Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: Better Mortgage, Inc. (MD)

To Whom It May Concern : I had applied for a refinance through the national Mortgage company named " Better Mortgage '' in XXXX of 2021. 

Everything was moving smoothly and I since my wife and I are self-employed and shelter most of our income we knew we may run into issues down the line with income requirements. I disclosed all this up-front with the understanding that we don't waste time going back and forth if this was already know and they understood and GUARANTEED a refund of the required appraisal in the case the loan did not go through. 

The appraisal was performed despite the loan being denied about a month later. 

I reached out mulitple times to their staff to ask that the refund of the appraisal costs be processed only to be ignored. One representative mentioned he would reach out to the refund department but then went cold since and the email is no longer responsive ( maybe that rep is no longer employed there ).

I am writing to file a formal complaint against the credit reporting agencies XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX for their failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in handling my disputes regarding incorrect and inaccurate information on my credit reports. Despite my diligent efforts to resolve these issues, these agencies have persistently ignored my disputes and failed to remove the erroneous accounts in question. 

The accounts in dispute are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX I have submitted multiple disputes to each of these credit reporting agencies, providing detailed explanations and supporting documentation demonstrating that these accounts are inaccurately reported and should be removed. However, my disputes have been repeatedly ignored, and the erroneous information remains on my credit reports. 

This non-compliance is a clear violation of the FCRA, which mandates that credit reporting agencies must conduct a reasonable investigation into consumer disputes and correct or delete any information found to be inaccurate or unverifiable. The failure of XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX to adhere to these legal obligations has caused significant harm to my credit standing and financial well-being. 

I am requesting the CFPB 's immediate intervention to ensure that the credit reporting agencies comply with their statutory duties under the FCRA. Specifically, I urge the CFPB to : Investigate the handling of my disputes by XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX. 
Ensure the prompt removal of the disputed accounts ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) from my credit reports. 
Impose appropriate sanctions on the credit reporting agencies for their failure to comply with the FCRA. 
Provide a written response outlining the actions taken by the CFPB to address this matter. 
I trust that the CFPB will take this complaint seriously and act swiftly to rectify these violations. I am available to provide any additional information or documentation required to support this complaint.

My account with XXXX XXXX  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 in those account to be removed. 

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. 


XXXX XXXX  Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


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 XXXX and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

I regularly monitor my credit reports due to identity theft that Ive been having is I deal with for several years. I got an alert that there was a collection for a doctor in Florida, but I havent been to any doctors there or even been to that state in many years. 
I contacted the collection agency and sent them copies of my ID theft report and police report. I even sent them proof of where it was at the time the person who was impersonating me was seen at the hospital. They still refused to remove the fraudulent debt from my credit file. 
I then contacted the credit bureaus and sent them the same information. All they did was notate that it met FCRA requirements, but its still showing on my reports.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.
