Company: RUSHMORE LOAN MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC
State: VA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
The original complaint, XXXX, sought from Rushmore evidence the borrowers XXXX credit score was below 720 on XX/XX/2020. Rushmore replied on XX/XX/2020, and stated the following : - " On XX/XX/2020, Rushmore completed an assessment and the Credit Score obtained was XXXX. '' - " our servicing system is designed to pull credit scores each quarter from a third party company, XXXX. '' Rushmore is playing fast and loose with definition of " credit score '' in its XX/XX/2020 letter and " XXXX '' credit score in the XX/XX/2020 letter sent to the borrower by recklessly and casually interchanging the two. Interchanging " credit score and " XXXX '' credit score makes the Rushmore XX/XX/2020 letter false and misleading given the following evidence : - On XX/XX/2020 Rushmore provided to the borrower and CFPB a credit score and not the borrowers XXXX credit score as requested in the  original complaint XXXX. Rushmore said it made its decision to suspend the borrower 's HELOC on the XXXX score obtained on XX/XX/2020 - XXXX nor XXXX credit reporting agencies have no record of XXXX or Rushmore inquiry into the borrowers credit profile. In fact the only evidence of an inquiry by Rushmore into the borrowers credit profile was recorded on XX/XX/2020 by XXXX 
- Rushmore purportes the borrower credit score increased by 35 points between XX/XX/2020 and XX/XX/2020. In fact, the borrowers XXXX credit score on XX/XX/2020 was XXXX, the date the borrower received notice of the HELOC retroactive suspension. More importantly, the borrower XXXX  credit score remained unchanged between XX/XX/2020 to XX/XX/2020, at XXXX, when Rushmore conducted its supposed second inquiry into the borrower 's credit profile. 
- Last, the borrower credit profile did not change materially between XX/XX/2020 and XX/XX/2020. The borrower had no ( a ) late payments ( b ) missed payments ( c ) charge off ( d ) collections ( e ) garnishments or ( g ) or bankruptcy.

Rushmore is again asked to provide evidence from its third party vendor XXXX to support Rushmore claim that the borrowers XXXX credit score was XXXX on XX/XX/2020.

State: NC

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I have noticed that XXXX XXXX have placed an inquiry on my XXXX  and Equifax credit file dated XX/XX/2018. When i was aware of this i contacted both Credit Bureaus and was told by the fraud team they cant dispute unauthorized hard inquiry 's. 

As you probably know, Credit Reporting Agencies treat inquiries as a statement of fact and will not allow a consumer to dispute them. Since it is against federal law ( Fair Credit Reporting Act -- 15 USC? 1681b ) for an entity to view a consumer 's credit report without a " permissible purpose, '' I am writing to inquire as to your alleged purpose, for doing so since I did not apply for employment with your organization nor did I request credit from your organization. 

Both Equifax and XXXX  report that you pulled a hard inquiry. 


Based on the evidence in my possession, this inquiry was performed under false pretenses as described in the clear language of the law. 15 USC? 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B )  states, in part, " in the case of liability of a natural person for obtaining a consumer report under false pretenses or knowingly without a permissible purpose, actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure are {$1000.00}, whichever is greater ; '' You are civilly liable to me in the amount of {$1000.00} for your willful violation of the law -- performing a " hard inquiry '' on my Equifax and XXXX   file without my permission. I do hope that we can settle this matter amicably. 

You can remove the inquiry within one ( 1 ) business day of the receipt of this notice. Or, we can meet in court where you will end up removing the inquiry, paying me the civil liability fine, punitive damages for my score drop, plus court and attorney fees.

Complaint:
This complaint is addressed to EQUIFAX. I wrote to them about the errors in my report, including dates of last activity, dates opened, dates reported, and payment status. They claimed to have conducted a thorough investigation, despite the fact that it took them more than 30 days to finish it. However, when I reviewed my report, I found that nothing had changed. The false information is still being reported. My rights have been violated numerous times. 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States that I have the right to privacy. 15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A Section 2. It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instruction.

Complaint:
On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as aid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand the pese negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.
