Complaint:
Kindly request the three major credit bureaus to cease reporting the following account information to my credit profile, in accordance with my rights and relevant laws. I am also seeking to understand the legal protections available to Americans in relation to debt collectors and reporting agencies. Below are the account details : Creditor : XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) Amount : {$1400.00} ( Negative ) Round : XXXX Sent Account Information : Account Number : XXXX Status : Closed Credit Limit : {$0.00} High Balance : {$1500.00} Payment Amount : {$0.00} Last Payment : Not Available Term : 0 Month ( s ) Description : Individual Open Date : XX/XX/XXXX Closed Date : XX/XX/XXXX Last Reported : XX/XX/XXXX Days Late : XXXX : XXXX | XXXX : XXXX | XXXX : XXXX Payment Status : Collection/Charge-off Past Due : {$750.00} Worst Rating : Not Available Remarks : Charged off as bad debt Canceled by credit grantor In accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602 A, which asserts my right to privacy, and 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 A Section 2, which mandates the need for my written consent before disclosing account information, I implore your diligence in rectifying this situation promptly. Moreover, adhering to the stipulations of 15 U.S.C. 1692C, I emphasize that any communication related to debt collection must have my prior consent.

I am interested in understanding the legal provisions that safeguard Americans from the actions of debt collectors and reporting agencies. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Complaint:
Re XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Account, Acct. # : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I sent a letter to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/22 certified mail tracking # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that illegal information is being reported by them on my credit report specifically, my credit utilization. In response, I received a letter from them ( attached ) stating that my request was received and in accordance to FCRA, they do not remove or change negative reporting unless it was reported in error. They further encouraged me to reach out to the credit bureaus to dispute the reporting. 

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE AS THE REPORTING OF CREDIT UTILIZATION IS ILLEGAL. 

Upon carefully reviewing 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ), it clearly states the following : ( 2 ) Exclusions.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( A ) subject to section 1681s3 of this title, any ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ; As such, the reporting of any transaction or experience on my consumer credit report is ILLEGAL and forbidden by government.

I appreciate your taking the time to DELETE some of the erroneous items in my credit file ; however, there are still many items that need to be DELETED. The credit bureaus must verify these items under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ). I'm hoping that these disputed items be DELETED immediately.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
CFPB, please be sure that they address my complaint, and please don't close the case simply because they claim they resolved the issue- they didn't. 

My complaint is that Transunion is getting revenge for a previous complaint I filed by eliminating my name and SS # from their database. 

They have repeatedly lied to prevent me from logging in to my Transunion account. They claim that there is a problem with the library computer I am using, or with the browser- but there is no problem with it, as I have used the same computer and the same browser they recommend to log in to other accounts. And Transunion recognized my name & SS # just recently, as they send me an email to change my password- which didn't work, as per previous complaint, but it DID recognize my name & SS #. Just recently, since filing a CFPB complaint, Transunion has removed my name & SS # from their system. Is this revenge for filing the CFPB complaint? 

I don't just want my credit report, I also want to be able to access my information online regularly without going through this hassle, possibly to put a lock on the account or for whatever other reason. Just sending me my credit report is NOT sufficient. I want to be able to log in to my account- like I used to be able to.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Hi! 

I have a mortgage with Carrington Mortgage on XX/XX/2018 I set up automatic payment arrangements to catch my mortgage up, because I missed my XX/XX/XXXX Payment due to being off work for a medical emergency without pay. These payments were scheduled to come out automatically on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and then I would have to call in for the XXXX payment. The payments came out as suppose to for XX/XX/XXXX, however the XX/XX/XXXX payment did not come out on XX/XX/XXXX so on XX/XX/XXXX when I realized it didn't come out I went into the payment portal and made the payment online myself. Well on XX/XX/XXXX, Carrington tried to process that payment as well as the one originally scheduled which caused my bank account to go into overdraft for one of the payments and it was returned. The payment that was automatically scheduled was paid with funds in my wells fargo account that day. That amount was XXXX. I found out in XX/XX/XXXX, that Carrington is now saying they received no payment in XX/XX/XXXX, and that it was returned. This is not the case. Only the payment that I tried to make when the original payment they were suppose to pull didn't come out on time. The payment that Carrington automatically deducted did come out and I have a bank statement showing that deduction. I have contacted Carrington numerous times about this payment and have told them and explained what happened, and I was given a fax number for their research and investigation department. I sent them a letter explaining what happened and a copy of my XX/XX/XXXX bank ledger directly from the bank. As of today XX/XX/2018 they are still saying they have no record of that payment at the mortgage company and that it is being researched. I am making a payment today, but because of this it is still showing me one payment behind which is not true. Thank you for your help.

Complaint:
Unresolved Identity Theft Incident Resulting in Fraudulent Charges and Credit Report Discrepancies Dear CFPB Agents I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration over fraudulent activity that has adversely impacted my credit report. 

A few months ago, I fell victim to an identity theft incident wherein my XXXX login credentials were stolen and subsequently disseminated on dark web markets. This breach led to unauthorized charges on all the cards linked to my Apple XXXX, including a particularly significant fraudulent charge on my Apple Credit Card issued by Goldman Sachs. 

The account details for the fraudulent charges are as follows : Account Name : APPLE CARD/GS BANK USA Account XXXX : XXXX The total unauthorized charges on this account alone exceeded {$100000.00}. 

Upon discovering these fraudulent activities, I promptly filed reports with both the local police department and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). Copies of these reports were forwarded to the major credit bureaus XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX as part of my dispute process. 

Despite my earnest efforts to resolve this issue and numerous disputes submitted, I regret to inform you that these credit bureaus have yet to adequately address my concerns. Not only has their response time significantly exceeded the 30-day period stipulated by law, but I also believe that a thorough investigation into my case has not been carried out. Consequently, the fraudulent Apple card is still unjustly affecting my credit report. 

Given the severity of this issue, I am now turning to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) in the hope that you can facilitate a proper investigation into this matter. I am keen to get this fraudulent Apple card removed from my credit report promptly to prevent further damage to my financial wellbeing. 

Thank you for your attention to this pressing issue. I am looking forward to your prompt response and assistance in resolving this matter. 

Yours sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
In  XXXX , I started the process of bankruptcy - but never went thru with it. I have since settled and paid my debt. I had an open account with  XXXX  that was charged off on  XX/XX/XXXX .
Since   XXXX   it has reported me late every month - even though the account is charged off and closed.
In XX/XX/XXXX  I called  XXXX  and asked if I could work out a settlement with them to get this account taken care of. The balance at that time was {$180000.00} -- they told me that if I paid {$100000.00}, they would reopen the account, set up payment arrangements for me for 12 months, and forgive {$60000.00}. They promised me that the balance would reflect as a positive balance on my credit, show the account was open and active and not reflect me past due but rather show me paying as agreed. I agreed to payments of {$1600.00} per month, and sent in the $  XXXX . They still show the account past due {$82000.00} - and charged off. I set this payment arrangement up with   XXXX   XXXX  . He misrepresented his promises to me, and did not honor any of his promises. I honored mine, and have since paid {$100000.00}. When trying to get a payoff or correct monthly statement, or to get it reported corrected on my credit they would not correct. I feel lied to.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
Around XX/XX/2018 I contacted my mortgage company to see if they were having refinancing specials such as paying for the appraisals and they said yes. So I applied to refinance on my home. They asked me what I thought the value was and I told them what last years ' value was based on a previous refinance which was {$160000.00}. I was approved to refinance and after submitting all my paperwork I was told a few of weeks later that an appraiser needed to come out and that I had to pay {$510.00} for it. I questioned the part about having to pay because initially I was told that I wouldn't have to so after consulting with their people, they said that I would get it back in closing. I asked if they could use the appraisal from last year since it was with the same mortgage company and they said no. Well the appraisal came back less than the previous years ' report. It was appraised at {$120000.00} and they denied me the refinance. I don't understand why my approval was based on last years and if that was the determining factor why didn't they do that first. I owe {$100000.00} on my home and couldn't understand why they wouldn't just refinance it with that amount. I felt discrimination from the appraisers when they came out and that they wouldn't give me a fair report. The home across the road from mine is listed to sell for {$490000.00} and the homes are valued much higher than that. I disputed that appraisal because the report wasn't accurate and the listing on XXXX doesn't give the accurate report of my home. The sq ft that's listed on XXXX is 1495 when actually it's 3400 sq ft. My dispute was denied and if I wanted to proceed with the loan application I would have to bring {$10000.00} to closing which I didn't understand. So the loan was denied and I'm out of {$510.00} and another inquiry on my credit report for the next 2 years. Which caused my score to drop. I still would like to refinance my home to take care of the financial needs that I have. I'm not sure what to do at this point and need help to at least get a refund.
