Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an XXXX & Equifax breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

On or about XX/XX/2023 I initiated a money transfer in the amount of {$240.00} from my PayPal account to my XXXXXXXX XXXX  checking account, upon checking my bank account the funds never appeared! I contacted XXXX XXXX immediately and I learned that this particular account had been closed due to inactivity as I was unaware and XXXXXXXX XXXX never notified me electronically that account had been closed, of course if I had been made aware I certainly would not have sent funds to this particular account! So when speaking to bank representative she said funds would be rejected and sent back to PayPal I waited for about 72 hours before contacting PayPal as it was XXXX of XXXX that Tuesday and process would take longer due to holiday! When I finally was able to speak with PayPal money had not arrived back to them and I explained the situation to them that bank account had been closed without my knowledge and they said they would open up a case and do a trace to see and try and locate money. A few days passed and PayPal got back with me and according to their investigation XXXX XXXX had received funds, I contacted XXXX once again made them aware of what PayPal had said so the bank representative did a deep dive more or less to no avail on the whereabouts of the money! I then did a 3 way call with both regions and PayPal so that representatives could speak on phone as I was present and try and figure out the situation both pretty much blamed one another as PayPal had not received funds back and PayPal told regions representative that after their investigation the money had been accepted! In subsequent days and weeks I did two more 3 way calls with XXXX  and PayPal and still had zero answers as to where money was!

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NC)

Fifth Third began servicing my mortgage in approximately 2016. At the time the mortgage was originated, we had to pay PMI. We reached out to 5/3 and asked about the process to have it removed, and were advised that after a year of payments, we could request to have it removed. We paid for a year, and called to request to have it removed. 

We were advised that we needed to pay for an appraisal to ensure that we met the LTV ratios. We did so. 5/3 sent an appraiser and charged us over {$500.00} for the appraisal. The appraisal came back, and our request to remove the PMI was denied. Apparently we were {$4400.00} away from the appropriate LTV ratio. 

We made payments for another year. We contacted 5/3 and requested for the PMI to be removed. This time, we submitted an online valuation of our home. 5/3 again declined our request to remove the PMI, based on an even LOWER LTV ratio, and advised us that we should order an appraisal for {$150.00}. 

I called 5/3 and said that I thought their business practices were unfair, deceptive, and designed to rip off customers and enrich 5/3. They charged us over {$500.00} for an appraisal, and a year later, they said that an appraisal costs {$150.00}. In the meantime, they continued to collect PMI from us, in the amount of approximately {$250.00} per month. 

They declined our request to remove the PMI, and gave different standards and guidelines for removal each time, and different reasons for why we were declined each time. They also gave conflicting information on the cost of an appraisal. 

5/3 had someone call me back, and I never spoke to this person. They left one message with me, and I have left at least 10 messages with 5/3 's requesting resolution of my complaint. I even requested an appointment to speak with someone because I could never get in touch with anyone. I have not received a response. 

In the meantime, 5/3 has continued to collect PMI from us each month, even though we met the required LTV 2 years ago.

NOTE : It takes weeks for a tax refund to be processed, so this is why we have the dates XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  in my complaint The amount of {$350.00} versus {$400.00} is because of a discount I paid UPFRONT!
