Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (DC)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against multiple creditors for several violations of consumer protection laws as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1692e, 1681b ( 2 ), and 1681s2. The violations pertain to false or misleading representations, inaccurate reporting of debt and payments, and responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. 

The following creditors have engaged in actions that are in direct violation of the aforementioned statutes : 1. XXXX XXXX - Charged off the account and continues to report the debt as the lender. 
2. XXXX XXXX - Charged off the account twice, once in XX/XX/XXXX and again in XX/XX/XXXX, while continuing to report the debt as the lender. 
3. XXXX XXXX - XXXX reported premium payments as a collection on my credit file, with an inaccurate amount. 
4. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. -Account are closed but not reported Paid as agreed which still inaccurately reported by XXXX XXXX Equifax XXXX and XXXX XXXX. There are accounts are past the 7 years outdated and still being reported. 
5. XXXX XXXX  - Failure to update the status of a student loan that has been forgiven, reporting the loan amount but not reflecting the XXXX balance. 

These actions are not only misleading but also detrimental to my credit report and financial standing. Despite providing written instructions and resolving certain accounts, these creditors persist in reporting inaccurate and misleading information. 

I request a thorough investigation into the conduct of these creditors and urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to take appropriate action to rectify these violations. Additionally, I request the correction of my credit reports to accurately reflect the resolved accounts, the forgiven student loan, and the accurate status of each account. 

Enclosed with this letter are relevant documents, including account statements, payment confirmations, and any correspondence exchanged with the aforementioned creditors. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take necessary actions to ensure compliance with consumer protection laws. 

Thank you for this matter.

I have an account with XXXX Bank / Care Credit. It's a credit card used solely for medical and dental finance. I've had my account since XX/XX/XXXX. I make payments of {$45.00} each month. All payments have been made on time as of XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX I made payment of {$45.00} by phone using their automated payment system. Payment due date is XXXX of the month. The week of XX/XX/XXXX XXXX I started receiving collection calls. The bank claims I was late and would be charged a {$40.00} late fee. I spoke with an offshore customer service person who gave me the reason for the collection calls. I told her how can you assess a late fee when I paid well before the due date. She said it's their policy. This has to be bank fraud as I was not late. I will include a screen shot of my bank record. The bank has increased my balance which should not be allowed. I did research on XXXX. This company also know as GE Capital has a history of abuse to its account holders. They should be censured by the federal government.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AL)

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 XXXX 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 XXXX days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over XXXX 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 XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NV)

Fifth Third Bank ( " 53 '' ) purchased my refinanced mortgage in XXXX. As part of my refinance, I agreed to a mortgage payment of {$2300.00}, which was to include my mortgage payment, taxes and homeowner 's insurance. 53 negligently failed to pay my homeowners premiums and my policy was canceled. Despite having been a customer for over 30 years, XXXX XXXX XXXX declined to renew my policy based on a " non-payment '' history. After negotiations, 53 retroactively paid the homeowner 's insurance premiums from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. Despite its negligence, 53 asked me to obtain another homeowner 's insurance policy, which I was able to obtain from XXXX XXXX, although the premiums were higher than I was paying through my escrow account. XXXX then contacted me and I was told that 53 had, yet again, failed to pay the homeowner 's insurance premiums, even though XXXX had contacted them multiple time and requested payment through my escrow account. Now, 53 has told me that my house payment will increase over {$300.00} per month to cover the cost of the insurance they purchased at almost double what I was paying previously through my escrow account. 53 also informed me that " that coverage we purchased is limited and may not adequately protect your interest. '' During this over two-year period, I have made numerous phone calls to 53 and written them numerous letters. When I refinanced my home, I agreed to the payment amount, to include taxes and insurance, because that is what I could afford. As a result of 53 's negligence and fraud, I informed 53 that I was going to continue to pay my mortgage payment of {$2300.00}, which is what I agreed to and contracted for, and requested that no late charges or other fees be applied to my account. Now, 53 is sending me threatening letters suggesting that I may be in jeopardy of losing my home if I do not pay the late fees and significantly increased house payment due to the outrageously expensive insurance it purchased.

By paying a years ' homeowner 's premiums retroactively, 53 admitted to its negligence of not having paid those premiums during that prior year through my escrow account. Although 53 destroyed my relationship with my long-standing insurance company and through no fault of my own that the policy was cancelled, I obtained another policy in its place. AGAIN, 53 ignored XXXX ' requests for payment of the premiums and that policy too was cancelled. All this occurred when I had homeowner 's insurance at a price I could afford and with adequate coverage.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX froze money in my checking account, I was NOT informed that they were going to take the money out of my account, and no one will help me. this is a credit card debt that is well over 7 years old, and they claim that they took over the account in 2018. 

No one will help me and all they say is that at this point I MUST pay the money. The only option I was given was to give them a different checking account. 

The money that they are taking was deposited into my checking account through a claim we have when our house burned this year and was a total loss. Including personal property. 

The credit union will not help nor, will anyone at the number I was given to call.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

Mailed letters on XX/XX/2023 to dispute inaccuracies on my account and each time I was mailed a stall letter saying they fell someone else as sent my information. This is a direct violation of the FCRA. Additionally there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this complaint is a formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days not 30 more. I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding the persistent challenges I am facing in removing fraudulent items from my credit file. Despite multiple attempts to rectify this issue, the fraudulent entries remain, adversely impacting my creditworthiness. 

As outlined in my initial complaint, I reported unauthorized and fraudulent items on my credit file to 3 Credit BureauS. Subsequent to that, I have made additional attempts to dispute and rectify these inaccuracies. However, to my dismay, the fraudulent items persist on my credit file, causing ongoing distress and financial implications. 

I understand the importance of a thorough investigation in cases of fraud, and I appreciate the efforts taken to maintain the integrity of credit reporting. However, the prolonged presence of these fraudulent entries is not only detrimental to my financial standing but also a source of great frustration. 

I kindly request that you escalate this matter and conduct a comprehensive investigation into the fraudulent items on my credit file. I have consistently provided all necessary documentation and information to support my claim, and I believe that the resolution of this matter is long overdue. 

It is my expectation that 3 Credit Bureaus takes immediate and effective action to rectify this situation. I request clear communication regarding the steps being taken to address this issue, and I insist on receiving a specific timeline for the removal of the fraudulent items from my credit file. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$540.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$140.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$540.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$140.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX AR XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX AR XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$540.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$140.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX
