Complaint:
I am appalled to see that the Accounts I have been disputing were not corrected after acquiring an updated copy of my Credit Report. I have been sending countless letters to the Credit Bureuas urging them to correct the accounts from erroneous reporting, however, I am disappointed to see that the Credit Bureaus have done nothing. The last letter I sent to the Credit Bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX requests that the Items I believe report inaccurate information must be corrected. The Credit Bureaus never responded to the Letters I previously Sent before XX/XX/XXXX which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i, which the Credit Bureaus are obligated to finish their investigation within 30 days. The 3 credit bureaus are required to authenticate these accounts under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ). It is not acceptable to treat these reporting accounts as unconfirmed information without producing proof within the legal time range. Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ), I need the following accounts corrected now : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance {$1200.00} Date opened XX/XX/XXXX THE BANK XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance {$200.00} Date opened XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance {$1800.00} Date opened XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX XXXX XXXX  data breach. I submitted all the required documents per XXXX and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Complaint:
This is in reference to the Unemployment Keybank Card for XXXX New York, I would like to state the potential consequences for the damages suffered in the following case. The facts of the case are as follows : I reported fraudulent charges on their card to the unemployment office. The unemployment office requested that my client send a copy of their ID and the card number via fax. My client complied with this request, and shortly after, the funds were going to be used to put a down payment on a used XXXX for a total of {$40000.00}. However, the unemployment office has yet to send my clients card back since the information was faxed to them.

Based on these facts, my client may be entitled to damages due to the unemployment offices failure to return the card. These damages include the cost of the car, as well as any additional expenses my client may have incurred as a result of not having access to their funds, such as late fees, interest charges, and the cost of alternative transportation.

Additionally, there may be legal consequences for the unemployment office if it is found that they acted negligently or in bad faith. This includes fines or penalties, as well as potential civil or criminal liability. 

Today i was asked again to send my i.d . after confirming that this was done in XXXX and notified them of the fax and time. they still insisted today to fax the information that they already have.

Complaint:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to dispute several hard inquiries on my credit report. According to my credit report, there have been several hard inquiries made by various lenders over the past few months that have negatively impacted my credit score. 

I understand that lenders have the right to request my credit report as part of their lending process, but I believe that these inquiries were made without my consent or authorization. I have not applied for any credit or loans during this time period and have no knowledge of any lenders or financial institutions conducting a credit check on me. 

As you are aware, hard inquiries can stay on a credit report for up to two years and can have a negative impact on my credit score, which can affect my ability to obtain credit in the future. Therefore, I am requesting that these hard inquiries be removed from my credit report immediately. 

I have already contacted the credit reporting agencies and disputed these inquiries, but I have not received a satisfactory response. I am hoping that your organization can assist me in resolving this matter as soon as possible. 

My credit report clearly shows the unauthorized hard inquiries. Please let me know if you require any further information or documentation from me to resolve this matter. 

Thank you for your assistance in this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I was made aware that an account was opened using my name in 2019 for XXXX XXXX XXXX. This account was opened using a NY address despite the fact that I was living in Arizona, and have the supporting documents to prove it. 

I don't understand why it is so difficult for them to see that a college student at the time could not possibly be paying for services in a state I did not reside. 

Having this inaccuracy on my file is getting in the way of my life, and so I am writing to you today in hopes that you will help me move forward with all of this. 

Regards, XXXX XXXX

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

Complaint:
* XX/XX/XXXX - Application for For COVID-19 Forbearance is Approved by LoanCare for 360 days. At this point my account with LoanCare is current.

According to LoanCare 's Forbearance terms : " If your loan was current at the time of entering into this Forbearance plan, then each month you are in the Forbearance Plan, we will report the status of the account to the credit reporting agencies as current '' * XX/XX/XXXX - I am notified that mortgage servicing will be transferred to XXXX XXXX  XXXX d/b/a/ XXXX XXXX effective XX/XX/XXXX * XX/XX/XXXX - Servicing of my Mortgage is to XXXX XXXX  XXXX d/b/a/ XXXX XXXX * XX/XX/XXXX - LoanCare LLC reports a 90+ day delinquency to XXXX -- in violation of their agreement to report my account as current * XX/XX/XXXX - While applying for refinancing, I am informed of the XX/XX/XXXX entry in my credit report. This makes me ineligible to continue my application. 

I then contact LoanCare directly. I speak to representative XXXX. She tells me that this mistake happens sometimes with accounts that are in forbearance. She then guides me on how to submit a credit dispute to LoanCare.

After submitting the dispute, she informs me that it will take up to 30 days to receive a response. I ask if this review can be expedited and ask to speak to a manager. 

XXXX 's manager then comes on the line. The manager informs me that the because my account was behind when I entered into forbearance, then it is reported as behind. 

I correct her that I was not behind on payments before entering forbearance. 

She then seems to come up with a different explanation -- that when they transfer mortgage servicers they have to report accounts in forbearance as behind. 

I then remind her that this is violation of the forbearance agreement. As I'm explaining this she talks over me repeating the same explanation as before. Trying to make my case, the manager hangs up on the call as I'm speaking.

This is a violation of the FCRA and I am requesting the removal of the following paid accounts. Please see the dispute letters which are dated and time stamped.
