Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
Experian sent me an email on XX/XX/2023 telling me my Credit Report had a thaw added to my credit report file. Then I get an email from them on XX/XX/2023 ( while the so called " thaw '' was in effect from XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/2023 to XXXXXXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023 ) that there was an inquiry on my credit file that was blocked. I called Experian and after 15 minutes of trying to get past their XXXX  system, I finally got a person on the line who told me that I also had to lift the credit freeze in addition to the " Thaw! '' Now if that isn't a run around and a scam, I do not know what one is. They should be made to honor a temporary " thaw '' ( if it doesnt temporarily lift a freeze what use is it? ) and no one should have to lift and reinitiate a credit freeze to have their credit file used to obtain new credit. No doubt they make $ $ $ by initiating a credit freeze and this is just another scam.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I recently disputed a credit card transaction with a merchant that had overcharged me for a rental car. I contacted the merchant to resolve the issue but at the same time, asked my bank to also investigate. It turns out that when you do this, your bank lets the credit bureaus know that you have a dispute with a merchant currently being looked at but in the process, don't communicate the balance or the payment history to them of your credit card account at that time. As a result, all XXXX credit bureaus dropped my credit score by XXXX points! Surely, this is illegal? Why would a dispute with a merchant result in my credit score dropping at all? In one case, the credit bureau dropped my score by XXXX points! I don't believe this is fair. I've worked hard to get my score up and due to what is clearly a flawed process, I have been penalized through no fault of mine. The merchant agreed that they were wrong and the matter has been resolved. However, my credit score has been severely damaged.

Company: Fay Servicing, LLC
State: PA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Other type of mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Our mortgage is through XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, d/b/a/ XXXX XXXX as Trustee and our servicer is Fay Servicing. We had a loss of income hardship so I applied for a modification. On the application we had checked the box that said we wanted to keep the home. They gave us options were we would have to give up the house so we turned the offerings down. They started the foreclosure process because we could not make the payments. In the meantime, I had become XXXX and was waiting on the back pay to bring our mortgage current. I kept applying for modifications and we kept getting the offerings where we would have to move. I had checked into government plans and we did not qualify for any of them. I also applied for HEMAP and we could not do that because we could not afford to start paying immediately. Finally one modification they offered a lower interest rate and added the balance of the money we owed on the back of the loan but it was to be paid all at once. We could not afford that last end payment so we applied for another modification looking for something we could afford. It turns out that we did not understand that we would be able to refinance through another lender when that large payment came due. I contacted them to see if we could accept that offering since we did not understand it and they told us no. Since we rejected it, they could not offer it again because the rejection meant that we could not afford it. I applied over and over and kept getting offers where we would not be able to keep the home. My back pay from XXXX finally came in and we were able to bring the loan current. However, even with XXXX payments, it is still a hardship for us to make the loan payments. I applied again and they sent me a letter saying that we were not eligible for any alternative to foreclosure and do not quality for any available loss mitigation options. It just indicated that we would have to reinstate the account which had already been done. I am just asking for a lower interest rate now that we are paid up and they don't seem to want to help. Also, they are sending statements with " fee charges '' but no where does it say what it is for. It just throws a dollar amount in there. Our escrow amount keeps going up also even though our taxes have barely changed. I called the tax assessor to confirm and which she did.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
This letter is being sent today in order to formally contest some errors found on the credit report. Some discrepancies were discovered during a recent review of the credit report, which has caused my credit score to suffer. 

A prompt response to look into these inconsistencies and make the necessary corrections is expected given how serious this problem is. The credit system is made to accurately reflect consumers ' financial circumstances. However, the appearance of these errors raises concerns about the efficiency of that system. 

Dealing with these errors is difficult despite efforts to keep finances in order. It is doubtful whether this important financial document is accurate, which could have an impact on future financial decisions and the credit score. The potential effects of a system-generated report on one 's financial situation demand serious consideration. 

The seriousness of the situation is highlighted in light of the current circumstances, and an immediate conclusion to this dispute is urged. We need your help to solve this problem and deliver a credit report that accurately reflects fiscal responsibility. 

A timely response to this important matter is desired. A correct credit report can be obtained with your help.

I had 2 bills from XXXX XXXX for a total of {$120.00} that I paid in XX/XX/XXXX. I subscribe to a credit monitoring service and got an alert a few months ago.

I called XXXX XXXX and after several calls and emails they said they received proof of payment and would " send to correct department to review. '' That was on XX/XX/XXXX. I disputed with all 3 credit agencies. XXXX removed it the same day. XXXX and XXXX both say the debt has been reported as accurate. Even if I wanted to pay the collection agency, PlusFour, the number is out of service. I've disputed twice each with XXXX XXXX XXXX and included proof of payment and they just keep saying the same thing.
