Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (TN)

On XX/XX/2024, I set up an extra principal payment on my mortgage, in the amount of {$5000.00}. Instead, Mr. Cooper mortgage company applied {$1500.00} to my regular monthly payment and only {$3400.00} to my extra principal. A week later, they withdrew my pre-scheduled regular monthly payment in the amount of {$1500.00}, + the {$300.00} extra principal that goes with that regular payment. 

I have contacted the company 4-5 times for a resolution, and each time they say it will be fixed, but it never gets credited as the full {$5000.00} for extra principal payment on my mortgage. I feel like I've been forced to pay a double payment.

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

XXXX  XXXX XXXX has been disputed once more to Equifax via XXXX XXXX submitted on XX/XX/year>. I received the last response from Equifax via CFPB portal on XX/XX/year> stating that I disputed XXXX  XXXX before and this time Equifax failed to state what the results were. 
I have sent Equifax a request in accordance with FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) more than once demanding the procedures that were used that led Equifax to verify when they sent results regarding the prior disputes. After receiving results each time in accordance with FCRA 611 ( A ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) I requested ALL the records that would reveal the reason my PRIVACY is being so blatantly VIOLATED but yet my disputes were verified.

Therefore, I also requested the name ( s ) of the person ( s ) that they spoke with along with their Business Name, Address and Telephone Number in accordance with FCRA 611 ( a ) 6 ( ) ( B ) ( iii ) and Equifax has FAILED each time to adhere to the requirements in accord with FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) within the 15 Days required by Federal Law and Equifax sent me NOTHING and has totally IGNORED the requirements in accordance with FCRA 611 ( a ) ( B ) ( 6 ) ( iii ).

Equifax clearly violates Section 1681i.

Their failure each time could lead to my financial compensation in a Court of Law.

Equifax is the entity that is in VIOLATION of FCRA 602 which states I have a right to Privacy and FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) which states that a CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY CAN NOT Furnish an ACCOUNT without my WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS and this is the reason I demand Equifax to remove XXXX  XXXX from my credit report immediately.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AL)

I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option 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.

I regret to inform you that your decision not to address my identity theft issue on the grounds of an alleged error or misrepresentation of material facts is deeply concerning. What authority do you possess to make determinations regarding material facts? You neither hold the role of a judge nor serve on a jury, nor do you possess any such entitlement. According to the guidelines of the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), when presented with an FTC identity theft report filed through a law enforcement agency ( which is, in this case, the FTC itself ), compliance with the law is mandated. 

I am extending XXXX final opportunity for you to process my request concerning the identity theft incident. Failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal recourse in a courtroom setting, wherein you will be held responsible for the damage inflicted upon my reputation, credit, and the emotional turmoil I have endured due to this matter. It is highly likely that the true material facts will become evident, and you will be held accountable for your negligence.

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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with fees charged
Company: Mercedes Benz Financial Services (CA)

I went to the XXXX XXXX dealership on XX/XX/23 to buy out my lease car and the buy out price they told me was different from what I agreed on the day of lease start date, which is XX/XX/23. I have a screenshot of the printout. 

I was told by the sales person that I get a lease credit of {$7500.00} if I lease the car before I buy out instead of buying at front because of the income cap. 

So I did as I was told. Then, I told them I want to buy out next day so that I didn't have to pay the extra rent charge. 

They said that I can't buy for next 2 to 3 weeks. 

After 2 to 3 week, I went to the dealer to pay the buy out amount. Then, they said that I have to pay more now because of the rent charge. It is very fair that they don't let you pay and charge you more. 

The dealer should not advertise lease credit of {$7500.00}, make consumers pay later to charge more rent charges and fees without a notice. It's a fraud and false advertisement. 

I also have screenshots of the texts I sent to the sale people to let them know that I want to buy out ASAP. 

Now, the Mercedes-Benz finacial service is asking me to pay more than what I agreed on the lease start date and billing me the rent charge that I was not told when I signed the lease. The dealer said I have to pay more rent charges even if I tried to pay earlier to prevent this charge. 

I told the dealer and financial service that I would like to start the dispute process for the discrepancy amount and asking them to release the title, but no response from them. I have already paid the amount I agreed on the date of lease, which {$75000.00}. 

I believe that using the tax credits to advertise cheaper car prices, then making more profits by making consumers pay later and charges more rent charges without a notice seem like treating the consumers unfairly. I feel that what they are doing right now is deceiving the consumers and abusing the tax credits and the system to make more profits for themselves. 

I would like to request the Bureau to investigate this issue, initiate an administrative adjudication proceeding by filing a Notice of Charges alleging a violation of a consumer protection statute, or filing an action in federal district court. 

I hope they stop this practice, and other consumers don't get into the same situation like mine. 

I hope to hear from the dealer and the financial service soon to resolve this issue.

This account was open sometime last year ( 2023 ) around XXXX or XXXX using my identity without my authorization. I only found out about it because I received a bill statement in the mail around XXXX or XXXX. I have been disputing this account from day one with the credit card issuer and the company that sells the purchased item ( XXXX ). The credit card company ( XXXX XXXX ) claims that the account is legitimate and I told them that's impossible because I never requested it. They claimed to have a purchase receipt and delivery ticket. Upon requesting those documents, I discovered that the account was opened online and the alleged delivery ticket was by pure coincidence not signed by anyone or at least not me. The unknown subjects purchased some type of gym equipment that supposably was delivered to my old home address and left outside. When or who would deliver something of so much value outside a house without having someone taking possession of it? Everything was impossible because there are always someone at home since I'm a XXXX veteran who's always home with my wife and in laws.
