Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Monterey Financial Services LLC (NV)

Utilized small loan service XXXX to assist purchasing a puppy with an understanding I would have until XX/XX/2020 to satisfy the amount due. XXXX assigned the loan to Monterey Financial Services. Monterey Financial Services applied an appalling amount of interest to the loan. In my constant calls they were unwilling the allow me to satisfy the account so that they could continue to charge insane and illegal amount of interest daily. Once I finally had satisfied the account, they continue to report me as having a monthly payment and balance due. I have called and again they are unwilling to assist by updating their reporting to the bureaus. I am requesting all interest refunded, and credit reporting updated to reflect as paid in full/satisfied. This reporting continues to negatively impact on my ability to receive credit. This company is engaged in continual predatory lending practices, and are acting maliciously against me. They need to be closed down! Where are consumer protections?

15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet Equifax is reporting this information. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been validated, lets be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. Equifax creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer report are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211. Application For Award Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TN)

I filed bankruptcy in 2016, but did not include my home mortgage. I have continued to make all of the payments on time for more than a year now, but noticed that my credit score has not increased. I called the mortgage company to ask if they were reporting my monthly payments, and was informed that they are not. I was told that unless I call the bankruptcy attorney and have them submit a reaffirmation letter, that they will not report my payment information. I explained to them that I really needed it reported so that my credit score will increase, but they refused. I then contacted the attorney and told her what the mortgage company said. She advised me that I did NOT have to complete a reaffirmation, and that the company was just being difficult. She advised that I call the credit bureaus and have them assist me in persuading the mortgage company to report my monthly ( timely ) payments. I called Consumerfinance.com and was advised to submit a complaint if the mortgage company was not willing to report. I called the mortgage company and asked, once again, if they would report, and was again told no. He said that the reason was because at one time, the company had an issue where one party on the loan wanted the info reported, but the other did not. I explained that this can not possibly happen in my case because my previous wife had passed away, so there would be no one who could possibly complain should they report my payments to the credit bureaus. Again, he refused.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
