I asked by letter accounts The XXXX XXXX XXXX {$1800.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$460.00} ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$1000.00} be BLOCKED from my credit file under the FCRA section 605B. Talking with a Transunion rep on XXXX/2018 he informed me that Transunion does not block but dispute accounts.

XXXX closed our conversation by informing me that the website was wrong as is the FCRA section 605B. Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX  received my ID theft report and police report # on XXXX/2018. This fraudulent information should be block within 4 business days and notify the creditors.

However, there are times when an individual may face certain health issues that effects ones ability to pay their bills on time, or if a hospital stat limits the ability to stay on top of their affairs.

You may do a light audit on payments which might prove that I was paying within the 30-day grace period, but I will defer to your professionalism on this matter.

Consumer complaint received 2020-07-30
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
Last week, I applied for a streamlined VA mortgage refinance with my mortgage company, Wells Fargo. I was contacted by their representative, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ext. XXXX 

XXXX told me that he believe that I would not qualify for a this refinance because it would not lower my payment enough for me to recoup the cost of the loan within a specified time frame. I instructed him that I would pay all loan costs out of pocket at the time and to submit the application anyway. 

I was contacted, yesterday ( XX/XX/2020 ), by XXXX. He told me the loan was denied for the reason that he gave me earlier. I have yet to receive anything in writing from Wells Fargo. I insisted that he ensure that I do. 

There are multiple problems with XXXX and Wells Fargo 's assertion : 1. I already said I'd pay loan costs out of pocket, meaning that there would be nothing to recoup within ANY time-frame.

2. My current payment is nearly {$1200.00} monthly. Wells Fargo 's own online mortgage loan calculator tool shows my payment would most likely be less than $ XXXX monthly. There's no way that I wouldn't recoup my investment even if I hadn't instructed XXXX that I would pay the loan costs up-front. 

3. I've already pre-paid approximately {$20000.00} on my current loan. 

XXXX XXXX and Wells Fargo are not just wrong, they are perpetuating FRAUDULENT banking practices. There is no way that what they are doing is unintentional or some kind of innocent mistake. 

Wells Fargo even refuses to reamortize my loan, taking into account the funds paid toward principal. When I questioned Wells Fargo about this ( well before I submitted for a refinance ) I was told that they COULD NOT do it, and that federal government guidelines prohibited it. I suspected that to be another outright lie as I've had VA loans my whole life and never been declined an reamoritization ( normally, the bank does it on it's own ). 

Why is Wells Fargo intentionally committing fraud? I suspect it is because of complaints I have made to regarding past fraudulent practices.
