To whom it may concern, My consumer rights are being violated with this inaccurate information! I have a right to be treated fairly by those who control it, so please provide me all available details on how they came up short in their responsibilities towards accuracy and compliance. I am officially challenging you to review your data on file for me! With the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) section 611 ( 15 U S C 1681I ) and Metro 2 compliance standards, I challenge all inaccuracies or deficiencies in reporting. The credit report I received was inaccurate, which surprises me because you should adhere to the FCRA and applicable Metro 2 data field formatting standards. As a consumer, I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It is not complete and does not meet applicable standards because according to law you are required for both FCRAs as well as Metro 2 compliance which must be done truthfully with correct information being provided timely so that none of my rights are violated I am aware that you have been sending out form letters in response to many of the disputes and challenges that consumers have submitted, regardless of the specific information that they have provided. This is illegal, as each dispute and challenge must be addressed individually and on its own merits. My letters were created using software that is available to everyone. If you don't process my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i. Keep in mind, that you are not allowed to delay processing letters from consumers based on the assumption that help from a third party may be available. This is not a legal exception. I am the author of any letters you receive with my name on them. Either I or my advisors wrote them with my full knowledge and consent. I am aware that no law says you need to provide a Power of Attorney to delay processing letters from a consumer. If you do not process my letters promptly, I will consider it to be an intentional disregard of my rights as a consumer. I will then contact my lawyer to take legal action. 

Please send the following information used to validate the validity of the invalidated items below : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Account NumberXXXX My data was affected by the XXXX XXXX XXXX, resulting in numerous fraudulent items appearing on my credit report that I do not recognize.

This matter is currently under investigation by the FTC.

I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: United Shore Financial Services, LLC (NY)

Hello loan number XXXX I made my XXXX mortgage payment of {$2000.00} as United Wholesale mortgage portal stated in the amount of {$2000.00}. on XX/XX/2023. 

I received a letter on XX/XX/2023 stating my XXXX payment is being held in suspense due to and amount due of {$770.00}. I was not made aware of this {$770.00} until I called and spoke to Customer service on XX/XX/2023. This is a problem for me because it looks like i have not paid my mortgage ON TIME!. 

The reason my Mortgage statement balance was only showing XXXX for the month of XXXX XXXX was due to a NYHAF remaining credit from XX/XX/2023. 

If not for the credit from NYHAF for {$860.00} The original XXXX payment would have been {$2900.00}, but with the credit of {$860.00} from NYHAF brought the payment to {$2000.00}. 

I am also due a credit of {$1300.00} from NYHAF this wire was sent to UWM on XX/XX/2023. UWM is aware of this and will post once they locate the payment I am told. 

All I want at this time is not have to pay an additional {$770.00} to UWM- when I was NOT told about making this payment until XX/XX/2023. 

Why should I have to make an additional payment of {$770.00} as I was just told about adding this to my XXXX payment - and I have a credit of {$860.00} and {$1300.00}. 

If all I saw in the UWM portal on the day of my XXXX payment was to pay {$2000.00} which I paid. 
The account then said XXXX balance in the UWM portal. for my XXXX XXXX payment. 

I do not want my credit to show any late payments because of this. 

Thank you XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (KY)

I called USAA American Express Credit Card Customer Service number at XXXX which was provided on the statement. 

Issue # 1 - they asked for my whole credit card number or my social security number to be provided to triage who i am before connecting me to a service representative.

Issue # 2 - when connected with a service representative, I was told I had to provide my account password as one of the personal varication steps.

Issue # 3 - i called for two reasons, but my complaint is on the second one. My credit card statement is showing charges from XX/XX/2023 through XX/XX/2023. And is showing Interest charge information tallied on XX/XX/2023. There is nothing on the statement that specifically states what date ranges the statement is covering so I must presume, based on the charge information, the statement is covering the period from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. My credit card limit is {$5000.00}. I had no previous balance. Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I had {$1000.00} in charges and no accrued interest. Yet, the statement is showing available credit is {$1500.00}. I was calling to get an explanation as to why the statement was not showing {$3900.00}. The service rep kept trying to say that it was because of charges accrued after the XXXX of XXXX- even though they are not reflected on the statement. This does not make sense as a statement is to reflect a point in time and should only consider that which is encompassed within the printed statement for the time frame that statement is covering. She was unable to provide an explanation as to why charges not represented on the statement were impacting my printed available balance.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (GA)

Due to a recent escrow change in XX/XX/2023, my usual automatic monthly online payment was made in the amount of {$690.00} versus the new increased amount of {$790.00}. As a result, Freedom Mortgage placed my on-time {$690.00} payment in a suspense account and the payment was not applied to my balance. This created a 'late ' payment status that was reported to the credit agencies, causing a significant impact to my credit score.

When I reached out to their customer care team, my request to update ( remove ) this late payment status to all credit agencies was declined. I was informed a letter was mailed to me to notify me that my payments were increasing in XXXX. Unfortunately, I did not receive this letter. Had the letter been sent as certified or trackable- or even a different color paper or envelope to differentiate it from the barrage of marketing collateral from Freedom Mortgage - I would have received it and would have adjusted my online banking payments accordingly. 

I've reached out to the following people, and none have provided the courtesy of an acknowledgement of my request. None of the executives have responded to me.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (WA)

I have been a GM cardholder since early XXXX. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, after attempting to replaced an expired card, my card never arrived in the mail, and approximately {$5000.00} in charges were fraudulently attempted with my card. GM resolved all but XXXX of them, XXXX for SQ WRECKER for XXXX and another for XXXX for XXXX. I first opened the dispute in XX/XX/XXXX, as evidenced by their first provisional credit. 

GM has rebilled me for a XXXX time as of XX/XX/XXXX. When I contacted customer service, I was told the evidence they have from these two merchants included my home address and a tracking number. As the cards were clearly lost or stolen in the mail, this is not a surprising find in my opinion.

In addition, the dispute was more than 90 days old and should have been fully resolved.

I have attached a recent discussion with one of the customer service representatives.
