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:
Im submitting this complaint against XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  due to their total disregard for my consumer rights under the FCRA/FCBA/FDCPA. For several months now, I've been disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information showing up on my credit report by this company. I have requested intimate information about the alleged accounts, including a copy of an agreement with my signature on it, but I have yet to receive anything. These companies continue to electronically verify these " ghost '' accounts without providing any legally binding evidence, such as a signed contract and complete accounting of the record, as required by law. They're clearly lying and thus the reason Im asking for proof. However, these companies refuse to provide it, which is not right and is not compliant with the FCRA/FDCPA. Im absolutely fed up. My life has been in complete ruin as a result of this. It's causing enormous mental and financial distress, preventing me from getting approved from credit that I am rightfully entitled to, and not to mention the ample amount of time that I must take out to try and resolve this matter myself. This has brought a great deal of harm to my family as a whole as well. Ive just had enough! Please help! I hope to hear from you soon.

When I investigated my credit report, I realized that some of the information was erroneous. The 3 credit bureaus are required to authenticate the account under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ). It is not acceptable to treat the reporting account as unconfirmed information without producing proof within the legal time range.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
After dragging my mortgage process out for almost 45 days, TowneFirst Mortgage of XXXX VA pulled my loan on XX/XX/2021, less than 36 hours from my initial closing date of XX/XX/2021. I was never given a concrete answer as to why the loan was pulled, nor was I able to get a response from anyone within the company advising on same. 

I believe they have been mishandling VA loans as they did not follow procedures and regulations regarding multiple issues including length of income, suitability of partner generating income, and transparency of underwriting decisions.

Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: NV
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I started an application for refinance of a VA mortgage held by Penneymac. My information was taken over the phone by a Loan Agent. I next received a secure encrypted message with loan documents to be " E-signed '' and after complying with this request I received a notice that a NOTARY PUBLIC would visit my home to notorize documents. On XX/XX/2021 two people arrived. They informed me that my wife and I would be required to manually sign 52 documents. I informed them that my wife is XXXX years old and suffers from XXXX XXXX. I then asked if I could sign for her, he replied that " Only if I had Power Of Attorney ''. 
I strongly feel that this requirement should have been disclosed prior to the application process start. I feel that they deliberately withheld this important item for fear we would not proceed with the application. 
I then called to speak to Processing Agent, she was not available. 
I then asked for Loan Agent, he was not available either. I then asked for a manager. After a long hold I was connected to a woman who said she was a manager. She started off with a clear voice asking for my name and personal information BUT when she had to reply to my questions for information, her voice suddenly got unintelligible. When I complained she said she would hang up and call back. She never called back. One other thing : I CLEARLY ASKED TO WITHDRAW MY APPLICATION & RECEIVE A CONFIRMING MESSAGE. This they failed to do also.

Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: MI
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020 Huntington transferred a small Mortgage Loan of mine to another bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), but they managed to transfer an incorrect amount. In the beginning of XXXX I called both XXXX and Huntington to try and fix the discrepancies between my final balance at Huntington ( {$1100.00} ) and what they sent on to XXXX XXXX {$1200.00} ). XXXX was fairly helpful but unable to do anything until they had proof from Huntington that the transfer balance amount was incorrect. Huntington refused to move forward until I received my activity statements from Huntington, which took 6 weeks to arrive at my house. Meanwhile XXXX immediately provided the document showing the loan transfer amount, which was signed by a Huntington employee. Once I had the activity statements around the end of XXXX, I began calling Hunting again, about 4-5 times a month to ask if they've resolved the issue. Around the end of XXXX Huntington decided they needed the document from XXXX and would not move forward with resolving the issue until they had it ( why did they not ask for this sooner??? ). I sent the document to Huntington that same day, and then they said they would have their research department look into and reach out to XXXX. I've called multiple times since then and each time was told that the research department has already reached out to XXXX to rectify the discrepancy. It's now XX/XX/XXXX and they still have not resolved the issue. I contacted XXXX  today and they said they still have not received anything from Huntington.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
I've been a victim of identity theft for some time now, there has been fraud accounts on my profile and overtime the credit bureaus have not helped me with removing them. I reached out to all 3 of the credit bureaus to have these items blocked/removed but they have only received my request to block these said fraud accounts, through the 605 ( b ) laws, as i've sent in a cover letter, ftc report, list of fraud item, and proof of identity. I've sent the necessary documents over and over. But these bureaus continues to tell me over the phone that they are still working on their investigation and its been several months since they've received notice. 4 days after receipt of block request using the necessary documents is as long as the credit bureaus have to take to remove the identified identity theft items off of a consumers report, that is LAW! 605 ( b ) FCRA, so why are these items still on my report? Because these bureaus are willfully and knowingly being negligent of identity fraud. This has to stop! I AM PREPARED TO SUE.
