Complaint:
I have a right to contest any information on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate. I am contesting any information on my credit report that I believe is not accurate. The data included in this document must be documented and validated before it can go onto the actual reports! The allegations of delinquency and derogatoriness are without evidence, so I refuse to accept them as true. Let me take a moment to inform you that the reportability of this allegation has been challenged. It doesn't meet federal or state requirements for reporting, so please make sure it's as accurate and thorough in its entirety before submitting anything! The law requires that you make sure all of your claims are accurate and reported in the correct format. This is a great way to ensure compliance with regulations, so we hope this reminder helps! All of our information must be reported accurately and according with Metro 2 regulations or else you could face fines! AGAIN! Please take this seriously. I am writing to remind you that all your claims need accurate reporting in order for them be reported correctly, which is required by law ( FCRA ) and Metro 2 standards. For any account that is alleged to be delinquent or derogatory, I would like evidence showing why you and the company who provided the data to you consider the financial state as such. The law requires that I have proof of a permissible purpose for any inquiry within my report. Therefore, I am requesting that you verify permissible purpose was provided for each account and inquiry. The credit bureaus had 30 days to investigate this matter and confirm that it is being reported correctly or remove any errors from the report. I am looking forward to receiving your proof of action and my updated credit report.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NV
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
When I moved in a renter to my home I asked that all correspondence go to my new address except the mortgage payment. They were sending the notice that Wells Fargo was paying the taxes unbeknownst to me. The renter was to be paying the taxes, and was lying about paying it. 
Also that it was always late, and there were multiple late fees which went against my credit. The bank was dealing with the renter, not me. 
When I went to sell it I didnt realize on the 2nd mortgage there were additional monies owed, and the realtor said it was up to me to know. I ended up having to pay {$12000.00} to the buyer because I was never notified that Wells Fargo was paying the taxes.

Company: HW Holding, Inc
State: TX
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I have tried many times to contact XXXX at the XXXX XXXX ( apartment company in XXXX, Texas ) in regards to an outstanding debt ( {$270.00} ) however they are very unresponsive. This debt of {$270.00} is from XX/XX/2022 and it pertains to my last month staying at the apartment. I was invoiced on XX/XX/2022 and tried to pay however because I was no longer a resident I did not have an option to pay via the portal. I repeatedly tried to call the front office so that I could ask how I could pay, given that I no longer stay in XXXX and the portal was not working, but no response. I then emailed the front office ( via their website ) on XX/XX/2022 asking how I could pay the outstanding charges but again, there was no response. I kept calling but they remain unresponsive. I even tried today ( XX/XX/2022 ) and no one picks up the phone. This was also an issue when I lived there, they are very unresponsive and seem to ignore their customers. 

As a result, {$270.00} was sent to collections and is now being reflected on my credit report. How could I be at fault for this when I have been actively trying to pay and have been ignored for so long? If they were to pick up the phone this would have been resolved a long time ago and all of this could have been prevented. Instead here I am now dealing with nonstop calls from what I assume to be a debt collector ( Hunter Warfield ). Also, I have not received any official notice informing me of this debt, I had to dig into my credit report to even realize this debt existed.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
These accounts listed are the issue XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Pursuant to the Fair Credit Billing Act, A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. These accounts listed have billing errors. This is not a refusal to pay but a notice that this alleged debt is disputed. I respectfully request these companies provide me with documentary evidence validating this alleged debt. If no such evidence of indebtedness exists, and the only indebtedness is by agreement, these companies can not lawfully furnish this inaccurate negative information to the credit reporting agencies. The United States is bankrupt. If these alleged debts are valid, what authority do they have to collect this debt in the United States? If these alleged debts can not be validated and turns out to be an extension of credit, that would make the negative information provision in any agreement between us VOID and UNENFORCEABLE. Do these accounts include a finance charge? If so, does the finance charge include a premium that protects the creditor in case of default? Has any insurance been filed on these accounts? If a 1099c or any insurance has been filed on this account, you have no right to continue furnishing this inaccurate information to coerce repayment of this extension of credit. The continued reporting of these inaccurate information 's would constitute a breach of fiduciary duty. Since there is no law under the Fair Credit Reporting Act requiring these financial institutions and creditors to report negative information to a consumer reporting agency, these companies knowingly are reporting inaccurate information to the consumer reporting agencies. Reporting information with reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate VIOLATES the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT. These companies policy do not supersede Federal Law. I am demanding these charge offs be UPDATED to PAID AS AGREED with a {$0.00} balance and a DELETION of all negative information be submitted to the credit reporting agencies immediately to prevent my consumer credit reputation from receiving further harm.
