Complaint:
Re : XXXX XXXX XXXX, Acct. # : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I sent a letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/22 certified mail tracking # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that illegal information is being reported by them on my credit report specifically, my credit utilization. 

In response, I received a letter from them ( attached ) stating that my request was received, reviewed and sent updated information about my recent payment to the consumer reporting agencies. THIS IS NOT WHAT MY INITIAL CORRESPONDENCE WITH THEM WAS CONCERNING. They further encouraged me to reach out to the credit bureaus to have each of them update their records. 

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE AS THE REPORTING OF CREDIT UTILIZATION IS ILLEGAL.

Consumer complaint received 2018-02-15
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MI
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I have a thirty year ARM ( adjustable rate mortgage ) with Fifth Third Bank. 
The mortgage was given in XX/XX/XXXX with an annual rate adjustment every XX/XX/XXXX. 
There have been no problems with this process and I have never missed a payment in 12 years. 
Last year I received my " change of rate notification '' letter in XX/XX/XXXX. 
This letter stated that my then current rate of 3.5 % would change according to the agreed upon formula to the new rate of 4.00000 %, effective with the XX/XX/XXXX payment. The monthly payments would now be {$1000.00} until the next scheduled adjustment in XX/XX/XXXX. 
We have an Auto-Pay arrangement and Fifth Third draws the exact amount from our XXXX XXXX checking account on the XX/XX/XXXX. 
My monthly paper statements reflected this rate through XX/XX/XXXX. 
In XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX informing me that the Bank discovered an error on my account and that the interest rate disclosure statement should have been 4,125 %. However, my payment would not change and Fifth Third will pay the difference between the two rates until XX/XX/XXXX. 
In XX/XX/XXXX I noticed that my credit rating dropped 89 points from XXXX  to XXXX due to an alleged " missed '' mortgage payment! 
The Bank statement send to me in XX/XX/XXXX is a total mystery to me. For the Due date of XX/XX/XXXX alone, there are six entries with various codes, some of which are not disclosed. My attempt to get clarification via phone conversations with four different persons has resulted only in more confusion. 
The bank has since then acknowledged that they reported the missed payment erroneously to the credit bureau and issued a letter of correction. 
While the Bank has acknowledged that they made a mistake and my payment would not be effected, they are calculating with the 4.125 % rate and therefore getting different P/I amounts which are effecting our outstanding Balance. My calculations at 4 % interest differ from the Banks calculation by {$71.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX.

There are two charges on the same amounts of {$240.00} on XX/XX/2022 on my credit card statement. 
I have contacted Home Depot and they showed me that this receipt appears only once on their system. They suggested me that, it is probably on City Bank account double entered.

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 am attaching relevant information regarding the agency. This is NOT a duplicate report, as they gave a " canned '' answer to the last filing, saying they did not have specific information despite it being provided dozens of times. They continues to report a " XXXX XXXX '' account despite it clearly being fraudulent, as well as a XXXXXXXX XXXX account. These items should be blocked if the company will not do so itself. There is CLEAR OVERWHELMING evidence that I was a victim of widespread fraud. 

I am also attaching several letters addressing other fraudulent accounts where XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX have noted the items are fraud and I should not be held responsible for them. They include XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX accounts. 

There are also multiple POSITIVE items missing from my report. I have contacted XXXX XXXX as they have two cards and only one is being reported. They are sending BOTH cards to all three agencies. 

I have also called XXXX and they are reporting to all three agencies but all are not reporting that account. 

These would help my scores as I have never missed payemts, etc. 

I have attached those accounts as well.

Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MI
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
I had a debit card provided by an employer ( XXXX XXXX that was stolen from me around XX/XX/2022. On XX/XX/XXXX, I became aware that the money on my card was used by someone else for {$800.00}, from XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. 
After calling and reporting this issue to Comdata ( the bank issuing my XXXX XXXX ), I was instructed to dispute each transaction online. Then I received an email from a comdata representative basically telling me to investigate my own case by calling each business my card was used at, ask about there refund terms, and ask if they would be willing to issue me refund. My problem is I do not believe my card company is trying nearly enough to dispute or replace the money I worked hard for. 

I followed their instructions even though it was difficult to try and talk over the phone with business about my card being used. Most of the businesses asked why does my card company have me reaching out to them, and that if fraud really did happen, that their card services would have to refund me. Im almost 100 percent sure comdata should not be instructing users of there service to figure out if they can get a refund. 

Attached is a picture of the email instructions Comdata sent to me filing after disputes.

I am writing to formally dispute and register a complaint regarding multiple erroneous late accounts entries on my credit report, which continue to negatively impact my creditworthiness. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the disputed entries for your reference. I have diligently reviewed my credit report and have identified multiple instances where accounts that are marked as late are still inaccurately reported as such. I have made every effort to rectify this situation by contacting the respective creditors and the credit reporting agencies, but to no avail. 

I would like to emphasize that these late payments are not a true reflection of my financial responsibility. I have consistently made on-time payments for these accounts, and I have the documentation to support these claims. It is crucial that my credit report accurately reflects my creditworthiness, as these inaccuracies have begun to affect my ability to secure financing and achieve my financial goals. 

I kindly request that you investigate these discrepancies promptly and initiate the necessary corrections to my credit report as per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Please conduct a thorough review of the account 's information provided and ensure that it accurately represents my payment history. If the investigation reveals that these late payments are indeed erroneous, I request that they be correct them from my credit report immediately. 

Additionally, I request that you provide me with a written response within 30 days of receiving this complaint, detailing the actions taken to rectify this matter. These late open accounts should be corrected by the credit bureaus right away : XXXX XXXX Balance : {$3500.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$5100.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$10000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$110.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$3500.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$5100.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$10000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$110.00} DP OF EDUC XXXX Balance : {$7200.00} DP OF EDUC XXXX Balance : {$6800.00} DP OF EDUC XXXX Balance : {$3900.00} DP OF EDUC XXXX Balance : {$6700.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$3500.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$5100.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$10000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$370.00}.
