Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OH)

ATTN : Legal Department, This is a notice of dispute pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), section 623, subsection ( 8 ) ( D ). The specific information under dispute is the derogatory nature of the information your agency has furnished to the credit reporting agencies in connection with the following accounts : The basis for my dispute is that, as I understand the code, your office was required to notify me, in writing, prior to, or no later than 30 days after furnishing any negative information to the consumer credit reporting, that such information was being furnished. This notification is required under the FCRA, section 623, subsection ( 7 ) ( A ). To date, I have not received any documentation in compliance with this section.
I am requesting that you provide me with proof of notification, i.e. a copy of the actual notification sent, and proof that it was delivered to me in a timely manner.
If you can not provide proof of notification and date of receipt then you can not substantiate that you complied with the procedures required under the FCRA. In which case, the continued reporting of negative information to the credit reporting agencies in connection with the aforementioned accounts may constitute the reporting of false information, causing damage to my reputation and future credit worthiness.
To resolve this situation, I ask that you investigate this matter, and modify the accounts accordingly. I also ask that you inform the appropriate credit reporting agencies of your actions, and ask that they make the proper updates to the accounts at issue.
It is my understanding that the FCRA 623 ( 8 ) ( E ) ( iii ) establishes a time-frame for these issues, and that section 621 of the FCRA supports my request in this matter. I have also requested the guidance and support of the Attorney Generals   office. The items that appear on my credit report as :  1. AC COUNT NAME :   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   #  XXXX  ACC BAL : {$100.00} This account has never produced a Proof of Claim nor has it responded in the 30 days since notification, error please delete.    2.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Revenue Assurance Professionals LLC (MS)

I requested to validate the alleged debt on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX via registered mail. The letter requested a breakdown of fees including collection costs and medical charges, a copy of my signature with the provider of the service to release my medical information, a copy of my signature with the provider of the service accepting the responsibility of the costs associated with the services provided, and to cease any credit reporting until the debt has been validated by me. Revenue Assurance Professionals received the registered letter on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. It has been well over the 30 days allotted to respond to my request and I have not received any validation of this debt that is being reported on my credit report. Therefore, Revenue Assurance is illegally reporting a invalid debt.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (ID)

I had a foreclosure on my home in  XXXX .  XXXX  reported it on my credit in  XXXX   XXXX . The charge-off is past the statute of limitations. We tried to purchase a home a year ago, but could not.  XXXX   XXXX    XXXX   contacted  XXXX  telling them this debt ( charge-off of {$35000.00}  ) w as too old and needed to be removed. They refused to remove it, stating we had made payments in  XXXX ,  XXXX  and  XXXX  of that  year (   XXXX  ). We were unable to purchase a home due to their fraudulent claims.     I disputed it with  XXXX  and thankfully they removed it. I have tried to dispute with  XXXX   (   XXXX   XXXX   ),  but  XXXX  reported we never missed a payment from  XXXX  to  XXXX  and we make payments on the loan every  3-4 mon ths. They have not reported to Experian any payments received by me, but the total amount is still on that report.     We have received settlement opportunities from  XXXX  in the mail with the original amount of {$35000.00}, with a settlement offer of {$30000.00}. If they have reported we paid faithfully from  XXXX , how is the loan the same amount? Clearly, we have not made any payments whatsoever to them since the foreclosure. I have documentation through my banking that no payments have been made to them. Since there are too many bank statements in a  7-year p eriod to upload for this claim, we are asking that  XXXX  show " proof '' of my supposed payments to them.     At this point, we are going to have to seek out legal counsel, which would be a hardship to do. But, this has prevented us from purchasing a home, paying high rental rates to rent a home and higher interest rates on everything unnecessarily for the past 3 years. This has been so frustrating and devastating to our family not to be able to own a home after 10 years. We are asking to please offer any kind of solution on how to get this resolved as quickly as possible.     Thank you so much for your time with this sensitive matter. We would greatly appreciate any help.     Sincerely,  XXXX

Issue: Customer service / Customer relations — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (FL)

In XXXX, I applied for and was approved for a Citi XXXX XXXX Credit Card. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I received an email reminder because I had n't yet activated my card which ended in XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I received a second email from Citi saying they received the credit card back in the mail as returned. I own a single family house on a major road. It is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called Citi on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and informed them of the email and that I had n't received my card. The representative told me he would send me a new card. Just to be safe for security, he would close my account and send me one with a new number, ending in XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I called Citi as I still had not received a credit card. They told me I had permanently closed my account on the XXXX of XXXX and would not be getting any credit card. Over the course of 2 hours and 15 minutes I was transferred to 7 different representatives as they tried to reopen the account or issue a new credit card. I refused a credit check since one had just been performed in XXXX, the account was permanently closed by a Citi representative inadvertently, and it hurts my score every time a check is performed. I was unable to speak to a supervisor. Reasons given included it was outside their working hours ( no working hours listed when I asked if I could call back ), all on the phone and unable to hold for them, there are n't any supervisors, they do n't have phones. By the end of the call I was told my account would be reopen within 24-48 hours of my XXXX XXXX call. On XXXX XXXX I called in to check the status. There was no update. Again I requested to speak to a supervisor - no dice. 
On the afternoon of XXXX XXXX I received a bill in the mail for the second credit card that was never shipped for {$0.00}. I called in again and was informed that there was no status update after 9 days in regards to the account being reopened but that a supervisor had indeed reached out and called me earlier in the day. I did in fact have a missed call from an unlisted number from XXXX XXXX, no message was left, and the number does not allow call backs. The representative stated only a supervisor could reopen the account and they were doing everything they could. The representative could not place me on hold for a supervisor and could only put in a request for a supervisor to try again in a few days. How is one call without leaving any message or way to contact them back over 2 months doing everything they can?

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (FL)

Today I requested American Express XXXX cash card for a credit increase, and they decline to increase my credit limit because my XXXX score was a XXXX. My XXXX score is not a XXXX it is a XXXX. I viewed my XXXX score through the American Express card app which displayed my XXXX score as XXXX and messages were also forwarded to me to apply for additional American Express cards. 

So, I also tried to apply for American Express XXXX card and American Express XXXX card. They did not impact the credit score but was denied. 

American Express is not reporting or accessing my correct credit or XXXX score and because of it I was denied a credit line increase as well as obtaining additional cards with American Express company. 


I recently filed a complaint on XXXX for incorrect credit reporting a few weeks ago with your organization. Since then, my XXXX XXXX has increased. However, My XXXX score should be higher than the general Credit score which is a XXXX XXXX score.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (NJ)

I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report and found several late payments on my student loans with the dates below : Account Number : XXXX 120 days past due as of XX/XX/2010 90 days past due as of XX/XX/2010, XX/XX/2010 Account Number : XXXX 120 days past due as of XX/XX/2010 90 days past due as of XX/XX/2010 I am not sure how this happened, I believe that I had made my payments to you when I received my statements. My only thought is that this was supposed to be in deferment and it did not get processed correctly or the payments I sent in were not registered.

XXXX   XXXX   2017   Consumer Financial Protection Bureau   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  IA    XXXX  RE :  Complaint Against   XXXX   XXXX   To Whom It  May Conc ern : I have requested from the creditor   XXXX   XXXX   and the  XXXX  major credit bureaus to update my credit report to reflect the correct beginning balance and that the account was paid in full, on a 90 days same as cash transaction. The response was that the creditor verified that the information was reported accurately.     I purchased a sofa with  ottoman f rom  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  and entered into a financial transaction with   XXXX   XXXX   with the intentions on paying off the remaining balance, after an initial down payment, within 90 days ( Same As Cash ) Not only did I pay off the balance in full, I paid it off in 60 days instead o f 90. I a lso have a Certificate of Ownership from   XXXX   XXXX   that certifies that I own the sofa and ottoman outright.     From the beginning, it appears that   XXXX   XXXX   assumed that I wouldnt pay off the merchandise within 90 days so, they reported to the credit bureaus that my beginning balance was over {$2100.00} and the current balance is showing as over {$1800.00}  ( Please  see uploaded documentation from my   XXXX   credit report ). The account balance has never been anywhere close to {$2100.00}. I only paid {$710.00} for the sofa & ottoman. I put down over {$200.00} plus taxes and delivery. I paid the initial, monthly rental payment almost 2 months prior to the   XX/XX/XXXX  due date then the remaining balance of a little more than {$400.00} on  XX/XX/XXXX . The deadline to payoff the balance on the 90 days same as cash agreement was  XX/XX/XXXX .      I demand that   XXXX   XXXX   report the correct beginning balance and that the account is paid in full on all  XXXX  of my credit bureaus. Its damaging my credit and  credit score when it appears that I went out and applied for {$2100.00} in credit when in   fact, it was only {$710.00} and 90 days same as cash.     Thank you.

On XXXX/XXXX/2008 XXXX XXXX XXXX paid {$350000.00} on my account, XXXX. All that was remaining due on the account was some accrued interest in the sum of {$1700.00}, but it was enough to bring the account current, reinstate the mortgage, and the balance should have been adjusted. Instead, U.S. BANK N.A., AS TRUSTEE, ON BEHALF OF THE HOLDERS OF THE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ASSET BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATES, XXXX XXXX, filed a foreclosure action, case number XXXX. It was dismissed for want of prosecution. XXXX attached.

This time, the bank got a foreclosure judgment BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD AN ATTORNEY AND HAD TO REPRESENT MYSELF. I did not know what I was doing. XXXX lied about getting the money and did not tell the court they got paid. XXXX lied about having received the money and filed an affidavit claiming it was still due. The XXXX believed XXXX and granted a judgment. See attached. I requested an affidavit from customer service showing the payment was received, but XXXX is now claiming they do not have any information. They are concealing the receipt of the money. See the attached affidavit from the XXXX employees. I want the bank investigated, and either require them to return the money I paid, or vacate the foreclosure judgment, and give me a release of the mortgage, AS THEY HAVE BEEN PAID AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ATTACHED. If I had stolen money from a bank, I would be in JAIL. They stole {$350000.00} AND they are STEALING MY HOME. I was just served with eviction notice after the fraudulent foreclosure judgment.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX)

My Mortgage bank was XXXX XXXX and my loan servicer was America 's Servicing Company. I fell behind on my mortgage due to lack of employment. I then applied for a loan modification and within 5 months of the beginning of the delinquency, I was solvent again. I diligently responded to each information request and this daunting process lasted two years at which point I filed a lawsuit. The bank willfully complicated the process and gave out misinformation in order to stall the process and increase the delinquency balance in spite of the fact that I had the funds to pay the full amount of the mortgage. They refused to reinstate the payments and instead demanded the delinquent amount be paid in full. I did not have the cash to pay the full delinquency amount which quickly climbed from {$2400.00} to over {$20000.00}, because of fees that were tacked on. My lawyer ( XXXX XXXX out of XXXX, TX ) advised me to stop responding to the banks requests and let the lawsuit begin. XXXX was enthusiastic at the start of the case but soon became despondent. He intentionally filed a bond one day too late and then dropped off the map. He would not return my calls. I hired a second attorney ( XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX ) to continue the fight and I think they lost the case by using an argument that had already been shot down in Texas courts. Then I was advised by XXXX & XXXX to get my property out of the house soon in order to avoid the inevitable eviction ( which XXXX have facilitated the eviction ). I was evicted and homeless for 9 months while I restructured my life and was able to find an apartment. I lost everything fighting this bank that lied throughout the XXXX year modification application process, leading me to believe that I was eligible and that they were there to help. I 've documented the process on my blog page - XXXX

I sought student loan rehabilitation and ECMC stated that I could rehab for 5 % of income/month. I filled out their application and in the fine print in the contract ECMC states that the outstanding balance and collection costs would be capitalized and monthly payments would be based on the recalculated principle and interest balance at time of rehabilitation up to 16 %. I wrote back to the representative and stated that I was going to have a third party look at the contract and would get back to them. While I was seeking third party help ECMC went to court and obtained a garnishment for 15 % of my paycheck.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC (TX)

I recently have had to relocate due to a fire at my home. While looking for a new place to live I was continually being denied for a home, and opening a new bank account. I was informed to call Early Warning Services for the  reason for my denial issues. When I spoke with Early Warning they said their were 3 accounts ( 2 with negative remarks, 1 with a balance ) that XXXX had reported sometime back in XX/XX/2013. I immediately contacted XXXX to dispute the information. The account that had the balance ( {$500.00} ) was already flagged in their systems as fraud, but since I didn't " take care of it '' in the time they alloyed then I would have to be responsible for paying the balance even though it was not made by me. I was a victim of identity theft at that time as well as other accounts not with XXXX and have documentation of the person who confessed to the crime, but was still told I just needed to pay and it was my fault I didn't check in periodically with XXXX for fraudulent activity on a account I didn't even know about. XXXX further informs me that even if I pay there's no guarantee that the negative remarks will be removed from Early Warning. I then disputed the information with Early Warning only to be told the information was correct, even the other 2 accounts that had no balance since I went into overdraft 3 or 4 times but then paid the balance and closed the accounts Im no longer worthy to be trusted by banks or have a home!? I am a single mother of XXXX young children and XXXX, currently not able to get a home for me and my children apparently having to wait 5-7 years to get off information that's inccorect and I was not informed of through phone, mail, or e-mail. I'm requesting the negative remarks or account be removed from Early Warning for not notifying me violating their notice clause of FACTA section 623 ( A ) ( 7 ).
