Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of information within my consumer report, as provided by your agency. Upon careful examination, I have discovered that undisclosed personal information about me has been shared with a non-affiliated third party without my explicit written consent, potentially violating the regulations outlined in 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with Respect to Disclosures of Personal Information. 

As per my understanding of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to be informed about and control the disclosure of my personal information. The disclosure of such information to a non-affiliated third party raises concerns regarding my privacy rights, as I was not provided the opportunity to opt-out, as mandated by law. 

After thorough review of the report, I observed that specific accounts are being reported without my written consent. It is important to clarify that my dispute lies not with the creditor but with your reporting agency for disseminating and reporting information without proper authorization. 

I refer to XXXX XXXX XXXX - Permissible Purpose, which mandates a consumer 's written consent for the reporting of personal information. Currently, I have not provided such written consent, and I kindly request documentation to validate my consent, demonstrating compliance with this legal requirement. Failure to furnish evidence of my consent could be interpreted as a violation of my rights under the FCRA. 

Additionally, I have lodged a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding this matter, and the reference number for my complaint is XXXX. I am concerned that the unauthorized disclosure and reporting of my personal information may constitute a violation under 18 USC 1028a, potentially amounting to identity theft.

In accordance with 15 USC 1681c-2, I formally request the removal of the following accounts from my consumer report within four business days from the date of this letter : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Unauthorized Inquiry XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/ I assert my right to a fair and accurate credit reporting process, underscoring that the expeditious removal of these accounts is vital to rectifying the reported inaccuracies. 

Furthermore, I request documentation regarding your method of verification for the disputed accounts and records demonstrating proof of my option to opt out of the information being reported in my consumer report. This will ensure that your reporting agency adheres to the necessary standards for accuracy and fairness in credit reporting. 
I anticipate your timely attention to this matter and the resolution of my dispute within the specified timeframe of four business days. Non-compliance with the provisions of the FCRA may result in further legal action. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

It is disheartening that the Credit Bureaus, namely XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX, have failed to remove the persisting fraudulent items from my credit reports over the past three months. The absence of any deletions during this period is particularly concerning as I anticipate another update to my credit report within the next 15 days. Regrettably, there is a sense of apprehension that I might encounter yet another instance of failure to delete these items from my file. I would like to reiterate that, in accordance with FCRA Section 605B ( a ), Credit Reporting Agencies are obligated to remove any items in the file of a consumer identified as information resulting from an alleged identity theft within four business days of receipt. Additionally, as per Section 605b, Credit Reporting Agencies are required to expeditiously remove any items listed on an identity theft report, specifically under reference # XXXX, pertaining to my case. The items outlined in my earlier complaint dated XX/XX/XXXX have been reiterated here per bureau, as this complaint serves as a follow-up : XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/XXXX ======EQUIFAX : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Caliber Home Loans, Inc. (AZ)

I have requested confirmation information from the servicer twice by calling and twice by emailing. Email takes over a week to respond, and I have not received answers from the customer service representatives over the phone. 

My questions are simple regarding what is required of me to ensure my PMI is removed from my mortgage payment. I have a 30 year FHA loan that closed XX/XX/XXXX as a refinance from an original FHA loan that closed in XX/XX/XXXX. My original purchase was a short sale with an appraised value sale price of {$260000.00}. 

I have asked the lender to confirm that {$200000.00} would be considered 78 % of my original LTV and thus my mortgage insurance will be removed if my loan balance is below that amount after 5 years has passed since my refinance. I also asked them to confirm what would be the first eligible payment date where my mortgage insurance could be removed. 

I have received incorrect information that my PMI can not be removed until XX/XX/XXXX. I have received canned responses regarding the automatic removal of PMI once the loan has reached 78 % LTV and five years of PMI payment. I simply can not get them to answer what dollar amount they show would be considered 78 % LTV and what date they would consider five years of PMI payments.

I'm simply trying to confirm they have the correct information to assure my PMI may be removed as soon as possible when I'm eligible. 

Thank you for your help.
