Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
I have no association with CreditOne LLC. They have been unlawfully accessing my social security number in order to run hard inquiries on my report.

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

Complaint:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding their violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I recently financed my auto loan with XXXX and have encountered significant discrepancies in the reporting of my payment history to the credit bureaus. 

My car loan was initiated at the end of XXXX, and my first payment was scheduled for XX/XX/2023. However, upon making a payment on XX/XX/2023, covering both XXXX and XXXX, I noticed that there have been no updates about these payments reported to any of the three major credit bureaus. 

This oversight is a clear violation of the FCRA, which mandates that accurate and timely information be reported by lenders to credit bureaus. I am deeply concerned about the potential negative impact this issue may have on my credit score and financial reputation. 

I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with XXXX XXXX XXXX, but regrettably, my efforts have not yielded any positive results. The lack of responsiveness and inaction on their part has led me to escalate this matter to your esteemed agency. 

I kindly request your immediate attention to this issue and the initiation of an investigation into XXXX XXXX XXXX 's non-compliance with the FCRA. I believe that by taking appropriate action, we can rectify the inaccurate reporting and prevent any further harm to my credit standing. 

Thank you for your prompt assistance in resolving this matter. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you require any further information.

Complaint:
It appears that my credit file has been compromised. I was going through my records & noticed many items that do not belong to me.

The disputed items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records.

Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: OR
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: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
Please consider this letter is my formal complaint against LexisNexis who has repeatedly verified the accuracy of Bankruptcy Case XXXX which is appearing on my consumer credit reports. LexisNexis claims that their subscription to Pacer is an acceptable form of verification. 
I have sent certified/return receipt dispute letters to LexisNexis requesting verification of the reported bankruptcy. These dispute letters were received by them on XX/XX/18, XX/XX/18, XX/XX/18, XX/XX/18, and finally to the CEO, XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/18. Upon receiving their response ( to the 3rd letter ) that they once again claimed the bankruptcy was verified I requested, per FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681I ) that  they provide me with a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the disputed information. I informed them that FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 2 ) requires them to contact the furnisher of the information and to provide me with the name, address, and telephone number of each federal bankruptcy court clerk contacted regarding this alleged bankruptcy ; who they referred this dispute to ; and who responded back with the required verification. 
I did not receive a response to this request nor did I receive a response from the CEO, XXXX XXXX, to the letter addressed to him directly, delivered on XX/XX/18. 
In the meantime, I also obtained a letter from the XXXX Florida Bankruptcy Court which clearly stated that they do not provide any information to the credit bureaus. Furthermore : PLEASE NOTE : Bankruptcy Rule 9037 which states that " personal identification information defined as individuals ' Social Security and taxpayer identification numbers, names of minor children, last four digits of financial account numbers, and dates of birth, be redacted from documents filed with the court. '' Therefore, LexisNexis claim that their subscription to PACER was used to obtain verification is not only a violation of FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 2 ) which requires you to notify the party who furnished the disputed information, LexisNexis is also in violation of Section 5 ( a ) of the Federal Trade Commission Act ( FTC Act ) ( 15 USC 45 ) which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices '' by purposely reporting information that they have assumed is verifiable based off circumstance.

I implore your agency to please assist me in having this unverifiable information from a database ( Pacer ) that does not allow access to any personal identification information, removed from reporting on my credit files. LexisNexis practice is highly damaging to my credit and I would be remiss not to request your assistance with this issue.

Thank you for your time and assistance in this extremely important issue.

Consumer complaint received 2018-05-07
Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: NJ
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
My ex-husband had deeded and titled the property to me with the agreement he would be removed from the mortgage and be absolved from all responsibility of the property. Upon making the payment as the sole resident of the property since XX/XX/XXXX, I had then submitted proof to GMAC who was the then mortgage holder that I was the sole person responsible for the mortgage. I was then given an assumption by GMAC removing my ex husband from the mortgage statements, tax statements and credit reporting. I had an adjustable mortgage at the time and had been alarmed by a sudden hike in my mortgage in XX/XX/XXXXand had applied for a loan modification. I also had to submit proof I was the sole owner of the said property and was granted a modification as such. GMAC then sold my loan to OCWEN who had initially been sending my tax and mortgage statements with my name solely on the documents. Then suddenly in XX/XX/XXXX, the same year they had taken over. My ex husbands name had started to reappear on my tax statements and then my mortgage statements again. When I addressed OCWEN about this situation they claimed at first they hadn't received all of the documents related to my account from GMAC and it would take months to receive all documents. I waited for many months which turned into years and tried to revisit the situation again. OCWEN then had a representative send me a letter stating they saw the assumption paperwork but since it had not been completed they placed my ex husbands name back onto my account and also started reporting on his credit again. Since this was a violation of our agreement and court decision in Family Court my ex husband has taken action which a Family Court Judge had threatened sanctions on me if I do not correct this issue within 120 days from XX/XX/XXXX. During that prior court proceeding last year dated XX/XX/XXXX, the judge did decide I had shown sufficient proof I had attempted to do what the agreement claimed. My ex husband has since re married and has a mortgage currently with his current wife.
