Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Midland Funding LLC, violated my rights as a consumer according to the FDCPA. They violated my rights due to the laws listed below : 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A states i have the right to privacy. 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 6042 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. I disputed this account with the credit bureaus and they stated that they verified that my information is correct. After doing further research on my credit report I see an inaccuracy that should have been correct if the account was verified correctly. Midland Funding LLC, reported to XXXX that the date opened was XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX and XXXX date opened was reported on XX/XX/XXXX. Midland Funding LLC, reported to XXXX that this account is 120 days late and last active on XX/XX/XXXX. It was also reported to XXXX the last active date was XX/XX/XXXX. It was reported to XXXX the date last active was XX/XX/XXXX. From my understanding of the law EVERYTHING has to be correct and the same across the board ALL credit bureaus and if my account was verified correctly as they stated then this information should be accurate. So i request that my account be deleted from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX.

Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: NY
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Taking out the loan or lease

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, I attempted to co-sign a loan online for a relative so he could purchase a piece of commercial equipment for his business through Sheffield Finance, the financial company affiliated with the dealership in Arizona. We received a denial and a list of reasons that 'could ' have contributed to the denial. The loan representative informed my brother that the company 'policy ' was not to accept co-signers from out-of-state and that we should try a bank, that the interest rate on the loan would be better anyway. 
On XXXX XXXX, we attempted to submit a loan, again with myself as co-signer, through his bank, XXXX XXXX. We both received similar letters informing us of the denial and what reason 'could ' be included. It was then that I learned that out-of-state co-signers may not be allowed under Arizona law. 
My first question is : if out-of-state co-signers are not allowed in Arizona, why is this not stated in some form on the websites? Why do the algorithms allow the applications to go through with addresses in XXXX different states? 
And, most importantly, why did I get hard inquiries on my credit score from both Sheffield Finance and XXXX XXXX? 
I do not have access to Arizona law to do the research myself. 
The loan is no longer needed but I still have the hard inquiries on my record and I would like to know what the reason is that these financial companies are not being transparent about this 'policy ' or 'law '. And, if this is actually the case, I would like to find out if I can get these erroneous hard inquiries off of my credit record.

Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Taking out the loan or lease

Complaint:
Hello, I have recently inquired about transferring my personal property into my business which would require me to obtain a business loan. I have been attempting to do this with XXXXI began working with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX ) in XXXX of 2015. It has been a nightmare dealing with her and I have found her conduct to be extremely unprofessional. Initially she took all of my information, and I was extremely transparent about my goals and quick to respond with financial information as needed. Eventually communication began to wane and weeks were going by without an update. She would haphazardly ask for different forms at the last minute, and would not bother to call or make sure these " last minute '' request were received. At one point after asking her for an update, calling both her work and cell phones AND sending an email, she emailed me back saying the loan was cancelled-she did n't realize that everything had to be completed within 21 days of initiating the request, AND she tried to say it was my fault because she asked for a form on Friday and it was n't there on Monday XXXX the same day it was cancelled apparently XXXX. 

I still proceeded to try to re-apply and continue the process with XXXX XXXX and BB & T. I had to consistently XXXX her down for updates. There were 2 WEEKS where I have heard NOTHING. I eventually caught up with her on her cell. She proceeded to tell me that she " thinks '' the hold-up is some additional paperwork that she " personally '' has some concerns about, AND when I asked if it were possible to just check in regularly even if there is no new information ( which I 've never heard of ), she basically refused. 

Eventually I complained to BB & T about the process, and after talking with her apparently, they said my application was in underwriting and they were n't sure when I would hear back. That is totally bogus and I know this because I have 3 other loans and I know how the process works. Coincidently, I received an email from XXXX XXXX a week later saying they could n't help me with my loan. No REAL or clear reasons, AND this was more than 2 weeks after my last interaction with her. I found this experience to be totally unfair, unprofessional, and unacceptable.

Complaint:
" XXXX '' has called my roommates number every single day, has called my number several times a day, has called my mother and brother-in-law several times and has also called me at work at the hospital more than several times. On one occasion she spoke to me, so she knows that I am aware of the debt, and I ca n't receive personal phone calls at work. Yet she still calls, even today ( XX/XX/2016 ). She refused to deal with the credit counseling company even after I signed a power of attorney for them to negotiate my debt. I told her I was going to seek the advice of counsel for all my debts to see what I should do, and she spent 30 minutes on the phone telling me why I should n't do it while I was at work. I ca n't tie up the phones so doctors and other XXXX or the XXXX ca n't get through to get results. She obviously does n't understand that. She was told again today by the XXXX manager that I ca n't receive personal phone calls at work.

State: DC

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Dear, XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. I am contacting you guys about my credit acceptance collection on my credit report. I contacted the furnishers of this information about a lot of incorrect information being reported across all three of your bureaus. The misreported information is Late payments, Payment Status, Worst payment status, account status, times 30/60/90 late, date of last payment, late payments. Now I contacted you guys separately about this information and you deemed it to be accurate but the problem is that all three bureaus have different information regarding the following stated above. I will be attaching a visual of the following mis matched info across all bureaus. 

After contacting credit acceptance, the furnisher of this information, they told me that they've been reporting accurate information to all three bureaus and that its basically your fault and that you're the ones who've misreported the information they gave you. I am asking for verifiable proof of this claim. ( Their reports to you guys of all the information furnished on my report from credit acceptance ) I will also be attaching their response of them stating that you guys are the ones who are misreporting which is a violation under the FCRA. Now, I believe that credit acceptance just didn't want to own up to their mistakes because to my understanding, you guys only furnish information given to you by the CRA. So I would like a copy of what credit acceptance has send to you to report about my file since their claiming they reported all accurate information. I am not asking for a copy of my credit report with them since I have that already. But verifiable proof of when they send you this information and what the information entailed as to see you if you guys are the ones who are actually misreporting the information this credit agency gave you or its them who is reporting mis matched information to you guys. 

Now if they did in fact send you the correct information and you guys have been misreporting it please know I will be taking legal action and asking for financial compensation as there's a lot of inaccurate information across all three bureaus and violations under the FCRA.

Company: BSI Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
We chose to pay down our mortgage in XXXX over several months, principal amount was {$45000.00} in XX/XX/XXXX. On the XX/XX/XXXX statement, our principal was {$710.00}, so we paid that amount, even though our monthly payments were {$870.00}. Meanwhile, the payoff statement sent from XXXX was incorrect, so we requested a new one. The new closing statement sent had a XXXX  day window to send a wire to pay off, however, we were out of the country, so when we finally saw it, it was too late. We called XXXX for a new one, which we never received so we ordered XXXX online, received that and wired the amount to close out the loan. 
Back to our last payment of {$710.00}, for the total amount outstanding on the loan : XXXX sent that back in the form of a check, then charged us late fees for non-payment of our mortgage. XXXX then reported us to credit as having not paid our mortgage payment when all the while we were trying to work with XXXX  to correct the disputed payoff statement and pay that. 
BSI has told us on XXXX separate occasions that they will refund us the late fees totaling {$87.00} associated with not making a monthly payment. So far nothing. 
I submitted a request that they report to credit that our payment wasn't missed. I was told they will " consider '' it. 
In summary : 1. There was a failure by XXXX  to submit to us an accurate payoff statement 2. While our payoff statement was in dispute, XXXX charged us late fees, reported us to credit, saying that we didn't pay the Payoff Statement amount in XXXX  days. 
3. We now have a non-payment of mortgage on our credit, which XXXX " might consider '' reversing, and paid late fees which we didn't owe.
