Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (SC)

" 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

To ensure that your company is reporting accounts 100 % accurately, I would like to know the procedures used to investigate these inaccurate accounts. Did you even conduct an investigation because it is still not reporting 100 % correctly? 
Its sad that your company would ignore the FTC guidelines in regard to your investigation efforts. I wonder if other consumers are being affected by your lack of investigation. I would like to know to whom you talked with at the collectors office when you started your investigation? Also, please send me their complete address. In addition, please do not send your template letter on how you conduct an investigation. I want details on how you did this.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue related to modification, forbearance, short sale, deed-in-lieu, bankruptcy, or foreclosure
Company: Fay Servicing, LLC (MD)

Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, I was told by the Governor to stay at home. My place of business of 20 years was closed and I has no income coming in. I contacted Fay Servicing and explained that I was affected by the pandemic and that I could not pay my mortgage. Fay Servicing advised me that I had been approved for a forbearance and that my account would not reflect any late payment and of late payments being reported to the credit bureaus. At the end of my forbearance period ( 18 months ), I was told by Fay Servicing that I had to pay the entire amount due or they investors would foreclose on me. I tried to get a modification several times, and Fay Servicing kept delaying the process, loosing my paperwork, conveying false information and not following through with the modification guidelines. I attended medication and Attorney XXXX lied to the Administration Hearing Judge and told him that I only needed one more document, and that my file was prepared to go to underwriting. 
The next week Fay Servicing switched up on me and said that I had to complete a new package and that their client was moving towards foreclosure. I retained an Attorney, and a modification was offered to me but, it was so aweful, I opt to decline. 
My loan interest would go from XXXX to 7 %, I would start over at 40 months, balloon payment {$400000.00} monthly payment would increase by about {$2000.00} and month. I couldn't afford that. Please call me to discuss I'm about to time out

I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

I see some items on my credit report that I dont know. It looks like someone might have stolen my identity because I didnt approve these accounts. Ive talked about this before, and now Im asking for these accounts to be taken off my report quickly. Having these accounts on my report is causing me stress. They dont show my real credit history or how I handle money, and its been hard dealing with this. If we cant fix this, Im ready to go to court to protect my rights and find a solution. These wrong items on my credit report are a big problem for me. Theyre stopping me from reaching important money goals, like buying a house and supporting my family. I hope we can fix this problem soon.
