Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MS)

Fraudulent accounts were opened online, in my name with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I did not know about these accounts until I received a debt collection letter in regards to one of these accounts. These are fraudulent accounts that I never opened! 

When I became aware of the fraudulent accounts, I immediately opened disputes with credit bureaus, reported to XXXX XXXX XXXX fraud department and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   fraud department for investigation on XX/XX/XXXX. I also placed fraud alerts and credit freezes with all 3 credit bureaus. On XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a police report with my local police department about the fraud/identity theft. 

I received a collection letter for the amount of {$7800.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This prompted me to check my credit report, where I discovered two fraudulent accounts, one being with XXXX XXXX XXXX with a balance of {$990.00}, and the other with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  in the amount of {$7800.00}. I have never received a card for the accounts with either company, I never received any billing statement, online or by mail, and my email address and phone number is not associated with the accounts. I did NOT apply for the accounts!!! 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  also never contacted me to verify my identity before the accounts were fraudulently opened in my name! 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  have been unhelpful in resolving this gigantic problem. They are also not accepting the fraudulent claim due to the account being in my name, even though I, personally, have never opened an account with them. I have taken all steps to prove my innocence and to get these removed from my credit report. I've placed fraud alerts, credit freezes, reported to the FTC, filed a police report, and have sent them letters and documents recommended from FTC as well as a copy of my identity theft report. They still will not accept my fraud claim and remove it from my credit report and collections.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC (NC)

I paid {$3000.00} into my escrow account beginning XX/XX/XXXX and ending XX/XX/XXXX. I received an homeowners insurance reduction of {$120.00} because of a new roof I had replaced in XX/XX/XXXX. The insurance company sent me a check for {$120.00} and I called Specialized Loan Servicing to ask them about the money going back into my escrow account. Specialized Loan Servicing told me to make an extra escrow payment for {$120.00} to cover the projected shortage. I made that extra payment along with my normal payment XX/XX/XXXX. I also made another extra escrow payment XX/XX/XXXX. The total extra escrow payments was {$220.00}. I received an escrow analysis showing a shortage in the account and instead of applying the {$220.00} to my escrow account XXXX applied the extra funds to my principle. The new payment starting in XX/XX/XXXX is based on that shortage and is incorrect. I have called the company which is so terrible to get to them .The company makes you jump over hoops just to talk to someone and then they will tell you different things just to get you off the phone.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC (VA)

On XX/XX/20, I contacted Shellpoint  Mortgage Servicing ( NewRez LLC ) to request a reversal of a NSF fee that was due to a banking error. ( The mortgage was ultimately paid in full in the month that the payment was due. ) Shellpoint  's response was anti-consumer. Their requirement was to ask me to engage my bank and request that the bank provide proof that the issue originated in a banking error. This response is anti-consumer because it requires further coordination of the consumer ( waiting on hold, multiple follow-ups with the bank and mortgage servicer ) from an event that was not the fault of the consumer. I believe this is an attempt to make it very difficult for the consumer to recover the fee even if the fee should ethically, morally, and/or legally reversed. This is even more anti-consumer because I did not choose to conduct business with this mortgage servicer, and in fact have had multiple issues with their level of customer service. My loan was sold to this company, which I would much prefer to avoid for the foreseeable future.

I have always paid my account on time every month thru the website that the company provided and i always received notice that they received the payment. However, one month they notified me 30 days later that they never received the payment. I quickly paid it as soon as I was notified and I tried disputing it with the company because I had paid it and it was their websites problem and not my mistake but they refused to remove it even though they acknowledged that it may have happened since they have intermittent problems with their website. Please help as this is affecting my ability to get the best rates on a home loan and this was not my mistake.

Issue: Credit card protection / Debt protection — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (TX)

XXXX has been charging my account with a " Debt Protection '' fee I never even signedfor. I have been a card holder since XX/XX/XXXX, and was shocked that XXXX would allow these unauthorized charges on my account. Today, i called the XXXX provided on my statement, and neither XXXX of the XXXX representatives i spoke to could give me a confirmation, proof, anything, of how i was being charged for this " optional service fee ''. I asked for cancellation right away, and they could not even give me a confirmation # for that. A girl named XXXX, who was the XXXX XXXX i spoke to, mentioned it was an optional service and that i was somehow signed up since XX/XX/XXXX!!! She tried to explain the " benefit '' of the service, but i was clueless as i have never, nor will ever, even consider such an option to begin with. She stated she would transfer me to another line to cancel, which i was redirected to a guy named XXXX, XXXX. He could not give me any direct answers on how this service was authorized, and mentioned he would cancel it today ( XX/XX/XXXX ), and that i would be " REFUNDED '' any charges dating back to XX/XX/XXXX. He mentioned within 30 days, i would receive a letter, or that the refund should show up on my XXXX account, if not, to call back and speak to a rep again. I purchased a washer and dryer last year On XXXX XXXX, for my new home, and since then, for every month, they have been charging this fee. It started with a " debt protection '' fee of {$20.00}, and has gone up EVERY MONTH since now to {$59.00}!!!

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA)

Capital One made a change to their closing date without giving me a proper notification. 
Changing the closing date from a fixed date each month to a floating date depending on the month. They failed to properly notify me of this change by only included this important notice as a footnote, in small print, at the end of my paperless XXXX statement. 
As a retired person, living on a fixed income, I carefully monitor my charges each month to pay the credit card in full thus avoiding the additional interest rate imposed by Capital One. 
Capital One has the right to make changes to their policy but they need to properly inform the customer as these changes have a direct and material effect on the customer 's finances. 
When I contacted Capital One customer service to ask why they failed to close on the accustomed date I was ridiculed and told the change was made and I need to deal with it. Too bad if I didn't read to the bottom of my statement. 
Capital One has a responsibility to ensure the customer is properly made aware of these changes by sending out a specific email or mailer not attached to the end of a statement that may be overseen but rather to make every effort to ensure the customer has the proper information in order to conduct their expenditures responsibly. 
However, by changing the closing date, without proper notification, I feel I have been TRICKED by Capital One.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (MN)

Fifth Third Bank purchased our mortgage loan 12 months ago. Our home was purchased in 2020 and has risen in value over 20 % like most homes in the entire Country. I have reached out to them 3 times now about cancelling our PMI. The first inquiry was responded to with an explanation that the mortgage had to be 2 years old before cancellation request. I filed most recently on the 2 year anniversary of our mortgage. This time to be denied on the basis that the " appraisal tool '' their investor uses did not value the property above 80 % LTV. I then appealed and paid for a broker price opinion ( BPO ). The broker appraised our house at a value that puts it at 78.99 % LTV. While I still believe that valuation to be lower than actual value- it should be enough to remove PMI. I now received a letter stating that it needs to be below 75 % LTV. They have made this process a hassle - and continue to move the needle. I have reached out to an attorney to remove PMI and be credited for months overpaid under the Homeowners Protection Act. Shame on this bank for their greedy practices.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MD)

I sent all three consumer reporting agencies a letter asking to investigate certain accounts on my consumer report. I received the results from the investigation from XXXX and XXXX, and they failed to provide me with the contact information of the individuals they spoke with to get this information. Also, the accounts I highlighted can not be verified as I have no contract with these companies. Three companies in particular, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX all have acquired my personal and private identification information without my consent. Not only did they take my information, they CREATED ACCOUNTS with my information just to harass me with claims of owing an alleged debt. That is IDENTITY THEFT. 

Pursuant to the FCRA, any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report in accordance WITH THE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS OF THE CONSUMER to whom it relates. I NEVER, EVER gave ANYONE consent to take my information and do whatever with it, just for their benefit. So how and where are these people getting my information from if I never gave it to them in the first place?? The FCRA also states that consumer reporting agencies shall disclose to the consumer the identity of the person they spoke with. That includes the name, phone number, and address. However, that information was not disclosed to me, instead they have it as " Verified '' on my consumer report, with no evidence behind it. 

Why do I have to verify my identity when it comes to MY information, that I NEVER even gave ANYONE consent to have in the first place?? You can't even identify someone over the phone or mail! But for some reason, there is no verification when it comes to them putting false information on MY consumer report, when in fact the LAW says it shall be. I'm tired of the fraudulent and deceptive practices. It's harassment and abuse, and needs to cease immediately. 

I am giving the consumer reporting agencies MY CONSENT to reinvestigate this matter.
