Complaint:
HELP!!!! Need urgent reply. 
1. All 3 credit agencies were asked in writing and verbally to remove a medical collection of {$75.00} and show it was paid. I have cancelled check ( ck # XXXX payable to XXXX XXXX XXXX., that cleared my bank XX/XX/2017. Found out later they had turned it in to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and told XXXX XXXX XXXX that I paid it direct ) XXXX & TransUnion totally removed it. XXXX still shows that I owe {$75.00} to them and shows me as being delinquent by 2 yrs. 6 mths. I want this corrected. I have tried both by phone and in writing.

2. I am also in process of getting a mortgage. I have done what is recommended by comparing 3 diff. mtg. companies, according to your booklet ( Your Home Loan Toolkit, A Step-by-Step Guide ) but now I have numerous hard inquiries being reported due to these mtg. comparisons. Except for hard inquiries, XXXX has made corrections and kept all my report information accurate, but shows 9 hard inquiries in past 2 years ( more about this below in item # 2 about auto shopping ) TransUnion is showing 7 hard inquiries and XXXX shows the most at 11. XXXX has not  corrected hard inquiries when I leased a car 2 years ago. In 3 days I shopped at 2 different dealerships. One pulled credit twice and the other dealership pulled 3 times, with companies like XXXX. 
In my planning to get a mtg over the past year, I have monitored my reports and had any errors corrected. In addressing these hard inquiries for car shopping, XXXX is the only one that didnt reduce my hard pulls due to car shopping within a 7 day time frame. The other 2 agencies made an effort by removing a few of them out of 5 auto hard pulls. Plus I never gave these dealerships permission to check multiple places. The salesman asked if they could check my credit and I said XXXX. Now I have the same issue with mtg shopping. And all the pulls say they are for home mtg. 
My FICO score with XXXX, has dropped to XXXX. But my TransUnion has dropped to XXXX as of yesterday. And XXXX has dropped me to less than that at XXXX, all mostly due to the 3 mtg companies doing hard inquiries. 
3. NOW MY URGENT ISSUE!!!! 
I have been approved for mtg but the HOA requires a FICO of over 700 to buy/live in their community. They just received my application and will probably be pulling my credit today and they will most likely deny my application to live there. Until the mtg companies started their hard pulls all my scores were above 700.  HELP!!!! I do not have calendar time to deal with this without help. Everything takes 30 days with credit reporting agencies. The HOA is not going to wait on that. However, help right now with any of this should pull my other rates up over 700 to where they before I Started shopping for a mtg.
