Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MI)

To Whom It May Concern, I am extremely disappointed that inaccurate information has been included in my credit report. The Fair Credit Reporting Act gives me the right to dispute any such information, and I demand that this be rectified as soon as possible. I understand that creditors are required to document and validate the data in my credit report before using it. I find it unacceptable that allegations of delinquency and derogatoriness against me have been made, which are completely false. I will fight back with all my strength, but I need evidence that supports the negative status of my accounts. I request that you provide proof of a permissible purpose for the inquiry or account within my report. Your lack of attention to detail in compiling my credit report is disappointing, and I must say that you are not doing your job properly. Immediate action is imperative to resolve this issue ; otherwise, there could be serious consequences. I am giving you a 30-day window from the date of delivery to resolve this matter, and I hope that everything can become clear and correct itself without the need for intervention or escalation. 

XXXX - XXXX I am writing to dispute the late payment reported on my credit report. The late payment listed is inaccurate as I have consistently made payments on time. I request that this information be verified with proper documentation. If you can not verify the accuracy of this information, I request that you remove it from my credit report immediately.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Issue: Credit decision / Underwriting — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (IL)

I applied for a 20 year mortgage refinance from Chase bank. I have excellent credit, and a 15 year work history as a prosecutor, in house counsel, and sole-practioner. The original mortgage has never had a late payment. The underwriting process dragged out for months even after I supplied all necessary documents, and I was eventually denied credit by Chase. The appraisal for the property came back {$380000.00} and the amount of the loan was to be {$200000.00}. I have never had a late payment on any account including the current mortgage for the last 10 years. I am damaged because the underwriting process took far too long ( well past 30 days for the decision ) and interest rates have now gone up. Additionally, there is a credit inquiry on my credit report from Chase.

Company: HANCOCK WHITNEY BANK (LA)

On XX/XX/XXXX I brought a check for {$130000.00} payable to myself, my husband, and our mortgage company, Whitney Bank to the bank. The check resulted from our claim due to flood damage. The bank said they would send the check to XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ), the company which services their accounts. I also gave them copies of receipts for {$26000.00} that we had already paid out toward renovating our flood damaged home. XXXX later sent us a check for {$22000.00}. I had been told during two phone conversations with them that I would receive a XXXX of the insurance check amount in XXXX draws as we progressed on the renovation. I have contacted both Whitney and XXXX to try to find out why I did not get a XXXX of the insurance money. XXXX says they wish they could help me, but said it was up to XXXX. XXXX with XXXX called me yesterday and said the amount was determined by " a federal law '' ( her exact term ). When I questioned that, she said the local bank manager could decide how much to disperse. I asked if the bank manager could make a decision to override a " federal law, '' and she said yes. She said her company just does the paperwork for the bank. My husband and I are frustrated that the bank is not giving us a fair amount of our insurance proceeds, and that the XXXX companies involved say the other company is responsible. While the mortgage company ( XXXX or Whitney? ) holds most of the money, we are paying for the renovations, by writing checks on our second mortgage line of credit at Whitney which means we are paying them interest while they happily hold on to our insurance proceeds.

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (CA)

I am a XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX veteran. My compensation is all I have. On XX/XX/year> my son and I went to XXXX to purchase snacks and I swiped my USAA debit card. When we returned home I received an alert from USAA stating that they were trying to reach me to verify a charge to my account. Upon opening my account through the mobile app I noticed there was a charge for {$45.00} from XXXX in XXXX, Florida. There was also an insufficient funds alert for {$240.00} for some headphones. I replied to the text message alerts with XXXX because I did not authorize any charges on my account. Shortly I then received a phone call from USAA, from USAAs number, the representative on the phone stated they were from the fraud department and that they were there to help. He began asking me did I make a purchase from XXXX, I replied I did not and that also there was an insufficient amount alert for {$240.00} that was also not me. The USAA representative stated that they would need to protect my accounts and block any further incoming transactions. He sent me a message to verify my pin, ( come to find out later that USAA does not do this and that is how I found out I was scammed ) and that he will help me transfer the money in my savings account into an account where my money would be safe while they secured my USAA accounts. They asked if I had an XXXX XXXX account and I did. They opened another USAA account for reason. They transferred money ( {$2500.00} ) from my savings to XXXX XXXX and then to a bank called XXXX. I was then told I would receive a phone call tomorrow for further instructions. XX/XX/year> I received a call from the same USAA number and this time it was a female voice stating to me that everything is being taken care and that she can see that I have an acorns investment account and a cash app account. Thats when I asked how can you see that have these accounts from my USAA account? The phone hung up and I called the bank back. When I was connected to a representative I relayed everything that happened before the phone hung up and what happened the day before. The representative quickly let me know that USAA doesnt ask to verify codes and unfortunately I was scammed. I was transferred to fraud department, told them the account of things. The fraud department representative let me know that an investigation was underway and that USAA would be discontinuing any banking with me. All of my accounts were closed and I received a letter stating that they did not find any fraudulent activity and that would be receiving any left over amount in my accounts ( which was {$.00} ) via check. I have never been through anything like this, and as long as Ive been with USAA I feel Ive been taken advantage of, I sought to seek help and received none. I wasnt able to pay my mortgage, car note and other bills because of this incident, putting my family in a financial hardship.

These can be combined On my credit report, you have shown incorrect accounts that should not be there at all. This is not only unjust to me, but it's also concerning, because I've never done or made any of the things you accuse me of. If you don't look into these accounts, I'll take legal action against you.

I recently discovered that I am the victim of identity theft and have had several accounts, leases, utilities taken out in my name fraudulently. 

I learned his information after being denied for a lease due to information found on my credit bureau reports to which this account was included. I got a police report and a FTC Identity Theft report as well as medical documents detailing my complete XXXX XXXX and information on the perpetrator of the fraud, this was furnished to each of the credit bureaus when obtaining my initial fraud alert and issuing security freezes. I was assured they would block this information from appearing on my report and furnish the businesses with this information so they could take appropriate actions for their companies. 

All went well until recently when XXXX XXXX  decided to assert their right to " reinsert '' information back onto my credit bureau reports stating they had verified the account. I asked both the credit bureaus and XXXX XXXX for the documentation used to make this determination, but was told the investigation was done and they could provide no further assistance save for a 100 word consumer statement. 

This account is having serious, detrimental effects on my life. Just taking my immediate situation into account, I am currently unable to obtain housing because of the detrimental payment history and balances created as a result of this identity theft event. After furnishing medical records showing my complete incapacitation, documents from law enforcement, namely a police report and FTC Identity Theft report, and information on the identity of perpetrator and their incarceration I simply can not accept a 100 word statement for an account I did not open.

Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA (FL)

I have been calling Kia ( knfusa.com ) since XX/XX/2022 about payments being misapplied on my loan. I have been making payments in excess of the amount due, in an effort to pay down the principal balance on the loan. Kia keeps applying the overpayment as partial payments for the following month. 

I have called more than 5 times about this, have escalated to supervisors on at least 4 occasions since XXXX but they still have not corrected it. Worse than all of that is the awful customer service I've received from their agents. One hung up on me, another told me that they can't help and it's just too bad. I have been going on and on with this issue for weeks and I am tired. 

I am currently on the phone right now, trying to get to someone who can/will correct the misapplied payments.
