If you choose not to remove the items listed below, which are inaccurately reported due to fraud, I will turn over my documentation to my attorney to initiate legal action. My intent is to avoid any legal proceedings, so I urge you to comply with the law promptly.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE (PA)

I opened a checking account with Huntington Bank online on X/XX/2017, and my wife opened a checking account on X/XX/2017. My son transferred {$2000.00} each to my account and my wife 's account on X/XX/2017 from his checking account at XXXX XXXX. We tried to return the money to his account by transferring, but my account and my wife 's account were frozen. We were locked out of our online accounts, and had no access to our funds. I did contact customer service and was told that the accounts were under investigation for a possible fraud. I was also told in one instance that the remaining balance for my account was {$2000.00}. My son tried to transfer that money to his checking account on X/X/2017 initiating from XXXX XXXX, but it bounced back on X/X/2017 due to the freeze. This is reflected in the statements for his checking account, as is the initial transfers. Please see the transaction descriptions for corresponding account numbers. Finally, we closed my account with Huntington Bank on X/X/2017 and my wife 's account on X/XX/2017. We were told over the phone that the balance of the accounts would be sent to us. Attached are the letters sent to us regarding the account closures. For my account, the letter states that the remaining balance was XXXX. I received no money. For my wife 's account, the letter states the remaining balance was {$300.00}. A check for that amount was included. I 'm not sure how that amount came to be, but I suspect it had to do with the {$300.00} bonus for opening the account and depositing {$2000.00}. We have called Huntington Bank many times and even sent a letter. The people answering the phones have no idea on the situation, and we have never been allowed to talk directly to the fraud department, which also never contacted neither verified with us via any format such as letters, e-mails or phone calls. Every time we called, nobody has been able to tell us where the originally deposited money is or provide records of transactions in the accounts. We did not receive any statements until I sent a letter questioning where our money was. Those statements are attached here and do not include any time frame when money was deposited to the account or withdrawn. The one for my account reflects X/X/2017 to X/X/2017, and the one for my wife 's account reflects X/X/2017 to X/X/2017. Our accounts were n't even open during those periods, and we did n't have access anyway. Furthermore, the statements all the way from initial transfer to now for my son 's checking account show that no money has ever been sent there from Huntington Bank.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis (CA)

I made a payment to Columbia Debt Recovery LLC DBA Genesis on XX/XX/year>, based on a settlement offer they sent me, which stated I owed {$6200.00}, with a reduced settlement amount of {$4700.00} if paid by XX/XX/year>. I trusted this information and paid the settlement in good faith, expecting the account to be fully settled. 

However, I later learned that there were significant errors in their communication. Previously, I had spoken with XXXX XXXX XXXX of Genesis, who informed me that there were two lease contracts in dispute. He assured me that after making the payment, the smaller account would be removed from my credit report, which hasnt happened. Additionally, Genesis is still reporting a balance of over {$80000.00} on the second agreement, despite having previously offered a much lower settlement amount. 

This miscommunication is problematic, as I was led to believe my payment would settle the account. The incorrect balance is still showing on my credit report, causing harm to my financial standing, which is unfair and needs immediate correction.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Caliber Home Loans, Inc. (NY)

I have a mortgage with Caliber Home Loan. I have an automatic recurring payment set up so my payments are automatically made XXXX of every month. This XX/XX/XXXX, I changed my recurring payment to twice a month because my salary is paid twice a month. Since interests are calculated with daily accrual, I thought it would save some money. However, Caliber held on to the payment that was made on XX/XX/XXXX and applied the payment with the next payment on the XXXX of the following month. I was surprised by that and I thought that was an inefficient use of cash. So in XX/XX/XXXX, I changed the automatic payment back to once a month expecting it would either make a payment on XX/XX/XXXX or make two payments in XX/XX/XXXX and start making one payments per month from XX/XX/XXXX. However, it skipped XX/XX/XXXX 's payment entirely and made one payment in XX/XX/XXXX. As a result, I was charged with a late fee and potentially I will see a delinquency on my credit report. This is insane. I paid the delinquent amount back immediately on XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (WI)

I attended XXXX XXXX in XXXX, NY in XXXX. I went for less than a year. I was told that my credits could be transferred after I received an XXXX degree. When I found out that I was lied to and I could NOT transfer my credits, I left the school. XXXX XXXX took another loan out in my name after I left. When I spoke to an administrator about this they literally admitted what they " accidently '' did and said they would return the loan. They never did that. I was n't even in school for a year and I have {$22000.00} of debt from Navient. The school lied to me when registering about being able to transfer my credits and they lied about me taking out another loan. This school is closed so I ca n't even get any information from them.

I refuse to get blamed for a fraudulent and I was wrongfully judged and discriminated against by Experian, XXXX, and XXXX customer service reps were disrespectful, unprofessional and I am filing a lawsuit on behalf of these accounts and they way I was treated.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AZ)

My wife and I filled chapter XXXX bankruptcy almost 7 years ago however we did n't file on morgage with chase who house is financed with. We keep house and keep up to date. It was in bankruptcy as not included and there was no dispute in court about no filling and keeping house. We have since also done a new loan modification as well however ever since bankruptcy the mortgage with chase will show up as a closed paid account or included and closed for bankruptcy. Different credit reports show different things or nothing at all. We habe asked lender to fix this several times and also filled many disputes with 3 major credit reporting companies and it never gets fixed or updated. Due to this we are unable to refinance house and get a equity loan. We need both my wife 's and mine credit reports fixed since mortgage was exempt on bankruptcy and also a new loan was done. This is affecting our credit and life.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Caliber Home Loans, Inc. (CA)

In XX/XX/XXXX I signed loan number XXXX for $ XXXX with XXXX XXXX, and soon after they filed BK in New York. The then servicer XXXX promised me a no cost loan modification with the Federal Government HAMP program. I have made all my payments to all the servicers including XXXX XXXX loan number XXXX on time and was never late, therefore I received Principal payments from the Government which were never applied correctly to my loan. In XX/XX/XXXX I got divorced and had to file BK. My non negotiable instrument somehow allegedly changed hands from XXXX Loan Number XXXX to XXXX loan number : XXXX to the recent Caliber loan number XXXX. Now I have come to understand via a ruling of the State of California that chain of title has been broken and that my contracts have been breached. Therefore I have had to hire the Consumer Law Attorneys to investigate my loan and attach a signed authorization for Caliber to  send them all the requested documentation as soon as possible.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

In view of the XXXX fiasco I wanted to place a freeze on credit reports. XXXX XXXX web site took took about 3 minutes to complete, with reasonable requirements for verification of identity. 
XXXX XXXX process took far longer and multiple attempts to complete with ridiculous questions about former residencies and loans, more of a marketing ploy than a service but eventually completed. 
Transunion 's process is obviously either designed to prevent access or is done by incompetent IT people. It required name, address, SSN etc as expected, but then required creation of a user name and password, and then multiple questions about previous mortages, residencies, banking history, and phone numbers etc. After submission I got a message something like " can not identify you based on answers '' but no suggestion of which answers or how to correct. A reattempt generated a message that I already had a user name and password, but would not accept those just set up. A " contact us '' phone number was given but was the same format via a menu of choices. 
I attempted to complete by touch tone phone with same results. Obviously their information is faulty. An address is given to apply by mail, but no form or list of information required or human contact info so no chance to correct " errors ''. 
The obvious carelessness of these companies, along with revelation that at least 2 of them give different reports to consumers and merchants and lie about it, destroy any credibility. Fortunately I am no longer dependent on loans or mortgages, but have had difficulty in the past despite never having defaulted on an obligation, and very rarely late. I now understand why. 
More concerning to me is the likely exposure of other accounts and information to hackers, either against the bureaus or their customers. 
They should at least be required to obtain permission from their victims before collecting and disseminating private information and have actual contacts available to correct errors. 
Computers will never be hacker-proof, but criminal negligence such as that by XXXX should result in jail time for the culprits, not in fines paid by stockholders.

Please furnish me with the required statements and data ( C ) Procedures to prevent reappearance. A consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to prevent the reappearance in a consumer 's file, and in consumer reports on the consumer, of information that is deleted pursuant to this paragraph and a notice that, if requested by the consumer, a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information shall be provided to the consumer by the agency, including the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available ; Please furnish me with a full description of the procedures used to determine the accuracy of the information.
