Company: AMERISAVE MORTGAGE CORPORATION
State: RI
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
This was the worse company I have ever worked with. It took over 2 months to refinance my home mortgage. I complained many times and never got a call back from any manager. I had to do a lot of work myself that I was paying for the company to do like getting the pay off amount from the bank and the final tax bill from the town. I asked my loan processor and originator for a phone number to call and complain and I never got one. I was not given information about the closing either. I had to ask how the money was going to be sent to the company and only after I asked was I told about the wiring requirement.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
I am writing to formally raise my concerns and file a complaint about a recent issue I encountered with my credit score as reported by the credit bureau, TransUnion. 

Recently, I took the decision to lower the balance on XXXX of my credit cards, a responsible financial decision that should typically be seen as a positive action indicating good credit behavior. However, to my surprise, this led to a drastic and inexplicable drop in my credit score as reported by this agency. It appears that an action aimed at reducing my debt and improving my financial situation has been misconstrued and, rather inexplicably, punished. 

I am finding it difficult to understand the logic behind penalizing a consumer for decreasing their level of indebtedness. This counterintuitive action on Transunion 's part fuels my suspicions about potential predatory practices, as it appears to incentivize maintaining high balances and, as a result, paying high-interest rates - a situation that, I believe, benefits the credit card companies at the expense of the consumer. 

This circumstance brings to mind questions about the fairness and transparency of the scoring models used, and whether there are elements within these models that could perpetuate a cycle of debt and high interest rates, contrary to what one would expect from an organization that should foster responsible financial habits.

Complaint:
XX/XX/2022 I notified Transunion XXXX XXXX that I was victim of identity theft. 
The XXXX notes that one or more debt collectors continued collection activity despite not properly obtaining and mailing debt verification after a consumer exercised his or her 1692g rights. Specifically, the Bureau calls out the practice where debt collectors forwarded consumer debt validation requests to the relevant clients, who mailed responses directly to the consumers. 
Section 809 ( b ) of the FDCPA requires a debt collector, upon receipt of a written debt validation request from a consumer, to cease collection of the debt until IT ( meaning the collection agency ) obtains verification of the debt and mails it to the consumer. Examinations found that one or more debt collectors routinely failed to mail debt verifications before engaging in further collections activities. 
Instead, one or more debt collectors forwarded consumer debt validation requests to the relevant clients, who mailed responses directly to consumers and the debt collectors then continued collection activities on accounts in violation of section 809 ( b ) of the FDCPA.

State: PA
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:
I asked Equifax to verify information contained in my credit file in which I have provided proof that the method Equifax used to allegedly verify this item was invalid. Item in question : XXXX XXXX  Bankruptcy Equifax stated that their process to verify this item was from a third-party vendor XXXX. FCRA states you must go back to the original Furnisher which would be the actual New Jersey USBK Courts. Equifax did not go to the original Furnisher because the USBK Court stated they do not report bankruptcies to anybody. 

Equifax going through a third-party company to obtain inaccurate information is NOT proper verification. Equifax is giving me an invalid verification. Equifax is in Violation of the FCRA They never did a fair investigation according to the 15 USC 1681. 15 USC 1681 section 603 ( 3 ) ( E ) States ; The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. 

They also violated my rights numerous times. The credit bureaus violated my given rights under 15 USC 1681. According to : 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

According to : 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions According to : 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

Lastly, Equifax last response through CFPB is that they do not have a credit file on me which is a FALSE Statement due to them sending me a recent investigation report just in case I receive another false statement from Equifax I have also attached my Driver License, SSN Card, Passport, and a copy of a voided check with my address on it for proof of residency. I provided my proof of identity in my last complaint which shows Equifax did not fully look into my case, that is not a FAIR investigation and my rights are violated.

To whom it may concern, I need your help, as I tried to do this on my own by contacting the companies that have my name and account number, which I have never applied for.

I am an identity theft victim and have tried to file an FTC report as well regarding this matter.I even filed a police report.

I have no idea whoever applied to any service under my name. I never shared my information with anybody either.

Is it possible to grab the contract that they claimed I applied for? Because I never did that. 
Your help will be highly appreciated.

Complaint:
I have taken the necessary steps to address this issue by promptly reporting the false information that has been disclosed. As a victim of identity theft, it is crucial for me to emphasize the immense stress and financial burden that I have endured due to the inclusion of products unrelated to my identity, for which I bear no responsibility. The handling of this complaint is of utmost importance, as failure to address it appropriately will leave me with no alternative but to initiate legal proceedings. The presence of these false and fraudulent entries on my consumer report has had a severe detrimental impact on my ability to achieve personal aspirations, such as purchasing my dream car, and providing essential support for my family.
