Complaint:
****SEE ATTACHMENT PLEASE***** Dear CRA Manager ; Happy XX/XX/XXXX! Im little shocked on your method of investigation actually I dont even understand your method of investigation. Ive disputed this account several times due to several inconsistencies, errors, incomplete and misleading information on the way its reporting, but for some reason it always comes back as VERIFIED. Its impossible that your agency performed a truthful investigation into this XXXX CC Account because it continues to report those misleading information highlighted below. For example, XXXX  actually removed it due to those violations, but you continue to reported 2 different dates of last active ; last payment, different date last reported, and high balance should be higher than the actual balance, etc. Its impossible that you can say that this is reporting accurate! Look at the report, and even the balance is questionable.

Complaint:
Hello, I submitted an application with Cardinal Financial with their loss mitigation department for forbearance back in XXXX of XXXX. I had lost a business in XXXX and my job as a XXXX XXXX lost all overtime and bonus income due to the market conditions. I provided everything they asked for. In XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Cardinal financial did nothing from XXXX until XXXX even though I provided all documents. In XXXX they wanted me to re-send EVERTYIHING I had already sent them. Again, black hole they continued to ask for same documents I had provided them. I called them almost daily, asked to talk to supervisors and nothing. No one called me back and when I called and asked to talk to a supervisor, they would say oh they are finishing a call and will call you back. To date not one supervisor has had the curtesy since XXXX, and we are now in XXXX to call me back. I also told them email is my preferred method of communication I have not received ONE email from them. I was told from someone in the loss mitigation department that there would not be any reporting of late payments when I had an open application well they did. This had directly affected my new employment stopping me to be successful as I am working to become a loan officer but because they are reporting that I will only get 12 states out of 59. They also sent a loan modification dated XX/XX/XXXX out to me for a XXXX plan ( I am XXXX yrs. old and have a XXXX XXXX mortgage ) predatory and I NEVER ASKED for a loan modification. Since I received that documentation, I have phoned them 10 times no one either picks up the phone can answer my questions or tell me what any status is, but this is what I have experienced since XXXX of XXXX. I am filing this complaint and want them to be held accountable and they need to pay a fine to me as they are in violation.
