Complaint:
Experian has violated my privacy rights by furnishing a consumer report in which I gave them no written authority to do so. They have shared this information with other which is also a federal violation. 

Pursuant to 15 US Code 1681b ( 2 ), a consumer reporting agency can only report with written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. The CFPB states that identity theft is when someone uses any identifying information without authorization.

On XX/XX/2019, logged into my online account and noticed my dispute amount had been re-applied to my account. I went to my documents online to see what merchant 's response to my dispute was, and was unable to download the documents because they are provided in an unsupported format. I chatted with credit card company, Citibank, asking that these documents be sent to me either via mail or email. Representative advised they would be emailed within 24-48 hours. Had not received by this time, so again chatted on XX/XX/2019, inquiring and informing docs not yet received. Representative said wait longer. When inquiring about the XX/XX/XXXX deadline for me to submit rebuttal, rep was dismissive and asked me to call.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Initial mortgage was taken out XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of XXXX. We have been making timely payments since that date. Our servicer has changed from Conseco, to XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and finally to Shellpoint. During this process we did go through a deferment for 5 months from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. Once completed we paid ourselves current. 
I contacted Shellpoint for documents pertaining to our deferment, however ; Shellpoint insists they do not have any records of a deferment ( the deferment shows on the statement ) or the payment of brining the mortgage current. We still got nothing from Shellpoint, they keep telling us they will send but we have not received, and it has been > 6 months. 
I contacted Shellpoint regarding the amortization schedule, they said they did not have that either. According to a Mortgage professional, when we went to refinance the home, she didn't understand 2 things. 
XXXX why after XXXX of payment on $ XXXX we still owed $ XXXX and XXXX. Why the amount of interest being paid each month fluctuations greatly. Just last month the interest payment was XXXX. This is after paying for XXXX. 
My Mortgage analyst shows that we should be somewhere between $ XXXX $ XXXX. XXXX as of XX/XX/XXXX XXXX

Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
Recently discovered that I've been charged for card security program on my Care Credit card ever since opening the account in 2016. I never purchase card security on my accounts. The company states they would not have added it without a verbal or written request. But when I first opened this account it was at a dentist office when I was scheduled to have some expensive dental work done, they offered to do financing for me. They advised me of the payment terms, so many months without interest to pay and I agreed. I didn't even realize until later that they had set me up with an actual credit card, I thought it was just financing through their office. Anyway, I set up my account online with Care Credit website & made my payments. I have since used the card many times for other services. I always log in to the website, where I see the balance, recent transactions, payment owed, & option to make my payment. I never had any reason to even look at my actual printed statements until recently when I was trying to figure out the date of a past purchase. When I looked at the actual statement from several months ago I was shocked to see {$15.00} charge for card security. Checked all my statements from past year & found out I've been charged every month. When I called to complain they cancelled it, but would only refund last few months. I've been paying this for 5 years without even knowing. I DID NOT Agree to this! I feel like I was tricked into this & by signing up for e-statements just made it even easier for them to hide this charge. It's so easy to just log in and see recent transactions & make a payment you don't see any need to look at the statement, but that is the only place you will see the transaction for purchasing card security! It does not show up on the " recent transactions '' summary they show you on the website.

A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a complaint to CFPB regarding Transunion 's inability to provide me ( the consumer ) with the method of verification used to verify an erroneous bankruptcy on my credit report. The complaint was filed because after attempts on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, Transunion failed to provide me any information on how this information was verified or who would've furnished this false information to them. They merely stated it was verified and this has remained on my credit report without explanation. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Transunion responded to the XX/XX/XXXX CFPB complaint stating that they would get back to me in 30 days to inform me of how they planned to resolve this issue and/or provide me with their method of verification used. It is now XX/XX/XXXX, past 30 days, and I still have no answer as to how this erroneous information ended up on my credit report. 

At this point, this erroneous and unverified information needs to be deleted from my credit report immediately.
