I opened an account with transunion that allowed me to lock and unlock my reports from Transunion and XXXX. I did this because there was an unauthorized inquiry and i wanted to protect myself from this happening again. Fast Forward we were set to close on our home XX/XX/XXXX the bank attempts to pull my report on XX/XX/XXXX and of course only gain access to XXXX. Being that we are due to move out of our apartment by XX/XX/XXXX and we have XXXX young kids I instantly unlocked both via the online account which is said to be instantly. I called both XXXX  and Transunion and Confirmed that they have no lock no freeze or fraud alert keeping my lender from gaining access and they assured me it hadn't been locked since i unlocked it on XX/XX/XXXX. Well surely they lender attempts and only gaines access to XXXX yet i can access all from each account that i have and its dated for XX/XX/XXXX. I need help today we need to close on our home we have nowhere to go and kids are disenrolled from school as of today because the new place is located in another city well without the address by getting the final XXXX we are seriously stuck.

I checked my credit report on or around XX/XX/2018 and noticed XXXX XXXX  in XXXX TN had put a hard inquiry on my credit recently and one in the past. NEITHER INQUIRIES WHERE AROUND THE TIME OF MY CHECK CASHING. I called the office and asked why did they do this and she informed me that she was doing it to find my other creditors to call them to inform them of my account with them and to make my credit suffer from the hard hits. I did cash a check from them but the information was misleading and I did not consent to any credit check. The check was received in the mail as a preapprove offer. I have been cursed out and harassed by this office, and I need it to stop.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (WI)

The credit reporting agency investigated my complaint of inaccurate information on my credit report being furnished by XXXX ( XXXX ). I advised the credit reporting agency that the furnisher failed to update information that once may have been accurate but due to payment deferments and forbearances was no longer accurate. From XX/XX/2015-XX/XX/2015 XXXX has reported late payments. I provided the credit reporting agency with a copy of the approved forbearances showing the months that were reported as late as having a zero balance due. 

XXXX XXXX reported XX/XX/2015 as 90 days late but reported XX/XX/2015, XX/XX/2015, and XX/XX/2015 as on time. They then reported XX/XX/2015, XX/XX/2015, and XX/XX/2015 as each 120 days late. This reporting defies logic because how can XX/XX/2015 be 90 days late but the 90 days previous are all reported as on time payments? Additionally, how can one make a late payment for a balance that is XXXX? 

The credit reporting agency has failed to acknowledge and consider official documents provided to me directly from the furnisher, on the furnisher 's letterhead that shows there was an approved deferment/forbearance for the months that were reported late. Instead they made small modifications to my payment history which did improve my score some but still do not reflect accurate information. The FTC wrote an opinion on this matter and explained that information that was once accurate but is no longer accurate needs to be updated to reflect the current information.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA (NY)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received my first notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX to recertify my income for an IBR payment, and it stated that I had until XX/XX/XXXX to recertify or my payment would change to a Standard payment amount of {$2000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I recertified on XX/XX/XXXX, and I was approved on XX/XX/XXXX for a payment amount of {$290.00} monthly to start on XX/XX/XXXX. In the process, my next bill for a payment due on XX/XX/XXXX stated that I owed {$2000.00}, significantly higher than the amount I had been paying. 

I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, and after explaining the situation to an agent, I was advised that they did see the error and would correct it within three days so I could make my XXXX payment and still be eligible for PSLF with that payment as it should not have gone up. By XX/XX/XXXX, it still had not changed, so I called again, and I was informed that it could take 7-10 days, however it should be fixed by XX/XX/XXXX as that would be when I needed to make my payment. On XX/XX/XXXX, it still had not changed, and I called back. I was initially advised that I submitted my recertification late, thus the reason for the change, however I referred the agent to the letter sent on XX/XX/XXXX, and she advised me that I could not make my XXXX payment at this time as she was putting an Administrative Override on that payment since the amount was incorrect in the system. She advised me, however, that it would show up as past due for 30 to 60 days as it would take that long to fix. I am very concerned about this as this may then impact my credit report and show that I am not paying my lender on time given the long time it takes to process, especially when this error was not my fault. I have always recertified on time and made payments on time, so this is very troubling. I am also concerned that I continue to receive different information, and I no longer trust that this may be handled properly. 

Also, for reference, I was with XXXX up until XX/XX/XXXX, and they originally approved a 12 month IBR for XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. When I recertified with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, they started my new payment amount immediately ( as of XX/XX/XXXX ), though it should have started on XX/XX/XXXX. It appears that the error started there, and as such, I am now being penalized.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION (CA)

t 'd be great if there was a more transparent process for getting PMI cancelled without having to refinance. I don't know if this is a FHA problem or a bank problem or both. 

1. I asked my lender for information on cancellation of my PMI in XXXX. They sent me a letter informing me that I qualified for cancellation but referred me the FHA. In a follow up phone conversation with the lender, I was told by the lender that the cancellation is automatic and that I didn't have to do anything. 

2. I checked with the FHA website and only received vague guidance that referred me back to the lender.

3. In my specific case, I've easily gone over 1 year without a late payment and my loan to value ration is better than the 78 per cent that is required. The ratio was in my favor for cancellation within 1 year of closing. 

Thanks for your help.
