Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (AZ)

Hi, I disputed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX on all three credit reports. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX said they had verified my account properly. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX did not verify this account properly and they are still reporting it on my credit report. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 

I have attached the type statement up sent me.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (PA)

After several months of XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX having issues with the updating system ( from XX/XX/2022 to Approximately XX/XX/2022 ) for all of their store cards and not reporting for several months, they were finally able to confirm my XXXX Card account was indeed still open, although it showed closed by the creditor on all 3 major credit bureaus. 

I then proceeded to dispute the information on my credit report with each bureau, not one ( results posted XX/XX/XXXX ), not two ( results posted XX/XX/XXXX ), but three times including requesting reinvestigation ( XX/XX/XXXX ) AND uploading current billing information which showed the status of the account as open, never having been closed, and used in the time it was reporting as closed. The results keep saying the account is updated to : closed by credit grantor which is UNTRUE. THEN when trying to at least add a statement to this fiasco until it is appropriately resolved, I am only able to select pre-worded statements by Experian, none of which suit the situation. Therefore leaving me unable to at least note the account is still in fact OPEN. 

While this may have been as a result of data error from the creditor, it took me no more than a 10 minute phone-call to account services to verify that this account is in fact still open, so between investigators doing the same WITH A CURRENT BILL AS PROOF, there is no reason for these findings. 

As it is an account with perfect payment history and almost 7 years worth of history, showing it as closed by the creditor has caused undue harm to my credit score and credit worthiness. I have given Experian MULTIPLE opportunities to fix the issue, it is obvious they do not even ATTEMPT to investigate. 

Through these actions my rights have been violated under FCRA policies and I fully intend to pursue remedies up to and including punitive damages against Experian.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I have attempted to contact all three major credit bureaus, including XXXX, Experian, and XXXX, in order to address errors on my credit report and improve my credit score. Despite these efforts, I have not received a satisfactory response from the bureaus within the required 30-day timeframe, and this failure to respond has had a negative impact on my credit and financial situation. As a frustrated consumer, I am now considering filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to ensure that my rights are protected and that the credit bureaus are held accountable for their lack of response.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA (MN)

My loans were originally serviced by XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted the attached form to XXXX XXXX in order to request loan forgiveness. Based on previous work experience, this would have put me at 120 payments. I called XXXX XXXX and they verified that all my employment verification paperwork was correct and that I had 120 payments required for forgiveness. 

XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, my loans were transferred from XXXX XXXX to MOHELA. It took approximately 3 weeks for my loan information to show up in MOHELA 's website. When the information did show up, it showed that there were 111 payments that were eligible. 

Payments from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX are marked as " Employment Not Certified '' even though the attached document clearly states that I was employed at a XXXX XXXX during this time. Payments past XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) have been approved and I have not changed employers during this time. 

I called MOHELA on XX/XX/XXXX to ask why the payments did not come over, and they stated to upload the PSLF Application again to their website in order to verify the form was correct. The customer service representative further verified that I had enough payments and that it was filled out correctly. I was told that it would take up to 90 business days in order to process this form. 

Around the end of XX/XX/XXXX, the form went from a status of " Processing '' to " Processed ''. I waited a few days for the website to reflect the additional qualifying payments, but it remained at 111 qualifying payments. They still did not count the payments from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. 

I called MOHELA on XX/XX/XXXX to voice my concern about the payments not being correctly applied. I stepped them through the process, and the representative agreed with me. The representative told me that it would go back into " Processing '' and would be reviewed within _another_ 90 business days. 

This is now 6 months of waiting on a correct form to be approved. Multiple agents have verified my paperwork and employment. Instead of processing the form, they are purposefully delaying me 90 business days whenever I speak to them. 

This is an unfair business practice. I have jumped through all of their hoops and my forgiveness just keeps getting pushed further and further into the future.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Onity Group Inc. (FL)

I refinaned a mortgage I had with PHH Mortgage. I was approved by XXXX XX/XX/20 and all the paperwork went through and was finalized the following week. PHH was to return escrow to me of {$1600.00}. As of today, I have not received it. 
After realizing around the end of XXXX that the refund might come in both mine and my deceased husband 's names, I call PHH as what to do. I was instructed to send them a copy of the death certificate and that if the check goes out in both names a stop payment will be made and a new one issued. Should take about 20 business days. 
I received check dated XX/XX/20 in both names. So, I waited a couple weeks and nothing. I called PHH back on XX/XX/20 to see what's the hold up and was told they have the copy of death certificate and she would put in for new check. Still no check on XX/XX/20, so I called again rather irate and was transferred to an aescalation manager. I was then instructed to fax a copy of the XX/XX/20 check and that is the policy. Why wasn't I told this back in XXXX? I don't have access to a fax machine, so they said I could scan it. 
From then up until Thursday last week I've been receiving so called " updates '' that the check has been approved and being mailed to me. 
I checked Informed Delivery on USPS website and as of this email, no check. 
I feel they're keeping my money as long as they can get away with. There must be laws as to when escrow money has to be returned. Also, after 3 months shouldn't they be paying me interest on my money. 
Please advise.
