Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

It is important to note, my loan officer company is   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX    XXXX  is a different firm managing my loan payments.
I have received in mid  XX/XX/XXXX  attached statement "  XXXX  '' from loan officer su.
In this statement it was clear that my next payment date is XX/XX/XXXX and new monthly is  XXXX .
In addition, in that statement, you can see actual payment on   XXXX   as accounted for and it clearly stated that i overpayed the year of  XXXX  and it included a check of  XXXX  $ made to me to pay for the surplus i paid.
I was preparing to make my  XXXX  payment as usual. but after this letter, i checked  XXXX  website and deducted no payment is required.
No emails nor phone calls nor mails were received from neither firms until   XXXX   XXXX  etter attached which was received in XX/XX/XXXX  stating that i was actually late.
Before i even knew, I went to   XXXX    lat e  XXXX  to pay for   XXXX   and realized the issue and paid for both  XXXX  and  XXXX .
that day spent hours on   XXXX   XXXX  , i tried processing my payment but it wasnt going thru. There was a total issue occurring.after painful experience, i 've figured i need to process two separate payments for each month and together it was failing since monthly amount itself have changed.
Overall, Both companies failed to notify me on timely fashion and provided contradicting information. Both promised to remove from credit report and that it will be repaired once misunderstanding has been cleared.
However, 6 months later and after very horrible experience and 6 month of emails with loancare.com i stil havent been able to remove it from my credit report. i was reported as 30 day late and now PMI will not be removed because of this mistake.
This company been redirecting me from one department to another and today i was redirected to a fake email  XXXX  They damage my credit for no reason without proper notification. they 're interface now spams me with multiple pop-ups and i have to click 6 times to confirm to just see my statements. They are aware of the issue and claim they are working on a fix. this has been going on more then 6 month.
despite the reasonable case that ive made and many messages and followup and even after i paid fees and over 6 month of trying to get response with no luck, the creditor is acting unreasonably '' by not removing the 30day late payment even when they agreed to and Loan officer already agreed to remove since they have sent the confusing statement and never clarified.
I wasted my time for half a year now, and i hope similar companies can be stopped from consumer harassment such as my case above and held them accountable for what they are doing.
Regards,   XXXX   XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Reinserted previously deleted info

On XX/XX/2017 I faxed a dispute letter to Equifax regarding reinserting previously disputed and deleted addresses without notifying me of doing so in writing within 5 business days of reinserting them and they ignored my dispute letter. I have again faxed them a dispute today XX/XX/2017 but to ensure that they properly acknowledge my dispute I want to file this complaint as well. I received a copy of my credit report dated XX/XX/2017 with XXXX previously disputed and deleted addresses reinserted on my credit report. I am requesting that they REMOVE ANY AND ALL INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY DISPUTED AND DELETED ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY HAVE NOT NOTIFIED ME OF REINSERTING THE INFORMATION IN WRITING WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS THEY ARE CLEARLY IN VIOLATION OF THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT.
Complaint sub-issue: Received unsolicited financial product or insurance offers after opting out

I have been receiving " per-qualified '' offers and cash advances. I went to XXXX and opted out like all of them said to do. I received and mailed back the form to be permanently opted out. I am still receiving offers. One of them has XXXX  and one of there divisions XXXX XXXX XXXX or Clarity Services Inc ( as their e-mails says ). 

I contacted Clarity and was told I had to opt out with them directly and they were not part of XXXX. They are part of XXXX  their own customer support e-mail says they are. 

I believe this is all just a way for XXXX  and other Major credit bureaus to get around the opt out. They are making a lot of money with " selling '' my information so why would they stop. There is no incentive for them to stop. We don't have any ability NOT to be on any of these and we have no rights over how our information is used. We should be compensated by any company that violates the opt out.

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TN XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX   Dear Credit Bureaus, This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information. 
I HAVE INCLUDED DOCUMENTS OF PROOF ABOUT THIS COMPANIES ERRORS, AS THEY HAVE IGNORED MY DISPUTES FOR NEW REPORTING OR DELETION.

1 ) THE BALANCE IS INCORRECT : I HAVE ENCLOSED THE CORRECT BALANCE PROVIDED FORM THE COMPANY AND YOU CAN SEE ITS WRONG ON MY CREDIT REPORT 2 )  THEY HAVE REFUSED TO REMOVE MY LATE PAYMENTS ( WHICH WERE LATE DUE TO AN ERROR ON THEIR REPORTING SYSTEM ) EVEN THOUGH THEY VERBALLY SAID THEY WOULD. I WAS PROVIDED A REFRENCE # ON XX/XX/XXXX 3 ) AS OF XX/XX/XXXX THEY REPORTED I OWED THEM {$0.00}, WHICH WAS TRUE, THEN LESS THAN ONE MONTH LATER ON A CLOSED PREPAID ACCOUNT I SOMEHOW INCRUED {$140.00} OF CHARGES? INCORRECT REPORTING MONTH AFTER MONTH ON MY CREDIT REPORTS 4 )  KNOWINGLY REPORTING INNCORECTLY AGAINST ME I am distressed that you have included the ABOVE information in my credit profile and have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum accuracy in the credit reports you publish. BECAUSE OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE, XXXX XXXX CLOSED MY CREDIT ACCOUNT WITH A LIMIT OF {$1500.00} WHICH HAD A {$0.00} BALANCE. CITING RECENT NEGATIVE REPORTING AGAINST ME ON MY CREDIT REPORTS. THIS IS DIRECTLY BECAUSE OF XXXX   XXXX  INNACURATE REPORTING OF MY ACCOUNT WITH THEM. 

I respectfully request to have all negative information they reported against me removed and the late marks must be deleted from all 3 bureaus reports as soon as possible : 60 days past due and the 2 months of late payments and the balance I do not have reported as {$0.00}. Which is incorrect as they actually owe me {$200.00}, as it was a secured card and I made all the payments in full and on time every month this card was open. This item is completely inaccurate and incomplete and is a very serious error in reporting. Please supply a corrected credit profile to all creditors who have received a copy within the last 6 months, or the last 2 years for employment purposes.

I went to visit the XXXX apartments about 3 times. The 2nd time I went to the XXXX I was told I needed to fill out an application and I did. And she assured me they would not run my credit until I was ready to move forward. After I viewed the apartment she called me and said that I owed them {$35.00}. I didn't understand why she said that cause I was not ready to move yet. It was probably a month latter when I went back for the 3rd time. My girl friend went and spoke with the same property agent looked at 2 different places at the property and called to tell me to go look before making my final decision. I called and spoke to the same property agent who told me she would show me the property as long as I paid the {$35.00}. I went and I spoke to the agent gave her the {$35.00} money order. and then she said I still owed {$75.00}. I needed to pay that before viewing the apartment I told her I was not paying that because I was not ready to move there. Then she told me that if I didn't pay it they would send me to collections.

Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I have submitted several disputes and havent received any verifiable proof. Equifax only sends back the report stating the accounts has been verified as mines. I have asked Equifax to provide me with their method their utilizing to verify this erroneous information and to provide me documentation with my signature from the original creditor. To this date, Equifax has failed to provide me this information ( if Equifax stating they have verified this information as mines wouldnt you think they would provide me the information I am requesting. I know for a fact their using third parties to verify this information, such as XXXX and this is clearly a violation. I believe Equifax is not conducting a thorough investigation, but is utilizing their E-Oscar system, which is the automated credit dispute verification system which is not a thorough investigation. I also included the updated report Equifax has sent back to me stating the account were verified as mines, which states on the report Bankruptcy was verified through their third-party vendor XXXX ( VIOLATION # 2 ) ( NOT ORIGNAL CREDITOR ). By law according to the FCRA credit  bureaus are to do a thorough investigation and to contact the original creditor. I am requesting Equifax to do a thorough investigation and not utilize there E-Oscar System, PACER, XXXX, and any other third-party there utilizing but to contact the original creditors that is listed on my credit reports and to provide verifiable proof, documentation with my signature from the original creditor and if this information can not be verified correctly according to the FCRA I request these unverifiable accounts be deleted immediately.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

I am a permanently XXXX American who receives social security benefits through COMERICA Bank DIRECT EXPRESS DEBIT CARD PROGRAM. 

They do not issue monthly statements. I contacted them this year because the IRS told me that I needed to file taxes for XXXX and XXXX if I was to receive a stimulus check. 

I asked DIRECT EXPRESS to provide me with a total of benefits received over the past two years. What I got was a list in the mail, of every transaction to my account in XXXX 
Month after month, page after page was charges as small as XXXX and as large as {$100.00}, totaling over {$2600.00}. None of the deductions were authorized by me. Had I not requested deposit information, I would have not known what happened. 

I don't know how to get those funds back. Customer service for DIRECT EXPRESS read a scripted message that states the time parameters for filing a complaint regarding a charge as being 45-60 days from the posted date of charge. Each charge disputed requires a separate depute form. One month alone has eight pages of incorrect charges, 28 charges per page! 

Secondly, what can I do to prevent this from happening again? 
I have never used my DIRECT EXPRESS account for recurrent billing. Is there a way to opt out of these " services '' with DIRECT EXPRESS? 


The charges are suspicious amounts as little a {$.00} charge to a foreign payee multiple times in a given day. I WOULD LOVE TO SEND YOU COPIES BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD THEM.
Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax are showing the only ADVERSE ACCOUNT on my credit report to be a XXXX XXXX credit card which I do not have and have never had, a XXXX XXXX credit card. 
On a phone call with XXXX they confirmed that the SSN for the XXXX XXXX account did not match my own but they have not removed the false information from my credit report. I have made the same complaint to XXXX. They know the charge is not mine but have yet to remove it. 
It has been almost a year since I have contacted them and they still have yet to remove the data from my report. 
These agencies have caused me serious distress and have lawlessly disobeyed the requirement to remove false data within 30 days of confirming the inaccurate information.

I have lived at my current address for more than a year and 3 months. I applied for credit at a retail store and received a letter from the underwriting bank that my address is incorrect and, as such, the bank would not make a decision on my application.

I spoke t o a specialist at Citibank o n  XXXX  who promised to reinstate the credit funds of {$170.00} but up till today  XXXX  the credit has not been placed back on my account.

I have called and spoken to customer service agents at citibank on three more occasions and they all promise to reinstate the credit but the credit is still not reinstated. It seems that Citibank may n ot be taking the CFPB seriously
