Company: MEGASTAR FINANCIAL CORP (CA)

To begin with I am a senior citizen I am XXXX years old .At the end or about the end of XXXX XXXX I contacted XXXX XXXX at Megastar financial. I gave this gentleman all the information he requested i.e. IRS forms, bank statements, copies of my checks from my job and he sent them to his underwriter ... he came back telling the realtor and me that there are no red flags and I have no reason to not sell my home and I can look for a home between XXXX and XXXX. This was five months ago my home did not sell until XXXX XXXX. My current Realtor was also given the go ahead to find a home for {$380000.00} I am looking in XXXX, California ... we looked at in at least 15 to 20 homes I found one about XXXX XXXX for {$380000.00}, I still have the the escrow papers, and put down my {$3000.00} earnest money. The house was an escrow for about a week or so and then XXXX came back and said I 'm sorry you ca n't get the home because the taxes are too high so I Lost the house. Then XXXX tells my realtor and I that he has to do over the numbers again ... then he gave me a quote of XXXX to buy a house ... XXXX you ca n't buy a house at XXXX in XXXX that is a {$50000.00} difference .... if I had known this I would not have sold my house so he virtually left me homeless because he did not tell me in XXXX what the actual price of the home would be I could buy!!!!!! he waited until after my home was sold and I had no place to go!!! Again I had given him All the information he requested by XXXX and it went through his underwriters and he still came back with a quote of XXXX ... .he waited until after my house was sold then he told me you ca n't buy the house I told you you could. XXXX XXXX left me homeless and I have my son XXXX dogs XXXX cats and a bird a bunny and a snake so he 's leaving my animals homeless as well. He 's causing grave emotional, mental, and financial abuse to myself and my son and animal abuse to my animals because we are homeless right now. This is also possibly senior abuse since I am almost XXXX. My house is sold and I have to move out on the XXXX I have no place to go and I and I have not enough money to buy a home because XXXX did not do his job correctly he lied to me and the Realtor 's for 5 months ... Iwould not have sold my home if I knew all this information in XXXX so for five months myself, my son, and the Realtor 's ( more than one three realtors ) were under the God-given impression that I could buy a home for {$380000.00} .and after my home was sold he changed his tune ... ... .I am left homeless. I would like Megastar financial to finance the loan for a {$380000.00} home just as they said XXXX months earlier before I sold my house instead of waiting till after my house was sold and leaving my son my animals and myself homeless

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of account XXXX on my credit reports, which is in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

It has come to my attention that both XXXX and Experian are reporting conflicting information regarding the " date last active '' for this account. XXXX is reporting the date last active as XXXX, while Experian is reporting it as XXXX. This discrepancy not only undermines the credibility of the information but also violates my consumer right to have a fair and accurate credit report. 

Furthermore, I must highlight that XXXX has already deleted this account from my credit report due to my information being compromised in the XXXX data breach and the account not being verified. Therefore, the inclusion of this account by XXXX and Experian is entirely unjustified and constitutes false reporting. 

Additionally, I would like to emphasize that this account is uncollectible under the statute of limitations, which is 4 years in the state of Texas. As such, its continued presence on my credit report is not only erroneous but also damaging to my creditworthiness and financial reputation. 

I have previously requested your method of verification, and you have failed to comply with this request, thereby further violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). 

Should you persist in your non-compliance and failure to rectify this situation promptly, please be advised that I am prepared to take legal action to seek relief and monetary damages under FCRA Sections 616 and 617. I am diligently documenting all communications and actions taken in this matter for this purpose. 

I hereby demand the immediate removal of account XXXX from my credit reports maintained by XXXX and Experian. I expect confirmation of this action within 7-10 days.

You say that your company has reinvestigated these accounts and verified them as being accurate but it is obvious that you have verified nothing. All you have done is parroted information given to you by other sources and shifted the burden back to me to prove that the reported items on the accounts listed below are not valid which is clearly in violation of 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ).

Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verfied. The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA.

I have provided relevant information about my Identity Theft Report. FCRA 605B ( b ), 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( b ). Such notification by a CRA triggers two obligations for the furnisher. First, under FCRA section 623 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( A ), you must not allowed the furnisher may not continue to report that information to any CRA. FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( A ), 15 U.S.C.

XX/XX/XXXX, my son ( a XXXX XXXXt at XXXX ) made two purchases ( gas ) using the TD bank credit card I gave him. The bills are mailed to me at my home in XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I always pay them on time. However, I spend the time from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX in XXXX. I fill out a change of address form with the US Postal Service and all my bills are forwarded to me. For reasons I can not fathom, TD Bank does not allow their bills to be forwarded. I got my bills from XXXX, etc but nothing from TD Bank. In XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX I got a call from a TD Bank rep who was a bill collector, telling me I was 90 days delinquent in paying my bill. I told her I had never gotten a bill, nor any notice that I was delinquent. She checked and said the bills had been returned to TD Bank as undeliverable. I told her that was impossible, my mail is forwarded to my XXXX address, and I had been receiving all my bills ( credit card, insurance, electric, etc. ) She said TD Bank does not allow their bills to be forwarded " to guard against fraud ''. I asked how much had been charged to the account in puchases, and she said {$71.00}, which I paid immediately. But she said I owed late payment fees and interest charges. I asked them to waive those fees, as the reason I was late was their refusal to allow the bill to be forwarded. They refuse. The late fees and penalties now exceed {$130.00} ( with interest the amount they claim I now owe is {$130.00}. I have called at least three times but they refuse to waive the penalties and interest. I am now getting threatening letters and phone calls ( they say they will report me to a credit bureau ). it is absurd for them to CAUSE me to be late by preventing my bill from being forwarded, and then seek to collect penalty fees that dwarf any interest charges. And I paid the purchases in full! Please help me. The bank is totally unresponsive and is demanding I pay them all these penalty fees.

Only to be told it can take up to  five  business days to process the card. However during that interim they charge an additional {$10.00} dollars per day to the monthly balance over the amount agreed in the contract. Secondly, the person I spoke with stated my card was pending and I was given a confrontation number for my payment not given any indication my payment was declined.   However when I check my bank and call back the previous day they informed me my card was declined yet I have no notification from  Montery  or any pending charge or notification from my bank.  <P/> During the second month using the same card they accepted earlier they refuse to charge the account for the amount due. This makes the accout become delinquent. Then they proceed to charge an amount of {$10.00} per day for a late fee plus another {$10.00} per fee for declining my previously approved payment method. I have contacted them attempting to pay yet they still do n't process my payment and claim it is late. Can you help me?
