Complaint:
I have sent my letters to the bureaus. I told them to investigate every piece of information on the accounts i have listed which are XXXX XXXX # XXXX, XXXX XXXX # XXXX, XXXX XXXX # XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX OPENED XXXX XXXX. 

According to the FRCA the term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion therof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information.

They stated my account were verified but how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law. Also every piece of information on these accounts are still not reporting 100 % accurate and according to the FRCA 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % accurate.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
My mortgage was in forbearance status from XX/XX/2020 to XX/XX/2020. My first payment was due XX/XX/2020 ( see attached letter ). I paid the XXXX payment on XX/XX/2020 and the XXXX payment on XX/XX/2020 ( see bank statement ). The late fee is not added until the XXXX of the month. Both payments were made well before this date. I called Fifth Third Bank in XXXX and was told that my account had not been coded as being in repayment and so the XXXX payment was never applied instead it was placed in a holding account. So, a late fee was incorrectly accessed and it made my XXXX payment appear short. Accordingly, no payment was reflected for XXXX or XXXX ( because it was indicated as a partial payment ). I was told in XXXX that the problem created by the bank failing to apply the XXXX payment had been corrected. I was also told that there had been no negative reporting to the credit bureau. I obtained my credit reports and the bank reported a 60 day late mortgage payment in XX/XX/2020 although my payment was never late. The bank created this issue by not applying the XXXX payment. I have been denied credit due to the bank 's negligence. I need this problem corrected immediately.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I have maintained a 100 % perfect payment record of timely, on time payments for over 7 years with XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( XXXX ), based in Florida. 

In XXXX, I learned of a very sick family member who had traveled overseas and ultimately was found to have been afflicted with the XXXX XXXX. 

During the time I was caring for them, on XX/XX/XXXX I closed on my home sale thereby paying off my HELOC with XXXX. 

I recently discovered through my credit report monitoring that XXXX destroyed my FICO score and lowered it by almost 140 points by reporting a single late 30 day payment!! 

This payment related to when I was caring for my deathly ill relative and in the midst of my home closing transition. I called the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX number to politely ask them to remove the adverse credit mark due to these highly extenuating circumstances. 

I then was referred to another office who was responsive but ultimately spoke to the " powers that be '' and said that " since they get audited all the time, they could not make this adjustment for me, unless it was exclusively a bank error. '' Given my 7 year unblemished payment history and that I was involved in caring for a XXXX   victim and was advised improperly that there was no need to make the last payment as it would be adjusted on the final settlement statement when I had called them in XXXX, it is HIGHLY UNSCRUPULOUS AND AN UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICE TO maintain this negative mark on my credit during these troubled times and unfortunate circumstances. 

I am hopeful that you can rectify this matter with XXXX promptly before me taking the next steps and involving the news media as well as the District Attorneys 's office and my local Senator. Thank you in advance for your attention.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint:
I began the loan process on XX/XX/2020. I started out with XXXX XXXX as my loan officer. I had an in depth conversation with her about my circumstances to ensure there would be no issues before formally applying. I applied and things were moving along fine until the week I was suppose to close. I signed disclosures, locked a rate and was approved by the lender. After all of this XXXX disappeared without notice. After calling over and over, I was finally told she no longer worked with the company. Even tho disclosures were signed I was then told they no longer offered the kind of loan ( for self employed people ) that I had applied for. I was a qualified applicant with a binding legal document executed and yet I after asking repeatedly I was given no real concrete answer as to why my loan was all of a sudden not fulfilled. 

Because this originator is a broker they told me they would " flip me to a new lender '' .I was then made to go through the entire underwriting process again. This took another full month. Once again I met the criteria and was approved. Again I was promised I was going to be able to close XX/XX/XXXX XXXX on the XXXX I was told that my loan wouldn't close " because of Covid 19 ''! They said the lender XXXX Mortgage was not funding loans due to the crisis and was not going to do that type of loan anymore. I talked directly with XXXX XXXX  and they said that was false information. I am writing this complaint because I believe I was discriminated against due to being self employed among other factors. I am requesting this lender been fined, their license be taken away and/or my loan be honored, whatever is appropriate in the case of discriminatory lending practices. I have good credit and met income criteria. Just because I am a XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX should not mean I can not get a loan like anyone else who is qualified.

Complaint:
XXXX, Experian and XXXX have consistently violated my federal rights for going on over a year now. It has gotten to the point I have had to hire a lawyer. I have tried to communicate directly with XXXX, Experian and XXXX and show them in writing where they have violated federal law and still they have refused to acknowledge these laws. The federal laws XXXX, Experian and XXXX has chosen to ignore are 15 USC 1681b as well as 15 USC 1692g. I have sent certified letters, I have sent screenshots of the laws they have violated, I have asked for proof which is required according to federal law, and they still have not complied. I advise XXXX, Experian and XXXX to cease and desist collecting and reporting the accounts until they have provided and supplied the full, thorough details surrounding their reasoning for keeping the accounts on my report against my wishes as a consumer. This is not only harming my credit report, it is also harming my chances of owning a home. XXXX, Experian and XXXX should not be allowed to get away with breaking federal law and that is why I am here in hopes that these accounts be removed from my credit report. Once their reinvestigation is complete, I would like for XXXX, Experian and XXXX to mail me a copy of my new and updated credit report pursuant to 15 USC Chapter 41.
