State: IL
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: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back.

Company: PLANET HOME LENDING, LLC
State: CO
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I submitted extra funds to pay down my principal. In their wisdom/stupidity, Planet Home Lending applied the extra funds as an extra payment THEN to principal. It took 19 days, numerous phone calls, being disconnected and finally talking to a supervisor to get this resolved. 

I will now write a check each month and give them specific directions as to how to handle the overage. 

In the 35 years I have paid on mortgages, NEVER has a mortgage company handled extra funds this way, they have ALWAYS gone to principal. 

My time is worth something. I will never see remuneration from them for their error and my time wasted. I pray they sell my loan to a company that has processors with a XXXX.

Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
Video consulting services were sold to an individual, who paid for the consultation via PayPal. After receiving the services, user reported to PayPal that he had purchased an XXXX spreadsheet, and that I provided an empty sheet. He fabricated a corresponding text file that wasn't even a spreadsheet to " evidence '' this somehow. He provided absolutely no evidence that a spreadsheet was the product that had been purchased ( it was not ). 

I provided screenshots of the agreement for consultation and of the log that the video call had occurred. I also provided evidence that this was the second time that user had attempted this scheme. The first time, the issue was resolved appropriately with the exception that PayPal permitted the user to continue perpetrating the scheme. This on its own makes PayPal an active participant in the fraud, as they should have known better and actively decided to enable the fraud to continue. 

PayPal disregarded prior behavior, disregarded my evidence, disregarded absence of user 's evidence, and sided with user. No explanation was provided.

Complaint:
Recently, I conducted an investigation on my credit report, and let me tell you, it really took a toll on me. I felt incredibly depressed upon discovering numerous items that were unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable. It was alarming to see that your agency had not ensured the information was reported correctly. 

You see, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, it's crucial for everything on my credit report to be 100 % accurate. And guess what? These accounts I found are in direct violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) since they are not reporting information that is 100 % accurate. This is something that needs to be addressed and rectified as soon as possible.
