Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity. 
Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. 
C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards.

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. 

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards. 

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB XXXX FTC and my Attorney General.

The dispute item do not belong to me. XXXX attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove the file. 
XXXX XXXX BANK XXXX XXXX Balance : {$27000.00} ; If the credit bureaus feel there is a possibility the account belongs to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each item is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If the credit bureaus do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney.

In XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment to reach an agreed upon settlement of a total of XXXX paid towards the debt, and they informed me that would be considered settled in full for less than the amount due. They sent me a letter saying as such and I thought the issue was resolved. Shortly thereafter, I received numberous calls and letters from a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX  stating they were the legal collector on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX, that they had been hired by XXXX XXXX directly to collect on the debt, that no payments have been made, and my debt was still outstanding. I sent them documentation from XXXX XXXX, they made to effort to correct the error. Following that I contact quick cash directly, who informed me that they have no association with wakefeild and associates in any way, and that they had sent the account to XXXX. I filed a complaint, and forgot about the issues until recently. in XX/XX/XXXX, I was trying to improve my credit and get a loan from a local institution and they asked that I get a release from Wakefield. having forgotten about the situation I called them and inquired about the debt, and was reminded of this.

I paid my debt, I don't want to pay it again to a fraudulent company that refuses to listen to reason. Wakefield and associates is either lying out right, or working off of very outdated and incomplete information, and has damaged my credit for the past 5 years as a result. I need help!

I have called for the past two weeks to have them fax a document over to VA DMV with the notice that my lien has been paid in full and to release the title so that I can transfer it over to the new buyer. I have explained to 53rd that I do not need the actual title and just a lien release statement. To this day they have still refused to fax anything over. They have also told me on several occasions they are faxing the docuemtnation over. Each time this has happened they have not actually faxed anything to DMV. I have requested to speak with a supervisor, but only been told no one can come to the phone to help me out and just left on hold. 

The letter that was sent to DMV was a notice acknowledging they have received my wire transfer and the loan has been paid off. However it did not include my VIN # or the vehicle. They keep telling me the transfer is still being processed and I must wait 10 full business days before my lien is released.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Account status
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (AZ)

We have had our mortgage with Freedom Mortgage since XX/XX/2007. Sometime early on they began using a service company called XXXX. We did not send any payments to them as we did not understand what this is all about. Each and every single, on time payment has been made to Freedom Mortgage also indicated for what month and year the payment was made. They then advised us they took it back from the service company and gave the mortgage loan a different number. We have continued and have always made the mortgage payments on time and accurate. However, on a consistent basis they continue to send us a huge balance stating the payment was not received or is late. And then finally after speaking to several agents, a revelation came to me. This agent had said that the Loan service company is getting the payments and depositing them into their account that is XXXX as Freedom Mortgage uses XXXX. That it will take a long time to straighten out. The mistake is on their part and not on ours however they continue to hurt and report negative to the XXXX credit bureaus not allowing us to refinance with a different bank or mortgage company at a far lesser interest rate : That is why it is not important to them as with Freedom Mortgage we are at a 6.75 % interest rate. Oh if only you knew how exhausting this was. We have seen a lawyer, we have sent several letters to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, XXXX and the Federal Trade Commission. Please, Please I am begging, pleading, praying and believing you can help us.

My most recent mortgage statement reflects a {$5.00} charge on XX/XX/XXXX for a Payoff Rush Handling Fee. I did not request a payoff quote on XX/XX/XXXX or any other day. I called the customer service number on my statement. The representative from the services said the request came through their automated system for someone with a phone number with area code XXXX. That number is in XXXX, Ohio and I am in XXXX  Michigan. The representative told me that she could not remove it and that I should call the phone number of that person and ask them to give me {$5.00}. This is ridiculous that a 3rd party can request a loan payoff and have it charged to my account and the servicer claims that it can not be removed

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

Allow me this opportunity to thank you, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) for protecting our consumer rights against these dirty, unethical and almost illegal credit reporting agencies, debt collectors, lenders and creditors. You are contributing nicely to protect us the consumers from the above-mentioned nasty and harassing entities. I was very upset and incensed when I learned that the Trump team reduced funding for the CFPB. I suppose Trump and his team should sit down and re-consider what they have done and reverse their bad decision. 

I am writing to you regarding a list of inquiries that has no business being on my credit profiles. I wrote to XXXX and Transunion and mailed the letters out by certified mail with return receipt requesting a copy of my application-for-credit with my signature on it. No results so far from Transunion or XXXX. They could not even care enough to send me a response. This is a gross violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. These corrupt credit reporting agencies are in bed with the greedy creditors and lenders ; they feed of each other. 

Please order Transunion and XXXX to delete the inquiries as they are interfering with my ability to obtain credit and move on with my life. 

Thank you very much CFPB.

My account with Capital One was marked as delinquent 30 days in XX/XX/2022. In XX/XX/2022 I deposited a 30 day payoff for the full amount of the account ( {$850.00} ). 
Capital one then charged a {$2.00} interest charge to the account. Still, I can not figure out the math on a {$2.00} interest charge with my account APR ( 25.49 % ) from either the existing balance ( {$780.00} ) or the charges in XXXX ( {$70.00} ). The company then charged a late fee in XXXX of {$2.00}. I did not receive notification of either of these charges. In XXXX my account was marked as 30 days late on my credit report. The moment I got THAT notification from XXXX I paid it in full. I was XXXX with the military during this time ( XXXX ). I have never missed any payments on any account for any revolving credit. I have made every single payment on time since. I made a dispute through all major credit bureaus in XX/XX/2022 and nothing has changed. I have also called Capital One in XX/XX/2022 and received acknowledgement from the supervisor I spoke to that these charges were incorrect and told that he could do nothing to fix it. The supervisor just apologized, said he would try to send the issue further up, but I have yet to get a response or see a change.
