State: FL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
XX/XX/2021, I tried applying for a pre-approval letter to obtain a mortgage and when my credit report was pulled, it showed an arrear of inconsistencies from the 3 credit bureaus. While auditing my credit report, it showed an inquiry from XXXX, I never contacted or contracted with this company. I contacted XXXX by phone and letter. This is very frustrating and embarrassing, I tried challenging that they committed identity theft, Accuracy and Integrity but to no avail. My credit score has taking a a drastic hit to the negative, which is now affecting my credit score and worthiness. Now I'm losing out on deals that I was promised. They never supplied sufficient information to me in order to validate the debt, I feel violated because I do not know how they came about my credit and they won't let me know how they came about it. I do not agree with their actions. 12 CFR 1022.3 ( h ) Identity theft means a fraud committed or attempted using the identifying information of another person without authority.12 CFR 1022.41 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) Accuracy means that information that a furnisher provides to a consumer reporting agency about an account or other relationship with the consumer correctly : ( 1 ) Reflects the terms of and liability for the account or other relationship ; ( 2 ) Reflects the consumer 's performance and other conduct with respect to the account or other relationship ; and ( 3 ) Identifies the appropriate consumer. 
12 CFR 1022.41 ( d ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( i ) Integrity means that information that a furnisher provides to a consumer reporting agency about an account or other relationship with the consumer : ( 1 ) Is substantiated by the furnisher 's records at the time it is furnished ; ( 2 ) Is furnished in a form and manner that is designed to minimize the likelihood that the information may be incorrectly reflected in a consumer report ; and ( 3 ) Includes the information in the furnisher 's possession about the account or other relationship that the Bureau has : ( i ) Determined that the absence of which would likely be materially misleading in evaluating a consumer 's creditworthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living ; and

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: NY
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
Freedom mortgage has misrepresented my account balance on my credit report, freedom mortgage has not updated my credit report with a paid in full and account closed status by the closing of the statement cycle for XX/XX/2020. Payment was made on XX/XX/2020. Previously, freedom mortgage inherited my account from a lender ( NJ Lender ) that paid me restitution for unethical practices during the origination of my loan. During my loan history, freedom mortgage charged me a total of {$3400.00} in miscellaneous fees for 'property inspection ' while I was applying for a forebearance and hardship deferment during the COVID pandemic ( XX/XX/2020 to present ). Also during this time the company referred my account to a third party called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, who charged me an additional {$3100.00} in fees for " foreclosure fees ''. The {$3400.00} plus {$3100.00} totaling {$6500.00} was added onto my principal balance without a detailed description of each of the fees. This added {$6500.00} increased my payoff by $ XXXX or more between the months of XX/XX/2020 and XX/XX/2020. During this time I was advised that Freedom mortgage is a defendant in a class action suit in the State of NJ for unethically charging consumers property inspection and miscellaneous fees on their mortgage account. Which supports my claim above. From start to end, I have experienced unethical business practices by Freedom mortgage and its predecessors. As well as other mortgage consumers nationally.

Company: Midwest Loan Services, Inc.
State: MN
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I have loans on 2 separate homes that were being serviced by XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX still retains the loans but sold the servicing to Midwest Loan Services. The servicing transferred in XXXX of XXXX and that is when the issues started. The original letter was almost like they were going to find a way to get you to pay late. ( I have zero late payments on many, many loans over the last decade ) The letter instructed you on how to mail in a check for payment. ( I don't use paper checks anymore ) I called to find an alternative payment arrangement and was on hold for an hour and when I reached someone they informed me that the loan wasn't in their system yet and to call back. 
Called back several times and was eventually able to get online with my 2 accounts and make a payment on each loan. ( the website and features seem to be from 20 years ago ) I then set up an autopayment. Assuming the autopayment would work and I didn't check that XXXX payments were taken and they weren't. I found out about this by calls from their collections area. A payment hadn't been taken on either of my 2 loans and they reported me late on 1 of the 2 loans ( why 1 of 2? ). I referenced the law that they shouldn't be reporting me late after a transfer of servicing for 90 days and they informed me it was only 60 days. I was able to talk to a supervisor in the collections group ( XXXX ext : XXXX ). XXXX was pleasant enough and was going to take care of things for me. I spoke to him on XX/XX/XXXX. Their system couldn't take 2 payments on each account the same day so I did a payment on each account and he said he would call me back the next day to take the second payment. No call. I called back 2 days later and XXXX said that he got busy. I then made the 2nd payment on both loans online while I was talking to XXXX. He said he would take care of the late payment on my credit since I tried to set it up autopay and their system didn't work. I asked him to cc me on correspondence with the department that was going to resolve it and nothing has ever been emailed to me. He then took all my information down to setup my auto payments on both accounts. Today is XX/XX/XXXX and no autopayments have been taken. 

I would like to be assured that their error on reporting me with a late payment is removed from my credit report and compensate me for the impact that it had to my credit. From my understanding, it never actually goes away once it is reported. I would also like to have my servicing of my loan moved to a company that have systems up to date with today 's technology.

State: SC
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:
On XX/XX/2020 I sent a letter re : inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. It has been over 60 days and I have not received a response yet. I feel like I am being ignored and taken advantage of regarding my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) clearly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be promptly deleted. This has really caused me a lot of stress and strain and I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.

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:
The reason for my writing this complaint is to first and foremost inform that I am a victim of identity theft, my information and data was compromised without my authorization or consent. With this identity theft came fraudulent, unauthorized charges to my accounts on my credit file. As a result, I disputed this identity fraud with this company on XXXX by providing my written explanation and attaching relevant documentation e.g. Identity Theft Report, Proof of identity and Section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to proof my case. 
But until now, as I am writing to you, this company is still reporting these fraudulent inquiries contrary to law, which gives them at least 4 days to remove it upon receipt of fraud dispute letter. Let this be a final written notice of my intent to sue this company for failing to remove fraudulent items even after receiving a well-documented dispute coupled with exhibits for reference. For yet another time I am reaching out to this company to find a concrete resolution to this matter once and for all. Failure to this I will go ahead and file my already filled small claims forms with the courts. The following is the fraudulent account that I need to be removed by this company : 1. XXXX XXXX ACC #  XXXX, Date Opened XX/XX/2017, I am attaching the dispute letter/documents I sent to this company

There is a collections through Tek Collect that is from my wifes business that was an XXXX that I was not an owner of at all that is reporting just to my XXXX  report.

We have tried to dispute it through XXXX but we are getting no where with the business owner, collection company or XXXX. We have been in contact with all parties multiple times and either don't get calls back or cant get any straight answer and they just tell us to get an attorney. We have already paid {$1100.00} towards this balance that was owed which is how the balance is down to {$2400.00}. When looking through the documents there are miscellaneous charges to the amount that no one can give us clarification on what the misc charges are for. They are for a couple XXXX dollars each.

Complaint:
Ive been contacting the credit bureaus for 9 months via letters mailed in/fax/ and over the phone ; they are returning letters back to me ; refusing to investigate a lot of letters and fax went unacknowledged on letters that were sent certified mail so have confirmation that they have received them however when call rep states no record of receipt. I am fully aware they are backed up and working from home I hear family/pets in background systems go down while on the phone. This is clearly unfair that representatives are able to work from home, not held to office compliance, and refusing to process files that are received. No formal investigation is being engaged ; totally understand that we are in a pandemic however the world doesn't give agencies to be able to disregard work load and properly process files ; no laws have been sat in place to extend/amend investigation process and we are entitled to fair due process and letters to be processed without delay. WILLING TO SUBMITTED ENVELOPES THAT SHOWS " RETURN TO SENDER. INVESTIGATION ARE TAKING LONGER THAN 45 BUSINESS DAYS!!
