Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
The credit bureaus keep disrespecting the laws. I showed them multiple times of how they are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 
According to 15 use 1681 ( 5 ) The credit bureaus said everything was complete and accurate and I asked them how if the open date is wrong.

Then I ask them to provide me description of the investigation according to 15 USC 1681 ( 7 ) and they never did. I have proof of my letter for that.

Also according to 15 USC 1681 s-2 A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 
This is violation after violation after violation. This is causing me stress because I have no hope with this system

Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
Hello. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, my fiance lost his job on XX/XX/2020. We have a mortgage together with Caliber Home Loans. We called to find out whether we can defer at least a payment or two and were told that the only program they have available is forbearance. We can forbear our payments for up to three months, but at the end of that period, all payments " missed '' would be immediately due. How is that supposed to help anyone at this time????? I just looked on their XXXX page and that is the same complaint everyone is having. I provided other consumers with the link to this complaint page and was removed from the Caliber Home Loan page. 

In addition, we had work done due to a mold issue, and they had to co-sign on the check provided to us by the insurance company to give to the construction workers. We have never been late, ever, on our mortgage, and nothing is due to them at this time ( until XX/XX/XXXX for next mortgage payment ) yet according to what I just saw online today, they are only signing off on half of the funds.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I am writing to express my concern about the inaccurate representation of accounts in my consumer report. It has come to my attention that I never provided written consent for the inclusion of these accounts in my report, which, in my belief, constitutes a breach of my rights as outlined in 15 USC 1681b. This breach specifically relates to safeguarding consumer information and the essential requirement of obtaining consent prior to reporting it. 

I've already initiated a report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and have been assigned a reference number, which is XXXX. Furthermore, I've made multiple attempts to request the removal of these entries from my report, only to receive unsolicited documents from the creditor. My grievance is aimed at your credit reporting agencies, as it falls within your responsibility to ensure accurate and compliant reporting. 

In accordance with 15 USC 1681c-2, consumer reporting agencies are mandated to swiftly block the reporting of any information in a consumer 's file identified as originating from suspected identity theft. In light of this legal obligation, I respectfully request your prompt action in removing the following accounts from my consumer report : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Requesting Removal of Unauthorized Inquiry XXXX XXXX XXXX - Inquired on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Inquired on XX/XX/ Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated, and I trust that you will act in accordance with the law to rectify this situation promptly.

State: CO
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I've highlighted the inconsistencies and inaccuracies in the account information provided from the three credit bureaus : XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. 

Date Opened : There is a discrepancy in the Date Opened across the three bureaus. 
XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Last Reported : There is a discrepancy in the Last Reported date between XXXX and the other two bureaus. 
XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Date Last Active : There is a discrepancy in the Date Last Active across the three bureaus. 
XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX These inaccuracies and inconsistencies may violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) provisions. In particular, they violate Section 611 ( a ) of the FCRA, which states that a consumer reporting agency must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is accurate when a consumer disputes the accuracy of information in their credit report.

Given that the collection agency has verified the inaccurate information, the credit bureaus are now in violation of Section 623 ( b ) of the FCRA, which requires a furnisher of information ( in this case, the collection agency ) to conduct an investigation upon receiving notice of a dispute from a consumer reporting agency and report the results back to the consumer reporting agency.
