Complaint:
I am writing to file a complaint regarding the mishandling of my credit report, which is causing significant financial impact and distress in my life. On XXXX, I sent a dispute letter to address inaccurate and unknown items on my credit report. Shockingly, over 30 days have gone by, and I haven't received any response from the credit bureaus. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 611 ( a ), mandates a 30-day investigation period for such disputes. The credit bureaus ' lack of response raises concerns about their compliance with this crucial requirement. As a consumer, I have the right to demand the immediate removal of these inaccuracies from my credit report if they fail to respond within 30 days. Yet, I feel as though my concerns are being ignored, leaving me with mounting financial stress. I must also bring to your attention that I have been affected by the XXXX data breach. This breach might have contributed to the inaccuracies plaguing my credit report, further complicating my financial situation. I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene and thoroughly investigate this matter. The credit bureau 's prolonged inaction has caused me significant distress and financial hardships. I demand immediate attention and resolution to rectify these inaccuracies. As a concerned consumer, I am ready to take legal actions if necessary to protect my rights and financial well-being. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will act swiftly to address this matter and hold the credit bureau accountable for their actions. Please delete the negative inaccurate accounts from my credit report! Thank you for your urgent attention to this complaint. I look forward to a prompt resolution to this distressing situation.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: MN
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
My monthly payment quadrupled unexpectedly due to a year-long delay in processing my submitted escrow paperwork. 

I refinanced my mortgage with Discover Home Loans. On XX/XX/XXXX the personal banker at Discover quoted me at {$390.00} without escrow and {$630.00} with escrow for a 30 year fixed rate. Because this was better than my previous home mortage, I signed off on the documents XX/XX/XXXX. 

I called to inquire about escrow documentation needs on XX/XX/XXXX and submitted my insurance documentation in order to set up escrow to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Despite repeated calls on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX where I was assured my escrow documents were received and my escrow was being set up, my payment was XXXX until more than a year later, XX/XX/XXXX, when it was raised to $ XXXX. 

When I called for an explanation about this change on XX/XX/XXXX, I was told that there was property tax deficiency issue in the escrow and my payment needed to be raised for one year to make up the difference, after which it would go " back '' to XXXX. ( My property taxes were {$3400.00} in XXXX and {$3600.00} in XXXX so there was no unexpected change there. ) I was confused but stayed calm and polite on the phone, and was nevertheless hung up on. I have been making XXXX payments that well exceed my planned mortgage budget, on time, every month since then.

Complaint:
I have submitted multiple certified letters with documentation showing that a public record on my credit report should not be on my credit reports. Additionally, I sent letters to the 3rd party company that the credit bureaus state they verified the information with, and the 3rd party company - XXXX- sent me a letter stating that the bankruptcy information listed on my credit reports is unverifiable and has been deleted. The 3 major credit bureaus refuse to delete this bogus information from my credit reports even after sending them the proof stating it should not be there.

Complaint:
The countless times, this is the numerous letters I am writing for the fraudulent accounts that keep on persisting on my credit report and damaging my chances of having a better score and better financial standing. It is confusing that other bureaus were able to conduct exact measurements and were able to determine the fraudulent activity and remove it right away on their report. This shows that you are failing to provide accurate information that violates the FCRA law. 
Cease these accounts in persisting on my credit report. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have already removed this account from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete or unverifiable.

Clearly, there must have been lapses or errors that occurred during the expedition of these accounts as the other bureaus were able to prove that those were purely fraud. It is frustrating that my previous escalation seems to be ignored. I understand that the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) mandates the accuracy and fairness of credit reporting, and I am confident that your bureau will take immediate action to address this matter.

Complaint:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Credit Scoring Practices and Consumer Treatment Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to lodge a formal complaint about the current practices surrounding credit scoring and the treatment of consumers, especially in times of financial hardship. 

Firstly, I have observed and experienced firsthand that credit scores are quick to reflect negative information, resulting in rapid downgrades. In contrast, improvements in one 's financial behavior take an overly slow and inconsistent time to be reflected in their credit score. This asymmetry not only affects consumers ' ability to access credit but also implies a system that is unforgiving and does not adequately reward positive financial behavior.

Secondly, it is concerning that paying off debt, which is inherently a positive financial move, does not seem to be adequately recognized as such within the scoring system. This disincentivizes debt resolution and could potentially trap consumers in a cycle of debt.

Moreover, I believe there is a significant oversight in the lack of facilities or accommodations for individuals who lose their employment. The current system does not provide sufficient support for those who are actively trying to improve their financial situation by bootstrapping or seeking new employment opportunities.

The reliance on unemployment benefits as a means to support individuals during job transition or after redundancy is, in my experience, inefficient and inadequate. The process is often cumbersome, the support is minimal, and it does not align with the dynamic nature of the modern workforce nor the rapid pace of change in the job market.

In light of these concerns, I urge the CFPB to consider the following actions : 1. Review and address the imbalance in credit scoring dynamics to ensure timely recognition of positive financial behavior.

2. Recognize debt repayment more positively in credit scoring metrics.

3. Develop more supportive frameworks for individuals facing unemployment or financial disruption, which facilitate a smoother transition and empower consumers to regain financial stability.

I trust that the CFPB will take this complaint seriously and look into these issues with the aim of making necessary reforms that are fair and beneficial for all consumers.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am willing to provide further information or clarification as needed and look forward to your response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
