Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score — Problem getting my free annual report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OR)

I used the XXXX website to request my credit report online and was refused. I have been delayed in obtaining a mortgage recently by some detail in my credit report, and needed to obtain my credit reports immediately, in order to clear up any discrepancy. When I submitted my request on the website, each of the XXXX credit reporting agencies refused to provide a report, and instructed me to request it in writing. This will cause weeks and weeks of needless delay in completing a mortgage request.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL)

While I now have seemingly countless complaints against Bank of America, the only reason for this is because of their continued avoidance to address the issues so they continue on even they inaccurately state the issues have been addressed, resolved, and closed. I still have n't figured out if it 's intentional, some sort of strategy, or just incompetence but that does n't really change the situation that they refuse to deal with the issues. It has gotten to such an extreme that the basis of this complaint is that they are now simply cut and pasting responses. This was never so evident as the last issue which was related to their simply providing document after document and it became impossible to keep up with disposing of the same documents over and over again but yet their response was related to another issue related to insurance. It was a precise cut and paste. The worst part is that the insurance issue was also essentially a cut and paste from previous issues but it required action on their part since they incorrectly accused me of not having insurance when I did and I fear they simply did n't even read the issue and did the cut and paste. This really is leading to the belief it 's incompetence but the funny/sad part is that everyone in this process is being paid for their time except for me and the only XXXX executive in this entire process. My motivation is to get answers, to get fair resolutions, it 's not to waste my time or anyone else 's but the second I stop responding and pointing out these issues is the point where all the previous time spent is for nothing and that 's now in the XXXX of hours which equates to XXXX of dollars. BOA does n't care about my time, they only care about greed and covering their butts when they do make mistakes. Again though and to ensure I 'm clear, the basis of this complaint is simply that they are now providing cut and paste responses which goes even further than their usual avoidance of issues.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (LA)

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Specialized Loan Servicing accepted funds from the Hardiest Hit Fund and applied {$77000.00} to the loan and it was current. I have been making payments on time with no issues since XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX i tried to make a payment for XX/XX/XXXX and the customer service representative XXXX XXXX told me that my mortgage account was in default and i had not make a payment since XX/XX/XXXX. Then she did some research and told me to call back in 5 days and that she could not accept a payment, and i informed her that i need to make a payment in order to keep my loan current, and she hung up the phone in my face. 

I called back on XX/XX/XXXX spoke with customer representative and he informed my that the hardiest hit funds had not been applied to my account so my loan had to be recast to include funds that had not been applied to my account this was a surprise because i have made all payments on time and i have proof with my bank statements and i informed him that i have not missed a payment and he told me he can see that in my payment history however i will not be charged a late fee when i pay within 48 hours. 

Called back on XX/XX/XXXX spoke with a supervisor XXXX XXXX and he advised me that he was creating a ticket so that they can apply {$77.00} and my last 8 or so payments and the loan will be current within 48 hours. I am so confused about how i have spoken to more than XXXX customer services representatives and none of them have no idea what is happening with my Home Loan that was current for 9 months then all of sudden it is delinquent.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

Wells Fargo Dealer Services has continously overcharged for the auto loan on my 2006 XXXX and kept me uninformed about details of my loan and its terms. 

1 ) I just found out from a wells fargo dealer services representative that I was assessed/enrolled in comprehensive auto insurance through the Auto dealer XXXX at the time of the purchase as part of the reuirement to qualify for the loan..At the time of the purchase I was not informed of this requirement. I was alo asked to get a second comprehensive insurance for the duration of the loan which I also purchased independently. In essence I was asked to carry XXXX insurance policies on the same auto. 

2 ) In reviewing my loan payments it appears my interest rate on the loan was raised without any notification. Wells Fargo Dealer Services reps have been extremely rude when inquireing about my loan issues and very uncorporative with information about the details of the loan and its terms. 
3 My car was reposessed after only one month late on my loan payments. Fees and charhges for repossession, storage and penalties appear to be excesive. 
4.Wells Fargo continues to charge for auto insurance ( wells fargo insurance ) even though I have comprehensive insurance on the my vehecle and have notified them of it. 
. 
If and where there have been deliberate overcharging and exploitation I want a refund on the overcharges and excesive fees.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (WV)

On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I went to TransUnion where I intended to pay {$1.00} charge to see my credit score. I was careful to look around to make sure that I did n't sign up for a monthly credit monitoring service because the website felt like it was n't designed to be clear about what I was about to pay for. I wanted to see my credit score and felt like any of the XXXX major credit bureau 's surely would n't be predatory. I woke up this XXXX with a {$19.00} charge from TransUnion and a {$21.00} charge from XXXX. I happened to get an email from my credit card company alerting me to transactions. Otherwise, I would have never noticed these charges. After much searching, it turns out that the only way to cancel these services is to call. None of these services sent me an email receipt. 

I would like the CFPB to stop the XXXX credit bureau 's from operating in shady ways to make money. These bureaus exist to reflect our individual integrity to potential creditors. They should operate with the highest level of integrity and not take advantage of people with confusing and tricky tactics.

They ordered an appraisal and charged my account before I was approved. They then tell me they may approve the loan in I took cash out. They just wanted to charge me more and make more money. They will not credit my account. They lied about it to get me to give them my account info. They said I ordered the appraisal.

Company: Onity Group Inc. (FL)

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX a foreclosure sale for the property was cancelled by a Magistrate in the XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Florida. Despite the Magistrate order for cancellation of the foreclosure sale, Ocwen took the property as theirs and the property was held as real estate owned ( XXXX ) by Ocwen on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. There was no legal conveyance and therefore no legal transfer of legal title of property from XXXX person to another allowing Ocwen to legally take property as REO on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX the Judge instructed me to contact Ocwen directly to resolve the matter as the bank had taken the property from me and I was not able to apply for a loan modification or to sell the property. After the hearing, Ocwen 's attorney gave me additional contact information for XXXX XXXX, Loss Mitigation Supervisor at XXXX XXXX, representing Ocwen. XXXX XXXX sent me an email on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that the property was XXXX. This was before XXXX/XXXX/XXXX foreclosure sale date when Ocwen stated they " bought the property and took title. 
Ocwen refused to return the property to me and I was evicted on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX even thought they had wrongfully taken my property on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX against Court orders. The sale cancellation documents are attached to show that the sale was cancelled on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. When I called Ocwen Customer Service on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to get the balance of what I owed I was told that I no longer owned the property and the property was real estate owned by Ocwen 's company called XXXX and that the only thing I could do was to re-purchase the property from them. I called numerous times and there was absolutely nothing that I could have done because Ocwen refused to put the property back in my name since XXXX/XXXX/XXXX.

Hi, I would like my free annual credit report. I am ineligible for retirement benefits from the US Social Security System - hence the credit bureaus do not have a social security number ( SSN ) on file. 

I can not use the website ( XXXX ) or the automated telephone system ( XXXX ) since both require a SSN. When I eventually get to a human in the credit bureaus, they are unhelpful as they refuse to investigate to get my credit report from their system ( which requires a SSN ). It is very frustrating and time consuming. 

Please instruct all XXXX credit bureaus ( Experian, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX to provide my free credit report. 

Thank you

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately.

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity.

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
