Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I am writing to file a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning a collections account that has been severely impacting my credit report and causing me significant stress and financial difficulties. The collections account in question is identified as " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I have no knowledge of its origin or legitimacy. Despite my continuous efforts to rectify this situation with the credit bureaus, the issue persists. I became aware of the collections account " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX when I reviewed my credit report. This account had a substantially adverse impact on my credit score, and I was completely unaware of its existence. The presence of this account has made it exceedingly challenging for me to secure favorable financing terms, obtain credit, and pursue my financial goals. I am writing to seek the CFPB 's intervention in resolving this issue. I believe that my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) are being violated, as I have not received sufficient verification of the debt 's legitimacy, and the collections account is unfairly damaging my creditworthiness.

Complaint:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to address the erroneous reporting of accounts in my consumer report. I want to emphasize that I never provided written consent for the inclusion of these accounts. Consequently, I firmly believe that my rights under 15 USC 1681b have been violated. This breach pertains to safeguarding consumer information and the necessity of obtaining consent before its reporting. 

I have previously lodged a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and have been allocated a reference number : XXXX. Despite my efforts to have these items removed from my report, I have received unsolicited documents from the creditor, indicating a lack of cooperation. My grievance is specifically directed at your credit reporting agencies, as it falls within your responsibility to ensure accurate and compliant reporting. 

According to 15 USC 1681c-2, consumer reporting agencies are obligated to swiftly block the reporting of any information that consumers identify as originating from suspected identity theft. I respectfully urge you to adhere to this legal obligation and promptly eliminate the following accounts from my consumer report : Account Name : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number XXXX XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Account Name XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Original Creditors : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX : XXXX Account Name : XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX I expect these accounts to be removed in accordance with the timeframe mandated by law, no later than four business days following your receipt of this letter.

Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IN
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage
Sub-issue: Application denials

Complaint:
I recently met with local branch manager to discuss options for HELOC. I was concerned about a drop in my credit score over the last year, and a fair amount of debt. I wanted to see if I had options prior to diving into an application that would ultimately have a further impact on my credit score from a hard inquiry. The manager told me my credit score was fine, and we could proceed with application for a {$36000.00} HELOC. He was confident of success, especially as we would consolidate some of my debt. 
However, the application was ultimately declined, due to " not meeting their underwriting scoring criteria '', for the following reasons : 1. Too many recent inquiries 2. Number of accounts over 30 days delinquent 3. Insufficient mortgage credit history/not enough information The only one of those three reasons that is accurate is that there have been a few recent inquiries on my report. 
I have NO delinquent accounts showing on any of my credit reports, and Regions Bank have failed to provide me with information about these alleged delinquencies ... they refer me back to the credit bureau, which has no derogatory information. 
Also, Regions holds my mortgage loan so I am baffled as to the allegation of " lack of information ''. If they mean that I simply have not held my mortgage loan long enough, why did the allow the process to start? Again, they hold my mortgage so they knew at the start how long I have had it I approached the manager in good faith, with all my cards on the table. My mortgage information has always been available to them from the start, since the loan is held and serviced by Regions. At the very least, I should be entitled to a copy of the negative information that was reported, and the source so that I can fix any inaccurate reporting. I should not just be fobbed off and told to ask the credit bureau - who is clearly not the source of any negative reporting. I monitor my credit very closely and I have no derogatory information on my record. 

Their " underwriting scoring '' practice is very concerning to me ; I was approved for my first mortgage of {$120000.00}, by the same bank, with less than FIVE MONTHS of full time employment ( I had been unemployed for ten years prior to that ). I have banked with Regions for five years, have checking savings and a personal line of credit, all of which have been conducted satisfactorily, without as much as a late fee or overdraft fee. How do I not meet these " secret scoring requirements '' after three years of stable employment and credit, but can get more than 3 times the ask with little to no history? Sounds a bit dubious to say the least.
