Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

On or around XX/XX/2022, I filed a complaint against the credit bureaus credit reporting and improper use of my credit report. The bureaus response to my complaint was that they would re-investigate my consumer report for the accounts I listed as violating my rights and would respond back within 30-60 days. According to the FCRA the term investigate a consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews, with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with whom he/she is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. 
The credit bureaus stated that they updated/verified my accounts based on their investigation but how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law? Also after their investigation ever piece of information on these accounts are STILL NOT reporting 100 % Accurate. I have the credit report showing all 3 bureaus reporting. I have placed an x by all of the inaccurate or missing information that shows the discrepancies amongst the 3 bureaus reporting of the following accounts : XXXX acct # XXXX, XXXX  XXXX acct # XXXX, XXXX  XXXX acct # XXXX, XXXX  acct # XXXX, XXXX XXXX  acct # XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX acct # XXXX, XXXX  acct # XXXX, XXXX  acct # XXXX, XXXX acct # XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  acct # XXXX XXXX XXXX acct # XXXX XXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  acct # XXXX XXXX 

These accounts are STILL reporting inaccurately and your company is STILL continuing to report errors on my credit file, which is causing damage to my credit score. I have previously requested that you investigate this information and you have failed to correct the errors you are reporting on my credit report. Now is not the time to update, I demand that you IMMEDIATELY DELETE this inaccurate information from my credit report or you send me {$1000.00} per violation.

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: FRANKLIN AMERICAN MORTGAGE CO. (NM)

I 've had many issues with Franklin American Mortgage company. However my chief complaint with them and reason for coming to the cfpb, is the fact that they sent an inspector out to my home after I had become delinquent on some payments and that inspector took it upon themselves to turn off my water. Once that inspector turned off my water without my knowledge, the boiler that runs on gas proceeded to still run and the gas burned up my boiler. Now my boiler caused a small fire in my home and that fire has ruined my boiler. When I called the mortgage company and asked them what they sent an inspector to my home for, they said that it was because I was delinquent on payments. But at the same time I had also already supplied them with XXXX applications for short sale / deed-in-lieu of foreclosure documents. I have been working with the company since approximately XXXX of 2016 trying to get a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure started. However I got nothing but the runaround for almost the entire process and it took an entire month to just get them to send the application to me. After the application was sent to me the first time it was processed but they never sent me any notification that they required additional documentation so they just closed out the application. The next time I started the application over they actually lost the documentation and now I 'm in the third time of having to send them the application. When I asked to elevate it to a supervisor, the supervisor gave me an incorrect extension and fax number for them. Luckily and thankfully the VA that also is in charge of my loan, called me and they are now assisting me with getting the correct documentation over to the subservicing company. However at this current time I am over {$9000.00} delinquent and I feel that that amount would be much less if they would have just aproved the initial short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure documents. And on top of it all, I understand that I am delinquent on payments, however I feel that they should not harass me by calling every evening after XXXX finally after telling the VA all of this, they suggested that I contact the cfpb with a complaint and ask the cfpb to assist in getting the mortgage company to purchase a new boiler for the home in question. My insurance will not cover it because the XXXX person who dealt with the boiler on fire, would not provide a more detailed statement due to liability issues. I would like to thank you in advance for reviewing this complaint and I look forward to hearing from someone regarding this.

Issue: Transaction issue — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (WA)

For me, there was a single order at XXXX, but at Bank of America there are multiple transactions posted on XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. XXXX charged me multiple times in very odd amounts that do n't even match individual product prices. There were XXXX items ordered. A desk, a console, and XXXX bookcases. The desk arrived damaged ( crushed on a corner ), was returned, and replaced. The replacement arrived damaged ( crushed on a corner again and a large scratch ). The console table arrived damaged ( with a large scratch and ). When the XXXX bookcases arrived, but I refused to received them and they were sent back. XXXX send me emails that do n't even match what happened in reality. They show only XXXX item being refused even though both were. They show the desk replacement is still being shipped. It is a complete mess. 

I have called XXXX five times. Five times! I was promised corrections and credits. None of that happened. I emailed the CEO ( seriously ) and got a response that this issue would be resolved ( I kept the email ). I received one call from the executive office and called back three times. No response. No resolution. I should not be charged for items I did not receive and I should not be charged for damaged items. XXXX should have resolved this, but they have not. I am tired of dealing with this and just want a refund. I received damaged items ( they were not damaged from shipping, they were damaged by the manufacturer from what I can tell ). 

So I called Bank of America to have the issue resolved. They told me that they would not do it. I have protection services on my account as well. The representative did not seem to care and told me that I had to work directly with XXXX. I have been working directly with XXXX but they are not resolving the issue at all. Bank of America should be taking care of this and not telling me this is my fault. I ordered products that were either not received or were received damaged. I tried to resolve this issue and have wasted weeks on it, but no resolution and no one will help me. I just want this mess over with and I want a refund. Since I have only XXXX order at XXXX, anything to do with XXXX should just be refunded. I will never purchase from them again. Ever. And I am seriously deciding if it is worth keeping Bank of America since they do n't even honor their own credit card agreement.

I started making my 3 trial payments with the understanding that BOA will report to the CRAS that I was making the trial payments and all the future payments under the modification according to the letter they sent me ( although, from what I understood under HAMP guidelines, if a customer is current during a loan modification period, the lender must report them as current to the CRAs ). Obviously, this has not happen with my home loan account with Bank of America despite being making payments on time every single month as stipulated under the permanent loan modification approved since XXXX, XXXX with first payment sent in XXXX XXXX under the permanent modification ( please see record of payments attached ).

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NC)

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.

My father passed away in XX/XX/XXXX. He was living in a condo with my brother as joint tenant. While my father was alive, I had power of attorney. When my father passed, he left no estate other than the condo, which passed to my brother without having to go to probate. I was named personal representative of my father 's estate, but since there were no other assets, there was nothing to probate. My father 's condo was financed with Quicken Loans. My brother is currently living in the condo and is making the mortgage payments. The problem is, he has fallen behind in his payments and now Quicken keeps calling me. I have explained to Quicken MANY MANY MANY times that they need to speak with my brother. I have provided them with my brother 's telephone number and he has confirmed that he has spoken with them on several occasions and is trying to work something out. Quicken called me again on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, and told me that they would put me on their do not call list. Today, Monday, XX/XX/XXXX, they called me again. I do n't know how to stop them, other than changing my number. Can you stop them? Can I be compensated for harrassment?

Company: Merchants Credit Corporation (WA)

Merchant Credit Association Collection Agency was assigned my charged off debt amount {$36000.00} on XX/XX/2011. Since Merchant Credit did not own the charged off debt amount, they had to work XXXX XXXX XXXX to report false monthly growing debt amounts to the credit bureaus for over 6 years!! I did not find out about their illegal credit reporting until I requested my credit reports from the credit bureaus. Here is what I found & tried to disputed them and have the incorrect debt accounts deleted immediately. 

1 ) I do not have a written contract with Merchant Credit Collection Agency, nor did I promised to pay them and, I never sent them any payments. 

2 ) Merchant Credit Collection never sued me and won a court ordered Judgment against me. 

3 ) Merchant Credit Collection along with XXXX XXXX XXXX secretly and willingly charge my charged off debt account/s 12 % compound annual interest rates for over 6 years even now. When they knew XXXX XXXX XXXX had a written contract with me for 6.49 % annual interest rate. 

4 ) Merchant Credit Collection never bother to send me any monthly billing statements over the years and even now, but they see fit to charge and falsely report monthly growing debt amounts information on me for years and now too. ( Truth In Lending Act ) 5 ) While I started my credit bureaus, creditor and Merchant Credit disputes, my credit scores mysteriously took a sharp dive from XXXX to XXXX. I guess to retaliate against me for requesting written proof of the higher debt amount/s. 

6 ) Merchant Credit Collection was only reported on XXXX credit bureau, and the charged off debt was and still growing every month for years.
