Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
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:
XXXX XXXX XXXX, an XXXX XXXX company, is reporting inaccurate information to Equifax. I have disputed this account 5 times in the past 2 months with Equifax ( 4 denied, 1 ongoing ). When I reached out to Equifax to get details as to how their conclusion was reached in each dispute, they advised that it was electronically, they depend on the lender to do the research not themselves and to refer to the dispute results. The dispute results only provide a VA address and a disconnected NE phone number. There is no information as to how the account was verified as mine. I have attempted to reach the lender directly but am referred to a collection agency. This collection agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX, is not listed on my Equifax report as servicing this debt yet has created a new account number and increased the balance owed. Also during the dispute process, Equifax has only updated the creditor from XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  but provided no additional details about the origination of the loan, verify account ownership, nor removed the status as collection. Without account verification, this account has been flagged as fraud. Below are the account details : Lender : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account : XXXX Amount : {$21000.00} with {$11000.00} past due Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX but no activity reported until XX/XX/XXXX Equifax Status : Collection Account as of XX/XX/XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I disputed this dept on my credit report on XXXX XXXX, 2016and on XXXX XXXX, 2016 the company responded to my dispute as verified so I call the company on XXXX XXXX, 2016 at XXXX I asked the representative about the dispute and why is it not being reported on my credit report as a medical bill instead of placed in collection.

I also asked the representative what was he advised when they contacted the medical center to validate the debt, he responded with they do not have to contact the medical center with whom the original debt was made to validate it. According to 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of debts paragraph ( A ) subsection ( 4 ) the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector ; The representative advised me " You needed to research the laws a little better before you start quoting laws to him ''.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
I opened a dispute back in XXXX with TransUnion regarding XXXX XXXX, for whatever reason, the past due payment was removed from my report. A couple of days ago I noticed XXXX XXXX once again reported the same past due issue once again. I explained to them that subsequently to the migration from XXXX XXXX XXXX which I had set up with autopay, the bill became late and I was unaware. It happens that XXXX XXXX did not carry over my autopay and although they made numerous attempts to contact me via postal and email ; it is my argument that the envelopes and email were generic by design. I will attach email examples in this complaint. The irony is XXXX XXXX waited till the bill was passed 30 days to contact me via phone. Once I received the phone call I immediately paid, which I would have done if they would have contacted me sooner. 

I attached an image of the emails I received from XXXX originally and the generic emails I received from XXXX which subject line do not refer to XXXX. As you will well notice Cardmember Service is practically any spam email and postal mail one receives on an average week. I phone call would have solved this issue especially since I was a new member. If this would have happened because I just plain forgot to setup autopay or just did not care about making a payment I would understand.

Company: BBVA FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Product: Credit card
Issue: Payoff process

Complaint:
I made multiple payments ranging from {$2900.00} to {$4500.00} to BBVA bank using their online system and pulling from a XXXX XXXX XXXX checking account. At no time in the process did they say large payments may take 7-10 days to credit to my account and made no attempt to expedite the process. Instead, I just have a worthless piece of plastic with no available credit to use despite it showing up online on BBVA 's end and the money being withdrawn from XXXX XXXX XXXX 's end. This is ridiculous and intentional stalling on BBVA 's part during the XXXX bonus period they offer. They are systematically delaying their customer 's usage of the credit card during this time yet promoting this time as a way to garner more sign ups for their product. It is unethical.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
My mortgage lender sold my mortgage, at the same time the amount was adjusted to cover escrow. Somehow I missed the slight uptick in the amount ( {$47.00} ) so the mortgage company posted the money I did paid at " unapplied. '' I then saw the error, called the company, was given the run around and finally the clerk told me she could not give me the new mortgage amount until I submitted the {$47.00}. I mailed a check that day and still received a threatening letter. Given the sale of the mortgage, the new amount, and my call to the company I would have expected more courtesy. So apparently they get to " hold '' my payment as " unapplied '' - which seems grossly unfair. The company is Dovenmuehle Mortgage.

Complaint:
This particular account situation that is lately filing on my own credit document has a seriously unfavorable relation to my personal ability to obtain a present loan application. I highly recommend you generate verification that Credit Union has been reported completely in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulations, it's really a serious problem to misreport. More confirmation of the aforesaid item too. My proper request must over, I was never 30 days/60 days/120 days late in any of my payments and I'm not greatly tuned in to the date opened so I prefer to ask you be investigated as soon as possible and confirmed to be correct. Thanks!

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020, I used my Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card to purchase a puppy and was charged {$3000.00} by the merchant ( XXXX XXXX ). 

On XX/XX/2020, I executed a contract indicating if the puppy had health issues in the first 12 months resulting in death, that the merchant would refund the purchase. 

The dog experienced issues and passed away within two months and I contacted the merchant via email on XX/XX/2020. They responded in writing on the same day that they were processing a refund for the purchase. 

I awaited a refund on my card, but it was never processed, so I disputed the charge with Chase and forwarded the merchant correspondence evidencing the refund. 

Chase sent me a notice on XX/XX/2020 indicating I was still responsible for the charge.

Complaint:
First, when my mortgage was first transferred to XXXX from another company it they cashed the first check but did not credit it to my account because I had originally paid the first mortgage company. This is my legal right to pay the old company within a certain number of days of the transfer of service. Second, when my mortgage was transferred to a new company XXXX Loancare stopped my automatic payment prior to notification. Also, they stopped it well before the allowable limit of how long I can still legally pay XXXX Loancare. When I finally found out, I was over a month behind on my payment with the new mortgage company. Luckily they did not charge a late fee. Also they conveniently backdated the letter that they sent me. Lastly, I have not received my tax statement for XXXX. This is normally not a big deal since I could typically go online and check the statement but they have disbanded my online account for some odd reason. Now they wo n't reply to my emails. The tax statement should have been provided to me prior to XXXX/XXXX/XXXX.
