Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (FL)

I purchased a home XX/XX/2023. My morgage lender was Fifth Third. My broker told me I could get approved for 3 % down and we proceeded. While at the 30 day mark for approval he says I must come up with an additional XXXX plus pay off XXXX credit cards. Again on last day. Then I did not receive 3 day disclosure and had to ask for closing amount the morning of closing to my shock that I now must pay another XXXX for car payoff. I was misled and had to drain all accounts. I'm a single mom and find this very unprofessional. And my broker who said he would be at closing never showed up but has text me asking for help 3 months later. There are many other details, texts, emails etc that were beyond unethical

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (AR)

I have filed two bankruptcy cases in the last 7 years. In the first one, my Wells Fargo mortgage was included. That one was dismissed. In the second one, my Wells Fargo mortgage was NOT included and the court has allowed me to pay the mortgage OUTSIDE of the bankruptcy. 

I have made MULTIPLE requests for Wells Fargo to continue CORRECTLY reporting my monthly payments. For THREE YEARS, they kept reporting inaccurate information and had made credit report look like I was up to three years behind on payment. THIS TANKED MY CREDIT SCORE!!! 

I have made several complaints to the CRAs and they have had me to send in my current bills to show that I was indeed current. So, the CRAs removed the inaccurate reporting. But, Wells Fargo is REFUSING to correctly report my current mortgage payments. 

Right now, they are the ONLY company that is NOT reporting accurately, and they are not even part of the bankruptcy!!!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
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. ''
