Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
HI MIDLAND ; Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Company: LD Holdings Group, LLC
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint:
I filled out an online preapproval application and was contacted by XXXX XXXX. She was very upbeat and positive and after I provided all of the requested information she contacted me to discuss my application. She reviewed my credit report with me over the phone and asked me why with no late payments and a strong length of credit did I have XXXX  boost on my report of 4 bills. I explained I added it when I downloaded the app because the app suggested it. She told me that I should remove the 4 accounts because they were reducing the amount I could pay monthly on a mortgage. She also told me I should take out a new loan to pay of a personal loan on my credit because the personal loan payment was so high ( XXXX but I only had 12 more payments and had chosen the high payment amount to pay it off quicker ). She gave me a preapproval with desk underwriting and actually referred me to my agent who I got along well with. 

We finally got an offer accepted and I paid the appraisal fee, etc. she said the loan was approved and already underwritten. That we were good to remove contingencies. She sent me closing disclosures and I waited for my signing date. As our closing date came and went she said that the loan was approved, underwriters were satisfied, but a system issue was preventing me from signing and that she had all the area managers working on it to figure it out. My agent made an appointment with her XXXX to discuss the issue because the seller had begun charging us a daily fee for not closing. At that time he told her he didnt know why I removed positive trade lines and paid off a two year old loan with perfect payment history for a new loan, but that had affected my credit dramatically and now the desk underwriting was kicking my loan out as high risk. She sent me an email with him saying the same. Luckily I had emails that showed XXXX had actually told me to do this. He worked for a week trying to find a way to close the loan, but in the end I lost the house, my {$8000.00} earnest money deposit, and now have to go out and find someplace to rent with my credit literally in shambles. I cant caution enough to be very careful using this company.

Complaint:
This complaint is about TransUnion & XXXX. I have been contacting them since XX/XX/2021 and have yet to hear a response about my disputes and about them violating my consumer protection laws under the United States code title 15 chapter 41. They are reporting that I owe debt to corporations which is inaccurate. I am the original creditor because only the natural person can extend credit to corporations. So corporations can not say I owe any debt. Being that I am the only one who can verify/validate any debt I DO NOT VALIDATE THE DEBT! XXXX removed the accounts because they know they violated my consumer protection laws under the United States code title 15 chapter 41. 
I demand that TransUnion remove the accounts that I have on my letter and I demand that they do not ignore me!!

Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I was disputing inaccurate items that was placed on my credit file. I have reached out to the credit bureaus numerous of times to have the items removed or corrected. I also had reached out to the creditors to have that account removed. I was told over the phone to reach out to the credit bureaus and ask them to remove the items. The credit bureaus violated my rights because they failed to respond to my disputes. I have sent dozens of letters and I haven't received anything in the mail from the credit bureaus showing that they even open up an investigation. I have checked my credit with different credit monitoring to see if they have started but there wasn't any comments showing that the items was in disputes. I had mailed letters off certified and the tracking shows that they have received the mail. My credit score is continuing to go down because the credit bureaus refuse to maintain the laws of the fair credit reporting act and remove those items off my credit file. This is causing much hardship and pain and suffering. I have had multiple anxiety attacks because I can not get a car nor a good job to support my family because of the multiple inaccurate items that's on my credit file.

The investigation claims to have been completed without fixing the inaccurate information. I contacted XXXX and no investigation was actually completed or verified.
