This credit bureauDoes not repect or follow the Laws of FCRA. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act, The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. 

XXXX  XXXX BANKRUPTCY : # XXXX XXXX  XXXX BANKRUPTCY : # XXXX XXXX  XXXX BANKRUPTCY : # XXXX XXXX  XXXX BANKRUPTCY : # XXXX All of these accounts listed above has violated my rights According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ). However this credit bureau is saying that these accounts were verified for 100 percent accuracy. However I asked them how? when the filing date on each account is wrong. 

I also requested that they provide me proof and a written description of the investigation according to 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) which they never did. Additionally, according to 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) 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. 

Also, I've learned that according to the following FCRA Laws my rights were purposely disrespected. 

15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A States that I have the right to privacy. So reporting the inaccurate accounts blatantly disregard my rights. and according to 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish any account information without my written instructions and I have not Giving Any written instructions to do so. 

These are Serious Violations of my rights. I feel situation is causing me alot of stress because I believe my rights have been violated purposely which makes me loose hope in this whole system. I hope this complaint compels this credit bureau to do their jobs more effectively with the consumers rights being respected.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: GA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
It all started on XX/XX/XXXX when Discover incorrectly reported my balance to credit bureaus. The balance for my statement cycle ending on XX/XX/XXXX was {$190.00} and they reported around {$300.00} or {$400.00} to credit bureaus at the time. 

When I contacted them to correct it, they ended up reporting my balance in the middle of my following cycle. This random reporting had an immediate negative impact on my credit score as I have a habit of paying at least 90 % of my balance right before my cycle closing date- when it normally gets reported to credit bureaus. That unexpected mid-cycle reporting dropped my credit score by more than XXXX points at that time but I decided not to escalate this matter and just pay down my balance by my next cycle closing date as I normally do. 

Consequently, I reduced my balance to {$480.00} on my next statement closing date of XX/XX/2022 ( to maintain a sub 10 % utilization ratio on this card ). Unfortunately, Discover card once again decided to report my balance randomly, in the middle of my cycle, on XX/XX/2022. This unplanned and erratic reporting increased my utilization ratio to 48 % and cost me yet another XXXX points on my credit score, right at a time when I'm shopping around for new auto loans and I need my score to stay as high as possible. 

When I contacted Discover about this, they advised that the report on that date was due to the fact that I reported a lost card and requested a replacement card. The problem with this is that at no point in this process was I proactively advised that the issuance of a replacement card would prompt my balance to be reported out of cycle. Moreover, it was not the first time I had replied a card with Discover and the previous instance did not prompt a random reporting of my balance on that day. Finally, I also replaced my cards with two of my other credit card companies ( XXXX XXXX and XXXX ) in the same fashion on that date. Yet, these two other credit card companies DID NOT report my balance to credit bureaus the way Discover did. This action that negatively impacted my financial profile was unique to Discover.

Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: NE
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
We have paid down our mortgage to below 78 % of the original value of the home, yet the mortgage company requires a new valuation on our home, that costs hundreds of dollars, in order to remove our PMI. It is my understanding that a home valuation is not required if our principal balance falls below 78 % of the original home valuation, which it has recently. The mortgage company told us it is not possible to remove the PMI at any principal balance without a home valuation that costs hundreds of dollars. The mortgage company quoted us $ XXXX {$800.00} for cost of the home valuation. We waited many months to have the PMI removed after the 80 % threshold because we did not want to have to pay for the valuation cost and were under the impression the PMI would automatically be cancelled when the loan balance fell below 78 % of the original home value. 

Our home was originally valued at {$160000.00} upon loan creation in XXXX. The original mortgage balance was {$150000.00}. Our current principal balance today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) is {$120000.00}. If the home was appraised ( of course with the rising housing market ), we would receive an appraisal well over what the home was originally valued for in XXXX. 

All we want is to be treated fairly. I do not feel like requiring a costly home valuation in today 's market, after having our mortgage for 8 years and paying down our LTV ratio to below 78 %, is fair to us. Please help us with this unfair and deceptive practice. If we had known the same requirements would be in place when we were at 80 % LTV to 78 % LTV we would have gone through this process many months ago. 

I have attached the company 's recent response to our request to remove PMI dated XX/XX/XXXX.

Firstly, I would like to emphasize that I have not violated any PayPal policy.

I am eager to regain access to my account and resume using PayPal for my online transactions. 

In conclusion, I would like to thank you for your time and consideration in reviewing my appeal. I hope that you will take the necessary steps to rectify this issue and restore my PayPal account. 

Sincerely, [ XXXX XXXX ]
