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

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

XXXX XXXX  and I came to an agreement to settle my credit card account that was charged off on XX/XX/2021 they stated they would report this account as settled for less than the full amount once I made 3 consecutive payments of {$260.00} on XX/XX/2021, XX/XX/2021 and XX/XX/2021 I paid all 3 on time, and the on time payments reflect on my credit report. Yet XXXX continues to report it as a charge off with a balance 3 years later which affects my utilization and efforts to rebuild my credit. I have tried disputing this account numerous times but XXXX continues to state that the balance is correct to the credit bureaus. Additionally XXXX did not send me a 1099 C form so I was unable to file my taxes correctly for that year.

Ive talked to the bank & they've agreed to remove the accounts. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not remove the account because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the dispute letter they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the dispute letter ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy ... as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients.

If the consumer to whom the file relates requests that the first 5 digits of the social security number ( or similar identification number ) of the consumer not be included in the disclosure and the consumer reporting agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the consumer reporting agency shall so truncate such number in such disclosure. & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Financial Business and Consumer Solutions. (MI)

I sent a letter to XXXX in order to request a formal validation of debt. Now I am receiving notices from TWO companies, both FBCS as well as XXXX stating that I owe them {$2900.00}, BOTH asking for payment. I do not know who holds this debt, and I do not know why I am receiving correspondence from TWO different entities regarding the SAME debt. 

Both company 's statements reference {$2900.00} owed from an original creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which is who XXXX goes through. 

ALSO, there is a violation on the actual REPORTING on my credit report. According to the Fair and Accurate Credit reporting, FCRA 15 U.S. Code 1681b, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g, and The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public law 91-506, Title VI, Section 611, Subsection A-D, as well as Section 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) of the FCRA, the information on my credit report must be fair and ACCURATE. I have attached a screen shot of my credit reports. It shows the 'original lender ' as not correlating the same across all 3 bureaus. Also XXXX shows this account as closed, XXXX shows this account as open, and XXXX shows this account as open. So this is also an inaccuracy where the information is not accurate across ALL 3 bureaus. 

ALSO, there is no proof of contract between me and FBCS, who has continued to send me USPS mail correspondence.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — Changes in loan terms during or after closing
Company: OfferMarket (FL)

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Offermarket, its mortgage representatives, and the owner, XXXX, regarding the handling of my loan applications and the unprofessional conduct I experienced. 

On XX/XX/year>, I began speaking with XXXX from Offermarket, who introduced me to their loan programs. Initially, I was informed that I would be able to obtain a DSCR loan for each of my homes. However, due to the appraisal company used by Offermarket, the appraisals for two out of three of my homes came in under {$100000.00}, despite market ARVs indicating higher values. No action was taken to address this discrepancy. 

As time progressed, I was advised to switch to a portfolio loan. I complied but was not made aware of any changes to the terms until I saw the revised term sheet. Additionally, I was given multiple closing dates which were repeatedly postponedfrom the initial date of XX/XX/year>, to XX/XX/year>, then to XX/XX/year>, and now once again changed. 

As these delays continued, I began to run out of time with my current lenders. I informed Offermarket of this urgency and, on XX/XX/year>, left a negative review on XXXX. On the same day at XXXX PM, I received an aggressive and threatening call from XXXX, the owner. He stated that he would close my lending file because of the negative review. He gave excuses about the difficulty of finding lenders in the current market to provide the promised services. XXXX also insisted on speaking to my wife, as it was her loan package, despite having written consent to work with me on this matter. He only calmed down when I agreed to remove the negative review. 

Today, on XX/XX/year>, after receiving an email from Offermarket confirming that we were set to close on Friday, XX/XX/year>, I received a notice from my title company stating that the lender had informed them we were not closing because they were not in communication with the party they were selling the loan to. Shortly after, Offermarket responded to my email by stating that I now needed to fix various items on one of the homes. This is perplexing since the homes were appraised at the values they were lending for. 

Offermarket 's term sheets constantly changed to suit their convenience, and they have deceived my wife and me, wasting our time and causing significant stress. We will be seeking legal representation to cover the costs of the appraisals and any expenses incurred by our lenders due to Offermarket 's lack of experience and unprofessional conduct. 

I urge you to investigate XXXX methods of facilitating loans, the frequent changes to term sheets, and the numerous delays in closing dates. Their practices have caused undue financial strain and emotional distress. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a thorough investigation and resolution. Should you require even more emails as proof I will provide them. Please see attachments. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX

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 Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (WI)

On XXXX XXXX XXXX, I sent a dispute letter to Equifax via mail, requesting an investigation into inaccurate items on my credit report. Additionally, I disputed incorrect personal information listed on my credit report. I took all necessary steps to ensure the accuracy of my dispute by including copies of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bill displaying my current address. Despite sending a dispute letter with all the required documentation, I did not receive any response from Equifax regarding the investigation results. Equifaxs failure to respond with the results of the investigation into the disputed items on my credit report violates their obligation and my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Additionally, Equifaxs lack of response leaves me without information about the status of my dispute and prevents me from taking appropriate action to address inaccuracies on my credit report.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
