In XXXX my husband and I put solar panels on our house. At that time there were news stories about people having trouble with leasing them. So we purchased ours. We took the loan thru XXXX XXXX and were told they would put a lien on our home. We were told specifically that this would not be a second mortgage, but an installment loan. If I had thought this would be a second mortgage I would have gone thru a mortgage company to obtain the loan. Unfortunately, we were late on this loan less than a year ago when my husband left his job. This was due to XXXX after the loss of our son 2 years prior. We sold our house in XXXX of XXXX and moved home to be near my family in XXXX XXXX. We have been staying with a gracious family member while we attempt to obtain a loan for a home. However, we have been told that we can not obtain a loan because the XXXX loan is reporting as having been late within the last year and is considered a second mortgage. I have contacted XXXX a number of times ( XXXX ) in order to find out what kind of loan this was. I was told this was an installment loan on more than one occasion and even have an email from them stating so. However, they are telling the credit reporting companies this was a second mortgage and now we are unable to obtain a home loan. IN the least, this is false advertising, or a bait and switch. I can't believe the interest we paid on a loan that I could have had funded by any local bank for half the interest. And in the worst, I was lied to, if I had known they were reporting as a second mortgage, I would have waited a year before uprooting my family and moving across country. Please help.

I was shocked this morning to find false accounts on my credit report, and I cant understand how this happened. I review my credit regularly, but today, there were mistakes that seemed to appear out of nowhere. Hoping it was just a glitch, I refreshed my browser several times, but nothing changed. The inaccuracies were still there. Im now asking for a thorough review of the documents Ive sent so I can finally feel at ease and stop stressing over this issue.

I have a Citibank double cash credit card that shows an available balance. Citi states they closed the account in 2023 but has been unable to provide documentation showing they closed the account. I have spoke with Citi and the agents were unable to explain why an available balance would be showing if the account was closed. After speaking to Citi they sent notification that they can not reopen the account since it has been too long since it was closed. Again the account does not show closed on their online site and shows with an available balance. The attaches screen shots are from XXXX. On the screen shows there is a closed account that shows how Citi displays when an account is closed. Again the Citi XXXX XXXX does not show closed.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, you are required to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information you report. The reported late payment is inaccurate and must be corrected immediately. The case XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) established that credit reporting agencies must take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of the information in consumer reports, including investigating disputes regarding incorrect data. I request that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter, update my credit report to remove this incorrect information, and provide written confirmation once the correction has been made. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect a timely resolution in accordance with FCRA requirements. 

I HAVE BEEN SENDING DISPUTES TO THE CREDIT BUREAUS SINCE XX/XX/XXXX AND NOT ONE TIME HAVE, THEY RESPONDED. ALL THEY DO IS SEND THEM SYSTEM GENERATED LETTERS ABOUT A DISPUTE NOT BEING FROM YOU. WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHO SENT IT. JUST DO YOUR JOB.

I needs this removed from my account its hurting my ability to obtain credit Upon reviewing my Consumer Reports, I discovered some instances of late payments on an account for which I have always maintained timely payments. Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in accurately reporting consumer information. It is imperative that this information be reported with utmost accuracy. I have never missed a payment on the following by account : XXXX XXXX. I request a thorough investigation into these discrepancies and urge you to provide evidence, such as statements, demonstrating the lateness of these payments. If unable to furnish such proof, I demand that these payments be promptly updated to reflect their true status as on-time, as I have consistently upheld my payment obligations without delay!

I previously sent a letter asking for the documentation you used to verify these late payments, such as a transactional history, since what's reporting is not in line with any of my records and I know for certain that what's reporting is incorrect and inaccurate. Late payments affect my scores by a great deal, for sure you know that. How would you feel if the late payments reporting are not true but it keeps on weighing down your scores. SEE ATTACHED.
