Consumer complaint received 2023-10-10
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

On XXXX I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, 
inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was computergenerated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your 
opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a 
stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I 
believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.
I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint 
with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
I further remind you that, as in White v. Experian Information Solutions, 993 F. Supp. 2d 1154 - Dist. 
Court, (CD California 2014); you may be liable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) by 
recklessly failing to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accurate reporting of debts discharged 
in bankruptcy and by refusing to adequately investigate consumer disputes regarding the status of 
discharged accounts.
I have requested that all NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS provide proof 
of alleged items. I request to be provided with specifically the original application, contract, note, or 
another instrument bearing my signature.
In addition, any the contract signed between NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT 
COLLECTORS & the original creditor, notarized and sworn under penalty and perjury NON CREDITORS, 
COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS ability to collect this alleged debt.
I request this under 15 U.S. Code  1692g - Validation of debts. If information is not provided or the 
false reporting isnt removed; as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 (C.D.Cal. Nov. 14, 1995), 
you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 
100% accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is 
completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be reinvestigated.

Multiple dispute letters were mailed to TransUnion, contacted directly over the phone, and documentation was provided to them.

I filed a dispute for a total amount of about XXXX bucks to Wells Fargo and explained to them my card was stolen and that I didnt recognize the transactions reported. I even filed a police report in my area. Instead of trying to give me the funds while my account was under review they quickly rejected my claim in a day. I dont have any reason to lie my money was took from me and they didnt even try to give me my money back. There is no way they confiscated a proper investigation in just a day or two. I still want my XXXX back that is a lot of money to lose and these guys at Wells Fargo didnt even help me out nor did they even allow me to appeal the decision to deny my claim. Please all I ask for is my money back in the amount of XXXX I did NOT authorize that transaction I want my money back

I am writing to dispute a debt collection account that is appearing on my credit report. Under the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is required that all information on a credit report be accurate, complete, and verifiable. However, the debt collection account in question has not been verified, and I believe that it is inaccurate and incomplete. 

According to the FCRA, debt collections can only remain on my credit report for up to 7 years from the date of the original delinquency. In this case, the debt collection is beyond the allowed time frame and should be removed from my credit report immediately. 

I request that you investigate and remove this account from my credit report as soon as possible, in accordance with the FCRA. Additionally, I request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once this error has been corrected. 

Thank you for your attentiontothismatter.

Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (VA)

I have an automatic payment ( from my bank XXXX ) going to Freedom Mortgage every month on the XXXX for my mortgage payment of {$1700.00}. In the past, I've also made additional payments to principal outside of this automatic mortgage payment. Here is what happened chronologically. 

XX/XX/year> - {$1700.00} XXXX automatic payment sent to Freedom Mortgage. 

XX/XX/year> - {$1700.00} Freedom Mortgage applied amount to principal. 

XX/XX/year> - Freedom Mortgage payment due ( {$170000.00} ) XX/XX/year> - I log into Freedom Mortgage and by chance noticed what happened. I immediately send in payment of {$1700.00} ( again ) as well as principal of {$4700.00}. 

XX/XX/year> - I email Freedom Mortgage through their secure system and ask why they applied my XX/XX/year> payment to principal instead of the XX/XX/year> mortgage payment. The response was that they applied the XX/XX/year> payment to the mortgage payment ( due on XX/XX/year> ) and the XX/XX/year> payment was applied to principal. This did not answer my question. I asked again, and got the same answer again. I then asked a third time, which has not been answered yet. Each time the answer comes back days if not a week later and they say they need time to investigate. Each time the answer makes no sense why the XX/XX/year> payment wasn't applied to the XX/XX/year> mortgage payment due date. 

XX/XX/year> - Freedom Mortgage waived late fee of {$70.00}. I don't know when they had charged me a late fee and if this affected my credit score. 

My personal feeling is that this is potentially a method for them to make me constantly late so that they can take back my very low interest mortgage ( 2.375 % ).

They just changed the name and have been giving me a problem since. I've disputed multiple times and can't seem to get them to comply to remove this nightmare.
