Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (UT)

In XX/XX/XXXX I was injured on the job. It took about three months for workers compensation to okay the claim, which gave us little income for that three months. We contacted our creditors to let them know our situation including our Freedom Mortgage company. They worked with us with a forbearance program of which we made out payments on time. I was out of work for one year and by that time it showed us way behind on our payments with Freedom.

The Freedom 's loss mitigation had us fill out a packet again to see what they could do to help, but we were also trying to catch up with all of the other creditors. We put the packet together and sent it off for the underwriters and we went on another forbearance. In XXXX of XXXX my XXXX was so damaged I needed it to be XXXX so I was out of work again for another five months before returning to work ; forbearance for that period. Freedom Mortgage seemed to understand and help as much as possible and we were very grateful for it. 
In XXXX or XXXX of XXXX we received a letter from Freedom saying they were putting us on another forbearance for three months of which we were suppose to make the payments each month on time. This payment was of the amount of our normal monthly payment. We complied with their request making the payments and filling out another loss mitigation packet hoping to get what was owed put at the end of the loan so we would be back on track with the loan. The packet was filled out and sent the last part of XXXX and verified they received it by phone. They called back after the underwriters had looked at it saying there were parts missing or not filled out correctly. They were rectified and returned just to get the same message that it wasn't complete. We made the XXXX house payment, but on XX/XX/XXXX we received a letter from Freedom saying " Please be advised that a foreclosure sale of the above-referenced subject property is scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX ''. They also stated that according to their agreement that our loss mitigation application was received less than 37 days before the scheduled foreclosure sale that they don't have sufficient time to review and stop said foreclosure. Also, we came home one day and found a note on our door stating that we had 45 days to vacate the premises. 
The problem I see with this line of thinking is they keep finding little things that stops the process and we need to do it all over again or complete a form correctly. This ate up so much time that it appeared to us that Freedom was just delaying that process so they could foreclose and end the contract : they just want our home it appears and they did whatever needed to be done to accomplish just that. One of the statements made by their representative was " The IRS requires it to be exact '' when in fact I did what was asked on the form. Back and forth for weeks until now we are in this situation and see no way out of it.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

In XX/XX/year>, I provided Transunion with a significant volume of evidence exposing the fraudulent and unauthorized nature of the accounts tarnishing my credit file. This comprehensive submission, including a legitimate report from the Federal Trade Commission with a NOTARIZED ( FTC ), and indisputable proof of identification, should have merited the immediate removal of the nefarious account. Despite my ongoing submission of extensive documentation outlining the inaccuracies of these accounts and the impropriety of its reinstatement, the lack of reinvestigation is deeply troubling because all items are supposed to be investigated before they are added to credit report. In adherence to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the failure to verify the debt within 30 days mandates its immediate removal. Your correspondence asserting debt " verification '' is blatantly false under the law. It is obvious that unauthorized individuals have exploited my information, and merely confirming matching data does not constitute a valid verification process. ACCOUNTS IN QUESTION : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX. Provide evidence they are mine, or delete them. These Accounts are Not Identifiable, and unlawfully reporting on my credit report. Transunion is unable to verify the accuracy and proof of ownership for these accounts, which constitutes a direct violation of the FCRA. Transunion 's conduct constitutes violations of 15 USC 1611 criminal liability, 15 USC 1681n civil liability for willful noncompliance, punitive damages, deceptive practices, negligence, and defamation of character under permissible purpose 15 USC 1681. I demand that Transunion take immediate corrective action to rectify the inaccuracies in my credit report or I will pursue legal actions to recoup compensation for the damages I have suffered as a result of their actions. Attached is a certified UCC 11 information request form showing no liens or debt obligations in my name.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, New York XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NM XXXX XX/XX/year> Re : Account number : XXXX I was advised to write to you by your customer service department concerning my credit rating with your company. I have enjoyed a credit account with your company for many years. During the course of our business association, I have honored and respected my account agreement to the fullest. I appreciate how wonderful your service has always been. 
Unfortunately, 2 years ago, I was in a financial dilemma due to job loss and multiple health issues. As a result some of my payments to you were delayed. Because your account with me is extremely important I managed to borrow the money to cover the late payments. I paid those payments 30 days late on three occasions over a nine-month period but I made sure to fulfill my obligation to ensure that your company suffered no loss.

I am thankful and appreciative for the years of positive credit history that I have obtained through your company but now those 3 late marks on my credit reports are causing me tremendous stress. I am trying to move up to a better paid position at my work, but the negative remarks are hurting my efforts. 
This is where my " Goodwill Request '' comes in. I desperately need this promotion and I would be extremely appreciative if you would please complete a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and fax it to the credit bureaus to remove those entries. 
The credit bureaus have advised me that they will report anything as instructed to by you, but they need to have that instruction in writing. I beg that you XXXX help me and take into consideration how good of a customer I have been and how long I have had an account with you. 
Thank you for your consideration, and I hope youll approve my request.

I've noticed unfamiliar items on my credit report, suggesting potential identity theft as I did not authorize these accounts. This issue has been previously addressed, and I urgently request the removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence is causing significant stress, misrepresenting my true credit history and financial management. If not rectified promptly, I am prepared to seek legal recourse to safeguard my rights and seek resolution. These inaccuracies are hindering my ability to achieve crucial financial milestones such as homeownership and supporting my family. I trust this matter will be resolved expeditiously.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (WA)

My mortgage payments were current with XXXX when XXXX sold it to Nation Star Mortgage on XXXX, 2014. Nation Star claimed I did not make the payment for the month of XXXX previous to their taking over the loan, so to protect my credit, and in good faith we made an extra payment. I then provided them documentation proving the XXXX, 2014 payment was indeed made to XXXX XXXX. We have repeatedly sent in documentation to different entities within their company they told us to send it to, and made repeated phone calls to resolve the dispute. All the contacts they provided us ( XXXX. " single point of contact '' & XXXX my " dedicated loan specialist '' ) were repeatedly unreachable by phone and unresponsive, would not return phone calls after we left messages on their voicemail. As of today, 8 months later, they have not properly credited the account, which *should* show as paid XXXX month in advance. The only responses we get are from their " research department '' who we are able to communicate with in writing but still assert the position that the loan was due for the previous month 's payment at the time they took over the loan. This is still wrong and irresponsible for the company to improperly credit my payments. The issue is simple, I made an extra payment in good faith until such time that the company can find their error, provided them with documentation to help them find their error, and have submitted numerous requests for my extra month 's payment to be properly credited to a future month. It appears they are so far incapable of simple accounting or providing a valid contact person to discuss and resolve this over a 6 month period.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (PR)

Since 2016 I've been trying to validate with Transunion the Public record XXXX XXXX that posted in my credit report. Ive made several calls to Transunion, filled complaints through this portal, also sent several certificate letters but as of today they havent sent me the evidence that accounts belong to me. Transunion obtained that information from ( Third party vendor ) XXXX. I have contacted XXXX. They sent my consumer disclosure report which shows clearly that I dont have any bankruptcy in my records. Also, I contact U.S Court XXXX XXXX and sent me a letter expressing that any local or federal court does not report or give any kind of information to the Credit Bureau or anyone else. However, theyre still reporting it. The law says that if the validity can not be verified, then, Transunion is obligated by law to remove the item. I have repeatedly asked for evidence to support their report, any documentation, name of the person ( s ) that they contacted, address method of verification and still have failed to me. Fair Credit Reporting act provides concurrent jurisdiction in Federal and states courts to use the courts as needed to enforce my rights under the FCRA. I also understand that Transunion is acting discriminatory against me, although Im an American citizen that lives in XXXX XXXX instead of living in the states. Because of that Im planning to fill a lawsuit against Transunion for violating the FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) .To avoid extreme cost in lawyers and payments and violation damages by {$2000.00}. I am making a final goodwill attempt to have you clear up this matter. Otherwise, I will use this complaint for evidence in court showing that I've tried several times to clear up this matter before going to court and sue for my rights as a consumer.
