Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NV)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (TX)

As I understand this issue, a student loan account was opened in 2004 for my continuance of education. During this time I had repeatedly tried to resolve the debt through settlement, however, CitiBank did not accept any terms and turned the matter over to a collection agency. The collection firm hired did not follow fair debt collection practices and was forced to remove the charge. CitiBank has now taken this matter a step further and not only have it showing on my credit as a closed/charge off account, but additionally a LATE payment since at some point they have assessed an {$8.00} charge to continue keeping this 10 year old debt matter active on my credit.

Company: Onity Group Inc. (AZ)

I sent in a principal payment of XXXX in online bill pay to be at Ocwen mortgage by XXXX/XXXX/16. I checked my bank balance and mortgage balance daily to see if it posted. By XXXX/XXXX/2016 I finally called the mortgage company and was told they had not received it, they recently had changed their mailing address according to the representative and thats probably why it was missing. They told me to put a stop payment on the check from my bank and gave me the new address to send it to. I put a stop payment on the check and changed the address in my bill pay to the new address. I had the bank resend {$27000.00} on XXXX/XXXX/2016 to be received by XXXX/XXXX/2016 to Ocwen Mortgage. In the meantime I received a letter from Ocwen Mortgage with my previous check attached to it stating they were returning it because if I was paying off my Mortgage loan they needed certified funds. I immediately called Ocwen Mortgage and explained to them that it was simply a principal payment and not a payoff payment. My payoff was {$29000.00} my check was for {$27000.00}. Fast forward my new online check was to be received by XXXX/XXXX/16 and I again checked my balances daily. Finally on XXXX/XXXX/16 and still no record of my payment I contacted Ocwen Mortgage they did say that they received my payment from my bank however payoff payments were to be made by cashiers check and I again explained that it was simply a principal payment. It was then explained to me that my bank who sent the money would have to call them and fax them verification that funds were there and they had subtracted from my account. This is online bill pay I explained and I have been using this for the last 7 years with no problems!! Why now? Finally I was given to an escalation manager and I reexplained my story and I was told that they would take care of it and would call me Tuesday XXXX to let me know status. I received a phone call on XXXX and they left a message stating nothing had been done and they would call me in a day or XXXX. I called them on XXXX XXXX 2016 and again spoke to an escalation manager who was really no help. I explained to her that I would be contacting cfpb if this was not resolved. In the meantime I have been paying interest on a mortgage balance of {$29000.00} instead of {$2500.00} since XXXX/XXXX/16. I simply am trying to have my payment applied to my mortgage.
