Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process
Sub-issue: Payment process

Complaint:
Dear CFPB, On XX/XX/2023 I mailed a check of US {$2000.00} with a letter to my mortgage company Selene Financial to put to my principal balance only. On my XXXX statement I found out they did not carry out my wishes. Not only did they misappropriate my money but they added a late payment fee of US {$31.00} ( this rescinded after a call ). Please note my account is on automatic payment from start of my loan. 

For three weeks and counting I have made many calls to the company. Only excuses and promises given to me and the issue has not been resolved. Please help me get this issue sorted out as soon as possible because SELENE Financial is getting my monthly payments on time. 
Thank you.

State: FL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
As a consumer, I have encountered inaccurate and misleading information on my credit reports, which has resulted in significant harm to my financial well-being. I believe that these credit reporting agencies have violated the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ).

The specific violation involves the failure of credit reporting agencies to provide accurate and complete information about my credit history, resulting in the misrepresentation of my creditworthiness to potential lenders, employers, and other entities that rely on credit reports for decision-making purposes. I have diligently monitored my credit reports and found multiple instances where outdated, incorrect, or unverified information has been reported, thereby undermining my ability to access credit and obtain favorable terms.

According to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ), credit reporting agencies are required to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information contained in consumer reports. Furthermore, they must conduct a reasonable investigation within 30 days of receiving a dispute regarding the accuracy of any information on a consumer 's credit report. However, the credit reporting agencies in question have failed to fulfill these obligations, thereby violating my rights as a consumer.

I have made multiple attempts to dispute and rectify these inaccuracies directly with the credit reporting agencies. However, their responses have been unsatisfactory, often providing generic and unhelpful explanations without conducting thorough investigations or taking appropriate corrective actions. These actions not only harm my financial reputation but also undermine the integrity and reliability of the credit reporting system.

Considering these circumstances, I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate actions against the credit reporting agencies involved. I believe that enforcement actions, penalties, and the implementation of stringent compliance measures are necessary to ensure that credit reporting agencies comply with the requirements of 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) and safeguard the rights of consumers.

I have identified multiple discrepancies and inaccuracies in the reporting of my personal information, including addresses, phone numbers, and employers, on my credit reports provided by these agencies. The only correct name and address that should be reporting are : Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX, IL XXXX However, the following information is inaccurate : Addresses : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX , XXXX XXXX , IL  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - Residential Employers : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX These inaccuracies are not only damaging my creditworthiness but also infringing upon my rights as a consumer seeking fair and accurate credit reporting.

I have requested these credit reporting agencies to investigate these inaccuracies and delete these entries from my credit reports in accordance with Section 1681s2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( E ) of the FCRA. However, these inaccuracies continue to be included in my credit reports, damaging my creditworthiness and infringing upon my rights as a consumer. 

I kindly request the CFPB to intervene in this matter and ensure that these credit reporting agencies comply with the FCRA. I also request that these agencies provide written confirmation of the removal of these inaccuracies within 30 days, as per Section 1681s2 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA.

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:
Experian credit reporting agency failed to properly investigate and provide XXXX documentation to the creditor which resulted in irreparable harm to the consumer. 
On XX/XX/2022 a request to investigate a fraudulent account reported by XXXX XXXX  was requested to be investigated. Additional documentation was provided to Experian through experience upload documentation system. This information was relayed to the representative for Experian which intern, placed the consumer on hold as a research to find the documentation. Whats the documentation was located, the dispute was initiated. 
On the same day that the dispute was initiated, a email was sent out stating the following : We can not process your dispute online please contact us below or Experian dispute specialist are available to assist you. It also said to use report number XXXX XXXX. I found this to be very peculiar because my dispute was done over the phone with an agent. My dispute was not at any time conducted online for two reasons, Experience dispute system does not allow you to submit any items pertaining to fraud online. So there is no way that request couldve been submitted. 

Secondly, the other items that were removed and deleted were submitted under Fraud at the same time. So its impossible for half of the request to be submitted and the other half not to be submitted. 

Is gross negligence is a failure by Experian Reporting agency to properly investigate this item pertaining to fraud and, to properly submit new pertinent information that was uploaded to Experian pertaining to this fraudulent account. 

Failure by experience to properly maintain my file has cost me irreparable harm that I am financially suffering from today. 

Failure to properly investigate this report, and provide documentation to the creditor so that this could be resolved the way the system intends it to be has created a gross violation of the FCRA fair credit reporting act. 

His account has been sitting on my credit report for the sole reason that Experian failed to properly provide documentation to the creditor pertaining to fraudulent item disputes in accordance with the fair credit reporting act and fair credit debt collection act. 

The documentation speaks for itself. It shows that XXXX XXXX  clearly stating they never received any fraudulent Documentation that was uploaded to Experian. Experian never provided the information and this is validated by the simple fact that XXXX XXXX  as clearly stated they didnt receive anything from them. Therefore a proper investigation was never done and never properly completed.
