Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I sent a letter re : inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. It has been over 60 days and I have not received a response yet. I feel like I am being ignored and taken advantage of regarding my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) clearly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be promptly deleted.I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Furthermore, In accordance with The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public law 91-506, Title VI, Section 611, Subsection A-D, please provide the names and business addresses of each individual with whom you verified the above, so that I may follow up. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. This has really caused me a lot of stress and strain and I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation. 

I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file litigation.

Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC
State: NC
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2019 I closed on a cash out refinance with Quicken Loans. Out of the cash out refinance proceeds an IRS lien was to be paid ( {$48.00} XXXX ). The IRS provided clear instructions on how to mark the check and make successful payments in accordance with their provisions ( attached. I was assured that the payment would be sent. The turnaround time would be about 5 weeks. 

On XX/XX/2019 I contacted the IRS to learn whether the IRS had received the payment. XXXX tracking revealed that the payoff check had been received on XX/XX/2019 at XXXX. 

On XX/XX/2019 I contacted Quicken Loans to find out whether the IRS payoff check was deposited ; it was not. I was told that they would void the check and reissue. Thereafter, I asked whether my taxpayer ID ( social security number ) was included on the check or the payoff letter ; it was not, as required by the IRS. 

On XX/XX/2019 Quicken Loans advised me that they would not void the check because the IRS charges a fine for processing a check that is later dishonored. Quicken advised that any fee for stopping payment and correctly reissuing the check would be passed on to me. However, I relied on Quicken to correctly follow the instructions of the IRS. I offered to take the check into the local IRS branch, and was again told I would bear the responsibility of the penalty if they were to issue one on a stop payment. 
( continued on additional page ) I again reached out to Quicken Loans who pointed to the disbursement disclosure as a defense to what appears to be incompetent handling of the payout to the IRS. However, nowhere in the agreement does it say that Quicken Loans, or any of its agents can send payoffs, not following instructions, and leave me liable for any potential fees or penalties as a result of their not following the proper instructions. 

Thus far all indications are that Quicken, and its agents are giving the runaround, where there needs to be resolution. 

I authorize you to speak to my XXXX, XXXX XXXX, who can also be reached by calling my number. He helped me with all of the paperwork concerning this loan. I very much would like your assistance in helping me usher a resolution. Thus far, it seems like Quicken is shrugging its shoulders. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
PentFed Credit Union has been fraudulently reporting on all of my credit reports. I NEVER agreed to a loan with them, I simply applied for a refinance to my current vehicle and their response was to open a loan account on my behalf without even asking me if I agreed to their terms and without even telling me what their interest rate was. They sent me promissory note and check in the physical mail during this process, I was just waiting to see what my approval terms were, they would not tell me via their online messaging system or via email, stating that I would receive the info in the mail. I found it odd that I got a check in the mail and a promissory note along with instructions on how to change my title over instead of an approval letter FIRST. So I told them forget it, I do not want to proceed with an agency who does not know what they are doing ( this is not the first issue I had with them ). I never signed the note, nor cashed the check so I am EXTREMELY surprised to see that they are reporting on my credit reports!! I was wondering why I was getting denial letters from other car loan agencies stating I had too high revolving accounts, because I only have one car loan which I was refinancing for. So I check my reports and see it is because this " bank '' opened up a loan account and put it on my credit report! Now I have unnecessary dings on all three of my reports because of them! I have absolutely had it with this " bank ''! Which is why I am reporting them, so someone does something about their fraudulent actions.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Problem when making payments

Complaint:
So I hope this is the correct form. 
I tried this. It now pay later thing. ( Quadpay ) aka zip pay. You pay in 4 installments. These people are thieves. They charged my card for an item that was not delivered. I complained to the bank and they disputed the item. 
The card for the second installment was turned off as I had the bank replace it. Rather then them call me and ask whats going on, they fraudulently charged one of my other cards on file without my authorization. This is stealing. I dont understand how they can just do this. You ask not assume. Ive disputed the item again with the bank as its fraud. 

I just want people to be aware of things like this. This is completely unfair.

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX reported that I had a " major derogatory '' account 120 days past due to XXXX credit bureaus. I received an alert thru my credit monitoring service -- I have never received any communication about it or any amount owing whatsover from XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I opened an account with XXXX because I intended to port my number from a different carrier, but decided against it and closed my account with XXXX the same day I opened it, on XX/XX/XXXX.

I have never received any notice of any debt, statement, telephone call, email, or any communication from Convergent USA -- yet this alleged debt has been reported to the credit reporting bureaus.

Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: WA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
We 're in the process of selling our home. When we reviewed the settlement statement we noticed a charge of {$89.00} that was titled " Late Charge to Specialized Loan Servicing ''. We 've never been late on any payments so I called Specialized Loan Servicing for an explanation and was treated rudely and in a very condescending manner. This is ironic because I 'm very knowledgeable about real estate finance and it was easy for me to understand the reason for the problem, but the representatives I spoke with seemed to have great difficulty articulating the company 's position which was, in short, that because the payoff quote was good for up to 30 days, they were charging a late fee in anticipation that I 'd be late on my XX/XX/XXXXpayment, which was not yet due at the time of the payoff quote, but which we had in fact paid when it became due. Their tortured explanation caused me to further analyze the payoff quote to realize that not only were we being charged a late fee, but we were also not being credited for the XX/XX/XXXX payment. <P/>My simple request for an updated payoff quote was met with more rudeness, constant interruption, and condescension.

Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: NY
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Complaint:
To be brief, this letter concerns an issue with Sallie Mae and three student loans that I hold with them, which are only weeks away from moving into payment status. As outlined in the attached letter that was submitted to Sallie Mae, I am unable to pay the loans at this time, due to the financial circumstances of myself and my wife. I spent a great deal of time on the phone with them, prior to sending the letter. And, after they received the letter, I received a phonecall from Sallie Mae from what was called the Office of the Customer Advocate. This phonecall identified what I had already been told : they understand I have no money to pay them, but in order to process a forbearance/deferment on my loans, I would have to pay a {$50.00} good faith payment ( possibly for each of the three loans ) and go through the request process every three months. How they can demand money from me, when I have identified I have no money and am asking them for consideration, is beyond me. They also offered another alternative : that they can help me, but I have to let my loans first default. As identified in my letter, I am an Officer with a very large public institution and, as such, a public/civil servant. It is both outside of my nature and against my professional interests to have my student loans default. And, given that I have pinched every XXXX and cut every cost over these last few months, demanding money from me is as offensive as it is ridiculous. They are a for-profit organization profiteering off of those like me who seek higher education. And, here, they are attempting to profit off of my financial distress. I find the entire situation offensive, disrespectful, and ludicrous, which is why I now bring it to your attention.
