Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL
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: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to bring to your attention a matter that I believe to be an inaccurate reporting on my credit report by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX I am confident that this is an error and wish to formally dispute it, hoping you can assist me in this matter. 

The issue pertains to a lease account that I had with XXXX. Throughout the course of the lease, I consistently made my payments on time, ensuring my financial responsibility was upheld. However, it has come to my attention that XXXX reported negatively against my credit report, which, given my payment history, I believe to be erroneous. 

To further complicate matters, XXXX delayed in closing my lease account by a month, even after I had paid the final bill. This delay, coupled with the inaccurate reporting, is having an unjustly adverse effect on my credit score, which I am earnestly trying to maintain in good standing. 

I wish to emphasize that I have always upheld my financial obligations with due diligence, and this can be validated by my payment history. I have receipts and bank statements to demonstrate that I made payments on time, and I am prepared to provide these as evidence if required. Furthermore, the payment for the final bill was made promptly, and I have documentation to verify this too. 

The misreporting by XXXX has caused me undue stress and financial hardship as it directly affects my creditworthiness. I believe this issue may simply be an administrative error or oversight, but its impact is far from trivial. 

Given the evident discrepancy, I kindly request that the CFPB intervene and assist in rectifying this issue. The inaccurate information should be removed from my credit report, the account should be marked as closed, and my credit score should be corrected to reflect my actual credit history. 

I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and am hopeful for a resolution that aligns with the factual information. I believe in the fairness and efficiency of the CFPB and trust that you will handle this situation with the utmost care and urgency. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. 

Sincerely,

Issue: Problem with additional add-on products or services

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern, I currently have a VA Loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX   being serviced by Dovenmuehle Mortgage , Inc. For the last seven months, I have attempted to reach out and request numerous updated Escrow Analyses to be reperformed on my VA loan. Every time I talk to a representative for an explanation, they tell me they didn't receive my request or my re-request for an updated escrow analysis and re-submit a new one. However, every month I get another letter stating that they reviewed by Escrow Account and made the necessary adjustments and/or that they thought the Escrow Account was analyzed correctly. However, when I call back and speak to a Representative and explain the support I provided, they agree with me and re-submit my account for a reperformance. I have attempted to do this many many times and I feel that they are not listening or do not care. However, I am sure I am not the only person who is going through this and being previously in the Loan Servicing Company. I feel Dovenmuehle does not appropriately or accurately assess Escrow Accounts and I am sure I am not the only borrower they have done this too. I would like someone from the CFPB to look into this. In addition, I will be reaching out to my VA Representative to see what steps I can take to have another Mortgage Loan Service Provider.

Complaint:
Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified these items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. 

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigations, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly UPDATE all information which can not be verified.

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy that Im about to seek. You are willful non complying with the FCRA. 

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the company directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof.

I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy. 

Please delete these accounts, or inaccurate information, from my file immediately & send me the results to the address listed...

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2019, I visited the Transunion website to check my credit score and report. I've never done so before so I thought the service would be free. In addition, I don't recall entering any credit card information or seeing any warnings that I would be charged for a service. On XX/XX/XXXX, however, I noticed a charge of {$24.00} for a " subscription service '' with Transunion. I know for sure that I never would have agreed to such a price and contacted them right away. When I spoke with a representative, he said that by entering my social security number I agreed to be charged monthly. 
Obviously this is incredibly misleading at best because the website asks for your social security number on the very first page without telling you that you will be charged.
