Complaint:
I have been disputing the fraudulent items on my Credit Report from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX by sending dispute letters addressed to the Credit Bureaus. But despite all my efforts to correct my Credit file, the Credit Bureaus seemed to enjoy not giving a XXXX about my Dispute and my Credit File. The Credit Bureaus are given ample amount of time by the Federal law to conduct their investigation and remove the items that resulted due to Identity Theft. I am submitting this complaint to remind the Credit Bureaus that they are required to remove the items I am disputing since these resulted due to the crime. They have failed me before and I was tempted to take legal actions against the Credit reporting Agencies but I will be kind enough to give them a couple more chance and correct my File under each Respective Bureaus. I am utterly frustrated to see that despite all my efforts, the Credit Bureaus have become negligent of the FCRA regulation, my appeals, and their utmost duty to report accurate only information on a consumer 's Credit File. Once again, the items I am disputing were the result of the Identity Theft and must be removed immediately in accordance to FCRA regulations : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX  XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$5600.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed ; {$4300.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$1000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$2700.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX  XXXX/XXXX/XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$850.00} XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX/XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: MI
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I applied for a HELOC. During the second day of processing I was asked why my pay check stubs went to a different address? I stated I lived in an apartment. At that point, I was put on hold and no one ever came back to the phone. The next day I received an email from a processor stating to provide a ton of personal information needed to process the loan. I responded with some of the information, but wrote about what happened the following day. I then said, before I go further, is there an issue with me living at a different address? She responded " It might be '', or something to that affect. Now, I'm concerned, because they have pulled my credit report and I know inquiries count against you. I asked her to confirm, before I send all this information, so as not to waste my time any further. We went back and forth, then she said I would be denied because I don't live on the property and she will notify underwriting to withdraw my application- that dry and that blunt. I asked if there were any other options? While waiting for a response - I asked if I could have the managers contact information. She responded with the Managers name " XXXX XXXX '' and stated she would not give me his number but he would call me. If I want to know more about loan options, to stop in at one of the local branches. I'm still waiting to touch bases with XXXX. This bank pulled my credit with out confirming what appears to be very important information if you are applying for a HELOC and denied me with no conversation or options for me. My credit score is around XXXX. I have never been late on my mortgage or loans in 20+ years. I believe an exception could have been made If I could have spoken with someone. And, If not explain why. I feel used and discarded.

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

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern : I submitted a previous complaint to CFPB ( # XXXX ) which the mortgage company in question ( XXXX Loan Servicing ) responded to by providing a letter ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ) to myself, and also to CFPB under aforementioned complaint, stating that all 30-Day late reporting during Covid-19 Forbearance ( from XX/XX/XXXX through XXXX XXXX months ) would be corrected/amended to show as current. That is, the 30-Day lates between this time would be removed from my credit reports. The letter also stated they would notify all Credit Bureau 's to inform them of the correction. On the following dates I initiated disputes with the Credit Bureau 's to update their records to remove the late reporting : XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX, Dispute No. XXXX ) ; XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX, Report No. XXXX ) ; and TransUnion ( I could not login to their dispute website and the dispute hotline kept booting me off ). I also spoke to XXXX Customer Service Rep, XXXX XXXX, on or around XX/XX/XXXX, and she advised I initiate disputes with each Credit Bureau if credit report was not updated after 45-60 days of date of letter of XX/XX/XXXX. We are now on XX/XX/XXXX, 77 days after, and all credit reports have not updated my account information to remove the 30-day late 's being mentioned here. Due to this, I still can not apply to refinance my home in hopes of lower my payment, and take advantage of low rates. Please assist as I feel I can not get things resolved with Credit Bureau 's, or if my loan servicer has not reached out to Credit Bureau 's to correct this. 

Your assistance will be much appreciated.

Company: GLA Collection Company, Inc.
State: KY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I've requested in the past - by phone as they refused to email so I have documentation - my proof of debt. 

I'd like to know what information exactly was shared with the collection company that keeps calling me every day ( once to twice daily ) and has sent me mail that very vaguely says they're going to sue me if I don't start putting up some money. 

This company asked - after I explicitly stated I couldn't pay anything as I was broke and unemployed and requested they leave me alone at XXXX XXXX on a XXXX in XXXX  - if I could pay half of my debt right then. 

I'd like to repeat, I asked them to stop calling and they haven't, their litigation mail came out as threatening to sue me if I didn't start paying, I can't get verification of my debt despite having requested it by phone - and they don't respond to emails, so I have no way of proving I ever asked.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX This is not mine. I am a victim of ID Theft and I have included a police report. Remove it from my credit report. TransUnion and this creditor are both in direct violation of 15 USC 1681c-2 ( a ) by continuing to report this fraudulent account to my credit report after numerous submissions of the necessary documentation proving I am not responsible for this debt. My rights are being violated and I will have to report this to the CFPB, FTC, XXXX and the attorney general as well. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 

XXXX can not supply this information and proceed to just continue reporting this fraudulent account ; directly violating my rights as a consumer that I am entitled to per the FCRA.
