Furthermore in supplying the name of the person that committed Identity Theft against me. The re-reporting of XXXX XXXX which violates the FCRA and is Identity Theft. 

Experian is violating the law and my rights on a daily basis. Dealing with an Identity Theft account I have been disputing for months. By Experian doing this to me, they are doing it to other consumers that rely on their credit, especially those that are Victim of Identity Theft. Experian has totally violated, ignored, and denied my legal dispute letters for months. Especially a consumer that is a Victim of Identity Theft. Experian has NOT followed Section 605B of the FCRA. I have followed Section 605B of the FCRA in supplying all documents needed to be in accordance and in compliance with Section 605B of the FCRA of Identity Theft. Experian has denied Section 605B of the FCRA. Here is a summary of the key provisions of Section 605B : 1. Blocking Information : If a consumer submits an identity theft report to a consumer reporting agency ( CRA ) stating that information on their credit report resulted from identity theft, the CRA must block that information from their credit report. This is aimed at preventing fraudulent or inaccurate information from harming the victim 's credit.

2. Duration of Block : The CRA must block the information within four business days after receiving the identity theft report.

3. Notice to Furnishers : Once the CRA has blocked the information, it must promptly notify the furnisher of the blocked information, which is typically the creditor or entity that provided the disputed information to the CRA.

4. Duties of Furnishers : The furnisher is then prohibited from reporting the blocked information to any other CRA without notice that the information is disputed and may be fraudulent.

5. Extension of Block : The block on information can be extended upon the consumer 's request or based on certain criteria. Section 605B is an important provision for victims of identity theft, as it allows them to take steps to prevent fraudulent accounts and information from damaging their credit reports. If you believe you are a victim of identity theft, it's important to follow the procedures outlined in the FCRA, including providing an identity theft report to the CRAs to block the fraudulent information.

State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I applied for and was granted a loan modification on a home I inherited. XX/XX/XXXX, I called Bank of America 's automated system, to make my 2nd mortgage payment. The payment amount requested was {$290.00} more than the regular monthly payment. I call customer service and the rep said " the additional $ XXXX is the fee charged by the foreclosure attorney, but the good news, you're not required to pay it immediately, you can pay it whenever you are able ''. 

How is an extra $ XXXX good news? 

I read the modification docs I signed, and the bank accepted. There is no mention of that charge anyplace. I told the rep that and she said " we are not allowed to put that in the modification contract, but you have to pay it ''. I asked to speak with my CRM. The rep left a message for my manager, but told me, my CRM will tell me the same thing. 

I am at a loss. I have been working on this modification for a year, and this fee has never been mentioned. 

Bank of America is just able to apply a fee that has never been discussed?

Sub-product: Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
I applied for a HELOC with US Bank and they did not provide disclosures on time as required under TILA and Reg Z. I have tried for over a week to provide documents to my loan processor, however she first suggested I send the documents to her in an unsecure method via email. I advised I would need a secure way, and she advised she would set me up on a portal. I have tried multiple times to use this portal, however it is not set up where I can send messages. I have tried calling and I am placed on long holds without resolution. I feel like this is an unfair and abusive practice - I have been placed on many holds without resolution. I am trying to supply what I need to move forward with my mortgage - i am unsure if they are stalling because they know I am in a same sex marriage, or if there is another reason they are purposely delaying this application. At this time, I have been on hold with this XXXX number for 18 minutes and counting. I was transferred here from a sales line, which I was able to get through on in 2 minutes, and was assured their office in XXXX, OR would be able to respond. I am about to hang up and withdraw my application, but I feel like the CFPB should investigate their Reg Z and UDAAP violations.
