I am asking CFPB to assist me in having this item removed from my credit report due to age/history.

Company: DISCOVER BANK

Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Getting the loan

Complaint:
Discover Bank uses unfair lending practices to deny credit to consumers. I applied for a debt consolidation loan on today and was instantly approved. After completing the application, authorizing them to complete the hard pull on my bureaus, and providing my account information for the accounts I planned to pay off, I was informed by the rep XXXX that my loan was declined. As a licensed lender, I was surprised that my loan application was declined since I have exceptional credit history and the means to repay the loan but the reason does not make sense from a lending standpoint. I am a victim of identity theft and have alerts on all of my bureaus that state whenever a credit inquiry is to be made on my SSN, I am to be contacted by phone ( at a number I have had for over 20 years ) for verification which I have never had any issues with until today. I was told that when my bureaus were pulled, my phone number is not reflected in the fraud alert ( which I know is there ) and that Discover is protecting me, the victim, by declining the loan. I have never heard of such a reason in all my years as a lender and there is no secondary procedure for a person who is a victim ; the rep also mentioned that Discover was having issues with the format of their reports that they received on the recorded line. I feel that Discover is using a bs excuse to unjustly deny credit to those who qualify according to their matrix and is horribly designed to promote prejudice for people who did not choose to be victims but chose on the other hand to protect themselves. I also personally called the bureaus to verify my alerts and the information listed within the statements only to be proved correct as I am very organized and aware when it comes to handling my credit.

Complaint:
Subject : Unauthorized Reporting and Request for Correction of Credit Information Dear XXXX, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding unauthorized reporting and the inclusion of a new address on my credit profile. Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed that you have added an address without my explicit consent, and my new auto loan is being reported without proper authorization. 

I would like to draw your attention to the following legal references that support my request for rectification : 1. **15 USC 6801-6808 - Duty to Keep Financial Information Private and Opt Out of Reporting : ** This statute emphasizes the duty to maintain the privacy of financial information and the consumer 's right to opt out of certain information sharing practices. 

2. **15 USC 1681 - Accuracy of Report : ** This section of the law pertains to the accuracy and fairness of credit reporting, emphasizing the responsibility of credit reporting agencies to ensure that information is reported accurately. 

3. **Privacy Act of 1974 : ** This federal law establishes principles for the fair handling of personal information by federal agencies. I believe the unauthorized addition of an address and reporting of my auto loan may violate the privacy principles outlined in this act.

Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 6802, I hereby notify you that I am opting out of any and all authorization, whether written, non-written, verbal, or non-verbal, that I may have given you as the consumer. I assert my right to control the dissemination of my financial information, as outlined in the aforementioned statutes. 

I kindly request your prompt investigation into this matter and the immediate correction of my credit information to reflect accurate and authorized details. I appreciate your attention to this issue and expect your timely response.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: AK
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
Freedom Mortgage has consistently sent letters suggesting that I can lower my mortgage rate by refinancing since XXXX. In late XXXX XXXX XXXX I spoke with someone at the company about the process and what would be required to refinance from an FHA loan into a conventional loan. I was told it was a simple process, would not require much work on my end and we could close in XXXX. 

When I started the process in XXXX the employee who originated the loan overvalued my house. We were not told that we would have to have an appraisal done- in fact the original person indicated we could have an appraisal waived. 

Since XXXX we have sent in document after document and theyve been lost by Freedom Mortgage every single time. I've had multiple people assigned to this loan and no one can give me clear answers on what's going on with the loan. 

Because the originator overvalued our home and the appraisal came in " under value '' we were contacted by Freedom Mortgage letting us know that this would cause some issues with the loan and it might be better to just restart the process. After confirming that it might not be that big of a deal and would only impact escrow we moved forward with the original loan package. It was once again, reassigned. 

During this time we've been repeatedly asked for documentation showing that we have cash to close, despite repeatedly telling Freedom Mortgage we were interested in rolling that into the loan itself. We are now almost three full months after this initial process and we are once again being told that we have to provide documentation and cash to close - even after signing paperwork that rolled that cash into the loan on XX/XX/XXXX. I have tried to contact managers, consumer advocates, the loan originator on file and have not received timely responses or answers regarding why this package is so messed up or whats going on. It does not seem as if Freedom Mortgage has lenders that are truthful or if they even know what's happening with our loan. They consistently lose documents, have not honored the loan package we were sold, have not communicated the why behind the loan we are being sold, selling us this experience as an easy and fast process that will lower our monthly payment and at the end of the day I may not even be able to complete this process because of their inability to do their job.
