Equicredit Corp / Fairbanks Capitol corp. Attempts to charge Late Fees and to Forclose ripoff business from hell Jacksonville, Fla Phoenix Arizona
I thought I was alone until I found this web site!
This company has harassed us with threatened foreclosure, stating that we were behind 3 payments; when all were paid on time.
At least 3 times in this last year, they applied payments maid to our Home Equity loan to our Mortgage instead. We even have a canceled check where they crossed off the Memo line that listed our HE Account# and then they wrote in the Act# of our Mortgage.
Then they insisted that we supply them with copies of the checks for June and July '01. When we did that, they changed their minds and said the period in question was March and May. Then is was May through Sept.!
We threatened to get a lawyer, but did not have to get one when they finally agreed that the loans were both paid current.
Now we get a letter that the load is transferred to Fairbanks Capitol, and they are saying we are behind in our payments and owe late fees.
It looks like it is starting ALL OVER AGAIN. CAN SOME ONE STOP THESE THIEVES? What does it take to start a Class Action Law Suit?

The problem with misapplying your payment from one loan to another was probably just an honest mistake. The guy in accounts recievable department has nothing to gain by misapplying your funds.
I work in the industry and have had to reconstruct people's credit in similar situations. You need to first get a copy of your transaction history for both loans from Fairbanks. Then get copies of all your cancelled checks to FairBanks. From that you should be able to reconstruct your payment history and find any errors that you/they or both of you made. Then it's just a matter of figuring out how to correct those errors.
Good Luck.

Since B of A sold its portfolio to Fairbanks, as of April 1, 2002 ALL EquiCredit and NationsCredit loans will be serviced through the Fairbanks office in Jacksonville; same building and same staff as the EC and NC folks.
Currently the State of Florida is reviewing many complaints against the gang of three.
A website is up and running that is devoted entirely to the Fairbanks story; of which YOU are about to become a part.
You might want to check out conti-fairbanks.com or, citi-fairbanks.com for MUCH more info on how to fight back.
Several class-actions are being prepared. They deal with "mortgage-fraud." All of the previous complaints have been related to "predatory-lending practices."
Good Luck.
