According to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ), credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. However, Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX have failed in their responsibility to fulfill this requirement. They have furnished information that does not reflect my actual credit behavior, which is not only erroneous but also damaging to my reputation and financial opportunities. 
As a consumer, I am entitled to fair and accurate credit reporting under federal law. I have diligently followed the proper procedures to dispute the inaccuracies, but the financial institution 's refusal to correct the errors and the consumer reporting agencies ' lack of thorough investigation have caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and overall financial standing. 
The inaccuracies present in my credit reports include : Outdated information : Some of the reported information is outdated, such as closed accounts being listed as active, which further hampers my creditworthiness assessment. 
Reporting of late payments that were never made : Several accounts on my credit report show late payments, but I can confirm that these instances are incorrect. I have always made timely payments and have records to substantiate this claim. 
I have diligently tried to resolve these issues by disputing the inaccurate information through the credit reporting agencies ' dispute processes. However, their responses have been unsatisfactory and merely result in re-verifications of the disputed information without proper investigation.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Consumer complaint received 2023-07-12
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

I had requested Loan modification under HAMP program in XXXX for both my mortgages with Bank of America. 

Bank of America did not follow the Federal Guideline under HAMP Program and made several error at the time of modification including but not limited to : 1 ) Loan to Value On the HUD and IRS website, under HAMP, if a mortgage loan is being considered for a HAMP modification and if the ratio of the amount owed to the value of the home is greater than XXXX percent, then the servicer must consider whether a Principal Reduction AlternativeSM ( PRA ) principal reduction should be effected as one part of the HAMP modification. 

In the modification analysis prepared by Bank of America employee, XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, the XXXX was XXXX XXXX which is greater than the XXXX XXXX  stated in the rule. Bank of America did not reduce the principal and in all documentation that I have this was not considered. The rule states that the servicer must consider principal reduction as one part of the modification there is no showing or indication that principal reduction was considered during my loan modification. 

2 ) Debt to income ratio On the HUD and IRS website, under HAMP, a participating loan servicer must consider a sequence of modification steps for each eligible homeowners mortgage loan until the loans monthly payment is reduced to XXXX percent of the homeowners verified monthly gross ( pre-tax ) income. Sometimes, a change in the mortgage loans interest rate is sufficient to reach the XXXX target. Sometimes additional modification steps of term extension or forbearance are necessary as well. 

In the modification financial analysis the numbers provided by Bank of America calculated the Debt to income ratio at 44.68 % instead of meeting the 31 % reduction required by the HAMP guidelines. Although they extended the term to 40 years the calculations did not arrive at the required XXXX XXXX and in that case the forbearance option should have been applied to reduce it to that number. 

3 ) Failing to include the 2nd mortgage in modification.

On the HUD and IRS website, under HAMP Second Lien Modification which provides modifications and extinguishments on second liens when there has been an eligible first lien modification on the same property.

Here there was an eligible first lien modification on the property, and I was never provided with an option to extinguish or modify the second. Throughout the modification process I included the loan number for the second to have them both modified and it was never addressed. 
Now my house is under foreclosure from XXXX XXXX XXXX for the 2nd Mortgage.
