Ive been contacting the credit bureaus for 9 months via letters mailed in/fax/ and over the phone ; they are returning letters back to me ; refusing to investigate a lot of letters and fax went unacknowledged on letters that were sent certified mail so have confirmation that they have received them however when call rep states no record of receipt. I am fully aware they are backed up and working from home I hear family/pets in background systems go down while on the phone.

Complaint:
In the past week, XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX, have dropped my credit score by more than 70 points. The " changes '' were an account that had bee fraudulently obtained was deleted from my credit report and I took advantage of the COVID relief program and modified my mortgage which resulted in a lower payment and while the costs of the modification were financed in, the loan is 80 % of the current value of the house. So I am unclear how being in a better position with a lower payment can negatively affect a credit score. 

I also fail to understand how the removal of an account that was the result of fraud can lower one 's credit score.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an updated copy of my Equifax credit report. I had disputed the XXXX 's Account because the account status was being reported incorrectly. I even mailed a letter to XXXX XXXX  to advising them of the error. When I looked at the results the Equifax stated the original creditor had verified the status was being reported correctly. I question the validity of that because I have letter dated XX/XX/XXXX that refutes that. The date on my credit report is dated XX/XX/XXXX. How did Equifax verify something that XXXX had already agreed to correct after the XX/XX/XXXX letter. 

I called XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX and I was told by some person named XXXX that the status should be reported as a charge off, I told him he was wrong because the account had been included in bankruptcy in XXXX which was well after the charge off in XXXX. 

XXXX was wrong and he needs to be retrained. I called back and was transferred to another representative who did know what she was talking about either. 

I feel like I am being jerked around and rights are being violated by XXXX XXXX.

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

This was account has already been disputed with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX once before, and they refuse to correct their records. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is alleging that I had an account with XXXX XXXX & that it became delinquent on XX/XX/2016. That is factually incorrect. XXXX XXXX is " re-aging '' this account to show that its more recent than it actually is, which allows them to continue to report it. I have asked them to provide proof that this account was indeed delinquent on the dates they claim.. I have asked them to return a copy of the final XXXX XXXX billing statement, and they refuse to do so. The negative mark is showing up on several credit bureau 's reports as well as with XXXX XXXX. I have perfect credit except for this negative mark and I want the CFPB to cite XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for their illegal practices and behaviors. This is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act & /or Fair Debt Practices Act.

Sub-issue: Billing problem

Complaint:
I financed a new XXXX XXXX XXXX through Ally in XX/XX/XXXX Payments did not begin until XX/XX/XXXX. I have included my personal bank account statement history to show all of the payments made to Ally. I have also included my online account through Ally showing the payments and dates the payments from my bank went through to Ally. Finally, I have also included the accounting statement from XXXX in the XXXX XXXX for Ally. It is quite apparent my payments have not been applied correctly and according to the Federal Accounting Standards. 
I have been consistently ahead on my payments, month after month, since XX/XX/XXXX. I had one late payment in XX/XX/XXXX but was still paid ahead. One can see how much I have paid ahead on the accounting summary in the Pmt Due ( payment due ) column. The problem in the accounting on my account occurs in XX/XX/XXXX. My Pmt Due was {$15.00} while the monthly scheduled payment was {$470.00}. This means by this time, paying over every month had put me ahead {$450.00} ( {$470.00} - {$15.00} ). I paid {$500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, putting me ahead {$480.00} ( {$450.00} + ( {$500.00} - XXXX ) ) for the XX/XX/XXXX payment. Instead of making my payment due for XX/XX/XXXX {$0.00} and applying my {$500.00} payment made in XX/XX/XXXX, Ally added the {$15.00} I owed in XX/XX/XXXX to the XX/XX/XXXX payment making my payment due {$480.00} by XX/XX/XXXX. My {$480.00} disappeared. I lost my car to flooding during Hurricane Florence on XX/XX/XXXX. When I logged on to my Ally account to make sure my XX/XX/XXXX payment was covered, my account showed {$0.00} payment due. I knew I was ahead over a full month 's payment so I cancelled my online automatic payment and verified through my online account. I tried to log on to my account the end of XX/XX/XXXX to make sure my insurance payments were going through appropriately, but my account was closed. To this day, Ally insists I still owe them money. The last notice I received of payment due was XX/XX/XXXX for {$87.00}. Ally has been taking monthly scheduled payments out of my insurance settlement to continuously apply funds to finance charges even though my insurance company ( XXXX ) sent payment on XX/XX/XXXX ( I have attached the payment confirmation ). Ally owns my GAP insurance company, and the accounting statement somehow shows GAP was paid the day after my total-loss claim and over a month before my insurance settlement was paid. I have tried to communicate with XXXX who provided me the accounting document. He interrupts me, tries to give me bogus reasons for my account being wrong, and has hung up on me after me asking him to not interrupt me so I could explain my problem. I would really appreciate help with this situation.

Complaint:
I have had this Chase Slate card open since 2009. I am paying 24 % interest as an Overdraft Interest Fee. This is not the interest rate for purchases. This is a separate fee every month. I spoke to costumer service. They denied the ability to decrease the 24 % overdraft interest fee. I have no late payments on this card. I also bank with Chase. They were unable to help me in any way. I am desperate to pay this credit card down. With this high interest fee, it has been difficult.
