Complaint:
A while back I lost my wallet with all my personal information inside. I didn't think much of it and just went to get a new social security and DL. I continued with my everyday life and never had an issue. Just a couple of days ago I decided to pull my credit because I continued to get suspicious letters in the mail. I looked at my report and I am shocked with the number of items that were opened on my name. These suspicious items are not mine. Please remove them from my report.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
To whom it may concern This is in regards to XXXX the who will be known as the " original creditor ''. These accounts a riddled with error and mistakes. Keep in mind that these account come from the same original creditor there are several mistake you will see in the documents that i have attached to this complaint Some of the errors or reporting an account with two different loan numbers that originally have two different loan amounts. Reporting no balance when this is one and reporting a {$0.00} balance when there isn't one. Also the High balance is incorrect with All three credit bureaus reporting different amount. Lastly i am apart of a Class Action Law Suite where XXXX has pushed me into a bad loan repayment program and as a result of the pandemic i was unable to maintain payments. 


With all three bureaus reporting different information for the balance, high balance and Account Numbers, I am unsure of which is correct. 

These reports appear to have been generated by the same lender so why is the data reporting inaccurate? As the governing credit bureau it is your responsibility to report consistent and most importantly accurate information.You as the governing bureau have failed to report correct data for other lenders/potential lenders to view and determine me as credit worthy. Our minority based business for XXXX women has taken a hit and funding based on my credit has been greatly hindered because of the inaccuracies, inconsistencies and incorrect data on my report generated by the credit bureaus. 

Despite several written requests, the unverified items of XXXX still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your investigations, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA. 



Please DELETE and REMOVE these erroneous items off of my report immediately. 

Attached you will find a highlighted copy of the above referenced information. 

Thank you

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many accounts which do not belong to me.

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records. Please remove the following accounts as soon as possible : XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$1200.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$8900.00} XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$13000.00} XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : $ XXXX remove the disputed accounts as they were opened without my consent or knowledge, pursuant to Section 605B of Fair Credit Reporting Act. Failure to provide copies of proof of verification or ownership, please remove the accounts immediately. 
ity these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature. If you do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. Please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
In summer XXXX, I contacted my home mortgage servicer, PHH Mortgage regarding my severe financial hardship and was placed on a forbearance program for 3 months that commenced on XX/XX/XXXX. This plan was good for 3 month and was placed on another forbearance thereafter for another 3 months. Upon completion of this 2nd forbearance, I endeavored to commenced the payment, but fell short within couple of months due to XXXX impact and I immediately contacted PHH Mortgage and was placed on another forbearance plan for another 3 months. At this junction, I have not paid my home mortgage loan for more than 10 months and was advised by my relationship manager that the delinquent amount will be place on the back of the loan without interest ( see attached Notification of Payment Deferral from PHH Mortgage ) at the conclusion of the forbearance plan. So, at the end of this forbearance, I have not paid my home mortgage for the 9 months of forbearance plus the couple of months that it took before the forbearance were finalized for a possible total of 11 months minimum. At the completion of the 3rd forbearance, I was advised by my relationship manager that the delinquent amount was no longer going to be set aside to the loan maturity, but rather, I will need to pay the lump sum asap. This has been since XX/XX/XXXX and for all these months, I have been trying vigorously to have the delinquent amount set aside or have the amount set up as a repayment plan for a minimum of 48 months due to my financial circumstances. I have made numerous attempts and still making attempts to reach my relationship manager, but all these attempts has been in vain. Every time I called, Im told to make an appointment to speak to the relationship manager, and these appointments are only once per month and whenever he fails to call me ( just last the last appointment in XXXX ), that will mean another month of non-payment of my home mortgage and it keep piling up and pushing me deeper and deeper into this delinquency. I need this delinquent amount to either be set aside until the loan maturity or the delinquent amount be placed on a repayment plan of a minimum of 48 months ( {$25000.00} / 48 months = {$530.00} per month ) and adding this amount to my regular PITI of {$2800.00} will be {$3300.00} per month. This amount I can 100 % guaranty to pay without any further default.

Complaint:
They are saying I haven't paid my mortgage when in fact they are holding two of my payments now in a " suspense '' status and charging me late fees. 

I paid XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX my XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX payments, but they have not posted them. 

My mortgage payment is usually {$780.00} and I always pay {$800.00}. This year they came up with a formula to include extra padding for escrow with a payment of {$810.00} and I told them I am not paying their extra buffer over and above {$800.00} when I have the option of paying any escrow shortage at the end of the year. They have been giving me trouble ever since and it is affecting my credit. I want them punished because what they are doing is wrong! They need to be fined per the Fair Credit Reporting Act for one!

Dear Barclays, I am writing to bring to your attention the violations of consumer laws and codes that I have experienced with my credit card account. Despite being unable to work due to medical issues, I have been subjected to exorbitant interest rates on my closed credit card account, causing me undue financial hardship. 

As a consumer, I have the right to be protected from predatory lending practices and to receive fair treatment from my credit card issuer. However, your actions have been in violation of these rights and have caused me significant stress and financial difficulty.

Complaint:
Hello, Discover Credit Card closed my account on XX/XX/XXXX. I have been a loyal customer with them since XX/XX/XXXX. 8 YEARS of loyalty. I called the morning of XX/XX/XXXX asking if there was any way to re-open my account since it had not even been 24 hours since they had closed the account. They advised me there was nothing they could do. Told me I could re-apply and I replied back asking how that was going to help me. It is pretty disheartening that a company would treat their loyal customers like this. From forums I have read online, people have been successful re-opening their accounts with Discover. I am hoping that Discover will reconsider and allow me to reinstate my account. 

Thank you.
