Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC (CA)

NewRez ( aka ShellPoint ) purchased my mortgage from XXXX in XX/XX/2019. In XX/XX/2019 and upon learning of the sale of the mortgage to NewRez, my CPA, XXXX XXXX, set up an auto payment over the telephone with ShellPoint. ( The exact nature of the relationship of these two entities is unknown. However, NewRez purchased the loan, but does not accept calls from borrowers. XXXX customer service accepts the calls and the payments. It is very confusing. ) On XX/XX/XXXX, we learned from the credit reporting agencies that the auto payments were not set up by ShellPoint and the XXXX and XXXX payments had not been made. We received no notifications from ShellPoint/NewRez that the payments were due and unpaid. 

Payment for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX was made on XX/XX/XXXX. An auto payment was successfully set up over the phone with ShellPoint. 

ShellPoint has reported that the XXXX mortgage payment was 60 days past due. While I dispute any past due because the auto payment was established and sufficient funds were in the account, the XXXX payment was paid XX/XX/XXXX accounting to ShellPoint and was not past due even by ShellPoints records. 

I sent this information to the 3 credit reporting agencies. XXXX has already responded that ShellPoint " verified '' the information in the report. However, this is impossible. I sent the payment history from ShellPoint showing the receipt of the XXXX payment on XX/XX/XXXX only 35 days after XX/XX/XXXX, a far cry from 60 days. 

ShellPoint 's " verification of the information and XXXX XXXX decision to continue to report the XXXX payment as 60 days late is a willful misrepresentation.

Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC. (MD)

On Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX I mailed my XX/XX/XXXX payment via Standard delivery. The payment was not credited to my mortgage account until Thursday XX/XX/XXXX, 9 business days after it was mailed. As a result, PennyMac is reporting my Mortgage account as 30 days late for the XX/XX/XXXX payment. Per the United States Postal Service website, average time for First Class and Standard delivery is 1-3 days. I have spoken to a PennyMac representative several times - onc e in XX/XX/XXXX and several times in XX/XX/XXXX, disputing their reporting of my mortgage account. They refuse to take responsibility for the delay in posting my payment, and continue to place the blame on the United States Postal Service for the delay. I have never been reported as late on my payment, and have previously mailed my payment the last week of the month.

I closed my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX and they are still reporting this as open and still charging fees. They refuse to close the account and remove the fees. I have contacted everyone about this once before. They are a predatory lending agency. They never stop charging fees even after the account is closed. After I closed the account I waited for a final statement in the mail. It never came. Instead they kept the card open and reported late charges. This is ruining my credit! I have asked them more than once to stop and remove the fees they sent me a letter saying they would take off XXXX! That is not acceptable At All! And they are still charging me showing an open account on my credit with all 3 credit bureaus!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

I am reaching out to file a formal complaint against Experian Credit Reporting Agency. I have been an ongoing battle for two bankruptcies that do not belong to me : XXXX BKPT CT GA XXXXXXXX Bankruptcy chapter XXXX-discharged original filing date : XX/XX/XXXX Latest status date : XX/XX/XXXX US BKPT CT GA XXXX Bankruptcy chapter XXXXdismissed original filing date : XX/XX/XXXX Latest status date : XX/XX/XXXX. 



I have written several letters and I have spoken to several representatives over the phone asking for verification of these bankruptcies. The very last conversation I had with a representative from Experian was on XX/XX/XXXX ; due to another written dispute transferred to an online dispute, she stated to me that a third-party vendor is reporting the information accurate back to Experian. I then explained to the representative that I have a distant relative that has the same name as I do ; however, I have a middle name and that relative doesn't. My social security number is not associated with any bankruptcies ; due to me never filing bankruptcy. The call was disconnected. I have done my due diligence and contacted all of the Consumer Reporting Agencies such as : XXXX XXXX, and Clarify to dispute all inaccuracies that are being reporting to the major credit bureaus such as Experian. With proper documentation of my social security card, and an identity fraud report ; I was successful with having that information deleted. The other reporting agencies such as XXXX and XXXX have deleted those negative reporting. Experian is the only credit bureau that is not fully complying with Fair Credit Reporting ACT. 



My last written dispute in XXXX, XXXX ; had the attached findings of the bankruptcies deleted from the public record data base. With substantial evidence through documentation and other evidence such as my social security card ; with the reports showing deletions of the bankruptcies from the other reporting bureaus, Experian still uses a recycled third-party data base to re verify information that is not true. I ask that you hold Experian under all findings of violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

This inaccurate entry on my report is illegally reporting and does not belong to me. Equifax is not providing any identifiable information on who this company is nor are they providing any contact information so that I may attempt to communicate with the company to dispute the inaccuracies of these 4 entries. REMOVE THESE ENTRIES IMMEDIATELY AS EQUIFAX IS VIOLATING MY CONSUMER RIGHTS. I have no recollection of ever owing these alleged debts. If Equifax were following the mandates of the FCRA and ACA, then the company would be identifiable and the company would be able to provide proof of all HIPPA information whereby I gave the alleged medical company permission to allegedly share my information with the collection company as well as copies of their adherance to the Affordable Care Act where there was a screening performed as well as a clear summary that spells out the financial assistance/charity care options available if I am indeed responsible for this debt. Further, where are the copies of the letter this company should have sent in writing first, to advise me that they were turning over this alleged debt to the a collection agency. Also per ACA, once the collection agency, in this case, they are unknown, received the debt, they were still responsible for providing billing information and payment plan options to help satisfy this alleged debt as well as provide a dunning letter to me informing me that they were attempting to collect a debt on behalf of whoever the original company/creditors. To date, I have received nothing.

DELETE THESE ERRONEOUS, INACCURATE, UNVERIFIABLE ENTRIES IMMEDIATELY!

I am over Equifax and their lack of investigating anything. I have tried to get several things fixed and one of the main issues is my last name. I have sent them documentation showing my correct last name but no one is looking at anything!! They mandate I send proof with every correspondence yet they must not be reviewing what they are mandating. My last name is XXXX, not XXXX. The city I live in is XXXX. Just what does that say about anything they report? I have sent several and I do mean several request that they fix my name and they continue to send back wrong information. How can they get away with it? I am sending the same exact documentation I send to them each time showing MY NAME! If they have my last name wrong and continue to report it wrong, I'm wondering just how the heck are they able to validate anything?

You are already being sued. On top of that, I had my lawyer look into some things.

I have been trying to contact The Bureaus, Inc. for several months about repayment of my debt held by them ; I first attempted to contact them on XX/XX/XXXX, and I got a voicemail which said my call would be returned based on the message I was asked to leave ; my call was never returned. I attempted to call again on XX/XX/XXXX, but was met with the same results. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called a third time, again got a voicemail and left a message ; this time, someone returned my call, but I was not able to speak with them at length at that time. We set a time for them to call again the next day, but the call never came. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from XXXX XXXX stating that The Bureaus, Inc. had sold my debt to them, indicating it was because their attempts to collect on the debt were unsuccessful ; this is false, as I called three times over several months and either no one was willing to speak to me or my calls were not returned as promised.

My complaint is that XXXX XXXXepartment of Student Loans Servicing are reporting inaccurate balances on my credit report. In XXXX I was attending college using my post XX/XX/XXXX VA benefits, but by error, only XXXX XXXX of my tuition was being covered. A reimbursement check was sent to the school on XX/XX/XXXX to cover the remaining XXXX XXXX of tuition that was paid by me using student loans and XXXX, as I am eligible for XXXX XXXX tuition coverage. Right now, I still owe XXXX for student loans that were taken out and paid to XXXX XXXX  on my behalf, even after the reimbursement by the Department of Veteran Affairs. I have included the ledger card provided by the school showing where the school has been reimbursed to this dispute letter. I was advised by my financial aid advisor to contact XXXX student loan servicers and again by XXXX to contact XXXX XXXX  financial aid advisors. These balances are inaccurate and I am requesting they be removed immediately from my credit report. 

I have attempted to contact all parties involved but was unable to get my issue resolved. I was only referred back and forth between the college and the loan servicers. I also placed a mail in dispute to Experian requesting the balances be deleted due to inaccuracies but have not received a response in over 90 days, which is well over the time they have to investigate and provide me with accurate and original copies of proof of balances. I have included all documents showing my efforts to resolve this issue before filing this complaint, to this complaint

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Onity Group Inc. (AL)

I have had a conventional mortgage with XXXX XXXX  since XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX XXXX  to inquire about the cancellation of my PMI. On XX/XX/XXXX, my loan balance dropped below 78 percent of the original value of the secured property and I was current on my mortgage. The customer service representative told me that they were notified that my mortgage dropped below 78 % and they were processing the removal of my PMI. On XX/XX/XXXX, my mortgage payment withdrawn from my bank account included a fee for PMI. I called on XX/XX/XXXX to inquire about the reason for it not being removed. The customer service representative told me they would have to send me a letter to cancel PMI. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter in the mail giving me 2 options to remove my PMI. In the letter, they state that my loan is current and I have received 0 30 or 60 day delinquencies. It also states that they acknowledge that my current loan to value is 77.60 %.

Option 1 - Obtain a full appraisal ( appraiser picked by XXXX ) for a fee of {$520.00}. If the full appraisal comes in at {$180000.00}, they will cancel my PMI. 
Option 2 - Send in a principal curtailment of {$0.00} in order to reduce my current LTV to 80 % and pay {$120.00} for a certificate of value ( appraiser picked by XXXX ) Neither of these options were in accordance with the Homeowners Protection Act ( HPA ). The HPA requires a servicer to automatically terminate PMI for residential mortgage transactions on the date that : The principal balance of the mortgage is first scheduled to reach 78 percent of the original value of the secured property ( based solely on the initial amortization schedule in the case of a fixed rate loan or on the amortization schedule then in effect in the case of an adjustable rate loan, irrespective of the outstanding balance ) if the borrower is current. 

My loan is current and below 78 % of the original value. However, nobody at XXXX can explain to me why my PMI has not been cancelled other than to tell me I have to order an appraisal or get a certificate of value. Nobody can explain why they are not operating in accordance with the HPA or why my mortgage is not governed by the HPA.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (VA)

I had a credit card account with XXXX  XXXX XXXX ending in XXXX. In XX/XX/2019 I made a purchase from XXXX using this account. I returned the item to the seller and they promised to refund the total amount owed. I later learned that they did not refund the entire balance leaving an amount of {$4.00}. I did not discover this immediately since XXXX XXXX XXXX enrolled me in paperless statements which I did not authorize. When I found out about the balance I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX to dispute it by that time the interest brought the account total to {$15.00}. They sent me a letter stating that they found the dispute in my favor but they failed to credit me for all of the interest charges accruing despite promising to do so in the letter ( copy attached ). They also erroneously reported my account as late to all credit bureaus for the months of XXXX 2019 and subsequently as a charge off. If this dispute was found in my favor then all of this is in fact erroneous. They have updated the balance to XXXX  with all of the credit bureaus but have not removed the late payments. I made many calls to XXXX  XXXX XXXX to ask them to fix this to no avail. I will note that I have always paid this account on time and I am asking for these errors to be removed. This account should show no late payments for any month and it should be reported as closed by consumer. I am asking that XXXX, Trans Union and XXXX files all be updated. I have disputed this will all of them and included the documents I attached to this complaint proving that this was all in error and yet they continue to report those erroneous late payments. You will also see where I contacted XXXX and they apologized for their error and delay in refunding the {$4.00}.
