Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
I still have not seen results to an investigation into the items I believe to be inaccurate on my report. This is the second complaint I have had to make about the lack of response. My first was made on XX/XX/2020 and was accompanied by a dispute submitted directly to XXXX, Experian and XXXX. The complaint numbers were XXXX ( XXXX ), XXXX ( XXXX ) and XXXX ( Experian ). While I understand that there is a pandemic which can cause delays, I have not received anything from them since my first dispute on XX/XX/2020. This is not a delay : this is negligence on the part of XXXX, Experian and XXXX, enabled by the disastrous dismantling of regulation by you, the CFPB, in regard to the bureaus ' legal requirement to respond to a dispute within 30-45 days. There is no good faith effort by and of the bureaus to resolve anything, even after filing a complaint for getting no responses! I'm also aware that there was public data released showing a 550 % increase in complaints to the CFPB about this very issue compared to this time last year. XXXX, Experian and XXXX must be held accountable and to the standards clearly outlined in the FCRA.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
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:
I have made numerous complaints about this XXXX charge-off account with no real assistance from XXXX other than some mailed statements. 

XXXX has charged off this account XXXX years ago, which means a 1099c was submitted. However, I have yet to receive a copy of the 1099c for the charge-off which is fraud. 

XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax are all reporting charge-off accounts on my credit report on top of all reporting different information which means it is also inaccurate and misleading and an additional reason why this needs to be removed from the credit report. The IRS defines a charge-off or a 1099c as gross or ordinary income. Income does not get reported on the consumer report. By reporting this as a charge off on my consumer report, it now becomes an inaccurate account which is now under 15 U.S.C 1681e ( b ) which speaks on maximum accuracy of the consumer report. This inaccurate accounting must be deleted from my credit report.

Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: MI
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage
Sub-issue: Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue related to modification, forbearance, short sale, deed-in-lieu, bankruptcy, or foreclosure

Complaint:
Every XXXX I receive an escrow analysis for my home that I purchased on XX/XX/XXXX. Huntington had been paying insurance and taxes on my home with my monthly mortgage payment. 

I was very curious this XX/XX/XXXX because I wanted to know what my new payment would be after covid and everything generally increasing. My payment went from around {$500.00} to {$900.00} a month because there was a negative balance in my escrow. I later found out that my taxes had not been paid to the city of XXXX for almost XXXX years. I actually received a letter from the XXXX of XXXX stating I was subject to losing my home. I had no clue any of this was happening. 

After calling and speaking with numerous people, I learned a parcel was " missed. '' This was their exact words. And I'm baffled since they had been paying every year with no problems since I moved in. 

Now, I am scrambling to figure out how I will pay my new monthly payment when this is NOT my fault. I already got another part time job in addition to teaching full time. 

An apology would be great, as they have yet to admit to their HUGE errors, but I also have requested all my documents showing that they have paid the taxes since XXXX, and a resolution that is reasonable and affordable. 

They sent me a refund check late in XXXX. This was probably done in error. Shouldn't I only be responsible to pay that back? I'm still not sure what happened in XXXX. They are doing a review, and I am trying to patiently wait, while my supposed new payment of exactly {$930.00} is due XX/XX/XXXX.

One way or the other one of these collectors is lying.
