Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Complaint: Experian lists an incorrect address on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, WA XXXX. Experian claims I must contact the creditor who provided the information, but the creditor is not listed, and Experian will not provide me with the creditor 's contact information. Furthermore, any account/creditor associated with the above listed address has been opened fraudulently. 

I 'm XXXX and I can not contact Experian via telephone. They do not respond to my letters via mail. They do not respond to accommodation/modification requests to communicate with me in an effective manner. 

This is Experian 's response : " Please note that we store name, address and telephone number information as it is sent to us by your credit grantor or from information contained in public records. We are unable to remove accurate information. If you believe a name or address in your credit report is inaccurate, you may want to contact the source of the information directly.

Consumer complaint received 11-02-2015 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (KY).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: I am divorced from XXXX XXXX XXXX as recorded on XXXX XXXX, 2013 in the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX As part of my divorce decree, my ex-wife was deemed entirely responsible for a loan we jointly entered into when married. This loan is with XXXX XXXX Bank and was a loan used to improve a house of which she has current ownership. Even though the payments are less than {$200.00} a month, she has not made them in a timely fashion. I realize that my name is still on the bank records for this loan, but my decree shows that this responsibility is hers and hers alone. The negative impact her continuing poor financial management is having on my credit score is unreasonable. I respectfully request that this entry is removed from my credit score. 
As a second item, I have worked quite hard to satisfy all outstanding debts to the creditors at XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX. These debts are still showing as unsatisfied ; this is simply not true. Please correct these errors. 
Finally, I feel wrongly penalized for the credit inquiries I have had to request in pursuit of rehabbing my credit after divorce from my financially irresponsible ex-wife. How is a man who has served his country supposed to recover from the financial devastation wreaked by the person at home who was trusted to manage those finances if not by getting records and assessing damage? Please, is there any way to remove the negative rating these inquiries give me?

Consumer complaint received 12-08-2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with ERC (NC).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: I complained to the CFPB regarding the Enhanced Recovery Corporation ( a collection agency ) and XXXX ( a cellphone company ) in XXXX of XXXX ( see case # XXXX ), because Enhanced Recovery was trying to collect a debt ( on behalf of XXXX XXXX that did not belong to me. In fact, the debt holder 's address and date of birth were different from mine ... the debt holder only shared my first and last name. Thankfully, this case was resolved successfully in XXXX of XXXX, with Enhanced Recovery admitting that my name was flagged due to " matching names '' and that I was not the debt holder ( see the response of Enhanced Recovery at that time ). Because the collection was removed from my credit accounts in XXXX of XXXX, I thought the case was over. However, I received a letter from ERC on XXXX XXXX, XXXX about another XXXX debt for another person who shared my first and last name, but lives in XXXX, GA and who established a debt with XXXX in XXXX XXXX. ERC also states that they do not have a current date of birth or social security number for this debt holder. I have never lived outside of the state of NC, and do not have an account with XXXX. To be clear, ERC is again trying to collect money from me for the debt account of someone who shares my first and last name, but nothing else ( i.e., ERC has different demographic information and no SS number for this person ).

Consumer complaint received 07-10-2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with PNC Bank N.A. (OH).
Issue: Settlement process and costs

Complaint: I obtained a mortgage through PNC bank. There are XXXX things that happened during the course of the mortgage process, XXXX is questionable, and the other is my specific complaint. The first packet of contract documentation had my interest rate set at 4.875 % instead of the 4.5 % that we agreed upon. They told me that it was a computer error where the .375 % was automatically added onto the original 4.5 %. My loan officer told me that he sent me an email stating there was an error, but I never received any communication to that effect. Had I not read the contract before signing, the 4.875 % would have stayed ( I am a XXXX home buyer ). The week prior to my closing date PNC 's appraiser said made a note about a front step of my house being a potential stepping hazard. The underwriter then delayed the closing by requiring the seller to remedy the issue. This pushed the closing date back a week. The original closing date was XXXX XXXX. A contractor fixed the problem on XXXX XXXX and the house was reappraised and approved on XX/XX/XXXX. The new closing date was XXXX XXXX. After XXXX on Thursday XXXX XXXX, I received a call from my loan officer stating that he had just sent me the final breakdown of costs for the closing via email and that he wanted to review it with me. Upon reviewing the documentation, he tells me that the bank charged me {$1500.00} for an extension of the interest rate that allegedly expired XXXX XXXX. I asked the bank how long the rate was locked in and they said XXXX days. I did not sign a contract with them until XXXX XXXX, which would have locked it in until XXXX XXXX. My main contention is that I was not told of the interest rate expiration or disclosed of the substantial fee until the call the night before the closing. I was moving into town from XXXX hours away and felt coerced into accepting the fee.

Consumer complaint received 06-09-2017 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Installment loan) with MARINER FINANCE, LLC (LA).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: I had a personal loan with this company. When I applied for the loan, I opted to purchase the XXXX insurance. In XXXX, I was out on medical leave and made a claim with the XXXX insurance. I submitted the required paperwork from my doctor so that the XXXX insurance company could make the monthly payments until I was discharged from my physician and returned to work. Every few months, I was required to submit an updated physician 's statement in order to keep the claim open and so that the payments would be made to the loan company, which I did. In XX/XX/XXXX, apparently the XXXX  insurance company submitted the monthly payment to the loan company late. The loan company has reported to the credit bureaus a 30-day late payment. When this appeared on my credit reports, I called the loan company and the manager, XXXX, informed me that he would have this removed since the payments were being made by the insurance company and it is beyond my control. XXXX was successful in having this removed from my XXXX  report ; however, it was not removed from my XXXX and XXXX credit reports. I contacted the loan company again and was told that XXXX was no longer employed with the company. I explained the situation to XXXX and she stated that there was nothing they could do and that I should submit a dispute to the credit bureaus in order to have the late payment removed. I have disputed this item multiple times and it is still on my credit reports.

Consumer complaint received 05/31/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (VA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: We could not maintain employment in XXXX ( now in XXXX ) and could not make the payments on our house. We sought help from every resource available, HARP, HUD, PFS and relators among others. We attempted to execute a short sale on 3 different occasions and Chase bank deferred in each instance until the buyer could wait no longer. We contacted Chase several times regarding each of these contracts of sale but they would not respond. We also contacted Chase and asked them to supply the original documents to illustrate their proof of ownership and again they did not respond ; as we thought that perhaps that might be the reason they did n't process or acknowledge the contracts of sale. We completed the required change of address with the U. S. Postal Service and all mail was forwarded to our XXXX address. We also provided the same information directly to Chase. The contracts of sale were also constructed to cover our delinquency of community association dues. 

The short story is that Chase foreclosed on the property via a third party and subsequently purchased the property themselves via the same. Although the transaction history they supplied in the foreclosure documents indicated documents were mailed informing us of the auction and foreclosure, they were never received. The only document we received was the final foreclosure document, followed by a subpoena to address the delinquent community association dues ; as these were not addressed by Chase. Also, Chase 's final purchase price was well below any of the contracts of sale provided to Chase. 

We can not afford to pay the almost {$3000.00} of delinquent community association dues. We feel this was a deliberate action by Chase to ignore the contracts of sale and then purchase the property leaving us with the fallout. Our opinion is that this does not even pass the smell test. As our court date is about a month away, we would very much appreciate your immediate assistance so as to not incur additional cost. Thank you so very much for your assistance in this matter.

Consumer complaint received 01/25/2017 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA (AL).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: My daughter 's car was repossessed by Kia Motor Finance. I was going to pay to get the car out of impound and refinance the car in my name. Kia told me that once the payment to the impound yard posted they could give me a payoff amount. On XX/XX/2017 I received a payoff amount and that amount was good through XX/XX/2017 with a per diem amount of XXXX. I mailed a check for that amount on XX/XX/2017. On XX/XX/2017 the bank notified me that they had not received the Title for the vehicle from Kia Motor Finance. I called Kia and spent over 1 hour on the phone with XXXX different people who all told me the same thing. After Kia gave me the payoff amount, the next day they added a fee for repossessing the vehicle and now I owed a balance of XXXX dollars and unless I paid that balance they would not release the Title. This amounts to extortion. They knew that the vehicle was in repossession, I asked for a payoff amount, and I paid the amount that they told me to pay. Now they will not release my title unless I pay another XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 05-09-2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (LA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: Bank of America failed to make Verbally full disclosure its Loan Modification practices and procedures. The issue concerning negative credit reporting was never Verbally discussed or disclosed, however, it is in the contract. This practice of not Verbally disclosing all of the information concerning their Loan Modification practices and procedures is deceptive and fraudulant. It is never fully Verbally explained that during their Loan Modification process the post mortgage payment is protected from negative credit reporting but the pre-mortgage payment is not. Therefore, their not Verbally communicating all aspects of their Loan Modification process is fraudulent and deceptive. I am asking a full investigation into Bank of America 's Loan Modification practices and procedures. From XXXX to XXXX I have been a participated in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank of America loan modifications and at no time was it ever explained to me Verbally, the negative aspects of their process. My argument is not in the paperwork that bears my signature but in the fact that negative credit reporting of the pre-loan modification mortgage payment and the post loan modification mortgage payment was never discussed. I know that I should have read the contract through, but since negative credit reporting was never ever explained to me as being a part of their loan modification process ; all of the documents that I signed and had witnessed and notarized was done in " good faith ''. I am asking that the FHA intervene and that the scripts that are being used by the agents and representatives of Bank of America be seized and investigated so that no one else will be deceived about every aspect of their loan modification process. I am attaching their final resolution as well as my XXXX credit reports ; with particular note to their " Summary of our research '' section of their letter of explanation ; where they stand by their decision not agree with my request for credit restoration and credit score worthiness.
