I have tried to contact Lightstream ( the lender ) on numerous occasions to ask how much I still owe on the loan I took out several months ago.

Complaint:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint regarding my rights as a consumer that have been violated under US Code 1681c. Recently, I discovered on my credit report that there is an error of incorrect information and or delinquent payments.

I have requested that the reporting agencies correct this error but they failed to do so after 30 days. This violation puts me at risk of being denied credit or other services due to false information on my report. Furthermore, it has caused my credit score to be lowered significantly and has caused me stress and financial hardship.

Please take action against the reporting agencies for their failure to correct this error in a timely manner and investigate further into their practices. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter, Sincerely yours, XXXX XXXX

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I disputed my XXXX XXXX / XXXX XXXX account with all 3 credit agencies due to inaccurate information on XX/XX/XXXX. 

While I was late XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX ; due to a medical emergency and then again for the month of XX/XX/XXXX because XXXX did not forward the last bill when we moved in XX/XX/XXXX, I didn't receive a bill, I did pay it off when I received the final bill. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, when my husband and I applied for a mortgage, they informed me of the situation and told me if we could get approved ; it would raise my rates by a full point and we would not be eligible for some loan programs due to the issues with my credit reporting through XXXX. 

They also reported I was late XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX ; yet there was no balance during any of XXXX and I did not use the account until XX/XX/XXXX when they offered to increase my credit limit to {$1700.00}. 

When I disputed the account to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ; they investigated and deleted the account fully, but kept the incorrect late payments on my credit report, thus lowering my credit utilization by {$1700.00} and score by XXXX points on XX/XX/XXXX. 

We were relocating to XXXX from XXXX due to health issues in XX/XX/XXXX ; so I did not keep a close eye on my credit because we had already worked on it and gotten it above XXXX that was needed and we knew it would only go up as we paid our car loan off with no new bills. 

On XX/XX/XXXX we applied for a mortgage in XXXX  and were sent our credit reports and spoke to several mortgage companies that appraised of the situation with the incorrect credit reporting being on our report ; so I disputed the account again and filed a complaint with the CFPB.

I was in the process of applying for Insurance and it was brought to my attention that there is some inaccurate, incomplete and unverifiable information reporting on my credit report.

I received a copy of my credit report and to my surprise I saw all these inaccurate items that I have previously asked you to block.

I was a victim of Identity Theft. Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 605b ( a ) ( 2 ) you are required to remove any accounts opened without my knowledge, consent, or authority.

Also in addition to Section 1681c-2 ( a ) you are required to block any information in the file that I have identified that resulted from identity theft.

I have provided documents that can prove it. By the way I hope that this does not hinder my ability to obtain Insurance due to this inaccurate information reporting.

I was advised by a legal friend of mine that under 15 US Code 1681a section 603 ( k ) ( b ) ( i ) can be considered an adverse action.

Therefore I want the following accounts to be updated to the correct amount, date, status, open and closed date, last date of activity and time.If you can not complete this request, please delete the accounts immediately.

I have provided an exhibit of evidence showing the inaccuracies of my reports.

Please investigate every piece of information and remove these items below from my credit report.

Complaint:
On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.
