A mortgage servicer continued reporting a borrower as severely delinquent even after documentation showed a zero past-due balance following a completed loss-mitigation trial period. The servicer's prior investigation did not address the new evidence.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyMortgage Forbearance Periods Misreported as Delinquencies on Credit Reports
Borrowers who complete agreed-upon mortgage forbearance/deferral plans find their lenders incorrectly report the hardship period as standard late payments to credit bureaus, causing significant score drops. Affected borrowers struggle to get lenders to correct the reporting despite the forbearance being lender-approved and the loan being current, revealing a gap between hardship program terms and accurate credit reporting execution.
Mortgage servicer reports delinquency after instructing borrower to skip payments
A borrower followed their servicer's explicit instruction to withhold mortgage payments during a post-forbearance loss-mitigation review, only to be reported 30/60/90 days delinquent for those same months. This appears to violate CARES Act and Regulation X protections against delinquency reporting during active loss mitigation.
Credit Bureaus Report Delinquencies During Approved Forbearance Periods
Mortgage holders who entered approved forbearance plans find credit bureaus still reporting late payments for periods when no payment was legally owed. The disconnect between lender-approved suspensions and bureau reporting creates FCRA violations that consumers must fight individually. This structural mismatch affects hundreds of thousands of pandemic-era borrowers.
Mortgage Servicers Mark Trial Plan Borrowers as 120-Day Delinquent
Borrowers approved for trial modification plans have their credit reported as 120+ days delinquent by servicers, even while making required trial payments. The delinquency marks damage credit scores despite the consumer being in compliance. This is a known structural gap in trial plan reporting.
Mortgage servicer reports mathematically impossible same-day balance changes to credit bureaus
LoanCare reported a mortgage balance as decreasing by $1,600 and then immediately increasing by the same amount on the same date — a mathematical impossibility given normal payment processing. This inaccurate reporting to credit bureaus violates FCRA. Consumers have no direct way to prevent servicers from submitting erroneous credit data.
