Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
am in the process of purchasing a home for my family and it was requested by a lender to pull my EQUIFAX credit report. As part of the review I found there are inaccurate items and should not be on my credit report. The lender indicated to me that missed payments will cause my interest rate to be higher. I understand mistakes happen but this needs to be fixed because these accounts are damaging to my credit report and I dont have the luxury to just wait around and let the problem fix itself by your agency.

If you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof within 15 days after your investigation, you must remove the accounts and or the information listed below : ACCOUNT NAME : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX and ACCOUNT NAME : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX I also noticed there is a payment indicator history that conflicts with the payment status of the referenced account.

It also states the banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting method undermined the public confidence with is essential to the continues function of the banking system. Nothing about the reporting of these late payments are accurate and my privacy has been violated due to Experian violated my consumer rights by allowing these late payments/utilization to report to my consumer report!

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: WA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
This is the third complaint I have made to CFPB regarding this issue. 

Citizens has now said that we canceled the modification on two seperate dates. On XX/XX/XXXX a represenative in Loss Mitigation told me that there were notes on my file that I called on XX/XX/XXXX to cancel my modification. XXXX XXXX responding on behalf of Citizens ' to my CFPB Complaint # XXXX, states that bank records indicate I called on XX/XX/XXXX to cancel my modification. Attached is the 'No Oral Agreements ' page of the modification as well as my phone records for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. No call was made to Citizens ' or the VA. 

If the VA is communicating to Citizens that they can't use my original paperwork because of the error in numbers signed and accepted by all parties, then Citizens needs to write-off the mistake they made and honor the terms signed by all parties. Had they done this in a timely manner to begin with, all parties could have signed the new numbers and this would have been handled long ago. This is now 13 months of fighting to get this straigtened out. And there are a couple of significant reasons that we are not willing to complete an entirely new package. Number 1 - interest rates are significantly different than they were when this fully executed modification was put into place and we made eight payments as agreed on the modification. Number 2 - our credit score has taken a substantial hit due to Citizens ' errors. 

I received two letters both dated XX/XX/XXXX. One indicates that I have contacted Citizens requesting information regarding Foreclosure Prevention options and that XXXX XXXX would be my one and only contact person at Citizens. The second indicates that Citizens has received my request for Loss Mitigation assistance and my financial package that they are in the process of reviewing. Again, Citizens is contradicating themselves and providing information that is untruthful. At what point does someone take action and make Citizens fix THEIR mistakes without it having a substantial consequence to me.
