I was stunned to see inaccurate accounts pop up on my credit report this morning, with no explanation for how they got there. I check my credit report regularly, but today, there were errors that seemed to appear out of thin air. I even refreshed my browser, hoping it was just a technical issue, but the wrong accounts didnt disappear. This situation is deeply troubling, so Im asking for a thorough review of the documents I've sent to ensure this never happens again.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

My accounts 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/updated. 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. 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!

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (MI)

I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX veteran with a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I used my VA benefit to purchase a property at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX  XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. ( 0 % down and no tax liability according to law ). I secured a fixed rate mortgage and my original interest rate was around 3 %. My monthly mortgage payment was roughly {$680.00}. I refinanced my original mortgage with XXXX XXXX  XXXX and my mortgage payment increased to around {$760.00}. My mortgage was subsequently sold to Carrington Mortgage, and twice in three years my mortgage payment has increased over {$200.00}, allegedly due to escrow shortages according to Carrington Mtg. 
For the year prior to XX/XX/XXXX my mortgage was {$760.00} and, once again, allegedly due to escrow shortages my payment has once again increased {$210.00} to {$970.00}. 
Prior to this latest increase, Carrington Mtg. had increased my mortgage payment from around {$760.00} to {$880.00} for 12 months to cover what seems to them to have been an escrow shortage. Finding this out took many phone calls and conversations with several different people before I was able to make some sense of what their ostensible reason was for the increase. 
I do not understand how my fixed mortgage payment could increase in such large amounts over such a short period of time. I have gone from roughly {$680.00} per month to close to {$1000.00} in XXXX years. This baffles me and aggravates my sensibilities. Other homeowners in my location, whom I have talked to, have said they have never heard of mortgage payment increases in such amounts with a fixed rate mortgage. 
I am sending my complaint to CFPB with the understanding that CFPB has been involved with Carrington Mortgage before concerning other unfair practices by this corporation. Are Carrington Mortgages increases justifiable or legitimate?

While checking my most recent credit report, I noticed credit inquiries that I did not authorize. I did not authorize anyone employed by these companies to make any inquiry and view my credit report. This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 1681b ( c ) and a serious breach of my privacy rights. Please validate this information with these companies and provide me with copies of any documentation associated with these accounts bearing my signature, authorizing an inquiry. In the absence of any such documentation bearing my signature, I formally request that these fraudulent inquiries be immediately deleted from the credit file that you maintain under my Social Security number.

" 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 "
