Complaint:
The collection on the credit report has not been erased. This debt was paid since XX/XX/2019, and should have never appeared on the credit report as a collection to start with since it was paid. 
I told them I want the mistake removed from the credit report ASAP and provided proof of payment. The company verified that payment was received. 
I told them I need a letter that states that they received payment and it will be removed from my account. they never replied to me. I am in the process of getting a loan and this is slowing it down. they said they would delete it and they have not and are violating the fair credit reporting act.

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

Complaint:
This company is not putting the accounts in question in disputes unless I call in and spend 2 hours minimum on the phone trying to get it done. They continue to state that they need me to send in certain documents but ignore my documents for 3 months and demand I send them again before my disputes can be looked at. All they say is that the back office team needs to look over the documents but fail to comply with notifying myself of the disputes and continue to spam me with mail requesting my license and other information Ive sent over several times in the last 11 months. 

I am gathering all of this proof carefully and very organized to pursue litigation with the help of my lawyer. 

By reporting these inaccuracies you are in violation of 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) ; for a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstance and no other : in accordance with the written instructions to the consumer to whom it relates. 
EQUIFAX has in fact knowingly furnished my consumer report with inaccuracies multiple times without having wet ink, written instructions to do so. These actions have caused my family and i great deal of injury. 
Furthermore, I am filing this consumer complaint and consumer check for compliance of these particular items that you are reporting under XXXX XXXX XXXX sec. XXXX.

Complaint:
The XXXX XXXX credit card account XXXX that appears on my credit report was charged off in XXXX of XXXX and has reflected as such every month since XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. The account now shows as being charged off in XXXX of XXXX and shows that I was 30/60/90 days late as recently as XX/XX/XXXX. This is incorrect information the account was charged off since XXXX, you can not be late on a charged off account and this is further negatively affecting my credit score as it shows I have recent late payments. Please remove this account for reporting inaccuracies to my credit report. I have attached images of the accounts reporting before and after I settled the debt.

Complaint:
Since XX/XX/2019, I've been trying to get a few debts removed from my credit report. I've been disputing debts from XXXX, XXXX on my Experian credit report. I've been blocked by Experian to where I can't file another dispute with them and I've stated in each dispute and in a direct email that I never received a bill for these debts and that keeping fraudulent debts on my credit report is illegal and would be reported. To date, they still choose not to reply and not to remove them. I've contacted both Experian and XXXX and asked for information about these debts and I've received nothing from either one.. I want Experian ordered to remove these fraudulent debts from my credit report or to be held liable along with XXXX, XXXX if they do not comply. It's really quite difficult for a debt to be considered valid or verified if the consumer never received a bill or any information about the alleged debt.

Company: LD Holdings Group, LLC
State: AZ
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
We pay our mortgage through an automated XXXX XXXX system that is scheduled monthly. We've been paying our mortgage successfully and on time for over a year. In few months ago we received a letter saying we were late on our payment. I checked my bank documents and it was sent at the same time as every other month. There was no reason why my payment should be anywhere close to late. 
But you see LoanDepot decided to have two servicing offices. Which seems like no big deal but we had to change a bunch of things. Our payment address changed, our account number changed and we even had to sign in online to a totally new area because we had to create a new online account. This is ridiculous. The new servicing office doesn't have a way to electronically take payments from the bank so now every payment we make clears our account and doesn't get processed until 2-3 weeks after it's been sent. I feel like they are purposely making it hard to do business with them in order to make more money on late and interest fees. I would be wary of doing business with them again. 
If CFPB did an audit on loanDepot I bet they would find an astounding amount of customers that had issues after splitting into different servicing offices. They know what they are doing isn't illegal so who cares, right? I do. Hopefully something will change, for the better, soon.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
This is not a duplicate complaint and I'm not using any third party for this matter. I checked my credit report and noticed some inquiries from companies that I did not give consent to access my credit reports ; I am very concerned about all activity going on with my credit reports these days. I immediately demand the removal of these inquiries to avoid any confusion as I DID NOT initiate these inquires or give any form of consent electronically, in person, or over the phone. 
I am fully aware that without permissible purpose no entity is allowed to pull my credit unless otherwise noted in section 604 of the FTCRA. Inquiries that are made by someone else without my authorization is not a factual record of access to my credit file, it is a factual record of fraudulent activity, and it must be addressed as such. The reason that these inquiries are being disputed is because they were not made by me, and when I report this to you, it is your responsibility to investigate my claims, and when you can not prove that these inquiries were made by me, they must be removed from my credit file. It is not my responsibility to go directly to each creditor, the obligation lies at your feet because you are reporting inaccurate information within my credit report, and this violates the FCRA. 
I have filed FTC report for this matter and I'm asking you to remove these fraudulent posted on my report hard inquiries : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry : XXXX. XXXX, XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX THEY MUST BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY. I am well aware of my rights as a consumer. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that you, the credit-reporting agency, report accurate and/or information within my credit file. My credit issues are very specific, this item not mine. This means that you are reporting incorrect information within my credit report. It is with this in mind that I request that this listed item be DELETED! Policy states I have included here : copy of my SSN, ID, proof of address and FTC REPORT. I HAVE INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE : copy of FTC REPORT, COPY OF my DL, SSN, proof of address.
