Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Other transaction problem

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018, I walk into the money services, MoneyGram section to send money to a unknown person. I spoke with the MoneyGram agent to send money to someone I didn't know. I explain that I am waiting for a package to be sent and didn't want anyone receiving the funds until I release them. The agent told me that they would need the reference number that was printed out on my receipt. And by no means do I give up the reference number until my transaction was completed. She guarantee this would be the only way to receive funds sent. And this would be my way of securing my money. I was confident and this was the reason I choose MoneyGram. After 2 days of waiting for my package and to no delivery, I decided to go back to Walmart and get my money from MoneyGram. Went back to the same MoneyGram and had the same person that waited on me with my a original receipt. I handed her my receipt and she looked up my reference number for my refund. After a few minutes, she said someone received the money. I said hold could that happen when I didn't give anyone my reference number but you. I had my receipt with me at all times. She said I needed to call MoneyGram about this. I told her you guarantee me a secure refund if I secure my reference number, and I did. Be aware that MoneyGram will give your money away if the person you don't know has your mailing address and there Driver License. 
Even though you are told that the only way someone can receive your sent money through " MoneyGram '' is by using the reference number. That is a lie!!!!!!!!! I spoke with the 2 XXXX  store Manager about this and all I got was, they will talk to the 2 MoneyGram agent. I was guarantee a secure way to release my funds in the beginning, but in the end I was taken for a ride by XXXX MoneyGrams unsecure practices. Do not count on a secure way to send money, and to have full control of releasing your fund by relying on a reference number. Huh The moneygram agent didn't even get my address right on the receipt.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint:
I received my letter of pre-approval from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. After putting offers in on XXXX different home and losing out to cash buyers, in XX/XX/XXXX my realtor suggested I try new home construction. My realtor informed me that lower did not do loans for new home construction and I applied through the builders preferred lender and was approved. I received a call from the lender at lower stating that they could do the loan. So I choose lower over the preferred lender. The process continued on smoothly up until the evening before close XX/XX/XXXX. I received a call from the lender about a loan that was paid off back in XXXX that was still showing up on my credit report and my ex-husbands credit card where I am an authorized user. I contacted the bank they sent a letter stating that the loans were paid off in XXXX and I have no active accounts with them. I asked my ex-husband to pay off his credit card and he obliged and sent in the receipt of payment. I received another call saying that because it is stated in the divorce decree that I could have the home even though it is completely unlivable because it flooded out during the winter storm of XXXX of XXXX and I told my ex-husband he could keep it. He is also on the deed, the title and the mortgage. I have never taken ownership of the home nor do I plan to. After I explained this to lower they refused to accept it. What they did choose to accept is that because my ex-husband did not start paying child support until XX/XX/XXXX that they could not use that as income bringing my dti down. They stated it was not stabled enough to count even though it is in the divorce decree that he has to legally pay child support and even after my ex-husband gifted XXXX in back child support and he gifted XXXX of that to the title company as good faith they stated they still could not use it. My issue with all of this is it was done on the day of close leaving little to no option for me to do anything else.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute inquiries on my credit report that were made without a permissible purpose. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), a credit bureau may only provide information about an individual 's credit report to individuals or entities with a permissible purpose, such as lenders, employers, or insurers, among others. 

I have reason to believe that the inquiries on my credit report were made without a permissible purpose, as the individuals or entities that requested the information did not have a legitimate reason to do so. This is a violation of my rights under the FCRA, and I am requesting that the inquiries be removed from my credit report immediately. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I would like to remind you that as a credit bureau XXXX you have a legal obligation to ensure that the information in my credit report is accurate and up-to-date. If the inquiries were made without a permissible purpose, they are not accurate and should be removed. 

Furthermore, I would like to request a complete copy of my credit report, including all inquiries made within the past year. I believe that this will help me identify any other instances where my credit report was accessed without a permissible purpose. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

Complaint:
Originally applied for {$5000.00} was approved for {$900.00}. At that time we thought paying {$6000.00} for a {$900.00} loan was insane. So my wife and i decided against it. That was roughly around XX/XX/2019. XXXX XX/XX/2019 we decided to go through with the loan. My wife submitted the application was approved for the {$900.00} provided all information ssid banking etc and after they provided the payment breakdown she e signed the contract. Then they said she had to call a number to finish the process. During this call they re collected all her information then after a few minutes informed her she was now only being approved for {$270.00}. With the exact same payments and cycle as for the {$900.00}. When my wife challenged this discrepancy XXXX the supervisor hung up on her. So now they have all our banking information and personal information.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Washington, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 Subject : Dispute of Late Payments on Credit Report and inaccurate information. 

Dear [ CFPB ] I am writing to dispute the late payments listed on my credit report for XXXXXXXX XXXX account number- XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX account number XXXX. I have reviewed the information provided in my credit report, and I believe that these late payment entries are inaccurate and unjustly impacting my creditworthiness. 

You are in direct violation of the fair credit reporting act. I firmly believe that you will find these late payment entries to be incorrect.

15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 ( a ). Clearly states that I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 ( a ) section 2. It also states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

15 U.S.C 1666 ( b ) A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under a open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose.

Remove these late payments and update these accounts immediately as you are in direct violation of several laws under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ].

I trust that you will handle this matter promptly and with the utmost care. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Failure to address this dispute adequately within the prescribed timeframe will leave me no choice but to seek legal assistance and file a complaint with the appropriate regulatory bodies, as provided by the FCRA. 

Thank you for your assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
