Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC (OH)

We are currently paying {$280.00} monthly into our escrow. Annually that is a total of {$3300.00}. NewRez pays our County tx biannually in the amount of {$1400.00} which equals a total of {$2900.00} for our taxes. Also our XXXX XXXX Home owners Insurance is also paid in the amount of {$820.00}. Total amount paid out in Ta xes and Home Owners Insurance is {$3700.00}. The Annual Escrow Disclosure statement show a Shortage of  {$290.00} up until XX/XX/2020. However, if our balance for taxes and home Insurance is {$3700.00} - our yearly escrow payment of {$3300.00} our remaining balance owed is {$360.00}. 

Here is the discrepancy : they are showing an Escrow shortage of {$1200.00}. Why???? even if they have a so called Cushion of  {$620.00} as shown on the Escrow Disclosure I can not justify having a Shortage of {$1200.00}. In addition to the fact that in the month of XXXX we paid out {$870.00} Mortgage payment and {$1900.00} which was supposed to be an escrow shortage payment. Now here it is XXXX and once again we are facing another escrow shortage payment. Why??? Also, there is no explanation for the " other fee payment ''. What does this other fee payment mean??? I have tried to resolve this numerous times by calling in but as you know no one in this company is accountable for anything. No one can explain to me what are these other fee payments. 

It is this Mortgage companies bad practice not to make anyone accountable for any information given. I have several emails from NewRez they all come from a General Email box with no contact name. It is so sad that this PATHETIC MORTGAGE THIEVES are allowed to exist. 

I need to know why are we constantly behind in payments with this Mortgage thieves when we are constantly paying out money to them. Notice that you will not find one missed payment but yet we are behind not sure how this happens. We have MASSIVE documentation to show our payments throughout the entire time this mortgage has been transferred. 

This is a recurring issue with NewRez and it really does not help that our Mortgage has been transferred numerous times. Apparently in the process of transferring our Mortgage accurate payment history is NOT transferred.

I want to be absolutely clear : I did not approve these transactions to be in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. So, I formally ask to block and remove them from my record. This isn't a mistake, nor is it based on any misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my clear consent or instruction. I'm stressing this to show how serious my request is. It's based on accurate info, and I'm not trying to deceive or manipulate the situation.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity. 
Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. 
C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards.

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports.

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards.

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB , FTC and my Attorney General.

Transunion is reporting incorrect payment information for my mortgage with XXXX XXXX. They are reporting the entire XXXX as late when my mortgage was in a XXXX forbearance. The months should be reporting as " current '', pursuant to the XXXX XXXX section XXXX ( see policy attached. ) I disputed this error with Transunion through the XXXX XXXX XXXX  on XXXX, XXXX. Transunion responded and conclude that after their investigation, the late payments have been updated to " current '' ( see letter from Transunion attached. ) I was sent an updated credit report reflecting these changes. XXXX months later the incorrect late mortgage payments were reinserted. Not only that, I was not made aware of this reinsertion pursuant to FCRA section XXXX ( see policy attached. ) As a result of not being aware of the reinsertion of the XXXX XXXX XXXX late payments, I gave my employer permission to review my Transunion credit report as part of criteria to be approved for a promotion I was eligible for. Needless to say, I was wrongfully denied my promotion as result of the XXXX XXXX payment errors. This is not only embarrassing but infuriates me! I was also denied an auto loan after my vehicle was totaled recently. 

Additionally, Transunion is reporting " N/A '' for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, XXXX payments when these months should also be reporting as current because they were made on time. 

I have submitted a complaint with the XXXX XXXX Attorney General 's office, CFPB, FTC and the XXXX XXXX XXXX today. If this matter is not resolved promptly my next and final step will be consulting with a consumer rights attorney and filing a a federal civil lawsuit. Transunion has caused me a great deal of undue emotional and financial distress. They have violated my consumer rights to the XXXX with their stall tactics and willful noncompliance to the FCRA and FTC consumer policies.
