State: MA
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
For the months of XXXX XXXX XXXX I had a forbearance agreement with the Loss Mitigation Department with Cardinal Financial Company loan number XXXX for my mortgage. During this time remarks were made on my credit report of " partial agreement '' with an account balance increase each month during my forbearance period. My forbearance has since ended and I have made regular payments beginning XX/XX/2023. I have been told I qualify for a deferral putting the balance at the end of my loan which would make me current again. I have been told this paperwork should be to me within 30 days. Speaking with XXXX XXXX employee initials XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX I was approved for the deferral and would once again have full access to my Cardinal account within 30 days. ( again, documentation stating such should be to me within 30 days ). If I am still in active loss mitigation and have resumed normal payments and have a further agreement to put my missed payments on the end of my loan to become current again how is this company reporting XXXX missed payments now, as well as over the course of the last 6 months also reporting a partial payment agreement. They are tarnishing my credit score twice on the same matter. Furthermore, if I am approved for the deferral and the payments will be added to the end of my loan and I will be current again, how am I 6 months behind. This company is ruining my credit score and technically I am still in active loss mitigation. I thought they were helping me and this is nothing more than a nightmare. Once seeing this report on my credit score I called the loss mitigation dept on XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX employee initial XXXX  ) and she dismissed any concern and told me to send my concerns to an email address XXXX which I have done so and get no reply. My credit score has decreased over XXXX points for something I believe should not have. If they agreed to put my payments during the forbearance period at the end of my loan to become current again how am I now late? This makes it seem like I will be past due for the next 30 years. This is the worst company I have ever had dealings with. They are rude, dismissive and every single time I call I am informed something different that the next person has no idea what I am talking about.

Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
On Tuesday XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notification from XXXX that Bank of America had reported a missed payment. I thought this was unusual as I do not use this card. Upon reviewing my statement from BofA, I saw that a magazine subscription that I believed would end in XXXX had been renewed for an additional year subscription on XX/XX/XXXX. I promptly called the magazine and they had no problem returning the full amount to the Bank of America credit card. That amount, XXXX, was received by BofA today, XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I called Bank of America to inquire as to why they never contacted me regarding the late payment in the prior months and that the charge was in error and refunded. They told me I had selected paperless statements which somehow means they dont have to email statements or notices either. The statement for XXXX said I would be charged a late fee. I was not, however the Bank found it necessary to report the missed payment anyways. If it was late why was the late fee not charged? The card had rewards dollars that could have been used toward the balance, yet the Bank did not do that either. 

I asked if since the original charge was refunded and unauthorized if they would rescind the notice to the credit bureaus. They specifically told me that had I disputed the charge with them and not the merchant directly that they would have, but to dispute it now after it had been refunded would not be in my interest. I asked what the difference was and they were unable to give me an answer. 

This card has been active for 13 years and had never had a missed payment before. XXXX told me that the Bank can use its discretion to remove derogatory marks at will but Bank of America would not reveal under what circumstance they would do so and told me that I should contact the credit bureaus again. I have submitted disputes to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX.

Complaint:
I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ).

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion.

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors.

In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion.

Based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation.

Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest.
