According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (VA)

ISSUE : FAILER TO ASSIST WITH THE ASSUMPTION PROCESS OF A LEGALLY ASSIGNABLE MORTGAGE We have a current VA mortgage with Freedom Mortgage, all payments are current, with XXXX late payments. We contacted Freedom Mortgage in XXXX of XXXX to inquire if our loan was assumable. They confirmed it was and mailed us a form to start the assumption process and give third-party authorization to our buyers. We completed the form in full, and both faxed and mailed a hard copy on XX/XX/XXXX. We and our buyers have both tried repeatedly to contact their assumptions team to get the assumption process started all to no avail. Every time we've called, they've stated the assumptions team is backlogged and we are in queue to receive a call back within 3 days. I've not received a callback, ever. They communicated to our buyers that they would call them to process their application on XX/XX/XXXX, however, the buyers never received the scheduled call. They indicated there is no process to do this over the phone, it all had to be done over the phone. If we do not close this deal on time, it will cause significant financial harm to our family and we feel strongly that Freedom Mortgage has failed to uphold its legal responsibility to service our loan in a prompt and reasonable manner, per 1024.38 General servicing policies, procedures, and requirements.

Company: Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FNIS) (VA)

On XX/XX/2018 I tried to pay for goods and services from XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX. I bought 2 suits, tried to pay with a check and it refused the check. I had more than sufficient funds in it. Then I tried to pay with a second checking account ( that also had plenty of money in it ) and that was also refused by : CERTEGY... 

I was totally embarrassed and humiliated. Everyone at the counter was looking at me like I was a thief. I was a cop for over 20 yrs...

Their call back number did nothing, and the computer generated voice activation system, kept messing up my account # when I called. 

This company has 590 complaints on the Consumer Affairs website, and is rated at one star out of 5. Totally incompetent.. Please fine them and yank their permits to operate as a legitimate business. 

Where do I go to get my reputation back at the store??? 

cont.. 

I would like an apology from the CEO - XXXX XXXX XXXX in writing to myself and the employees at XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX mens suit dept. who worked on XX/XX/2018. The check was for {$530.00}. They had to run two checks, and one CC ( finally accepted ) and take the time to re-check out the items I purchased and caused a back up in the line, and people giving me dirty looks like I did something wrong. 

I would like the same from Certegy 's CC VP - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, because it is his division. And no one answers the phones to correct this at XXXXXXXX XXXX  on a Sat. afternoon. If credit is granted XXXX ; the company ought to have people available to correct their mistakes. 

Certegy should probably pick up half the tab that day. I mean really. You see it all the time in stores where people just stick in a CC and the store accepts it. Sign names like XXXX XXXX and post it to the internet. Even when people hand over a drivers lic. clerks rarely look at the picture. In the old days people were questioned about their documents, but not anymore. Big business and banks are always right, and to speak up about anything they hide behind rules, and automated systems that are not human to correct. 

Maybe Certegy should be promoted and put in charge of the USA 's nuclear missiles. I'm sure they'd do a great job.
