Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, it is stated in 15 USC 1681 section 602 that consumer reporting agencies, such as Transunion, XXXX and XXXX, have a responsibility to exercise fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. As the consumer, I have the right to ensure that my private information is not shared. This is supported by 15 USC 6801, which emphasizes the obligation of financial institutions, including those that furnish information to credit agencies, to respect customer privacy and protect the security of their nonpublic personal information. 

Additionally, 15 USC 1681 section 604 states that consumer reporting agencies may only furnish consumer reports in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer. As the consumer, I have not provided consent for Transunion, XXXX and XXXX or the financial institution that furnishes information to credit agencies to share my information, and they do not have my written consent. Therefore, any previous consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is hereby revoked. 

Moreover, as stated in 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), a financial institution is prohibited from disclosing nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties unless the consumer has been informed of their right to exercise a nondisclosure option. The financial institution did not inform me of this right. Furthermore, according to 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from including certain adverse information in consumer reports, unless authorized under subsection ( b ), which does not apply in this case. Therefore, the reporting of this adverse item without my permission violates the law.

Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) states that no person shall furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if they know or have reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. Transunion, XXXX and XXXX are obligated to maintain reasonable procedures, as stated in 15 U.S. Code 1681e, to avoid violations of section 1681c and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes outlined in section 1681b. It appears that Transunion, XXXX and XXXX are not fulfilling these obligations. 

Lastly, 12 CFR 1016.7 specifies that a consumer has the right to opt out at any time. I hereby exercise my right to opt out of your reporting.

Please take note of my requests and ensure that my private information is not shared or reported without my consent. Thank you.

Complaint:
This account XXXX  in charge-off status on my credit reports that is fraudulent and I have no knowledge of it all. The account was originally opened with XXXX XXXX, who I am filing a claim against as well on XX/XX/XXXX, showing a { {$700.00} } credit limit, with a balance of ( {$0.00} ), and charged of XX/XX/XXXX and updating this information on XX/XX/XXXX after it was charged off.. Making it charged off and updated after the account was sold to XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX per XXXX XXXX. I didn't receive a notice from XXXX at any time. I started cleaning my credit and found that it had already been reported to All credit bureaus. I sent a letter of dispute to XXXX on 3 separate occasions asking for validation, original account level documentation. Every time what I requested was refused but XXXX   would send me a printout of incorrect information.

XXXX XXXX   sold the account XX/XX/XXXX. On my credit report XXXX indicated at 2 credit bureaus that the account was opened XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$990.00} and a high balance of {$990.00} and at one credit bureau the account was opened XX/XX/XXXX with balance and debt {$990.00}.

Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
There are two accounts and some inquiries on my report that after contacting the company and trying to get more information they were unable/refused to give me info to verify the account because whoever set up the account used information that I don't know outside of my personal information so they said i had to file a ftc report XXXX Not sure how its to protect me if I am telling them that I am me and i never set the accounts up. I have attached a copy of the Identity Theft report as well as copy of my ID. The accounts that are fraudulent are as follows : XXXX ( Finance ) inquired on XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX inquired on XXXX XXXX, XXXX ; inquired on XXXX XXXX inquired on XXXX XXXX, XXXX ; XXXX XXXX  XXXX inquired XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XXXX inquired on XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX inquired on XX/XX/XXXX The only thing that makes sense is someone at the lending company misused my info because I was preapproved when i purchased my home so I never gave my info to have them to check for financing. When I called the lender they confirmed they never tried to run my credit because I had a preapproval that covered the cost of the home. 

With that being said, inquiry law that applies here is 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( B ) ( i ) ( 3 ) To credit reporting agency The inquiry was not authorized. 
Did not consent to unauthorized inquiry.

Company: United Shore Financial Services, LLC
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
I currently have a mortgage with XX/XX/XXXX. I am a XXXX  in XXXX County. In XX/XX/XXXX Hurricane Irma struck and we requested a disaster forbearance for our home. XX/XX/XXXX granted the forbearance to the end of XX/XX/XXXX. At the time my mortgage payment was {$2600.00} per month. I had never been late since buying the home in XX/XX/XXXX. They told me at the end of XX/XX/XXXX to call them to set up new terms for the mortgage. I did so and was put on a 3 month "  trial '' period of an increased payment from what I had been paying prior ( {$2600.00} to {$2700.00} ). At all points in this forbearance and modification of the loan have I followed all of their requests without fail. In XX/XX/XXXX they reported to my credit report that I am 60 days delinquent on my payments thus literally destroying my good credit. I have requested with them that they fix the credit report with an explanation the I have been under a forbearance due to disaster and have paid all payments that they have requested. I did so in writing to them and have, as of yet, had anyone correct this on my report. I've been complaining since XX/XX/XXXX ( the very day of the credit reporting ) for them to fix this and was assured they understood and would do so. This has been to no avail. I have lost my good credit, had my credit cards either reduce my credit limits or outright cancelled my credit. On top of this, they now state that I have a " lien '' on my house and they requested I go to the XXXX county records office to " prove '' that this is not the case because I presumably have a " common name '' and they now have the modification of my mortgage on hold. I went to the county records office and found no such " lien '' under my very specific name and faxed them all that was on the county record. 
My grievance is twofold. They are taking advantage of people that suffered through a natural disaster and misreporting this to the credit bureaus that I am late on payments when I have followed to the letter what they have requested. I want my credit report accurately reflected as what has really happened. Also, the underwriters appear to be playing a game stating I have a lien on my property that does not exist just to stall on the final arrangements for the mortgage payments from this time forward. I want them to quickly resolve these problems as soon as possible. No more stalling, no more games, no more requests to run 20 miles to the county courthouse to find non-existing liens on my home or in my name. 
I researched the XXXX XXXX XXXX web site for complaints against XX/XX/XXXX and found two other complaints from Hurricane Irma victims that are similar to mine. The company needs to be held accountable for their misdeeds against the victims of natural disasters and do what is appropriate.

Company: BSI Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: AZ
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
BSI changed our payment amount by about {$1.00}. We have been sending in the amount we knew we were supposed to send in through our bank by an automatic payment. This has been happening since XXXX and we didn't know because they had our wrong address on file, so we were never notified. In XXXX they decided to stop doing it that way and just held our payment and reported us late. Then they did it again for XXXX. We received a phone call from BSI as we were in the middle of buying another house for my mom who is getting out of an abusive relationship, and the person said just add 3 dollars to your next payment and everything will be okay, there won't be any lates or anything. My wife fixed the payment so that it would be correct and we were clear to close on the home for my mom, then these reports came out and destroyed our plans. Our credit is messed up and we have been calling for 2 and a half weeks and can't seem to get through to anyone who can help. The customer care won't put us through to supervisors and the one we finally did get through to will not call us back. This was all because they had our address wrong and didn't send notification that the payment had changed and stopped pulling the extra {$1.00} from escrow. Please help us.

Complaint:
I tried checking my credit score because I've haven't used my credit for over 8 years and I wanted to see where I stand. When I obtained my credit reports from two credit reporting agencies I noticed that the addresses, phone numbers and date of birth was wrong and the work places. The third report said it couldn't give me no info because the person was deceased. That's when i knew the credit reporting agencies didn't have the accurate information on my consumer report making me continuously get denials from borrowers.

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

Complaint:
I sent in a dispute for accounts that do not belong to me! I sent this letter to the bureaus over 30 days ago!! 

I began trying to obtain a home for my family and was denied due to erroneous information present on my credit reports. Since I noticed the incorrect information and accounts I got in contact with all the bureaus, which they then told me to submit my disputes through writing. I have been spending my time and money to submit these disputes to the bureaus and yet they do not provide me with any proof of ownership on ANY of the disputed accounts. I feel TARGETED and ATTACKED by these bureaus that are suppose to help consumers! 

The bureaus XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion are also blatantly breaking the law by taking over 30 days to investigate my dispute and by reflecting accounts on my credit report that are inaccurate and inconsistent. They are in direct violation of FCRA 605!! And the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681g! 

The accounts I disputed are showing inaccurate Last Active Date, Payment History, high limit amount, date opened, payment history are all NOT reporting the same across all bureaus and this is NOT Metro 2 complaint, a regulation that all bureaus NEED to follow. 

I beg you please help me correct these issues because it is truly unfair that I am not able to obtain a home for my family like others can. I am starting to feel that because I am XXXX American I am being targeted and not being allowed to progress because they are placing these inaccurate accounts on my consumer report!!
