Company: PLANET HOME LENDING, LLC
State: IL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
My husband is a XXXX veteran at XXXX XXXX. Due to this XXXX, we qualify as exempt for property taxes in Illinois at XXXX XXXX. This paperwork has been submitted to the mortgage company and has reflected on our payments for the last 6-7 months. 

A new escrow analysis has been performed and the mortgage company is trying to raise our monthly payment from {$670.00} to {$1000.00} due to property taxes. 

I have personally paid the property taxes in full for the year directly with the county, of which I have proof of. The mortgage company has all of this documentation for the exemption and the proof of full escrow payment for the year of 2022. The mortgage company continues to try and raise our payment. I believe this is discrimination against a XXXX veteran. 

I have tried multiple times to rectify this with the mortgage company but for some reason they will not lower the payment where it should be.

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

Complaint:
After reviewing my consumer report, I realize my consumer rights have been violated. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC 1681a Definitions : Rules of Construction ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) States the term consumer report doesnt not include any report containing information solely as to transactions or experience between the consume and the person making the report. Late payments are a form of transactions and utilization is an experience created by credit usage. XXXX is reporting Utilization on multiple accounts. 
LATE PAYMENT ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) XXXX XXXXXXXX 54 % XXXX, XXXX 21 % XXXX, XXXX XXXX 7 % XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX 87 % XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX 17 % XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX 92 % XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 98 % XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 79 % XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 12 % XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX 84 % XXXX  and/ or Utilization is an experience created by credit usage. 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) states any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other, in accordance with the consumer to whom it relates. I never gave XXXX written instructions to report anything to my consumer report, let alone this late payments/utilization. Also, according to 15 USC 1681 602 Congressional findings and statement of purpose states, There is need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. It also states the banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting method undermined the public confidence with is essential to the continues function of the banking system. Nothing about the reporting of these late payments are accurate and my privacy has been violated due to XXXX violated my consumer rights by allowing these late payments/utilization to report to my consumer report!

State: TN
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
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:
This is in reference to case number XXXX. XXXX has completely failed me and I am at a complete loss. I was the victim of identity theft and had a loan taken out fraudulently in my name in 2022. I have submitted all documentation required, including an FTC Identity theft report, police report, ID verification and more. These are sworn affidavits. However, XXXX continues to state that the account was not the result of Identity theft and no further action will be taken. I don't believe that XXXX actually investigated this matter at all. No investigation report was provided to me at all. I would like a copy of this please.When I asked I was simply told that the loan agreement was sent to my mailing address. This a blatant lie as I never received any notice of a loan being opened in my name at that time. No identity verification took place. The person that took out the loan accessed by XXXX account that I already had and signed documents electronically without my consent or knowledge. XXXX failed to properly verify this loan. I was the victim of several other identity thefts at that time and over a period of months. All other institutions handled my identity theft and were on my side. XXXX continues to not be. 

I have been a client of XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX 20 years and you are basically calling me a criminal and a lia. I provided a police report and FTC report certifying that this loan was fraudulent and their response to this was negligent and dismissive. I would like a proper resolution to this issue otherwise I will be forced to consider legal action against XXXX. I will also be reporting this to local media outlets that may be interested to know that XXXX Bank apparently does not follow the FCRA and XXXX XXXX XXXX should support their long time clients who fall victim to Identity theft and remove fraudulent accounts and inquiries from their credit report, rather than treat them like the criminal themselves. I certainly believe its time to reconsider my primary bank moving forward. 

With that being said, I do not wish to destroy my personal credit over this account. Im at a total loss and if I have to pay the account, Ill just have to do it to be done with this nightmare. During the course of this investigation the account has gone into past due by 3 months on my credit report. If I am willing to bring this account back to current with a payment, would XXXX be willing to remove the negative late payment remarks from my credit report? Again, I was a victim here and the account wasnt opened by me, but Im just done fighting with XXXX and the Credit Bureaus at this point and am willing to just move forward if XXXX would be willing to help me out and remove these negative remarks from my credit reports.

Complaint:
You have no rights to report this bankruptcy in my credit report! There are different date file/reported and even the closing dates. This is also a discharge bankruptcy which means fresh start but this is the reason why I can't get a fresh start because of you reporting this bankruptcy! This is absurd! I have the letter from the court that says they don't report this bankruptcy to you and this is from an unauthorized third party!

I have reached out to the credit bureaus and attempted to send certified letters to the US Department of Education. Unfortunately, the letters consistently show as in " transit, '' and I have been unable to confirm delivery.
