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

I have read my credit report and I see an inaccurate and unlawful account. It has several late payments which are erroneous. The information listed is not aligned whit the other bureaus.

SEND ME documents such as contracts, billing statements, signed agreements and the representatives you spoke whit who verified it WITH AN affidavit. If the requested documents are not met. Please remove these erroneous and unlawful late payments on my payment history like XXXX and XXXX did. 
I DID MY RESEARCH AND HERE ARE THE LAWS YOU ARE VIOLATING : 15 U.S. Code ss 1681e ( b ), it's crucial that consumer reporting agencies take reasonable steps to ensure the highest possible accuracy of the information concerning an individual in their reports.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

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.

I am currently in the process of paying my debt in order to fix my credit to purchase a new home and start a business. I applied to get a personal loan to clear the debt and in the process, I was a victim of theft. I was applying with different creditors and wasn't sure which one had access to my banking information and withdrew {$880000.00} from my bank account on XX/XX/2021. My bank is XXXX XXXX  XXXX and contacted them right away about the issue and they were able to help me open a new Checking and Savings account but haven't closed out the account with the fraudulent charges. I also contacted Experian to put a security freeze on my social to avoid more identity theft. 

I was also having issues with my credit report that has been affecting my approval for loan options to clear my debt. I am currently unemployed and was looking for a loan company that can help me in this situation but was denied funding. I have contacted the creditors and they were not able to help me. I currently have 7 accounts that show delinquent or past due. There are 4 accounts from XXXX XXXX with the charges of {$390.00} and ( 4 ) {$450.00} which we made the agreement of settling the accounts into one for the total of {$1200.00}. I have an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for the amount of {$8300.00} and have a written agreement where I would need to pay {$2500.00}.

The balance on that account is for the amount of {$2900.00}. The other account from XXXX XXXX is to collect a debt from XXXX XXXX for the amount of {$280.00} and made a payment arrangement to pay off the balance.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (MI)

I have been making payments to Freedom Mortgage Company for about 2 and half years now and the majority of them have been paid online. I paid my XX/XX/XXXX mortgage payment on XX/XX/19 which was a Sunday  at XXXX. Freedom Mortgage changed the way they process payments on the weekend, did not notify me of the change, and applied my payment as of XX/XX/19 and put a 30 day late on my credit report. I paid on XXXX  XXXX  not XXXX  XXXX. I was not 30 days late. I provided proof showing the screen print of my payment along with their email confirmation of receipt of payment dated Sunday, XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX. Freedom Mortgage refuses to take the 30 day late off my credit report. I've called them numerous times speaking to various people. More than one of their reps agreed that they recently changed the way they process payments. They now apply weekend payments the following business day and will put a 30 day late on your credit report even though you were not 30 days late. Again, they failed to notify me of this change in apply weekend payments the following business day and the fact still remains that I paid on XXXX  XXXX  not XXXX  XXXX. My last call to Freedom Mortgage Co was with their Customer Liaison on XX/XX/19 at XXXX. He stated they've done this to thousands of people and put the 30 days late on their credit reports too. I first notified Freedom Mortgage of their error on XX/XX/19 via email to XXXX. I received no response. I sent a second request for them to correct their error on XX/XX/19. No response to my either email. I was verbally told they would have a decision by XX/XX/19. It seriously does not take two weeks to look at this information. I called XX/XX/19and was told they declined to remove the 30 day late and was advised to file a dispute with the 3 credit bureaus so that department can review the complaint and decide what to do. They are clearly violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act when I paid them on XX/XX/19not XX/XX/19. Here are the dates & times of my calls to Freedom Mortgage Co trying to get them to review the proof of payment emailed to them and to remove the 30 day late from my credit report : XX/XX/2019 XXXX XX/XX/2019 XXXX XX/XX/2019XXXX XX/XX/2019 XXXX XX/XX/2019 XXXX  XX/XX/2019 XXXX XX/XX/2019XXXX XX/XX/2019 XXXX XX/XX/2019 XXXX

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.
