Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NC)

I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report.

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft.

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue with the application process
Company: RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC (PA)

My home mortgage was acquired by Roundpoint Mortgage Servicing LLC, and I received a letter informing me of such in XX/XX/XXXX. Prior to Roundpoint 's acquisition of my mortgage, I had requested of the prior mortgage holder to have the purchase mortgage insurance ( PMI ) fee removed. I reiterated this request with Roundpoint on XX/XX/XXXX. Only with repeated calls and emails to Roundpoint was my request addressed this summer. I was told by Roundpoint that the PMI could only be removed through a formal appraisal through Roundpoint at my expense. I agreed to proceed, although the cost, charged to me, seemed exorbitant. Eventually the appraisal was done and the PMI was removed, but not until XX/XX/XXXX. Prior to, immediately after and dozens of times since Roundpoint sent an appraiser to my home, I have asked for a copy of the appraisal. It has not yet been forthcoming. 

Roundpoint was apparently acquired by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( publicly traded on XXXX as XXXX ) in XXXX. My experience with Roundpoint customer service has been appalling -- unanswered emails, hours unsuccessfully trying to get a real person through their customer service phone number, people unwilling to share their names or any way to get back in touch when I did speak with anyone directly, assurances that the required home insurance billed to Roundpoint would be paid through my escrow account ( which it was not ), unfulfilled promises to provide a copy of the appraisal to me, etc. Instead, Roundpoint tried to sell me insurance through them for my home.

Company: Nelnet, Inc. (TN)

XX/XX/XXXX I attended XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX In, under the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I enrolled due to their advertising of immediate XXXX XXXX after graduation and high success rate, but I learn throughout that was not the case. The professors where not all certified to teach, so the program was a waste of time and money spent. When I graduated in XXXX I was not placed in a position or job program, but instead was sent on interviews with the majority of my other class members, where we had to bid for job positions. There was no actual program put in place to support us after graduation. In fact, once I graduated I was pretty much on my own. I was also coerced into paying for a Coding Certification I was advised was needed, that was not accepted by most companies due to not being XXXX XXXX. The XXXX XXXX loan I took out for {$2600.00} then, went into Default due to not being able to find a job, I was threaten by XXXX XXXX of having this reported to the credit bureau as well as having my future income tax and payroll withheld, if I didn't make a payment. I finanlly had to find a part-time job through staffing, to help me work while I find something permanent. In XXXX my loan defaulted. I was mislead into consolidating it in XXXX. The XXXX XXXX was then sold to XXXX I think, then Nelnet. Every year I was put into high interest IDR /Income Driven repayment programs with promises of a better credit score or lower rates. My loan is now at {$28000.00} due to growing interest and I now found out Nelnet sold my loan to Sloan Servicing who stated that they do not honor the IDR that I previously was under.I had to recertify with them for a different plan. They recertified me under a higher payment plan than I couldnt afford, and was not willing to work with me. I feel like Ive been mislead since the start of all of this. The predatory lending practices of all these companies should be reviewed thoroughly by the government.
