State: TX
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: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act. The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. 

Account name : # XXXX # XXXX has violated my rights. 

15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions 15 U.S.C 1681c. ( a ) ( 5 ) Section States : no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 


I have called and spoken with customer service of XXXX, and I have filed disputes with XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX with no resolution. When I asked about speaking to management, I was told they do not speak with the public. 
Both are charge-off accounts. However, one credit bureau says it's a collection account. 

When I called, I was told that one CHARGE OFF account was recently sold to a collection agency called XXXX XXXX 

Incorrect and inconsistent amounts are listed on each bureau related to dates opened, Information is listed differently related to secured loans, collection, and charge off. 

The balance has been increasing, which should not be due to it being charged off. It should be continuously reporting a charge-off monthly, nor should it be accumulated interest if it has been charged off already. 

If the account has been sold, it should be deleted, as this will be double jeopardy in reporting two duplicate accounts on my report. Especially if one has been charged off and you have legally taken it as a loss with IRS. 

The consistent inaccurate reporting on my credit report over the past several years needs to be fixed by removing these XXXX accounts. I have tried to rectify this over the past 60 days.

State: OH
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
XX/XX/ I needed to log into my existing membership account with Experian to lift a credit freeze which I placed on the account through their online website. 

I could not log into my online account with Experian. I could not recover my username or password through their online processes as their website indicated that my SSN and birthdate did not match. This left me with other option than to contact Experian via telephone. I called every customer service telephone number provided by Experian and in most every call their automated phone system would not connect me to a live person / agent and directed back to their website to reset my username and password. Somehow, after 30 minutes of multiple calls to their customer service dept., I was connected to a live person/agent ( I have no recollection of how I got to this person ). I was told by this agent that my membership was no longer active and as such my online account had been disabled ( I had never been notified of this previously ). I was not told why my membership was disabled. To reactivate the membership I was then required to go through a series of unfair security questions, which apparency required that my responses were 100 % accurate in order for my membership to be reactivated over the phone. I was asked 6-7 extremely difficult questions by this agent who spoke very poor English and was hard to understand. Despite what I thought were correct responses to all of the questions, I was denied access to reestablishing my membership. I was then told that I in order to reestablish my membership I needed to send copies of my Social Security card, driver 's license, and a recent utility bill with proof of my home address to a physical location for Experian in Texas by US mail ( How insecure is that! My SS card, driver 's license, etc. being sent in an envelope by US Mail to Experian ... what a joke and a completely dangerous manner of keeping my personal information secure ). I was not told what would happen next other than upon receipt of this information I would be sent an email or receive a telephone call regarding my membership. 

I'm XXXX XXXX old and I have never experienced more frustrating and poor customer service by a company that should be here to serve its customers. Experian has exceptional control over our personal information and credit reporting, yet they make it next to impossible to get access to our personal information via their online website or in speaking with an employee in their customer service department. 

This is unacceptable and needs to be changed. Experian is holding consumer information hostage from the very people who own the data and need it to fulfill their personal and financial obligations.

Complaint:
I have made multiple attempts in writing and via telephone to Experian in an effort to request that they fix an issue that does not allow me to initiate disputes on my file for information that is incorrect. I have a paid service, and over the past year or so, I have received no resolution. 

I have petition this organization - CFPB - for help as well. 

Nearly every attempt to solicit assistance from Experian has resulted in misinformation, call transfers to other departments and/or transfers to individuals who claim they can not help me. 

When I attempt to initiate a dispute, I get an error message. The problem has existed for quite some time.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: NJ
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Other type of mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
My son purchase a home 3 1/2 years ago. At some point New Res LLC took over the mortgage. In XX/XX/XXXX my son wanted to refinance the mortgage as the rates were lower. Since he was furloughed from work due to Covid-19 my husband and & were to cosign the loan. The paper work was submitted on XX/XX/XXXX. We were assigned a senior mortgage consultant who requested certain information which we supplied. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted the consultant as to the status of the application and was advised the processors were very busy. I again contacted her on XX/XX/XXXX and received the same reply. On XX/XX/XXXX, we received an email that the loan application was conditionally approved. We had a new consultant and a new processor. They now asked for many additional documents. As we own multiple properties and vacant land the documentation list was outrageous. Nothing we own has a mortgage, we have no debt. The amount my son is looking to refinance is less than the value of our primary home. The company is looking for insurance on vacant land. This has become a nightmare. We provided some documentation. Our dividends and bank accounts can more than cover the refinanced amount. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted the processor who needed more information and the new XXXX tax return, plus things we already submitted. 
On XX/XX/XXXX we send additional information. On XX/XX/XXXX, I again sent an email & telephone call to the processor who said delay due to high volume. On XXXX same answer. On XX/XX/XXXX we received a Loan Commitment & Property Inspection Waiver disclosure to sign which we did and returned to the processor. Since then on XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX I contact the processor but receive no answer. This is totally unacceptable. this company needs to be investigated. Because we have assets we have been scrutinized to such an extreme level for everything we own. No refinancing should every take this long to complete.

Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Hello CFPB, I previously submitted a complaint to the CFPB regarding this issue. Supposedly the company responded to the CFPB, but I was unable to access anything b/c the CFPB didn't have my contact information correct to be able to match to the complaint and create an online CFPB account. I tried faxing my correct contact information to the CFPB but it appears that now the account/complaint has been closed. That complaint number was XXXX. The complaint to the CFPB was submitted on XX/XX/XXXX. 

My issue is with the credit reporting on a student loan I have with XXXX XXXX. They have incorrectly reported to credit agencies that I have not made payments, when I have, and the balance is incorrect as well. I have been making on-time payments since XX/XX/XXXX and these- and the decreasing balance- have not been correctly reported to credit agencies. This has majorly affected my credit score- and that of my co-signor as well. I tried working with XXXX XXXX directly but they were unable to fix it and asked me to officially dispute. 

I sent my original complaint directly to XXXX XXXX, via first class and certified mail, to three separate addresses supplied by XXXX. One of the address was the address reported by them on my credit report. The other two addresses were off their website. I have yet to receive any sort of response directly from XXXX and it has been almost two months.
