Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IN)

On XX/XX/XXXX I placed a security freeze on my credit report with Experian. Experian provided me a 10 digit PIN which I was told would be the only key to un-freeze my credit report. In XXXX, XXXX I received information from XXXX XXXX and XXXX  that someone posing as me had applied for credit with them. XXXX XXXX confirmed that they were able to get a credit report on me from Experian. It was extremely difficult to contact Experian to resolve the matter. After spending a day on the phone with them, all I could learn was that someone had obtained my social security number and was able to open an account with them and un-freeze my credit. Experian did this without the security PIN and without attempting to verify the identity of the fraudster, who went on to apply for numerous credit cards in my name. Talking to Experian was fruitless. They do not consider any fraud information on your account as fraud, instead transfer you to " membership '' who can do nothing about fraud. It took hours to clear off the invalid credit information and delete numerous added addresses and phone numbers. I do not have confidence that I have fully corrected the record. 
The fraudsters have figured out that the Experian report does not show all the phone numbers on the account. The fraudsters had added at least 5. I had to submit a report THREE times to Experian because each time they would remove bad phone numbers, new bad numbers would show up in their limited field-view. I also believe that the fraudsters added 5 phone numbers because the FTC identitytheft.gov website allows a victim to only report 4 bad numbers, thus leaving 1 fraud number as valid. I thought it was the law that once my credit was frozen it was permanent until I un-froze it. Though I have asked Experian to explain how that could have been done without my security PIN, they have been unable to provide an explanation. I was not surprised by the fact that a fraudster was unable to get my ssn, because it has been widely reported that that information is readily available. Despite all of this, Experian saw fit to ignore their security process and obvious signs of fraud and allow someone to take over my credit. I believe the CFPB should require the credit bureaus to more rigorously protect the data that they are collecting ; collecting even without my permission.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

During the time of XXXX I unknowingly had multiple upon multiple credit cards opened in my name. I am not the owner of this debt, nor did I ever apply to get these credit cards. I was under the age of XXXX at these times and did not even know what credit was or how to apply for a credit card, let alone go apply for over XXXX credit cards at the age of XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I highly suspect my personal information was stolen by my XXXX XXXX The reason I highly suspect he did this is because I lived in his house at the time as well as my mother and XXXX  brother ( who also has a ruined XXXX XXXX because of XXXX XXXX  committing identity theft ). Again I lived in his house during these times these credit cards were opened up, which means he had very easy access to my social security card as well as my birth certificate or any other extremely personal information he could use to falsely identify himself as me in order to get some easy money. My XXXX XXXX XXXX name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am willing to give any information about him or myself in order to fix my credit. This is not fair and I should not have to pay $ XXXX in collections for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX actions. I am willing to do whatever it takes to prove this wasn't my wrong doing.

Ive contacted the company via email and chat and have been offered no help and their chat staff was not knowledgeable. 

I want to make my payment but can not and am incurring interest on the principal I want to lay down. Freedom Mortgage is basically ensuring extra interest income by withholding loan information required to make payments and I feel that is criminal.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (NC)

During a transfer of our mortgage from XXXX XXXX Mortgage to Mr. Cooper a charge of {$600.00} was placed against our mortgage as an Escrow charge. We filed a complaint and Mr. Cooper acknowledged it should have not been charged to us. We made two payments towards that amount that should have BOTH been credited to our principal balance if that charge had been vacated from our loan. Only one payment of {$50.00} has been applied to our principal balance. The other was applied to the {$600.00} to bring the false charge amount to {$550.00} and that charge is STILL being imposed against our loan. Mr. Cooper did in fact, vacate it from XXXX as they stated in our prior complaint 's response, but it is still there in the amount of {$550.00}. It has simply been moved from XXXX charged first on XXXX to " other '' as a lender paid adjustment. No, this is not a credit to our loan but a charge as credits and payments are shown without parentheses and payment reversals and charges are shown in parentheses on the attached form. All Mr. Cooper has done is move the false charge around like a shell game. In addition, despite a TIL request for what the charge was actually for, we have never been given an explanation. A representative from Mr. Cooper has called every few days to see if the 2nd payment of {$50.00} has been applied to our principal but will not acknowledge the {$550.00} still being charged to our loan account.
