Consumer complaint received 2023-02-02
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I submitted a dispute with XXXX XXXX mortgage company on XXXX XXXX, XXXX to remove an unauthorized inquiry made by a loan consultant with XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. A loan consultant with XXXX XXXX called to me to inform me that I was eligible to refinance my existing mortgage with XXXX XXXX. After speaking with the representative, I informed him I would call him back after I spoke with my husband about the possibility of refinancing. After ending the call, the loan consultant did not wait for my call back and simply ran my credit without my consent. While reviewing my credit report in XXXX XXXX, I noticed there was an unauthorized inquiry made on my credit report from XXXX XXXX. in XX/XX/XXXX. I then contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX disputing the unauthorized inquiry made on my credit report. I was told to call back in 30 days for a resolution. I called XXXX XXXX back on XXXX XXXX, XXXX for a resolution and I was told the dispute was still in process and the representative did not see a response in the notes. Therefore, the XXXX XXXX representative took it upon herself to submit a new dispute and asked I call back in 30 days for a resolution. XX/XX/XXXX ( just 1 day short of 30 days ) I receive a letter from XXXX XXXX stating that i would need to contact XXXX credit reporting agencies, 1 of which I have never heard of ( XXXX ) and send XXXX XXXX all 4 credit reports which evidenced an inquiry was actually made on each of the credit reporting agencies report. It went on to say that once i return all XXXX credit reports from each credit reporting agency and sign a letter requesting XXXX XXXX to remove the unauthorized inquiry. Once they receive all XXXX credit reports from each credit reporting company along with a letter signed requesting a dispute for the unauthorized inquiries will XXXX XXXX start an investigation into determining if an unauthorized inquiry was made. 
I find this unacceptable after I had submitted the dispute more than 2 months prior with XXXX XXXX and spoke to several representatives and fraud departments at XXXX XXXX who asked me to call back in 30 days ( twice ) for a resolution. 
I am just being given the run around in hopes i will just stop insisting this unauthorized inquiry be removed. According to the FCRA this unauthorized inquiry must be removed.

I submitted a complaint with CFPB ( XXXX ) on XX/XX/2020 on Equifax for the inaccurate reporting of the a collection account with XXXX XXXX. I received the following response from Equifax " Thank you for submitting your complaint through the CFPB Complaint Portal. In your complaint, you indicated that there were inaccurate or incorrect items reporting on your credit file. In review, the identification information you provided does not match our records. In order to properly assist you, we will need additional information in order to verify your identification and current address. Please provide a legible photocopy of a valid document that shows your name, current address and complete social security number. Listed below are examples of documents that may be provided as verification of your identification and current address : Pay stub or W2 with complete U.S. social security number, valid social security card, Driver 's license, rental/lease agreement/house deed, mortgage or bank statement, utility bill for gas, cable or residential telephone bill. Please return this letter along with the requested information to Equifax Information Services LLC XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX ''. 

The problem with this I contacted Equifax in XX/XX/2020 regarding this same account. Along with the complaint I provided proof of Identification ( The exact same that being provided in this complaint ).

15 USC 1681i " if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a consumer reporting agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a reseller, of such dispute, the agency shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from the file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or reseller ''.

Equifax has had 3 opportunities prior to this complaint to contact the data furnisher to verify the account. That was not my initial complaint with Equifax. My initial complaint was for them to provide me with the method of verification. ( FCRA, Section 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) and ( 7 ) 15 USC 1681i ) How did they verify the account to be accurate, who did they talk to, what information was forwarded back to them to confirm the accuracy of account. I specifically, requested that they DO NOT USE any forms of automation to re-investigate the account such as E-Oscar. 

I've never received from Equifax the information I requested from Equifax. Even today as I submit this second complaint the information has not been sent. I'm including the letter I sent Equifax requesting the information.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (WV)

Navient has unrightfully denied my attempts to join an income-based payment plan. I have submitted the necessary paperwork 6 times. I have been denied, for various and illegitimate reasons, all 6 times. 

I called Navient Customer service the last time my application has been denied. I was told that the reason I am being denied was because I did not add the words " Gross Income '' to my written Income Statement ( the statement that accompanies the proof of income. ) I was told that after fixing this issue, all my paperwork would be acceptable. Thus, I fixed the issue, yet I was still denied. 

Navient is seems determined to continue to deny my attempts at an Income-Based Repayment Plan, despite the fact that a W.V. XXXX XXXX CAN NOT afford the high, standard payments.

I have been forced into forbearance, until the matter can be resolved.

The only email I have ever received : " We've received your request for an Income-Driven Repayment plan ; however, we're unable to process your request at this time because the proof of income you submitted did not clearly indicate the pay frequency ( i.e., weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc. ). In the meantime, please continue making your payments as scheduled. '' ***My last Income Statement is included. Along with this written statement, I have submitted a pay stub from XX/XX/2017, and an application for Income-based Repayment. ***

I recently pulled my credit and notice XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a balance of {$1100.00}. I've sent four letters to this company asking to verify this debt. Along with a lot of other things I asked this company to send, I also asked for a copy of the hospital agreement with my signature. I have not received anything but a print out of a balance they claim I owe. I am a twin and they mix our files up at the doctors office/hospital ALL the time! How do I know that this debt is mine?? Because this company have failed to validate the debt properly and yet still verify the debt with the credit bureaus, they have violated my rights. These rights were put in place by the FCRA and the FDCPA. I have given this company enough time to send the proper documentation and they just simply ignored my request. They have failed to validate the debt, but still verifying the debt with the credit bureaus, and are still attempting to collect the debt.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NJ)

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau ( EQUIFAX ). As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.
