Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

Beginning XX/XX/XXXX, I requested that a number of inquiries be deleted from my credit file by mail, as these inquires were not authorized. Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX   responded that I would need to dispute these inquiries with each individual creditor as they do not dispute inquiries. XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted each individual creditor requesting that they verify they did not have authorization to request my credit and that their individual request be removed from my credit file, till today, I have not received a response. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted each bureau by phone stating that you are reporting inaccurate information and that this is against the FCRA. As a credit reporting agencies you are required by law to investigate and verify that what is being reported by your agencies, is accurate and true and that these inquiries were actually authorized by me, which they have not. Each representative that I have spoken with has pretty much passed the baton stating that I would be required to contact these creditors to prove otherwise, this is NOT correct. I have attached the letters to each bureau, and each individual creditor.

Request : Please delete the 90 day late payment off Credit report with all three credit breaus Account Name : XXXX XXXX Social Security # XXXX Old property address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, LA XXXX Freedom Mortgage Account Number : XXXX ( 90 day late payment ) XX/XX/XXXX To Whom It May Concern : Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, and I hope your day is going well. Im writing because I noticed that my most recent credit report contains a 90 day late payment reported on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX for my Freedom Mortgage Home Loan account. 

I want you to know that I understand my financial obligations, and if it werent for my property taxes increase to make our equity amount increase, which I was not aware of until I received my invoice with a {$400.00} a month increase. Id have an excellent repayment record. I made a mistake in falling behind, but since then I set up a payment arrangement, paid the payment arrangement off in full before the scheduled payment arrangement time, and also paid my mortgage off in full with a {$0.00} balance. Since then, Ive had a spotless record of on-time payments. 

Im planning to apply for a new mortgage loan with Freedom Mortgage, and its come to my attention that the 90 day missed payment on my record is hurting my ability to qualify. I have tried disputing this information directly wit Freedom Mortgage but was informed they denied my request due to the reporting information reporting was accurate. Well I do understand, but I have never been late on my Mortgage with Freedom Mortgage before the Invoice of my {$400.00} monthly increase due to a increase in property taxes that I was never aware of. 

I truly believe that it doesnt reflect my creditworthiness and commitment to repaying my debts. It would help me immensely if you could give me a second chance and make a goodwill adjustment to remove the 90 day late payment on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 
If you could please fix this ASAP, i am trying to re-apply for the new VA loan within the next two weeks, and this is effecting my approval with Freedom Mortgage. I am asking you to please, please help me with this situation. 

Thank you for your consideration, and I hope youll approve my request. I can be reached at XXXX. 

Best, XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MD)

I am writing to file a complaint against the three major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion ) for their failure to provide me with a history of disputes as requested in a letter dated XX/XX/2023. Despite my request for the information, the credit reporting agencies have refused to provide me with a history of disputes, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On XX/XX/2023, I sent a written request to all three major credit bureaus for a history of disputes, including any investigation results, that I have submitted to the credit reporting agencies in the past 36 months. However, instead of providing me with the requested information, the credit bureaus only sent me a copy of my credit report, which does not contain the requested information. I followed up with the credit bureaus to request the history of disputes again, but they have continued to refuse to provide me with the information. As a result, I believe that they are in violation of the FCRA, which requires credit reporting agencies to provide consumers with a free copy of their credit report and a history of disputes upon request. I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate enforcement action against the three major credit bureaus for their failure to comply with the FCRA. I have attached a copy of my original request for a history of disputes, as well as any other relevant documentation that I have regarding this matter. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if you require any additional information or documentation to support this complaint.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (SC)

I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

The company is Ally Financial. I have my loan since XX/XX/XXXX. I made my 1st payment XX/XX/XXXX. I notice today XX/XX/XXXX when going online to make payment they only showing I paid 12 payments. I have made 16 payment. I do agree I had 3 extension and a due date change however my payment count still should reflect 16 payments. I tried to address this with them and they ( Ally Financial ) said if they correct this would mess my payment up like its my fault. That 4 of my payments went towards finance charge instead of finance, principal, interest which would also advance my payment count on my loan.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

Sunday, XX/XX/XXXX I was just looking at my credit report and found some errors relating to my payment history on some accounts. I have outlined the following incorrect late payments. Please fix these errors immediately and remove the late payments. If you are unable to do so, then remove the entire account since it is being reported inaccurately. 

Account Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Reason : Incorrect late payment Instruction : The payment history is incorrect. 

Late payments from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX were all on time. Clearly you have some faulty systems, because there should be NO late payments showing here. As in, ZERO late payments. So why are you reporting it incorrectly? Inaccurate late payments like this are not only embarrassing, but they are preventing me from obtaining credit that I'm trying to apply for. I've already been in talks with some experts who have informed me that there are laws to ensure that credit bureaus only report accurate credit information. 

It is evident that the inclusion of this inaccurate information is a mistake on either your part or the reporting creditor 's part or both. I take this very seriously and I'm not going to stop contacting you until you remove this wrong information. Due to the damaging effects of such negative inaccurate information I must insist that this is done swiftly. If it isn't done fast, I'm going to have to research what legal options are available to me against both you and the creditor.
