I appreciate you making the effort to update and repair some of the data on my credit report, but there are still accounts that need to be fixed. The 3 Credit Bureaus must verify these accounts in accordance with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). I'm hoping that these disputed accounts will be fixed as soon as possible.

Company: Dyck-O'Neal, Inc. (NH)

In XX/XX/XXXX, my ex-husband, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and I signed a 10 year promissory note which was due to be paid in full in XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX due to the short-sale of the marital home. We had been legally divorced for 6 months, living in separate homes/addresses, and separate bank accounts. For the first 3 years of this repayment period, Dyck O'Neal only sent bills to XXXX. Repeated calls to Dyck O'Neal were unsuccessful. I was always told that it is there policy to only send the bill to the first person on the account. For three years I wrote, " Please send me a copy of this bill so I can pay on time. '' Once they began doing that, I received monthly bills and payments were sent consistently. XXXX consistently paid $ XXXX/month over almost 8 years. My amounts were varialbe over the years, sometimes minimal, sometimes extra. In XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX has a small XXXX as the result of XXXX XXXX   XXXX for 2 1/2 years and was at the VA Hospital in XXXX XXXX XXXX, VT. I was not notified of this by my former step-children until my repeated phone calls to him to check on his well-being. I spoke to XXXX, via phone, and told him that I would send the entire monthly amount and he said that he would pay the balance of the loan. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX passed away due to his XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I never received another bill from Dyck O'Neal and assumed that XXXX had followed through and paid of the loan. I was notified by XXXX XXXX that my score had gone down and a past 30 day payment was reported. 

I have filed a complaint with the credit bureaus on three separate occassions and won each time. Dyck O'Neal negative reporting was removed, but they keep putting it back on my account. If I'm late 30-60 days, please explain to me how we've paid this debt off 2 YEARS early. I've called Dyck O'Neal customer service again and warned the rep that if they reported the account as late again that I would be filing a formal complaint. Please help fix this for good. They still have not fixed their policy of only notifying the first person on the account despite knowing that we were divorced and living separately before even signing this promissory note. At this point, my credit has been repeatedly and negatively impacted over the years. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX ( formerly XXXX )

Regardless of the multiple written requests, the ITEMS listed below are still reporting on my credit report which is a violation of FCRA. The Bureaus failed to comply with Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time declared by law, they failed to properly investigate the matter by using a third party as their verification provider and have continued reporting the unconfirmed & unverified information. Given all my attempts to address it directly with 3 CREDIT BUREAUS, they are willfully negligent and non-complying with federal statutes & I need this matter handled immediately.

They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION, THE (CO)

I applied to get a Checking account with Charles Schwab and to do that I had to open a brokerage account too, which I funded with {$50.00}. What they did n't tell me is that they were gon na do a hard inquiry on my credit and then they declined my account because I 'm young and do n't have much credit history. I could get over that, but they sent me a letter saying that my investment account had been closed as well, and I had already put {$50.00} into that account. Now when I try to transfer my money out it says that account is restricted. I thought it might be a certain waiting period but it 's been more than a few weeks now and I still ca n't get my money. {$50.00} might not seem like much to Charles Schwab, but I 'm a poor college student.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
