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: EQUIFAX, INC. (VA)

I paid off my personal loan ( amount {$770.00} ) with XXXX as of XX/XX/XXXX. At this point in time the matter was handled as a pay to delete. On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX a manager ) as well as XXXX ( a rep ) after receiving a statement saying my settlement was a payment and that I still had a large balance due within a few weeks. I was informed by XXXX that everything would be handled and to disregard the statement notice. 

Please note that XXXX continues to report a negative payment history for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX despite this account being settled in full. Moreover on XX/XX/XXXX I spoke to XXXX who reported that my account was showing settled in full and it would be removed from all credit reporting. On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke to XXXX who sent me an additional letter from XXXX reporting my account was closed with a XXXX balance. XXXX further reported that it would take approximately 60 days for this account to fall off my credit reports. XXXX then instructed me to call the credit bureaus and dispute this account myself if it was taking too long for them to recitfy. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called and spoke to XXXX who reported that all she could do was assist me by opening up a ticket ( # XXXX ) and that she could not give me a time estimate on the completion of this issue. 

After repeatedly disputing with the credit bureaus to no avail, XXXX needs to be held accountable for reporting inaccurate payment history and failing to have this account deleted.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I submitted a credit repair request to a company, but they failed to respond within the 30-day timeframe required by law. This failure to respond has negatively impacted my credit and caused difficulties for me. I am now considering submitting a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), in order to address the situation and protect my rights as a consumer.

Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble getting information about the card
Company: U.S. BANCORP (CA)

I was given a brand new prepaid gift card for my birthday, last year. I placed in my drawer with several others. Decided to use it yesterday. Tried to activate it on the website, but the website is no good. Called and was told the card was registered to someone else after providing the number. Did a 3-way call with the purchaser. She confirmed the card had not been used, she no longer had the receipt but had gotten a call from someone else she purchased a gift card from this company. Same problem. I requested information to substantiate their clam and they could provide none. They wanted my personal information, which I absolutely would not provide. They began disconnecting the call every time I phoned back. My friend is out of a {$100.00} and I have a useless gift card. This company is fraudulent. www.prepaidgiftbalance.com - XXXX What can be done?

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (VA)

I submitted a mortgage loan application to Bank of America on XX/XX/2021 to purchase my first home in XXXX, XXXX After the initial acceptance and signing of their offer, and throughout the approval process, the lender sent a number of requests of documents and support to justify my income and debts. 
It became clear that each one of these requests seemed to put in doubt my financial situation and creditworthiness, with messages of urgency and threats to decline the loan ; even though every time I was sent a request, I sent in the requested documents without delay and in perfect order ( including : tax returns, check stubs, letter of employment, bank statements, etc. ). There were no follow ups to these requests, just silence until the next urgent request. It seemed to me as though they were looking for any reason to decline my loan. 
On XX/XX/2021, after over a week without any contact or requests, and only 6 days before closing, I was contacted by my loan officer XXXX XXXX ( NMLS # XXXX ), who announced that the Bank of America decided to reclassify the property loan from a primary residence to a non-owner occupied, and as a result would steer me to a loan with less favorable terms, and further delay the process by more than six months. This new loan would have a higher interest rate and disqualify me from the closing cost assistance program which I previously qualified for, under the terms of the original loan offer I agreed to at the end of XXXX. 
When I tried to get someone to explain to me how the reclassification occurred, and why I was not notified that this would be an issue more than six days before my closing date, XXXX XXXX ( NMLS # XXXX ), Vice President CS Sales Manager at Bank of America, told me on the phone that the reason was that the Bank of America decided my property will be investment property based on their research. When I asked to see the written research, or tried to get contact information to someone I could clarify what the misunderstanding was, he told me that he couldnt provide any written documentation until I had cancelled the loan. He explained that the Bank of America is unsure that I am going to move out of my current address, in spite of receiving multiple letters from my employers saying so. Both XXXX and XXXX have refused to provide a formal written response or make available any possible consideration to correct this mistake in my case. Any written correspondence Ive had with Bank of America has been through their secure messaging system, where messages conveniently auto-expire. 
So, with only 6 days to closing on XX/XX/2021 I am facing the prospect of losing the house I worked so hard to achieve, and it has nothing to do with my financial situation and creditworthiness, but a vagary administrative decision that has left me without any apparent recourse. 
I hope you can understand my frustration, and can help me in this matter. 

Thank you so much in advance, XXXX

If the evidence available to the furnisher is inconclusivei.e., if the investigation is unable to determine whether the disputed information is accurate or notthen the FCRA does not allow a furnisher to report back to the consumer reporting agency that its investigation verified the accuracy of that information. Even if no reasonable investigation could have conclusively determined that the information was false, the fact remains that the information has not been verified and must be handled accordingly. In particular, Section 1681s-2 ( b ) ( 1 ) ( E ) provides that when disputed information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the furnisher must, as appropriate, delete, modify, or permanently cease reporting the disputed information. The appropriate response is the one that will ensure that the furnisher does not continue to report any of the XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX information that the consumer has disputed unless that information is verifiably accurate. Thus, any information that can not be verified should be deleted from the data that the furnisher submits to consumer reporting agencies. Moreover XXXX still has NOT PROVIDED PROOF.
