Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MD)

Months ago, I have sent a letter to the three credit bureausasking them to update this questionable information, but nothing has changed. I shall take legal action against you because I believe you have not authenticated these things in line with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). This was previously mentioned in my previous COMPLAINT #, and I'm including it once more.

Despite several written requests, the ITEMS stated below continue to appear on my credit report, in violation of the FCRA. The Bureaus failed to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the period specified by law, they failed to adequately investigate the situation by using a third party as their verification provider, and they continued to report unconfirmed and unverified information. Given my attempts to address it directly with three CREDIT BUREAUS, they are intentionally negligent and in violation of federal statutes, and I need this situation resolved soon.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: LAKEVIEW LOAN SERVICING, LLC (TX)

In XX/XX/XXXX, during the COVID pandemic, I was approved for mortgage assistance through a Forbearance Plan. The plan temporarily paused my mortgage payments. My forbearance would expire XX/XX/XXXX. 
However, I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, that informed me my loan modification, prompted by the COVID Forbearance Plan, was complete with my signature. It instructed me to resume payments XX/XX/XXXX, in the amount of {$1700.00}. Responding accordingly my payment was made XX/XX/XXXX. 
In XX/XX/XXXX, I received another letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, informing me I was in default of {$20000.00}, non-payment from XX/XX/XXXX, to XX/XX/XXXX ( see attached ). I immediately responded with detailed documentation showing payment made as of XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ( see attached ). I sent the same information twice and made multiple phone calls hoping for a response or some feedback, I received none. 
Later in XX/XX/XXXX, I received a XXXX package with more loan modification documents requiring my signature. I was confused because I had not received any response to my correspondence. I was concerned if the new process included my information, and why the new modification. I called repeatedly hoping to speak with someone who knew about my case to get some answers, but I could never get passed the front-line agent. I always left a request for a callback, I never received one. I wanted to contact the loan Trustee XXXX XXXX, but I did not know how to contact him, as he did not show in the HUD directory. After numerous calls I was told I needed to sign the papers or lose my home. I received the new modification documents around XX/XX/XXXX, I finally signed them, out of fear of losing my home, XX/XX/XXXX. 
The issue is, the new loan modification pack included a {$53000.00}, HUD loan, and {$11000.00} second mortgage for me. Referred to as a Partial Claim Deed of Trust package. My forbearance was for ten months ( based on the restart date XX/XX/XXXX ) totaling {$18000.00}. This amount was merged into the initial modification when my payments restarted. The unnecessary need for a loan was prompted by LOANCAREs inaccuracies ( sloppy bookkeeping or something more ) keeping my loan in forbearance from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX ( upon receipt of the {$53000.00} ), even though I was making payments as of XX/XX/XXXX ( see confirmed bank reconciliation documents ). Their failure to acknowledge the payments started in XX/XX/XXXX, ignoring my correspondence.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: STATE FARM BANK, FSB (IL)

I defaulted on repayment of a credit card through State Farm XXXX. Received a court summons on matter. I called to arrange payments with listed debt collection agency. Their balance due ( after several payments ) did n't match mine, so I called them. They claim State Farm is charging me interest on balance. When I stopped making payments, my balance was approximately {$5000.00}. When account closed, balance was {$7100.00}. This was amount on court summons. I ca n't even bring up my old account online. I stopped making monthly payments on original credit account sometime in 2013. I attempted to call and make payments on the debt, but they always wanted repayment in full. I am now able to make regular ( every 2 week payments ) to debt collector mentioned, but do n't understand the high interest charge on a closed account.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Company: CCF Intermediate Holdings LLC (TX)

On XXXX at XXXX XXXX, I noticed an odd, missed call from XXXX XXXX on my cell. I called it back after hours and they said there was no record of my having any business with them. This was untrue, I learned on XXXX, the next day. I received a suspicious email in my personal inbox stating, " Welcome to your Account! ". 
I immediately contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX phone number and stated this was fraudulent as I have not nor would not conduct business with CCF Intermediate Holdings. 
I had the misfortune of being relayed to a XXXX Specialist who called herself " XXXX ''. I was immediately prompted to share sensitive information to verify my real identity, which I never wanted them to have, just to ascertain such a fraudulent account existed. I am concerned as to why the Customer Service Department was able to confirm with a first and last name, but their frauds department needed sensitive information. I explained as best I could with what little information, I had that it appeared an active account was opened in my name, email, and phone number. This is a fraudulent activity where someone attempted to open an account using Identity Theft. 
The representative was vague and disinterested, and I was shocked to receive next to zero support while the fraud department expressed the opposite. She was suggesting that my purported suspect may not be correct and rather surmised a ring of fraudsters was to blame. I asked how she could conclude anything prior to investigation and further what depth of familiarity with the matter she was not revealing that may help in my investigation. 
As a victim of fraud, I expected to receive empathy and assistance rather than a sense of opposition or minimally, being unsupported. As it stands, I do not believe the XXXX Department I just spoke about is legitimate and may even be complicit. The individual requested my social security number to validate an account which I was reporting as opened fraudulently and would not validate the address on file after I validated myself. They would not mail a copy of a fraud victim packet to my proper address either, insisting we communicate via email. I had to give another email address. This has yet to be validated or responded to. I was never given a reference number. 
Finally, this is actually and verifiably coming from XXXX XXXX XXXX, not an impersonator. There are now XXXX total credit bureau inquiries damaging my XXXX, XXXX and XXXX history and creditworthiness. This identity theft left a trail of concerns regarding cybersecurity practices and even within a company itself, what internal reviews are conducted to audit staff training and practices. This is unacceptable in XXXX  or anywhere in our country to be preyed upon twice, once by an identity thief, then again by the company 's own frauds department.
