Consumer Narrative
Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing, after a CARES Act, COVID-related forbearance, tried to get me to enter into a modification without providing me with information about the fact that my credit score would be ruined, and they reported me late on the forbearance amount without my written approval ( i.e., I never agreed to the modification ), and when I realized the XXXX point drop in my credit score occurred, I asked to have the amount on forbearance deferred, which should not result in an impact on my credit score. That deferment has been completed. During the entire process I have tried to explain this to XXXX through the dispute process, and with Shellpoint, to at least 7 people who all refuse to listen, and simply refer me to XXXX, claiming it is their problem. XXXX tells me it is the mortgage company 's issue, since they reported the modification and that resulted in the point drop. I am very frustrated that this has ruined my credit, which was approx. 125 point higher, and consistently in the very good to excellent category for the past 20 years, until this situation caused by Shellpoint occurred. Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing has also changed from XXXX, to NewRez, to Shellpoint and had many impediments to communicating with me, and vice versa for the past 2 years, exacerbating the situation. One of the specialists that I have worked with, XXXX XXXX, at Shellpoint confided with me that my situation is not atypical, and Shellpoint as a company is customarily doing the same thing to many of their customers, i.e., tricking them into accepting a modification and then condemning them to a dramatically damaged credit rating, which prevents them from seeking another loan from one of their banking competitors. This unfair business practice is a violation of the intent of the CARES Act, which was to allow relief to borrowers during the Global Pandemic, allowing them to reinitiate their payments after the emergency had passed, without detrimental affects on their credit rating, etc. I know I am speaking on behalf of hundreds, if not thousands of borrowers with Shellpoint who once had good credit, and are now stuck with this treacherous and predatory lender. I would like the CFPB to share this complaint with others so that they may avoid this lender, their deceptive practices, and indeed know that they have recourse with the CFPB 's protections and actions. Thank you for your help!
