Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (GA)

In XX/XX/2021, my husband and I started the process of securing a line of credit/equity loan on our home. We decided to work with Regions Bank as I had a prior relationship with them. I was specifically working with XXXX XXXX, underwriter, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX was also involved in the process. 

There were multiple communications by phone and by email. At some point we were notified that that we were in the final underwriting stage and then all communication just stopped. This took place from approximately XX/XX/2021 - through about the end XXXX, end of XX/XX/2021. 

After communication stopped - both by phone and by email, I made a final reach out to determine what happened and was advised by XXXX XXXX that our application was denied. I stated that we had not received official documentation outlining the reason for our denial. XXXX promised to follow up with me from their underwriting team and that a letter would be sent. A letter was never sent and has never been received. 

We subsequently obtained a equity home loan from XXXX XXXX XXXX as of XX/XX/2021. 

Can the CFPB assist in helping us obtain the official letter outlining the reason for our denial? I do not want any hard checks on my credit report, just to have an understanding why this is. 

Additionally, in and around XX/XX/2021, I requested a credit limit increase on my credit limit on my Regions XXXX Card and avail myself of the multiple 0 % offers they provide as my balance was down to {$0.00}. Both of these were denied after hard credit pulls with no letter stating why the credit increase or the offers were denied. 

Isn't this in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act?

In XX/XX/2018 I used points to redeem a credit on my Capital One credit card to get ahead of my balance. Once I did this Capital One took me off auto pay without notification or authorization. This caused me to miss my XXXX and XXXX payments before I discovered it. The payments were immediately rectified from my end, but Capital One refused to correct the status of my account. This has led to a drop in my credit score over 80 points in the last 2 weeks. I have submitted disputes with Capital One, XXXX, XXXX and a complaint to the XXXX. Capital One has reached out twice since I submitted the XXXX  complaint but my case worker is not available when I call back. Messages have been left and I tried talking to other employees who told me they would notify her I called her back. Capital One needs to be held responsible for their unethical actions. They have thrown my current job search into chaos and I am having to explain their unethical business practices to everyone I am interviewing with.

I sent a complaint stating for removal of a XXXX and XXXX bankruptcy that was reporting on my account. I sent a copy of the letter from the bankruptcy court stating that they do not report to credit bureaus and therefore wanted the bankruptcies removed. Equifax responded and updated the credit reports to the two bankruptcies being discharged as a chapter XXXX. They also stated this was verified through a third-party called XXXX XXXX. This is false and Equifax did not verify anything with XXXX XXXX. If it would have been verified, it would not have been updated with inaccurate and even more damaging information. There is no way legally, I could have filed and had two bankruptcies discharged through Chapter XXXX as they indicated.

XX/XX/XXXX Regarding : Account XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Card Department XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX To Whom It XXXX Concern : I am writing a letter about my experience with XXXX that is a mixture of a grateful " thank-you '' and a pressing request concerning a XXXX Charge Card tradeline in my credit files that I would like to have revised. 
I received the XXXX card in XXXX, several years before I experienced the death of my late mother to stage XXXX XXXX XXXX. Later when I experienced the death of my mother, I became disorganized with respect to making timely payments with XXXX as it was a very hard time for me in my life where everything just stopped I lost who I was where I had to even get checked into a mental health hospital for 15 days. I fully recognize my responsibility with respect to payable accounts and have worked diligently to rehabilitate my relationship with XXXX that time. 
To be honest, that year was a " wake-up '' call for me regarding fiscal organization. Since then I believe I have learned the essential organizational and financial management principles I desperately needed at that point. Thankfully, responsible credit management is now reflected in my credit records which -- excluding the XXXX card late entry -- are excellent. I wish to thank you for renewing your confidence in me and for giving me a second chance at a relationship with you, XXXX that I am determined to keep spotless. 
We are about to shop for a mortgage, and it has come to my attention that the late notations from XXXX XXXX preclude me from taking full advantage of the very lowest interest rates now available. Since those notations do not reflect my current status with XXXX, I am requesting that you give me a second chance at a positive credit rating by revising those tradelines. Your customer service representative suggested that I write you for a " goodwill adjustment. '' I sincerely hope that there is redemption at XXXX, and I beg you for such consideration. Please let me know if any additional documentation would assist in reaching a positive outcome, and I thank you again for the time you have spent reading this letter. 
Very hopefully yours, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Convergent Resources, Inc. (RI)

I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

A week ago, I checked my credit report, some information is not mine. I think that I may be a victim of identity theft. I do not recognize these accounts and have never incurred debt with these creditors. Also, I got inquiries and I do not know where they came from. Thus, I am requesting that you please verify the validity of these accounts, and remove them once its confirmed that they are not mine. It could also be possible you are mixing up these accounts with someone that has a similar name as me.
