Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

My account with XXXX XXXX AND XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXX AND XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

I am writing to formally request your intervention regarding a matter with XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion that has not been resolved despite my repeated efforts. I have sent letters to XXXX on XX/XX/year>, and again on XX/XX/year>, requesting that they address issues related to my stolen identity and verify the accuracy of the information on my credit report. To date, I have not received any response from XXXX by mail as I requested. 

In my correspondence with XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion I notified them of the identity theft, and I provided them with instructions to verify any and all accounts listed on my credit report with my original signed documents and physical verification as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 609. Despite my clear demand, XXXX has failed to comply with my request and has not provided the necessary verifiable proof or documentation. 

The lack of response and verification from XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion is a violation of the FCRA and constitutes a failure to address fraudulent accounts and unauthorized addresses associated with my credit profile. I am now left with no choice but to consider their inaction as fraudulent behavior and potentially a breach of my rights under the FCRA. 

Accordingly, I request that the CFPB assist in taking the following actions : Ensure that XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion deletes all fraudulent accounts and addresses that do not belong to me from my credit report. 
Obtain an update letter from XXXX confirming the actions taken and the current status of my credit report. 
Furthermore, I intend to pursue litigation to enforce my rights and seek relief under Sections 616 and 617 of the FCRA, which allow for the recovery of monetary damages due to XXXX non-compliance and any resultant harm. 

I would appreciate your prompt assistance in this matter and request an acknowledgment of receipt of this letter. Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue.

I was shocked this morning to find inaccurate accounts listed on my credit report, and I have no explanation for why theyre there. I routinely check my credit report, but this time I was blindsided by these discrepancies. I even tried refreshing my browser, hoping it was just a mistake, but the inaccuracies persisted. This has caused me significant stress, and I am requesting that the documents Ive provided be meticulously reviewed so that I can finally have peace of mind.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

XXXX, is in violation of multiple laws set forth by Congress in regards to the following account # XXXX. 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) states that the consumer report does not include information solely as to transactions or experiences ( payment history, charge off status ), between the consumer ( me ) and the person ( XXXX ) making the report. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681 s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) states that A person ( XXXX  ) shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer ( ME ) to any consumer reporting agency ( XXXX, Equifax, XXXX ) if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. XXXX can not collect on a discharged debt. This is now considered a certificate of indebtedness per the IRS and income can not be reported. The IRS Clearly defines a charg-off as Gross or Ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes reporting of this account inaccurate! I provided a screenshot from the IRS website, from my Consumer Report. By Definition, the IRS Clearly says a Cancelled debt or Charge off is Income. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate. I never received a 1099-C from XXXX  for the cancelled debt of {$1800.00} in order to file as ordinary income. Where is my 1099-C? XXXX is clearly writing off debt with the IRS without sending out XXXX as required by the IRS for debts greater than { {$600.00} }. This is unsatisfactory! XXXX has been HEREBY PUT ON NOTICE that they are furnishing incorrect inaccurate information. In XXXX terms and conditions they agreed not to share my information with non affiliates. XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX are not an affiliate of XXXX nor are they " bureaus ''. The only true credit bureau is the CFPB and they DO NOT furnish consumer reports as stated in federal law. I have a right to privacy and Per the Privacy Act of 1974 as a federally protected consumer I am now revoking any and all authorization I the consumer may have given you written, non written, verbal, and nonverbal per 5 U.S. Code 552a. Per the FCRA as a federally protected consumer I am now opting out of any and all authorization I the consumer may have given you written, non written, verbal, and non verbal per 15 USC 6802. I shall also point out their responsibility pursuant 15 U.S. Code section 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) ( ii ) : ( a ) DUTY OF FURNISHERS OF INFORMATION TO PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION 1 ) PROHIBITION ( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate ; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate. XXXX must also refund the remaining balance of the consumer account upon its termination.

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

On XX/XX/year> ( XX/XX/year> ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ran a Hard inquiry for a home loan without my authorization. I was told by XXXX XXXX several times in writing that her company WILL NOT run a Hard inquiry until we had finalized the loan, her company runs soft credit checks to gather information. 

I filled out a VA home loan request in which XXXX XXXX XXXX ran a hard inquiry for an FHA loan, then her company ran my credit again making that XXXX hard credit pulls without ANY authorization! I was told by XXXX XXXX she would have those hard inquiries removed and she never did. 

I requested a copy of the report her company pulled, and she refused to send me that information as well as refusing to give me the rates for the FHA loan her company put together when she ran my credit for the first time without authorization. 

I had a co-worker recommend XXXX XXXX XXXX  to me because he used this company for his XXXX XXXX XXXXn. I was told by XXXX XXXX XXXX  they had ran my credit. I was very upset, I told them I was VERY upset and told them I was busy, I would call them back when I got off the phone with the VA. 

During that time XXXX XXXX discussed MY Home Loan information, my details, my credit worthiness and personal information with my co-worker again without my authorization. Then this company told me to go with another mortgage company and refused to assist me anymore after they had violated my trust, my private personal information and hurt my credit. 

I am requesting that the Hard inquires on XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion be removed from my credit report for the following reasons : XXXX. This hard inquiry was Unauthorized. 
XXXX. This company gave out personal information to a third party without authorization. 
XXXX. This company refused to give me the results of the inquiry. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX  refused to remove hard inquires from All three ( XXXX ) credit bureaus when requested.

She has not given me the numbers they ran that day. 

To qualify for a XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I needed a credit score of XXXX, I had the credit score, even if I didn't qualify for a XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  should have contacted me so I could have authorized a hard pull on my credit to see if I wanted to use a FHA XXXX and give up all the benefit 's XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX has to offer and to give up what I fought hard to earn. I didn't suffer in XXXX to have my XXXX loan thrown aside because your employee made a mistake, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX is a lot better than a FHA XXXX. It just doesn't make sense what your company tried to do.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: ATLANTIC BAY MORTGAGE GROUP LLC (VA)

My husband and I placed an offer on a house for an investment property in XX/XX/2022. We used Atlantic bay for a conventional loan. Our offer for the house was XXXX with the seller paying almost XXXX in closing. We pay over asking price so the seller we pay most of the closing cost. We got out Closing Disclosure and it had us paying $ XXXX. Before getting the closure document we called, emailed, and text asking what do we need to bring to closing? I even called the day before closing asking what that number was and XXXX XXXX said she was looking for it and would call me back and she did not. 

We get to closing thinking that the previous closure document was correct. We are then told that we have to pay almost {$4000.00} more than what we were told. I asked why and the lawyer said it was because Fannie Mae only lets the seller pay up to 2 %. This was never communicated to us. Otherwise, we would have renegotiated with the seller. We asked was there anything we can do to our title company ( XXXX XXXX ). And she said no, we all dropped the ball but sorry there is nothing you can do. We never received an updated Closing Disclosure document, and no one communicated with us that this number had changed. The lender found out about this change on XXXX. ( Even though this is standard ) We closed on the XX/XX/XXXX and no one still communicated with us. This cost about {$4000.00} that we did not plan on paying at closing.
