and to destroy and injure me with the Mortgage fraud. The idea to injure me beyond capacity and repair by committing theft on the BOND ( $ XXXX ) via XXXX XXXX XXXX, create a mortgage by way of acquired mortgage company XXXX during the crash of the market would allow an illusion of a crash ( housing market ) hiding the other facts of the contract deal between XXXX XXXX XXXX and my company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. This idea of waiting to release funds thereafter the maturity date after XX/XX/XXXX would allow this to go unnoticed to many but we kept our eyes on this entire move. I. The fact that XXXX XXXX became the investor of an alleged mortgage alleging that both XXXX XXXX XXXX and I XXXX XXXX XXXX signed with a company that never possessed a license to be involved with servicing and mortgages monetarily is fraud and a conspiracy. il. When XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Manager at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX located in XXXX XXXX , and XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX located in XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX , began ignoring my calls after thereafter XX/XX/XXXX as they told me to be patient as we where approaching the maturity date, simply justify conspiracy without explanation of what had taken place, remember XXXX XXXX warned me via email approximately XX/XX/XXXX by sending the actual copy of the BOND TRUST NOTE.

Shortly thereafter, on or ab out XX/XX/XXXX, I was admitted into the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX after experiencing XXXX related issues. I was placed in the intensive care unit for a number a days and thereafter, released from the hospital. Thereafter, on or about XX/XX/XXXX, I was wrongfully terminated from my place of employment that I held for approximately ten years. \n\nAfter experiencing three major life-changing experiences and being unemployed, I continued to make my mortgage payments via my personal savings. Thereafter, I requested assistance from then Washington Mutual, which was later purchased by JP Morgan Chase Bank and or Chase Home Financing all to no avail. I was instructed to continue making my mortgage payments and received absolutely no assistance from either bank! Thereafter, I learned that Chase Bank and or Chase Home financing signed a \" Servicer Participation Agreement for the Home Affordable Modification Program '' ( \" the HARP contract '' ) on XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX XXXX ( see-attached document labeled exhibit A ) on information and belief Chase Home Finance, LLC also signed a HAMP contract with XXXX   XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. \n\nWith this newfound knowledge, I demand assistance from JP Morgan Chase Bank and or Chase Home Finance with negative results. Over 95 % of the time I attempted to contact Chase by telephone, I faced long periods of holding time and whenever I attempted to leave a message with their assigned representative, the service providers mailbox would inform me that it was \" full '' and can not accept any messages. In addition, Chase routinely gave false statements by stating that my documents were never received, but failed to specify what documents. \n\nChase Home Finance stated in a letter to Plaintiff, \" A review of our records indicates that Chase made numerous, unsuccessful contact attempts in order to try and facilitate a short sale. '' However, Plaintiff taped recordings tells a different story. The recordings shows Chase Home Finance had Plaintiffs correct telephone number, but intentionally and deliberately called the wrong number to prevent Plaintiff from receiving any assistance. \n\nTheir criminal practice carried on routinely and I submitted overwhelming documents and taped telephone conversations to prove that Chase Bank intentionally and deliberately failed to assist me. They continuously and repeatedly lied by alleging they did not receive any of the my documents TO AVOID PROVIDING THE ME WITH ANY RELIEF OR APPROVE A SHORT SALE BECAUSE SERVICING THE MORTGAGE WAS MORE LUCRATIVE TO THEM THAN PROVIDING ME WITH ANY RELIEF. \n\nJP Morgan Chase and/or Chase Home Finance are intentionally ignoring a grave fact that I sent the requested documents and they INTENTIONALLY LIED by stating that they never received my documents. As a direct result, I was forced into bankruptcy, my property went into foreclosure and my requests for assistance were denied for alleged insufficient documentation. Although, I have records to disprove their false statements and prove that the documents were sent to the defendants via certified mail RR, express mail, postal mail and facsimile ( Please see attached ). \n\nChase Home Finance also state in their letter to Plaintiff, \" Indications are that the property is fire damaged. '' Plaintiff vehemently disputed defendants false accusations and obtained a letter from the City of XXXX, New Jersey Fire Chief XXXX XXXX. In his letter ( See attached ) to Chief XXXX XXXX, Chief XXXX states that there have been no responses to the property in question during the periods I owned the property. In addition, Plaintiff took numerous photographs of the property, which clearly showed that there is absolutely no evidence of fire damage. \n\nContinuing with their misconduct, Chase called me at my home telephone number and left a message on the evening prior to the short-sale. At XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( phonetic ) of Chase Home Finance called from telephone No. XXXX and left a message on my voicemail stating that the short sale would be declined due to insufficient documentations that were never submitted. Plaintiff sent the documents via certified mail, express mail & facsimile. ( Please see attached receipts ) Beginning in the XXXX of XXXX, the federal government instituted several measures to try to stabilize the housing and credit markets and assist troubled homeowners. In XX/XX/XXXX, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 ( EESA ) was passed to promote stability and liquidity in the financial system. Among other things, EESA authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to establish the Troubled Asset Relief Program ( TARP ). TARP funds were used, in part, to promote various mortgage loan modification programs. \n\nThese programs were, The Making Home Affordable ( MHA ) Program, Home Affordable Modification Program ( HAMP ), \" The Home Price Decline Protection Incentives ( HPDP ) initiative, The Principal Reduction Alternative ( PRA ), The Home Affordable Unemployment Program ( UP ), The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program ( HAFA ), The Second Lien Modification Program ( 2MP ), The FHA-HAMP Program, The Treasury/FHA Second-Lien Program ( FHA2LP ), The FHA Refinance for Borrowers with Negative Equity ( FHA Short Refinance ) Program, Housing Finance Agency Hardest Hit Fund ( HHF ) Despite the voluminous number of programs available, Chase Bank and or Chase Home Finance did not recommend nor offer any of the programs. Instead, they allowed me to go further into debt, foreclosure and then bankruptcy, while defendants continued profiting from servicing Plaintiffs mortgage and receiving credit from the United States Government. \n\nFurthermore, Chase Home Finance states, \" Chase did not receive the necessary documents in order to conduct a short sale review. '' Once again, Chase Home Finance intentionally and deliberately gave false statements in order to manipulate their requirements of the signed contract agreement with XXXX XXXX and other signed consent agreements with the United State government and the state of New Jersey. However, the facts will show that Chase Home Finance received their requested documents via express mail, certified mail and facsimile ( see attached documents ). \n\nChase Home Finance also state in their letter, \" Indications are that the property is fire damaged. '' Once again, this is a false statement. Attached hereto is a letter ( See attached document ) from the City of XXXX, New Jersey Fire Chief XXXX XXXX to Fire Official XXXX XXXX. In his letter to Chief XXXX XXXX, Chief XXXX states that there have been no responses to the property in question during the periods I owned the property. More importantly, I have taken numerous photographs of the property, which clearly shows that there is absolutely no evidence of fire damage. \n\nTo make it appear as though they made an effort to provide me with relief, Chase Home Finance called me at my home telephone number and left a message on the evening prior to the short-sale. At XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( phonetic ) of Chase Home Finance called me from telephone No. XXXX left a message on my voicemail stating that the short sale would be declined due to insufficient documentations that were never submitted. However, Mrs. XXXX statement that documents were never submitted is contradicted by my attached documents that prove otherwise. \n\nOn or about XX/XX/XXXX, the City of XXXX, New Jersey adopted a vacant property registration ordinance in which they began charging fees to register vacant homes ( See attached ). Unbeknownst to me, I paid the City of XXXX {$500.00} for the first initial registration fee, and {$1500.00} for the second registration fee. ( See attached documents ). \n\nOn or about XX/XX/XXXX, I responded to City of XXXX, NJ, spoke with Mrs. XXXX XXXX XXXX, and advised her that I could no longer afford to make the vacant property registration payments. Mrs. XXXX advised me to submit my statements in a letter addressed to her and as she requested, the letter was sent to her via priority mail. On or about XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from a City of XXXX, New Jersey official, XXXX XXXX from the Department of Economic Housing Development Department. Mr. XXXX wrote to enquire about my payment of the vacant property registration fee. ( See attached ) I responded to Mr. XXXX email ( See attached ) and advised Mr. XXXX of the following : Attached hereto is a copy of the letter I sent to your office via priority mail # XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX. It is in response to a letter from your office dated XX/XX/XXXX. Thereafter, I receive a telephone call from your office stating that Chase Bank is responsible for making the vacant property payments and that I would be receiving a refund. Since then, I have NOT received a refund or call from your office in regards to my refund, except your email in regards to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on or about XX/XX/XXXX. \n\nI am XXXX and CAN NOT afford to make the payments, in addition, Chase Bank REFUSES to liquidate the property and they have refused to make the REQUIRED vacant property payments and somehow, your office is deciding to go after the XXXX person with NO FUNDS and Chase Bank has BILLIONS of dollars and refuses to pay! \n\nPlease help/assist me in resolving this matter because I can not afford these payments. In addition, I am anticipating a refund from your office, not a notice to payment with penalties. \n\n\nCoincidently, Chase Bank released their lien to the property ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NJ ) on or about XX/XX/XXXX, in order to avoid paying the City of XXXX, New Jersey the vacant Property registration fee. Unfortunately, I was not given notice from Chase Bank until AFTER XX/XX/XXXX. \n\nChase Bank is fully aware they are responsible for making the vacant property registration payment with the City of XXXX, New Jersey, however they intentionally failed to do so. I received numerous tickets on the property and made numerous court appearances because Chase Bank refused to maintain the property. \n\nI filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, more succinctly on or about XX/XX/XXXX. ( See attached ) Chase Bank responded with THREE separate letters addressed to me, admitting they owed XXXX XXXX {$2000.00}. We previously agreed to reimburse you {$2000.00} for certain fees based on the receipts you submitted in XX/XX/XXXX. WE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL REGISTRATION PERIODS UNTIL THE LIEN WAS RELEASED. \n\nChase Bank requested that I sign a release agreement that did not include any reimbursement for my cost of cleaning up the debris, reimbursement for paid back taxes, reimbursement for travel & cost for several court appearances because Chase Bank refuse to maintain the property or have it secured, nor did the document have a date in which I would be paid for my cost, so I refused because Chase Bank was not negotiating in good faith. \n\nOn or about XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a Complaint, alleging various violations of New Jersey 's Consumer Fraud Act ( CFA ), which protects consumers from deceptive, false, or fraudulent business practices because Chase Bank refused to pay. The Complaint alleges that Defendants falsely, erroneously and deceptively, denied Plaintiff any relief with respect to his mortgage loan with the defendants. ( See attached ) Chase Bank responded by lying to the court and denying owing me any monies. ( See attached brief by Chase Bank outside attorneys ) Chase Bank denied owing me the money for the vacant property registration fees and they denied having a responsibility to provide me with any relief with my property DESPITE SIGNING CONSENT AGREEMENTS WITH THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS STATING THAT THEY WOULD PROVIDE HOMEOWNERS LIKE MYSELF RELIEF! INSTEAD, CHASE BANK CHOSE TO INTENTIONALLY, WILLFULLY & KNOWINGLY LIE IN A SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY. \n\nFurthermore, there is no right to a loan modification under New Jersey Law and a servicer can not be compelled to accept a short sale. The crux of Plaintiffs Complaint appears to be loss mitigation. It is well accepted that \" there is no right to a loan modification under New Jersey law. '' Plaintiff also claims that Chase should be required to reimburse him for fees he paid to the City of XXXX for Vacant Property Registration and expenses paid to have the Property secured and debris removed. See Complaint, Prayer for Relief 6-7. However, Plaintiff entirely fails to present a cognizant basis as to why Chase should be responsible for these fees. \n\nFurthermore, there is no right to a loan modification under New Jersey Law and a servicer can not be compelled to accept a short sale. The crux of Plaintiffs Complaint appears to be loss mitigation. It is well-accepted that \" there is no right to a loan modification under New Jersey law. '' The Banks Unfair, Deceptive, and Unlawful Loan Modification and Loss Mitigation Processes Under the States consumer protection laws, Chase Bank is prohibited from engaging in unfair or deceptive practices with respect to consumers. \nPursuant to HUD regulations and FHA guidance, FHA-approved mortgage lenders and their servicers are required to engage in loss-mitigation efforts to avoid the foreclosure of HUD-insured mortgages. E.g., 24 C.F.R. 203.500 et seq. ; Mortgagee Letter 2008-07 ( Treble Damages for Failure to Engage in Loss Mitigation ) ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) ; Mortgagee Letter 1996-25 ( Existing Alternatives to Foreclosure -- Loss Mitigation ) ( XX/XX/XXXX ). Thus, when acting as a servicer, Chase Bank was required to refrain from foreclosing on any FHA insured mortgage where a default could be addressed by modifying the terms of the mortgage or other less-costly alternatives to foreclosure were available. \n\nUnder the Treasurys various rescue and stimulus programs, Chase Bank received monetary incentives from the Federal government in exchange for the commitment to make efforts to modify defaulting borrowers residential mortgages. See, e.g., Making Home Affordable Handbook v.1.0, ch. 13 ( Incentive Compensation ) ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX ). Under the programs, Chase Bank agreed to fulfill requirements set forth in program guidelines and servicer participation agreements. \n\nChase Bank regularly conducts or manages loan modifications on behalf of the entities that hold the loans and mortgages and that hired the Banks as servicers. In the course of their servicing and oversight of mortgage loans, Chase Bank violated federal laws, program requirements and contractual requirements governing loss mitigation. \n\n\nChase Bank attorneys statements in the briefs to the Superior Court of New Jersey Plaintiff also  claims that Chase should be required to reimburse him for fees he paid to the City of XXXX for Vacant Property Registration and expenses paid to have the Property secured and debris removed. See Complaint, Prayer for Relief 6-7. However, Plaintiff entirely fails to present a cognizant basis as to why Chase should be responsible for these fees. \n\nIn no event shall JPMC or XXXX request or require any borrower to execute a waiver of any claims against JPMC or XXXX ( including any agent of JPMC or XXXX ) in connection with any payment or Foreclosure Prevention assistance provided pursuant to paragraphs 3 or 4 of this Order. However, nothing herein shall operate to bar JPMC or XXXX from asserting in the future in any separate litigation, or as part of a settlement related to JPMCs or XXXX XXXX foreclosure and servicing practices, any right that may exist under applicable law to offset the amounts received by a borrower through the distribution process set forth above. Nothing herein shall operate to amend or modify in any respect any preexisting settlement between JPMC, XXXX, or an affiliate of either and a borrower in the In-Scope Borrower Population. By Order of the Board of Governors. \n\nLoss Mitigation Requirements. \n\nSERVICER SHALL BE REQUIRED TO NOTIFY POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE BORROWERS OF CURRENTLY AVAILABLE LOSS MITIGATION OPTIONS PRIOR TO FORECLOSURE REFERRAL. Upon the timely receipt of a complete loan modification application, Servicer shall evaluate borrowers for all available loan modification options for which they are eligible prior to referring a borrower to foreclosure and shall facilitate the submission and review of loss mitigation applications. The foregoing notwithstanding, Servicer shall have no obligation to solicit borrowers who are in bankruptcy. \n\nServicer shall offer and facilitate loan modifications for borrowers rather than initiate foreclosure when such loan modifications for which they are eligible are net present value ( NPV ) positive and meet other investor, guarantor, insurer and program requirements. \n\nAs indicated in paragraph I.A.18, Servicer shall send a statement to the borrower outlining loss mitigation efforts undertaken with respect to the borrower prior to foreclosure referral. If no loss mitigation efforts were offered or undertaken, Servicer shall state whether it contacted or attempted to contact the borrower and, if applicable, why the borrower was ineligible for a loan modification or other loss mitigation options. \n\nServicer shall ensure timely and accurate communication of or access to relevant loss mitigation status and changes in status to its foreclosure attorneys, bankruptcy attorneys and foreclosure trustees and, where applicable, to court-mandated mediators. \n\nSingle Point of Contact 4. The SPOC SHALL, at a minimum, provide the following services to borrowers : a. Contact borrower and introduce himself/herself as the borrowers SPOC ; b.

Provide information regarding credit counseling where necessary ; k. Help to clear for borrower any internal processing requirements ; and l. Have access to individuals with the ability to stop foreclosure proceedings when necessary to comply with the MHA Program or this Agreement. \nThe SPOC shall remain assigned to borrowers account and available to borrower until such time as Servicer determines in good faith that all loss mitigation options have been exhausted, borrowers account becomes current or, in the case of a borrower in bankruptcy, the borrower has exhausted all loss mitigation options for which the borrower is potentially eligible and has applied. \n\nServicer shall ensure that a SPOC can refer and transfer a borrower to an appropriate supervisor upon request of the borrower. \nServicer shall ensure that relevant records relating to borrowers account are promptly available to the borrowers SPOC, so that the SPOC can timely, adequately and accurately inform the borrower of the current status of loss mitigation, loan modification, and foreclosure activities. \nServicer shall designate one or more management level employees to be the primary contact for the Attorneys General, state financial regulators, the Executive Office of U.S. Trustee, each regional office of the U.S. Trustee, and federal regulators for communication regarding complaints and inquiries from individual borrowers who are in default and/or have applied for loan modifications. Servicer shall provide a written acknowledgment to all such inquiries within 10 business days. Servicer shall provide a substantive written response to all such inquiries within 30 days. Servicer shall provide relevant loan information to borrower and to Attorneys General, state financial regulators, federal regulators, the Executive Office of the U.S. Trustee, and each U.S. Trustee upon written request and if properly authorized. A written complaint filed by a borrower and forwarded by a state attorney general or financial regulatory agency to Servicer shall be deemed to have proper authorization. \nServicer shall establish and make available to Chapter XXXX trustees a toll-free number staffed by persons trained in bankruptcy to respond to inquiries from Chapter XXXX trustees. \nServicer shall consider partnering with third parties, including national chain retailers, and shall consider the use of select bank branches affiliated with Servicer, to set up programs to allow borrowers to copy, fax, scan, transmit by overnight delivery, or mail or email documents to Servicer free of charge. \n\nDevelopment of Loan Portals. \n\n1. Servicer shall develop or contract with a third-party vendor to develop an online portal linked to Servicers primary servicing system where borrowers can check, at no cost, the status of their first lien loan modifications. \n2. Servicer shall design portals that may, among other things : a. Enable borrowers to submit documents electronically ; b. Provide an electronic receipt for any documents submitted ; Provide information and eligibility factors for proprietary loan modification and other loss mitigation programs ; and c. Permit Servicer to communicate with borrowers to satisfy any written communications required to be provided by Servicer, if borrowers submit documents electronically. \n3. Servicer shall participate in the development and implementation of a neutral, nationwide loan portal system linked to Servicers primary servicing system, such as Hope LoanPort to enhance communications with housing counselors, including using the technology used for the Borrower Portal, and containing similar features to the Borrower Portal. \n4. Servicer shall update the status of each pending loan modification on these portals at least every 10 business days and ensure that each portal is updated on such a schedule as to maintain consistency. \n\nLoan Modification Timelines. \n\n1. Servicer shall provide written acknowledgement of the receipt of documentation submitted by the borrower in connection with a first lien loan modification application within 3 business days. In its initial acknowledgment, Servicer shall briefly describe the loan modification process and identify deadlines and expiration dates for submitted documents. \n2. Servicer shall notify borrower of any known deficiency in borrowers initial submission of information, no later than 5 business days after receipt, including any missing information or documentation required for the loan modification to be considered complete. \n3. Subject to section IV.B, Servicer shall afford borrower 30 days from the date of Servicers notification of any missing information or documentation to supplement borrowers submission of information prior to making a determination on whether or not to grant an initial loan modification. \n4. Servicer shall review the complete first lien loan modification application submitted by borrower and shall determine the disposition of borrowers trial or preliminary loan modification request no later than 30 days after receipt of the complete loan modification application, absent compelling circumstances beyond Servicers control. \n5. Servicer shall implement processes to ensure that second lien loan modification requests are evaluated on a timely basis. When a borrower qualifies for a second lien loan modification after a first lien loan modification in accordance with Section 2.c.i of the General Framework for Consumer Relief Provisions, the Servicer of the second lien loan shall ( absent compelling circumstances beyond Servicers control ) send loan modification documents to borrower no later than 45 days after the Servicer receives official notification of the successful completion of the related first lien loan modification and the essential terms. \n6. For all proprietary first lien loan modification programs, Servicer shall allow properly borrower financials to be used for 90 days from the date the documents are received, unless Servicer learns that there has been a material change in circumstances or unless investor requirements mandate a shorter time frame. \n\nIndependent Evaluation of First Lien Loan Modification Denials. \n\nExcept when evaluated as provided in paragraphs IV.B.8 or IV.B.9, Servicers initial denial of an eligible borrowers request for first lien loan modification following the submission of a complete loan modification application shall be subject to an independent evaluation. Such evaluation shall be performed by an independent entity or a different employee who has not been involved with the particular loan modification. \n\nServicer shall not, in the ordinary course, require a borrower to waive or release claims and defenses as a condition of approval for a loan modification program or other loss mitigation relief. However, nothing herein shall preclude Servicer from requiring a waiver or release of claims and defenses with respect to a loan modification offered in connection with the resolution of a contested claim, when the borrower would not otherwise be qualified for the loan modification under existing Servicer programs. \n\nShort Sales 1. Servicer shall make publicly available information on general requirements for the short sale process. \n2. Servicer shall consider appropriate monetary incentives to underwater borrowers to facilitate short sale options. \n3. Servicer shall develop a cooperative short sale process, which allows the borrower the opportunity to engage with Servicer to pursue a short sale evaluation prior to putting home on the market. \n4. Servicer shall send written confirmation of the borrowers first request for a short sale to the borrower or his or her agent within 10 business days of receipt of the request and proper written authorization from the borrower allowing Servicer to communicate with the borrowers agent. The confirmation shall include basic information about the short sale process and Servicers requirements, and will state clearly and conspicuously that the Servicer may demand a deficiency payment if such deficiency claim is permitted by applicable law. \n\n5. Servicer shall send borrower at borrowers address of record or to borrowers agent timely written notice of any missing required documents for consideration of short sale within 30 days of receiving borrowers request for a short sale. \n6. Servicer shall review the short sale request submitted by borrower and communicate the disposition of borrowers request no later than 30 days after receipt of all required information and third-party consents. \n7. If the short sale request is accepted, Servicer shall contemporaneously notify the borrower whether Servicer or investor will demand a deficiency payment or related cash contribution and the approximate amount of that deficiency, if such deficiency obligation is permitted by applicable law. If the short sale request is denied, Servicer shall provide reasons for the denial in the written notice. If Servicer waives a deficiency claim, it shall not sell or transfer such claim to a third-party debt collector or debt buyer for collection. \n\nServicer shall develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that REO properties do not become blighted. \n\nE. Potential Violations and Right to Cure 1. A Potential Violation of this Consent Judgment occurs if the Servicer has exceeded the Threshold Error Rate set for a Metric in a given Quarter. In the event of a Potential Violation, Servicer shall meet and confer with the Monitoring Committee within 15 days of the Quarterly Report or Monitor Report indicating such Potential Violation. \n2. Servicer shall have a right to cure any Potential Violation. \n3. Subject to Section E.4, a Potential Violation is cured if ( a ) a corrective action plan approved by the Monitor ( the Corrective Action Plan ) is determined by the Monitor to have been satisfactorily completed in accordance with the terms thereof ; and ( b ) a Quarterly Report covering the Cure Period reflects that the Threshold Error Rate has not been exceeded with respect to the same Metric and the Monitor confirms the accuracy of said report using his or her ordinary testing procedures. The Cure Period shall be the first full quarter after completion of the Corrective Action Plan or, if the completion of the Corrective Action Plan occurs within the first month of a Quarter and if the Monitor determines that there is sufficient time remaining, the period between completion of the Corrective Action Plan and the end of that Quarter. \n4. If after Servicer cures a Potential Violation pursuant to the previous section, another violation occurs with respect to the same Metric, then the second Potential Violation shall immediately constitute an uncured violation for purposes of Section J.3, provided, however, that such second Potential Violation occurs in either the Cure Period or the quarter immediately following the Cure Period. \n\n5. In addition to the Servicers obligation to cure a Potential Violation through the Corrective Action Plan, Servicer must remediate any material harm to particular borrowers identified through work conducted under the Work Plan. In the event that a Servicer has a Potential Violation that so far exceeds the Threshold Error Rate for a metric that the Monitor concludes that the error is widespread, Servicer shall, under the supervision of the Monitor, identify other borrowers who may have been harmed by such noncompliance and remediate all such harms to the extent that the harm has not been otherwise remediated. \n\nIn conclusion, Chase Bank and or Chase Home Finance has breached their contract with me, violated the terms of their various signed consent decrees with the United States and state governments and intentionally drove me into foreclosure and bankruptcy because it was more lucrative for me to fail than to provide me with any relief. \n\nJP Morgan Chase Bank sent me THREE SEPARATE letters admitting that they owe me the money for the vacant property registration and refuse to reimburse me for the back taxes, clean up & multiple court appearances. Thereafter, they hired outside attorneys to lie for them in the Superior Court of New Jersey and state that they do not owe me any money for vacant property fees and they do not have to reimburse me for any of my cost and expense. JP Morgan Chase Bank auctions are criminal! \n\nI believe I have provided overwhelming documents that proves ; Chase Bank received ALL of my requested documents and they intentionally lied and ignored my repeated request for assistance because they knew they were going to be compensated by servicing the loan AND receiving credits from the federal government. \n\nI am requesting full reimbursement and to be made whole for the following reason : 1. Full reimbursement for vacant property fees 2. Full reimbursement for paid taxes/back taxes 3. Full reimbursement for court appearances and parking 4. Pain & Suffering 5 Intentional infliction of emotional distress 6. Negligent infliction of emotional distress 7. Committing malice in their wrongful conduct 8. Breach of Contract 9.
