I request that you promptly reinvestigate this charge-off account and verify the validity and accuracy of the information with the creditor. If the investigation determines that the information is inaccurate or unverifiable, please ensure it is promptly removed from my credit report, as required by law.

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

[ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ] [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] [ XXXX, Ga, XXXX ] [ XXXX ] [ XXXX ] [ XXXX ] Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX Washington, D.C. XXXX Subject : Complaint Against Equifax for Fraudulent Reporting and Retaliation To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Equifax regarding their fraudulent and malicious actions that have resulted in the wrongful placement of damaging statements and events on my credit report. As well as attempts to conceal said events, by restricting my access to their products ; as evidence will further. These actions appear to be retaliatory in nature, stemming from my previous disputes concerning their negligence and failure to comply with consumer protection laws as outlined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regulations, and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Equifax has knowingly and willfully submitted false information to my credit report, specifically, while investigating dispute, regarding a previously closed charge-off account with XXXX XXXX. They have falsely reported this account as open and currently show that I have 68 missed payments. Prior to this erroneous reporting, I maintained an excellent payment history of 100 %. However, due to these malicious actions, my reported payment history has plummeted to a mere 35 %. This unjust and fabricated alteration directly impacts my creditworthiness and financial stability. 

Despite my repeated attempts to resolve these disputes through Equifaxs established processes, they have chosen to ignore my concerns and instead continue their pattern of deception. This negligence not only violates the standards imposed by the FCRA, FTC, and FDCPA but also constitutes a premeditated effort to defraud my credit standing, leading to unjust consequences for my financial life. 

The impact of Equifax 's actions has been profoundly damaging, resulting in loss of credit opportunities, increased XXXX, and a sense of helplessness in navigating a system meant to protect consumers. By failing to take responsibility for their actions and by engaging in retaliation, Equifax has not only harmed me but has undermined the integrity of the credit reporting system as a whole. 

I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate Equifax 's practices concerning the reporting of consumer credit and to take necessary action against their misconduct. Consumers deserve a system that upholds accuracy, fairness, and accountability, and Equifax 's current actions blatantly contravene these principles. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response and action regarding my complaint. 

Sincerely, [ XXXX XXXX XXXX C/O XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

I have been under active review with this lender for over two months. They have placed my sale date on hold in the past. The underwriter requested further information from me which I provided to them within 5 business days. After calling to make sure they received the information from me, they informed me that they received the documents and that I was in active review but that the sale was still moving forward on XXXX/XXXX/15. I believe that this is dual tracking as they have had a complete file but the underwriter needed another bank statement, which I in fact provided in a timely manner. There is already an opening bid for my home. They are not giving me options to foreclosure. Their tactics are underhanded

Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (IL)

This is the XXXX time in XXXX years that Suntrust Mortgage has grossly mismanaged my escrow account. They continue to say I have an 'overage ' in my escrow and mail me a refund check but then immediately raise my mortgage payment saying there is an 'underage ' for the year. 

So I 've made a lump sum payment to Suntrust to cover the 'underage ' and now I 'm being told they ca n't accept that payment because the escrow needs to come from current payments and not a lump sum. So once again I have an 'overage ' in my escrow account for the lump sum payment I made at the advise of a 'mortgage specialist '. 

This continues to happen once a year with this company and then when I call and speak with 'mortgage specialist ' they provide information to correct the issue which always turns out to be incorrect once I escalate to speak with a manager.

Ocwen mortgage service is a dishonest business.

So on three different occasions they said I did n't type my account number in right. I took a picture of the account number on the last two times I typed my account number and sent them the picture that it was typed in right. They refused to admit they did something shady on there end to change the number. Each time my payment was n't submitted they charge me a total of {$75.00} in late fees and now I can no longer use there service. I was told i have to use XXXX XXXX to pay them. My loan was assumed by them when XXXX XXXX sold my loan to them. I 've had my loan for 11 years and I do n't owe that much more on the loan. Each time my payment was rejected I was sent an email saying I qualify for a harp refinance loan. There company is completely unethical and I want to tell everybody I know and every realtor my husband works for, to not use there business. Please investigate and shut these corrupt people down.
