Complaint:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the repeated attempts I have made to rectify fraudulent items on my credit file. Despite multiple efforts to resolve this issue, the fraudulent information remains on my credit report, and I believe this is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

I would like to provide you with a summary of the situation and the efforts I have taken to address it : I discovered several items on my credit report that I believe are the result of identity theft or fraudulent activity. These items include Upon discovering these fraudulent items, I immediately filed a dispute with your agency, providing all necessary supporting documentation and evidence to substantiate my claim. 

After an initial response from your agency, I requested a reinvestigation of the disputed items, as I believed that they were not adequately addressed during the initial dispute process. 

I have sent multiple follow-up letters, emails, and made several phone calls to your agency, requesting updates on the status of my dispute and the progress of the reinvestigation. Despite my repeated attempts, I have not received any resolution or satisfactory response. 

I understand that the Fair Credit Reporting Act requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation of consumer disputes within 30 days of receiving the dispute. However, my dispute has not been resolved within this timeframe, which is a clear violation of my rights as a consumer. 


Conduct a thorough and immediate investigation into the disputed items on my credit report as required by law. 

Provide me with a written response detailing the results of your investigation, including any actions taken to rectify the fraudulent items. 

If it is determined that the items are indeed fraudulent, I request that you promptly remove them from my credit report. 

Ensure that your agency complies with all relevant laws and regulations, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I am asking for your assistance to remove the fraud items : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 2021-01-07
Company: Caliber Home Loans, Inc.
State: OH
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Caliber Home Loans to inquire a refinance letter received in the email. I spoke with XXXX XXXX from Caliber Home Loans who gave me more details regarding the refinance letter I had received in the mail. He reviewed my existing mortgage and recommended doing a refinance to a 10 year mortgage since the payment would only be {$27.00} more and we would save $ XXXX in interest compared to a 15 year mortgage. I mentioned that we had a home equity line of credit on the property as well as the mortgage from Caliber Home Loans. We discussed the amount the home equity line of credit was and the current balance of both loans. He said the home equity line of credit wouldn't be an issue since the mortgage and balance of home equity line of credit was less than my current mortgage loan was originated for. He told me that I had to pay {$23.00} for a credit check to move forward so I did. I submitted all required documents that day. He explained that the closing was going to take several months due to the low interest rates and all the refinances going on so don't expect any communication for a month or two. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Caliber Home Loans saying the loan application was " Withdrawn by Applicant ''. I immediately reached out to XXXX XXXX trying to understand why the letter stated that I request to cancel the loan. He responded by saying " Looking at the notes it looks like there was a second mortgage/lien found on the property. We can not subordinate it. ". I asked him for more details about the second mortgage since I am not aware of one and he stated that the HELOC is considered a second mortgage. 
I tried to contact Caliber Home Loans Advocacy Department however it plays a message saying to call during normal business ( which I was ) and then hung up. I called Caliber Home Loan 's customer service normal and was informed by a agent that that Advocacy Department phone system was down and to try later. I requested an executive path and was told that the best I could get was a call back when the system is back up or to call back after the system was back up. 

I am very concerned that Caliber Home Loans isn't tagging the loan cancellation reason correctly since the customer didn't ask to cancel the loan as well as not providing any details on why they cancelled the loan. I would like to understand why I was charged for a credit check if Caliber Home Loans doesn't allow existing HELOCs for a refinance.

Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: CA
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I have received a response form Santander, they have also sent a copy of the loan contract that I am disputing about. First I want to start by saying when it comes to fraud there are no statues of limitations. So lets start with Truth In Lending since this was indeed a consumer credit transaction under 15 USC 1605 THE FINANCE CHARGE i found 2 things I wan na bring to Santander attention that they are in Violation of : 1. Examples of charges which are INCLUDED in the finance charge include any of the following types of charges which are applicable : ( c ) Property damage and liability insurance premiums included in finance charge, Charges or premiums for insurance, written in connection with any consumer credit transaction, against loss of or damage to property or against liability arising out of the ownership or use of property, shall be included in the finance charge. SANTANDER did not include any insurance in the contract they labeled that section N/A.

2. The finance charge does not include charges of a type payable in a comparable CASH transaction. Since this was a Finance charge there shouldn't be any cash transactions, I had to put down {$1500.00} cash to acquire the vehicle.

Due to the response that I have received from Santander, I am requesting a DEBT VALIDATION. This is a notice following the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g stating your response and claim is being disputed and validation is requested. This is not a request for " verification '' or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made following the above named Title and section. I respectfully request your offices to provide me with efficient evidence that I have any legal obligation.

Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
A fraudulent reservation was made through the XXXX website using my XXXX financial loan info without my consent or knowledge. I contacted XXXX to report and dispute the unauthorized/fraudulent activity and after 30 days they settled on a resolution that I still owe this loan but did not provide any proof or reasoning why. I contacted XXXX to confirm that I've never had an account or reservation with them and asked if they had any knowledge of this reservation, which they did, and they've since removed the reservation from their site but claimed they would refund the full reservation amount since their was fraudulent activity done and they would look into it. NO additional information was provided from XXXX regarding the reservation. I also filed an affidavit with XXXX  and submitted a FTC report on both organizations as a response to the resolution that I was a victim of identity theft and that the reservation made on the XXXX website was not done by myself or with my knowledge or consent. XXXX has since sent the now delinquent loan to 3 different collection agencies and 2 of the 3 stated that with the proof of documentation I provided to them, they would not be pursuing debt from me on this loan and would contact XXXX to confirm their decision. XXXX did not reach out to me with any updates or information at any point but proceeded to send me the third collections agency which I have not received any communication from. I've also filed a fraudulent dispute with Experian in XX/XX/2021 and they also came back with a resolution that the XXXX loan will remain on my account. I have received no documentation to prove this debt is mine but have filed and sent fraudulent and identity theft reports, a signed affidavit, several calls and emails proving this loan was fraudulent, unauthorized and that it should be removed from my credit report. I've spoken to several XXXX supervisors and representatives that have a log of all the calls and emails and supporting documentation that proves this loan was not authorized by myself and should never have been approved.
