I have made multiple attempts to begin the process to remove PMI but Home Financing Center refuses to start the process. Some representatives have asked me to email them documentation to begin the removal of PMI process and after i have done so, I have been totally ignored. Other representatives have blatantly informed me when i have called that they will not honor my request to remove PMI.

This is my last and final letter to your non compliant company before I file suit against all parties involved. FYI, it is a crime to threaten suit with no intention of actually filing suit, so be advised ... have every intention of following through with this to protect my rights as a consumer. 
I have sent your company many letters requesting that you investigate a list of inquiries that I believe are reporting incorrectly. Not responding to my requests is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and will not be tolerated. In case you would like to settle this matter between you and I, rather than me filing suit against your company, I will once again list the inquiries in question so that you may do as you are governed by the FCRA. 

Please investigate the following : INQUIRY - XX/XX/XXXX - Remove immediately!

I have tried to contact these companies on my own, but I have not been able to get very far. I tried to contact them using the phone numbers that are provided on my credit report. Half of the numbers are not even correct. The companies that I was able to get in touch with do not even have any record of me. How can they have a permissible business purpose to pull my credit, if they have N0 record of me?

As I stated, I have already given your company quite enough time to investigate the items in question, but I am willing to give you one more chance. If I do not receive results of your investigation within 15 days of receipt of this letter, I will be forced to file suit against your company. I will also be contacting the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: Upgrade, Inc. (FL)

I first called Upgrade on XX/XX/year> and asked customer service if my credit cards were still eligible to be reinstated and used. They said " yes, as long as you bring your accounts current. '' That day over the phone, I made two payments to bring them current, only expecting to pay what was past due so that they would become current. The first was for {$370.00} and the second was for {$230.00}. They told me it would take 4-8 business days to clear and my credit card available balance should be updated. On XX/XX/year>, I noted two transactions on my bank account. One for {$370.00} and the other for {$720.00}. This was the first problem ; the customer service agent incorrectly billed me in the amount of {$720.00}, which was {$490.00} over what I agreed to. I said " at least I will be able to use that amount when my credit cards clear and the available balance updates. '' Days passed, and the credit cards were still not able to be used. I called them again on XX/XX/year>. I spoke with a customer service rep who said " Upgrade is one of those companies where if one account is past due, you can not use both accounts. '' The due date of one of the two accounts passed while I was waiting for the payments to clear. So I said " okay, here 's another {$120.00} to bring the account current AGAIN, so I can use the credit cards. '' Almost a week passes by and I called in to check on the status. I spoke with another customer service rep who put me on hold for several minutes while reviewing the account and told me, " as of XX/XX/year>, your account has permanently been suspended. '' I contacted my bank, but they were unable to dispute two out of three transactions because they were made with my routing number and checking account number. I called Upgrade back and a customer service rep said they wouldn't be able to refund my money because it would put my account in the negative. If the account was not able to be reinstated, I wanted to pursue a settlement or include it in bankruptcy.

XXXX XXXX  I was in the process of searching for a vehicle and came across XXXX in XXXX, NC ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). During the process I emailed their team specifically requesting to ONLY have the pre-qualification and loan process be pulled for XXXX financing prior to applying for a loan. Their representatives responded confirming that this was possible and that my loan would ONLY be pulled for XXXX financing. I look at my report and they alternatively submitted my information to multiple companies resulting in multiple inquires on my report and negatively impacting my credit score. They proceeded to be extremely unprofessional and unapologetic about their unethical practices and I received several junk letters from various institutions that I never applied to. They also consistently gave me incorrect pricing information from their advertisements, tried to hide and manipulate the sales and incentives and would refuse to apply certain incentives that I qualified for. Their team was psychologically and emotionally abusive. See attached screenshots. 

I demand that they remove all XXXX and XXXX partner inquires from all 3 credit reports and any subsidiaries and that they delete my name and contact information from their systems immediately.

I am writing to formally dispute the recent update of the " last activity '' date on my credit report. It has come to my attention that the last activity date for a specific account has been inaccurately updated, which I believe constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
The FCRA mandates that information on credit reports must be accurate, complete, and up-to-date. Updating the last activity date on an account without valid cause or activity may misrepresent the true status of the account and unfairly impact my credit standing. 
I request that you thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the update of the last activity date on the mentioned account. If this update was made without legitimate activity occurring on the account, it may be considered a violation of the FCRA.There is a file attached to verify the fraudulent reporting. 
Account Name : XXXX ( ACCOUNT HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR TWO YEARS ) ) Account Number : XXXX Date of Last Report : XX/XX/21 Date of Last Activity : XX/XX/21
