Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I have been reaching out to XXXX XXXX for almost the last XXXX years about this loan and I'm still getting the run around with no clear cut answers on why there is still a loan balance on my credit report. The loan was paid in full by my insurance and the remainder by my gap insurance. I recently got in contact with someone from American heritage about the loan and was told that I would be reached back out to. The only thing that occurred was a {$780.00} decrees in the balance ( {$2400.00} ) to ( {$1600.00} ), still with no proper communication as to why there was a balance ever to begin with.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt was paid

I settled an XXXX XXXX XXXX debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for {$350.00}. XXXX XXXX XXXX accepted the {$350.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX ; however, they refuse to acknowledge the settlement. They sent the remaining balance to a new collection agency named XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I disputed with XXXX and sent them a copy of the settlement agreement, so they didn't collect any longer. XXXX XXXX XXXX sent this to a new collection agency in XX/XX/XXXX which resulted in another collection account on my credit report XXXX XXXX causing my score to drop 40 points for a debt I settled over a year ago. I've made numerous attempts to XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX over the past year without luck. XXXX says it's XXXX XXXX XXXX 's fault and XXXX XXXX XXXX says it's XXXX 's fault. They each point fingers at each other and no one will take ownership to help resolve. Additionally, XXXX XXXX XXXX complaint and dispute department refuse to provide an email, fax, or address to send proof of the settlement or to make a complaint. The last two managers I spoke with were XXXX employee ID XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I've attached a copy of a reproduced settlement letter from XXXX XXXX they resent to me XX/XX/XXXX from the XXXX settlement and a copy of my bank statement on pages 2 and 5 of 10 will show this amount coming out of my bank account.

I have the unverified information please delete the following : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am in the process of closing on new business equipment and all of this information is not accurate. Federal law requires that you provide mechanisms to ensure that each item on my credit report. If the above items are inaccurate, misleading, and incomplete. I expect you to make a re-investigation immediately.
Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Regarding Equifax  Bureau On XX/XX/2021 I demanded to see verifiable proof ( i.e. : an original consumer contract with my signature on it ) that Equifax  has on file ; and on XX/XX/2021 I sent Equifax  a demand to comply with my initial notice dated XX/XX/2021. As of today I have not received the proof I requested. It has been XXXX  days and still no conclusion to their investigation. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ), Equifax  is required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that they post on a credit report. Otherwise anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 

Their failure to positively verify the accounts mentioned in my XX/XX/2021 XXXX notice has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the XXXX, unverifiable accounts must be removed.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status

After multiple disputes Equifax continues to inaccurately report a late payment on my XXXX XXXX account in XXXX of 2016. XXXX has verified that I do not have a late payment and have sent multiple requests to update the information, yet Equifax is not updating the information.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

I filed for a bankruptcy chapter XXXX back in XXXX of XXXX XXXX 9 Years ago ), I had a mortgage that was included in the bankruptcy and as soon as I received my discharge in XX/XX/XXXX, that same mortgage company ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ), reported me more than 60 days late, which was not supposed to be done, considering that bankruptcy is 9 years old. I have reached out to them on many occasions since XXXX and have been told on multiple occasions it will be correctly reported to the credit bureau. Finally, after multiple failed attempts, since they have continuously kept reporting incorrect information, I sent a certified letter to the bank in question with all the proof and nothing has been done. I finally reached out to the credit bureaus, and sent the explanation, with all supporting documentation, I received a credit dipute update with Equifax, claiming that the mortgage company has reported correctly and that sufficient information was not provided. I sent Equifax the letter I sent to mortgage company, a detailed explanation of what was going on and the proof of bankruptcy payment plan where this mortgage was included and completed with exact dates. I don't understand how much more specific I can be. I then call the Equifax phone number XXXX, and am asked to verify my identity. I verify the information around 5 times, with the numeric portion of my address, phone number, social security and zip code and system says it can not verify my identity, although I am 100 % sure Ive input the correct info. Then I call consumer services at XXXX and explain I really need to speak to someone and they say they are terribly sorry but there's nothing they can do. I finally communicate with Equifax and after 3 and 1/2 hours on hold ( I took a picture of the screenshot ), I was told by an Equifax customer service rep that despite me sending them bankrupcy proof and advising them that mortgage company is being extremely uncooperative, the incorrect information will continue to be on my file.I then asked the rep if I can record her saying that and she agrees. Her ID # is XXXX, name XXXX I believe. I have the recording on my phone, just could not upload, where I recorded the rep confirming they would not remove the negative rating report. Both the mortgage company and Equifax have been very uncooperative. This has been affecting me in obtaining credit, including a refinance of a home I own and 1 I'm trying to buy. I have been more than patient and now I see myself extremely hurt, as no one will give me financing and I have a balloon loan due as well. Please help with having the mortgage removed from my credit ASAP, as it was included in my bankruptcy. Thank you in advance.I have also attached the letter of denial from the Lender trying to get me approved. This is only an example of what has been happening to me for a while. I have been pretty much denied by other banks because of this.
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

I received my credit report and noticed violations under the 15 us code 1681 and 15 us code 1681b ( FCRA ). The law clearly states the following15 us code 1681b ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. Meaning that if you do not have or havent gotten any written instructions from me ( the consumer ) to furnish an account on my report. It should not be there. That is a violation. I never gave written instruction to furnish any of the following accounts. Secondly according to the 15 us code 1681.The law clearly states 1. Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting. The Congress makes the following findings : 2. The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system ( 4 ) There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. ( b ) Reasonable procedures It is the purpose of this subchapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter. I sent out a letter To Verify The Accuracy On Credit Report and I did not get a response. So I send out another letter just in case they didn't receive it still no respond. Under the FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i, all unverified accounts MUST be promptly deleted. I have the list of accounts that are inaccurate and its in clear violation of my privacy. Which is a violation of the law. This is embarrassing and damaging to my reputation as a consumer. Below are the names and account numbers who are in violation, and need to be removed off my report, not closed status, but REMOVED.

In  XXXX  of  XXXX  I put in another deferment waiver for a SINGLE loan sequence from  XXXX  and Fed  Loan Servin g erased all of my qualifying payments for all of my loan sequences and reset them to zero. Of course, I have made multiple calls and been unable to resolve this with the loan servicer because their customer service is horrible, abysmal, and the worst in  America.
