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:
I, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, under the penalty of perjury affirm that all forthcoming statements are true. In XXXX of XXXX  I submitted a CFPB complaint against XXXX for reporting unverifiable public record information to my XXXX credit report and file. The unverifiable public record account being reported by XXXX is as listed : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX claims that this public record being reported has permissible purpose because it was verified as accurate by reseller Lexis Nexis as of XX/XX/2022 but Lexis Nexis is saying the complete opposite. Lexis Nexis is saying that the public record is unverifiable at that Lexis Nexis has made the decision to delete and remove the unverifiable public record information as of XX/XX/2022. XXXX claim they investigated this dispute and that it was verified as accurate by Lexis Nexis but there is no way they attempted to investigate the accuracy of the information if LEXIS Nexis is saying that the information is unverifiable. If Lexis Nexis sold this information to XXXX and are now saying they can not verify the information and the XXXX XXXX  XXXX located in XXXX is also saying that they do not verify or validate disputed information, then that means that XXXX has no way of validating this disputed public record information and shall delete the fraudulent account immediately pursuant to Fair Credit Reporting Act subsection 15 USC 1681b. If XXXX refuses to delete this public record account that can not be verified or validated, then I will be forced to pursue remedy by filing a complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX of New Jersey before a competent court of law! XXXX could be liable criminally and civilly for FCRA violations. Delete public record account immediately as it lacks permissible purpose for reporting and also continues to violate my federally protected rights now making me a victim.

Company: Genesis FS Card Services, Inc.
State: WA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Delay in processing application

Complaint:
XX/XX/2023, I received a letter containing a preapproval for a Destiny Mastercard. I went to their website at www.destinycard.com and applied getting approved and receiving an email confirmation stating that I should receive my card in 2 to 3 weeks. 
XX/XX/2023, I called Destiny cards support number asking why I hadn't received the card yet to be told it was returned, so they asked me to confirm my address and they then told me that the address I gave them did not match their system and to confirm my last address which is where the card went even though I never provided them that address at any point other than during this call. The agent then updated my address and said I should receive my card in 10-14 days. 
XX/XX/2023, I call Destiny card again stating that I still had not received my card, which the agent then stated that it was shipped on XX/XX/2023 and should arrive shortly. 
XX/XX/2023, I receive the credit card in the mail and proceed to follow the instructions in the paperwork and the label on the card to activate the card ( attached picture labeled : card_label.jpg ), I am then taken to a webpage ( attached picture labeled : webpage.png ). at this point it is after hours for calling the Destiny cards support. 
XX/XX/2023, I call Destiny cards support number and explain to the agent that I can not activate my card because the webpage the card is telling me to go to does not exist IE the 404 error, the agent the proceeds to tell me that my account has been locked and that I now need to send in a copy of my drivers license to verify my address. At this point I am getting concerned that this may be a scam since they sent the card to an address I never provided, the activation page does not exist, they ignore the fact that the page doesn't exist and now they are asking for a copy of my drivers license. So I then tell them that I am concerned and ask to speak with a supervisor, I am placed on hold for quite a while and then the supervisor then asks me how he can help. I proceed to explain everything up to this point and again he seems to ignore my concern over the missing webpage and reconfirms that I need to send in a copy of my drivers license, I continue to get him to load the same page and he then tells me that the 404 means nothing and to look in the top right corner and click where it says " Get Started ''. For context I have been designing websites for over 20 years, so I know this is not how the page should be. 

So in conclusion I do not believe this company to be legitimate or is very incompetent and should be investigated.

Company: Idaho Housing And Finance Association
State: CT
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I have been having multiple issues with this company and they still refuse to update the false credit reporting. I was under the covid forbearance program and while i also had significant issues with that process, they are refusing to comply with the terms and still reporting the forbeared amount ( {$11000.00} as delinquent ). I have resumed making my payments consistently since XX/XX/XXXX and also in some cases made more than my regular payment amount and they have not been applying the excess amount correctly. 
They have also reported incorrect information in my credit reporting which was reported XX/XX/XXXX. These are all the incorrect information to date : 1. Reporting forbearance from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX ( 17 months ) instead of 9 months ( please note that they should not be reporting this in the first place per CARES ACT ) 2. Reporting XXXX XXXX payment late even though they received payment per transaction report I pulled from their page. This homeloanserv transaction statement showed I pay {$1400.00} monthly and they only apply {$1300.00} which is incorrect. 
3. Month end balance as of XX/XX/XXXX is {$160000.00} and they are showing {$170000.00} 4. They are showing a monthly payment of {$1300.00} on credit report even though my monthly payment is {$1300.00} The number of inconsistencies is mind boggling to say the least. I called again today and spoke to XXXX who was beyond rude and asking me to email their support team even though I have done this on multiple occasions with no response to date. 

This loan servicing company is not complying with regulations and especially not following Section 6 of RESPA as they have refused to respond to any of my written requests. Please see attached the request emailed and sent to them on XX/XX/XXXX
