Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
This is a follow up to my complaint submitted to the FTC in XXXX. Somehow this was forwarded to the CFPB for review under Complaint ID XXXX. I was supposed t receive a result on this within 15-60 days from the date XX/XX/2020 as per the letter received USPS, however I received nothing. Upon further review and closer examination, I noticed that my name was misspelled as " XXXX XXXX '' although this complaint along with three other submitted to the FTC that same day against all three credit bureaus and the company XXXX was written by me and submitted correctly under my name " XXXX XXXX AKA XXXX XXXX '' so I can not understand how this error could have been made on four letters received from the CFPB. Furthermore when I queried the complaint ID in the system I found no information. I am resubmitting this and would like an investigation to be conducted on each bureau for their practices. See my original letter below with additions. 

RE : CREDIT COMPLAINT LETTER To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to file a complaint against TRANSUNION Despite my attempts to dispute several items they are reporting erroneously on my credit report, they continue to violate my rights by allowing these incorrect items to remain, have not provided the proof I have requested, and instead they blatantly ignore any of my requests. I have also made a separate complaint with the FTC and with CFPB regarding the inaccurate reporting accounts ( XXXX ) which has been logged under XXXX. Transunion has allegedly reinvestigated my claims although the dispute results have absolutely NO CHANGES. They have a responsibility to do so and it is their responsibility to maintain the accuracy of consumer credit reports. Additionally they have been inserting INCORRECT INFORMATION and stating that I requested this info be inserted or " updated ''. Why would i request that incorrect information be put on my own credit report? 

Over the past several months, I have tried to resolve this issue, but to no avail. They have failed to supply me with my annual credit report which I am entitled to for free. I have made two requests and they continue to BLATANTLY IGNORE ME. In addition to this, They have me listed as XXXX XXXX, when that IS NOT MY NAME. I am XXXX XXXX. For some reason they refuse to correct or acknowledge me by this name despite the fact that they have proof and know exactly who I am. I am requesting your assistance in putting an end to this matter. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at the address listed below. Thank you for your assistance. I am attaching some of the correspondence sent via US certified mail.

Company: United Shore Financial Services, LLC
State: MI
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
We purchased our house in XX/XX/XXXX. We have been using United wholesale mortgage for that purchase. Since that time they have not been able to correctly process any of our mortgage payments. Originally we tried paying our mortgage by monthly so that we could have the advantage of having a 13th payment each year. Instead of 12 traditional months. However the company could not process by monthly payments. Every month they would tell us that we had defaulted every month they would send us collection letters even though we were paying before our payment date and paying every two weeks. So back in in XX/XX/XXXX we switched back to full mortgage payments hoping it would alleviate the problem. We just received another letter saying we are again in default and that they have not been able to apply our last two full months payments. XXXX bank has records that we make our payments on time electronically every month. However it appears that United wholesale mortgage can not account properly for monies received. Furthermore we do not trust that we are getting the credit towards our actual loan amount that we deserve for all the extra payments we have been making. there are countless reversals in our account and a third account named unapplied funds which our payments somehow kept getting put into. We would appreciate any help in trying to remedy this issue as we do not trust this mortgage company and we do not know how to have them audited to ensure that they are applying the funds that we pay on time every month to our mortgage. We have never missed a payment. In fact we should be at least one month ahead.

Complaint:
I made telephone contact ( XXXX ) with DeptED/Nelnet to stop reporting incorrect information to all three credit bureau. The date of the last activity is incorrect. They are no longer the loan servicer for my student loans. I spoke with ( XXXX-agent Id XXXX ) and she informed me that Nelnet does not report information after seven years. She explained that no XXXX balance on all accounts. She further asserts this should not be reporting on my credit report and they have not sent any information to the credit bureaus. She told me to send a copy of my credit report to verify what is exactly being report so they can see and make a dispute. XXXX I clearly do not understand why XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX. The following loans are out of date : 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. XXXX When reaching out to all credit bureaus XXXX XXXX, and XXXX  all verify the information is correct. These loan amount all affect my debt to income ratio. I do not have any student loans with the Department of Education/Nelnet. This company is not a loan servicer. The information should be completely removed from all of my credit reports and they have cost me Loan opportunities DECLINED for home loans due to the debt to income ratio is too high. According, to the Consumer Protection Fair Credit Report all information on all three credit bureaus, must be reported correctly with the same date of last activity, balance amounts, correct address information, and correct date of birth, correct year of birth, and correct address. When calling into Department of Education/NELNET they did not have my correct address, they did not have my correct telephone number, they did not have correct current information. I am going to take my concerns to Court to enforce my rights as a consumer. I have written at least five letters since XX/XX/2020 trying to correct this information.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I mailed certified letters in XXXX and in XXXX of 2023 to all XXXX credit bureaus to update or remove inaccurate information off my credit report. The creditors just verified the accounts. Law requires that they report accurate information on my credit report. The information is not accurate at all. They are reporting different information on different credit bureaus, and not updating or deleting the inaccurate information. It is so frustrating how they can just say the account is verified and not fix the errors all on my credit report. I feel like the credit bureaus are teamed with the creditors on my account and just hoping that I will go away and forget about the errors. I was told that I can come to you ( CFPB ) to get the credit bureaus to do what is right in this situation.

Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
To whom it may concern, After filing my first complaint with PRA through mail, experian, and the CFPB I still havent been able to resolve the issue of proving this debt belongs to me. In their last response to my complaint they said the mailed me letters in the mail that saying a deb that does not belong to me has been sold to them. I never recieved it. They replied that this debt is mine by listing an adress which incorrect and it is no where on my credit report stating that this address is accurate.They also said it is the responbility of XXXX XXXX  on what they reported to them. I contacted XXXX XXXX  as I have two credit cards with them curently active and in good standing. They have no records of these accounts, further more they have a strict policy that if I were in collections with a past card of theirs I would not be able to obtain new cards and even credit increases. This is further proof that this debt does not belong to me. After asking PRA to provide proof which should be easy to do if the debt is mine they told me they are not legally required to do so. They only inform of an incorrect address from XXXX  years ago and say that this debt is mine. They have not provided me witha contract that I have signed which bonds me to any form of angreement. They have only sent a screenshot with my last 4 of my social as well as an inaccurate address from a town I used to live in but it was not my accurate address which I explained in my letters i mailed to them. They have sent me over 30 letters stating I have a right to ask for proof that a debt iis mine but has not sent me the proof.
