Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation — Investigation took too long
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

After reviewing my credit report in detail XX/XX/2016 I noticed some aged and old accounts that I decided to dispute. I disputed several accounts that were reporting wrong and were past the 7 years from the first date of delinquency. I have sent over XXXX letters which I wo n't upload all of them but I will upload the most recent. I also contact the creditor people reporting the information and either the letters got returned or they did n't respond. This bureau sent results saying the found the account accurate after talking to the creditor.??? i 'm so confused because these people have n't sent me anything. From what I read the bureaus must complete an investigation and verify certain things with the source and respond within 45 days from date of receipt. I 've discovered multiple holes in their investigation process and I 'm not trying to get them in trouble I 'm simply trying to correct my report. Your site offers a section and I read the " first date of delinquency '' & " 7 years '' to where if it 's been 7 years from that first date you become delinquent then the account must be deleted. Majority of these account fit the guideline and there 's no way the bureaus " verified '' this. Very frustrating bc I feel like they are just trying to keep these account on my credit report so they can make more money on reporting premiums from the creditors who is their clients. As a consumer I feel completely ignored and violated. nOt sure if I 'm the only one but i 'd be willing to bet I 'm not. Hoping they correct some of these mistakes not just for me but for other americans. This has affected me personally bc I 'm trying to obtain financing for a vehicle. 


Accounts in question are : XXXX ( over 7 years ) XXXX ( i believe we first became late of 7 yrs ago ) XXXX ( i was first late over 7 years..? i think this is a duplicate ) XXXX ( i was first late over 7 years ago ) Thank you for your time and i 'm looking forward to getting this resolved. have a great day.

Company: Cooling & Winter LLC (GA)

In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Cooling & Winter Attorneys about a debt that I do not owe them. I responded back to the letter within 30 days as requested. I asked for them to verify the debt and send me all original signed documents. They did not send me any documents with my signature. Instead they sent me a copy of some documents they got from the XXXX County court. The court documents show a total balance of {$2100.00} for all costs but Cooling & Winter document says the balance is {$2600.00}. The fair debt collection practices act says that a creditor must provide me with original documents if I request them. They must verify the debt before attempting to collect the debt. They are also in violation for trying to collect more than the original balance. This debt was disposed XX/XX/XXXX and they are still trying to collect on it.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

I was not served properly of this notice of judgement in XX/XX/XXXX.

After doing some research and finding this firm was Sued by CPFB for XXXX for making false false or empty allegations about consumer debts, Filed lawsuits based on unreliable or false information, Harassed consumers with unsubstantiated court filings which I am now a victim of. Since I filed a complaint with the CPFB ( Consumer Protection Federal Bureau, I just received a letter from them stating the they " previously advised, me that XXXX is the new owner of the judgement after being reported to CPFB. XXXX has now sold my account to another third party. XXXX is now telling me if I do n't keep my arrangement I will be responsible for addition filing and court fees. XXXX also states that they do not report judgements or law suits to credit bureau agencies which is not true.. 
I want this judgement removed from my credit report because I was improperly serviced, the number to the court where the judgement is filed does n't exist because I tried calling it to verify this information. Every thing about New Century and XXXX action does n't feels right.

My mortgage collector, XXXX ( nka Ocwen ) refused payments and forced me to file Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy. My Chapter XXXX was a full repayment plan. After all payments were made the Court confirmed with all Creditors that full payments had been received and they said that nothing was due and owing. 6 months after my bankruptcy was discharged Ocwen claimed ( through notice to my attorney ) that I owed an additional {$8500.00} and threatened foreclosure. My bankruptcy attorney was not helpful with disputing this amount and I was so stressed out that I went ahead and entered into a Loan Modification with them and did not dispute the amount. During the bankruptcy and after I have requested monthly statements. My attorney sent several letters telling the it was ok for them to send monthly statements ; and I have called and faxed/mailed letters asking for monthly statements. I have not received a monthly statement since 2008. When I call they tell me that they have notes saying that I told them to " not '' send statements.

Company: CARDINAL FINANCIAL COMPANY, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (GA)

I applied for a conventional loan, 30 years fixed rate, refinancing of my current home. I specifically asked the mortgage broker if the charged off account needs to be paid. The broker ran my application and came back with an answer that all XXXX does n't need to be paid but XXXX of them need to be paid and the loan moved to next stage. While waiting for the under-writer, I paid the charged off account ( which was already past SOL ) around {$1200.00}. I paid for the home appraisal and appraisal was done. I got a mortgage commitment letter, after the loan was reviewed with the underwriter, saying that any disputes needs to be resolved and also asking for updated bank statement. Today I got an email saying that all charged off ( non-mortgage ) account needs to be paid before they can close my loan for my primary home. This is against XXXX XXXX Guidelines which clearly says that " For one-unit, principal residence properties, borrowers are not required to pay off outstanding collections or non-mortgage charge-offs -- regardless of the amount ''. I have XXXX accounts in my credit report which are charged off 5 years ago. There is a notation in the credit report that total balance is " past due '' which is the result of account being a charged off account. The account is being mistaken as " past due '' when it 's actually a charged off account.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

Following up on an already disputed issue, one which my last inquiry got no response, I am amazed to find that I somehow have a credit card with Bank of America even though it was not usable after my accounts were closed. I had a small amount of credit and attempted to use it and it declined for the smallest of purchase after correspondence stating closure. I called the bank repeatedly and was hung up on several times and disconnected the other few. I am so tired of having to deal with this, I apologize for blaming this bank for not using due diligence in regards to the information I gave to the teller prior to his cashing of the check. I have documented response that my account ( s ) would be closed, the checking account was. How is it I am supposed to pay a credit card you will not allow me to use? This should have been noted, that in fact only the debit card/checking account was no longer in service. However the credit card is in fact not in service either and yet you expect payments? My name is XXXX XXXX, I 'm tired of getting hung up on and disconnected, I am very hopeful for the banks sake this has not go to collections as at that point I will have to escalate this further. How is it that I am unable to open any account through bank of America and all my accounts were closed, yet this remains. Please enlighten me.
