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:
My mother XXXX XXXX and I, XXXX XXXX were on a loan that was done in XXXX. My mother filed bankruptcy in XXXX and the first loan which was XXXX XXXX XXXX and second loan which was XXXX XXXX XXXX were discharged. XXXX XXXX, which eventually took over the loan for XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, started a Notice of XXXX in XXXX and did not foreclose on the home. They transferred the loan to the second mortgage company which was XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX then gave another Notice of Default in XXXX.

There negligence in responding with counter offers after 30 days was a reason some buyers rescinded other offers also. After researching and hiring a private investigative auditor, they found fraudulent items and all of this led to a wrongful foreclosure. Also on my XXXX Tax Return, it showed XXXX XXXX XXXX 's XXXX showed my Outstanding Principal Balance is {$0.00}. My credit history was outstanding with scores that ranged from XXXX and higher and it should be back near those same scores.

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

Complaint:
Equifax did not get my written permission to furnish any of the unauthorized accounts or inquiries that's in the letters attached to this complaint. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681b2 ... a consumer reporting agency can only report in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I consider this to be identity theft and the CFPB states that identity theft is when someone uses your name, number, date of birth, or other identifying information without your permission. I did not give any consumer reporting agency Authority to report any of the items listed in my attachment. Furthermore Equifax continuously fail to properly investigate disputed accounts, collections, and inquiries in accordance with15 USC 1681a e. 

Furthermore, as proof of the violations of my rights, The Privacy Act prohibits the disclosure of a record about an individual from a system of records absent the written consent of the individual, unless the disclosure is pursuant to one of twelve statutory exceptions. These are the 12 exceptions : Need to Know within Agency, Required FOIA Disclosure, Routine Uses, - Bureau of the Census, Statistical Research, National Archives, Law Enforcement Request, Health or Safety of an Individual, Congress, Government Accountability Office, Court Order, Debt Collection Act.

None of these would apply to me because none of the lawfully procedures were taken to validate these alleged accounts and inquiries. I ( the consumer ) have never validated any of the item listed in my attachment. 

The Debt Collection Act states No agency shall disclose any record which is contained in a system of recordsexcept pursuant to a written request by, or with the prior written consent of, the individual to whom the record pertains, unless the disclosure would be to a consumer reporting agency in accordance with section 3711 ( e ) of Title 31. 5 U.S.C. 552a ( b ) ( 12 ). It also goes on to say It authorizes agencies to disclose bad-debt information to credit bureaus. 31 U.S.C. 3711 ( e ) ( 9 ) ( F ). Before doing so, however, agencies must complete a series of due process steps designed to validate the debt and to offer the individual an opportunity to repay it. None of the lawfully procedures were taken to validate these alleged accounts and inquiries.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: LA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
You don't have a category for the mortgage company Fifth Third Bank failing to pay me. I received a check from my insurance company for hurricane repairs that I sent by overnight at a cost of approx {$30.00} to the company to coendorse. No check was returned to me. Per a Fifth Third Loss Draft Supervisor 's instructions I had the insurance company cancel the check and resend. He refused to refund me the expediting fee I paid. He told me I should have it cancelled and get a new one then sent me, and if I wanted I could include a prepaid overnight envelope. I did all of that, which means paying another approximately {$60.00} in expediting fees. I overnighted the second check XX/XX/XXXX and included an envelope to overnight the coendorsed check back to me. As of XX/XX/XXXX mail delivery the company has not overnighted the coendorsed check back to me. XXXX confirmed that they received it on XX/XX/XXXX. I have already paid the XXXX to start the work, which commenced XXXX. They work is done today and the XXXX needs to be paid. I opened a complaint with Fifth Third and they put the complaint on check one which was not the one I put the complaint on. The person they put on the investigation is on vacation until XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I called the number to talk to someone in her absence at the office of the president. That person, XXXX, was unhelpful and didn't seem to even be listening to the details. She transferred me to the loss draft department and didn't even stay on the phone to learn what they had to say about the check, indicating that she is not actually investigating this. XXXX at the Loss Draft Department could not tell me when the check was mailed exactly or when it will be received. She did say that they used my postage. ( Note check # XXXX has never been received anywhere and all I have to go on that they mailed it is their word, which seems unreliable. I suspect that they never even mailed that first check at all. It didn't show up late. It has showed up never. )

Complaint:
RE : Membership ID # XXXX Case Numbers : XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX I am writing regarding incorrect and unsubstantiated information on my Experian credit report. I have made multiple phone calls and 3 disputes with Experian regarding the incorrect information, with no success. The information is from XX/XX/XXXX and is from XXXX, which appears incorrectly on my credit report as XXXX. As I have stated in multiple phone calls with Experian representatives, XXXX is no longer in business ; the company no longer exists. It was absorbed by XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I have had great difficulty getting this information across. Because Ive had no success with Experian in resolving this issue, Ive also been in contact with XXXX XXXX ( who no longer holds my mortgage ) to get this resolved. XXXX XXXX has kindly provided a letter requesting that this information be removed from my credit report, as they have no proof of its accuracy. They have provided the letter to you, although your representatives are unable to find it. Therefore, I am submitting the request letter by registered mail; please see the attached copy. Additionally, I received an Experian Alert email on the morning of XX/XX/XXXX stating that my credit score had increased by XXXX points, from XXXX to XXXX ; approximately 12 hours later, I received an alert stating that it had dropped XXXX points, back to XXXX. I am quite perplexed by this. The other two credit reporting bureaus, XXXX and XXXX, report my score as XXXX ; they also do not list the reported late payment from XXXX. I can only assume that this information has caused my Experian score to drop tremendously, which of course affects my credit rating and financial health. 

I would truly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter and having the incorrect information removed from my Experian credit report. 


Thank you, XXXX XXXX The preceding letter was sent by certified mail, along with the letter from XXXX XXXX requesting this late payment be removed from my credit report. The letter has been sitting at the post office in XXXX, TX for 3 days and has not been picked up.
