Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
As you can see from the numerous complaints I have filed against the 3 credit bureaus. Each time they attempt to make changes to my credit report it continues to make my report WORSE! 

I feel like I am being stalked. If I apply for credit it instantly and I do mean instantly hits my credit report and it makes my score go down. When I pay the credit down or off, it makes my credit score go down and it takes at least 30 days to see the impact. 

I take exception to creditors determing when and whom I apply for credit with. No one, except me knows my goals or objectives. Just some unintelligent folks trying to determine them for ME? If the credit system would have analyst that could really analyze we might make some progress. 

I still have not obtained my first goal - REFINANCE MY EXISTING XXXX XXXX XXXX Mortgage. Thanks to the 3 Unfair Credit Bureaus providing inaccurate information, I did not QUALIFY. ( NOT TRUE ) Had the credit information been correctly reported, I would have my refinance and have {$1900.00} more in my account monthly and be paying {$1900.00} less per month for a MORTGAGE PAYMENT. 

Being that I am Retiring and planned on my Retirement Car Purchase after the Refinance I now have to get the vehicle having to qualify with a different SCENARIO! 
What's XXXX about that? 

NOT FAIR NOT FAIR! So much for the Fair Credit Reporting Act! 

I Demand that EVERY creditor I applied for Credit With be sent my corrected CREDIT REPORT and that I be CC 'd with the Scores and an explanation from them as to why I did not but would have Qualified given the correct informationl. 

I am going to say it again -- - The Credit Reporting System needs a Total Revitalization to be Viable in the changing financial environment! 

I am document the nonsense that has occurred since I starting investigating my credit report. In addition, due to the incorrect information the bureaus reported, creditors unfairly reduced my credit lines without justification. What's fair about that? 

I just want to live my life without feeling like I am being XXXX! That's how it feels. 

I wonder how many consumers there are that can not be as persistent at me. 

Do they ever answer the consumer 's questions. Resilient Score- Really. 

My Credit Report should REFLECT : Good Credit Risk Pays On Time Pays Most Long term bills Ahead of Maturity Dates Had financial challenges Overcame them Resilient Networth Vastly Exceeds Debts NEXT?

Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint:
I have a boat loan with M & T Bank. The required monthly payment is {$370.00}. My loan balance in XXXX XXXX was {$34000.00}. Since XXXX XXXX until XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I 've made {$3700.00} toward this loan. I usually make {$200.00} every two weeks. I have not checked on my loan account because I thought I have made monthly payment more than the requirement. Today I checked on my loan account online, and I found out my loan balance is still same as in XXXX XXXX, which is {$34000.00}. My loan balance has not gone down even a penny. All my payments made to this loan went straight to interest, not a penny was deducted toward my loan principle. I called and asked them why all my payments went to interest, nothing has gone to the principle. They told me all my payments of {$200.00} did n't meet the required minimum payment of {$370.00} ( even though my monthly payment was {$400.00} ), so all payments of {$200.00} went to interest.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account terms

Complaint:
I filed bankruptcy XX/XX/XXXX and several debts that were discharged now show they were " charged off '' after the bankruptcy. My disputes for each account to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX credit reporting agencies as well as attempts to resolve directly with the creditors have failed. Each agency and creditor refuse to correct the information and cite that it is " accurate ''. These accounts were not charged off prior to my bankruptcy. They began reporting a charge off after my bankruptcy. This results in each of the accounts being identified as derogatory with a charge off after my bankruptcy. This is a significant factor for lenders who review my credit report because they see accounts " charged off '' after bankruptcy which is misleading as to my credit worthiness. It is my understanding that the creditors may charge off an account after bankruptcy for their internal accounting purpose, but reporting a charge off after bankruptcy is a violation of credit reporting and bankruptcy statutes. I have sent correspondence multiple times, return receipt requested, with specific information that should be corrected. It remains in error and at this point they refuse to further investigate despite my repeated attempts. The credit agencies and creditors have also ignored my requests to provide their methods of verification after my disputes under the FCRA, Section 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) and ( 7 ) ; it is my position that neither are unable to provide a method of verification because they are unable to do so. I have repeated the process of dispute when these charge off were reported after bankruptcy for each creditor that is reporting a charge off. Some are not only reporting a charge off after bankruptcy, they changed payment history to reflect a charge off prior to bankruptcy which is untrue. Prior credit reports show that the accounts were not charge off prior to bankruptcy. The credits retroactively changed payment history to charge off after bankruptcy. The creditors who are engaging in these actions XXXX. For example, all of these creditors are reporting that the account was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX -- -after bankruptcy. XXXX specifically retroactively entered charge offs prior to bankruptcy when accounts were not in charge off status.

Company failed to due an adequate investigation of my dispute on an entry on my credit report. A company called XXXX XXXX XXXX has two entries on my consumer credit report. When previously disputed it has come back verified. I then requested in writing full verification of debt from the company but these letters went unanswered. I have since found out that this company is no longer in business per the BBB website. In additon this same collection agency recently entered into a consent agreement with CFPB for violations of FCRA laws and was fined. So I am wondering how was this debt verified with a company that is no longer in business???

Complaint:
I believe that the XXXX credit bureaus are grading my credit report in a discriminatory fashion and allowing companies to add negative items that are inaccurate and are not being properly varified by the credit bureaus. Which has caused my credit score and report to suffer as a result. And, cause me hardship in my personal finances. Which has allowed lenders to disqualify me for different loan products, such as credit cards and home loans. So basically, it 's not lenders being discriminatory, it 's the credit bureaus. Because the are not making companies report adequate evidence to prove the the validity of the claims, which they would not do to other Americans consumers.
