After further review of my credit report I notice, XXXX XXXX is reporting a late fee on my report from XXXX during the pandemic. I have exception payment history with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX so to see a late payment being reported is heart breaking. I am asking in good faith for this late payment to be reversed due to the payment being sent in a timely manner. I have contacted XXXX XXXX customer service, and they advised it was nothing can be done, although XXXX was a difficult time for the entire world. I will hate to think a company like XXXX XXXX doesn't care what their clients were going through during a pandemic. I have had this account since XXXX and as of today XX/XX/XXXX, There is only 1 late payment being reported which is negatively impacting my credit report.

15 U.S. Code 1666b - Timing of payments ( a ) Time to Make Payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (VA)

We have had this mortgage for about 15 years, and it has been sold a couple times to other providers. We pay more than the payment every month. We have been doing this for years. Over the last two years there has been multiple times, the additional amount is applied to payments, and not the principal. We call, they apologize, and they say it won't happen again. There has been at least 4 times we have caught this. Due to us not seeing this in the past, it appears they are doing this intentionally.

I have sent several complaints to Transunion about their online issue with my account, and they claim that they can do nothing about the problem. They don't offer me any solutions to be able to access my online Transunion Report. Per the Transunion Website, I should be able to receive a brand new report every XXXX hours on their site. Also, today I reported immediately a fraudulent hard inquiry by the name of XXXX. I do not have an account with this company, and have tried to reach XXXX to remove the inquiry, but they said they can do nothing about it. Transunion told me that I had to create another FTC report, but said they would do nothing about the problem, so I wish to open up a report here. Please Remove this hard inquiry : XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023

Greetings in reviewing my credit file I noticed three auto financing companies that I did not give permission to pull my credit. ( see below companies ) -XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I contacted XXXX credit bureau on XX/XX/2022 ( fraud dept ) was informed to contact the finance company directly. Upon contacting XXXX XXXX XXXX, I was informed they are unable to help me with the dispute since I am not their customer. In addition, I was told dealerships will sometimes fish the application for financing to multiple companies. I do not see this as fair, if I did not give each of the above companies direct authorization for a hard inquirer. 

To make things equitable in these scenarios with car dealerships, can the CFPB require an additional form to be signed by consumer giving authorization to conduct this practice. 

Can the above inquirers be deleted from my credit file it is extremely affecting my credit score? 

I greatly appreciate your assistance with this matter.

Fraudulent accounts, information, and activities have contaminated my Credit File, and I am once again requesting the removal of such information resulting from the fraud. It is important to note that my personal information was exposed in the XXXX data breach. I am submitting this complaint via the CFPB to request that the three major Credit Reporting Agencies remove the accounts and information that remain on my Credit File, despite the actions they have taken in removing a portion of the disputed items. I have been requesting that they remove the accounts and information resulting from fraudulent activities. While I appreciate their efforts in removing some of the fraudulent accounts and information, I am seeking help once more to request that they remove the remaining fraudulent accounts. 
The accounts, inquiries, and inaccurate addresses listed are not associated with me in any way. I have neither received any money, goods, nor services as a result of identity theft, nor have I authorized these accounts. I urgently request that the Credit Reporting Agencies promptly remove any affiliation of these items with my identity. I need the help of the Credit Bureaus in removing the following items from my Credit File : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Bankruptcy XXXX XXXX-discharged Reference # : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. This is my numerous request for the Credit Bureaus to remove these items, and I do not lose hope in resolving this matter as peacefully as possible. If the Credit Bureaus ' investigation finds that the disputed items belong to me, I require them to send me copies of the documents they found during their investigation. In the absence of such documents, immediate removal of the disputed items is expected.

Dispute for account ending in XXXX : Fraud Claim Denial Transactions : XX/XX/XXXX {$1000.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$1000.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$500.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$500.00} Total Fraud Scam Amount {$3000.00} Prior to the holidays for XXXX I attempted to make a purchase online from XXXX XXXX Unfortunately, I was somehow redirected to a fraudulent 'look alike ' website. Upon checkout my transactions was declined. I was advised to call a support number for assistance. The number offered was XXXX. I called the number and was greeted by an individual claiming to be with XXXX. The individual asked for my debit card information again in an attempt to reprocess the transaction. Again the charge was denied. I was instructed to use my debit card for gift cards and they would convert it back to cash to compete my purchase. They suggested due to the large dollar amount it may be the reason for the difficulty. I complied and later learned that I was a victim of a common and elaborate scam. I immediately contacted WSFS to report the fraud. The woman that I spoke to said this happens all the time and can't count the number of customers that come into the bank to report similar scams. We proceeded with the Fraud claim and I awaited the banks response. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a written response from WSFS that my fraud claim was being denied. It also states that I am permitted a copy of the investigation that led to the fraud claim denial. I requested a copy and after the required 30 days, WSFS failed to respond to my request. WSFS did not adequately protect me as a consumer, they suggested if I had " more money '' with them that my claim would more than likely been accepted and my funds reinstated. I was not adequately protected, WSFS failed to provide basic fraud security, WSFS failed to perform an adequate investigation, WSFS failed to attempt to recover funds, WSFS failed to provide written supporting information relied upon in making its determination to deny my fraud claim. If WSFS was aware of these fraud scams, why did they fail to protect me or educate me on the risk associated with they elaborate fraud rings. I recently called the ticketmaster toll free number above XXXX and the redirected website of XXXX  is still operating. If this was a fraudulent site, why has WSFS failed to report to law enforcement or take any action to protect other consumers. WSFS is taking advantage of my due to my low income and low financial savvy education surrounding these fraud scams, they denied my claim and expected me to go away. My fraud rights protect me and should leave WSFS liable for failing to protect me. I expect my hard earned income to be returned.
