Complaint: On XXXX XXXX 2015, I submitted a dispute sheet to Experian with several items of disputes.

They furthermore claimed that they will not be initiating any further disputes based upon what they have determined as suspicious correspondence in regards to my initial disputes. The Experian letter disclosed a phone number to discuss the problem with a representative. I called Experian and spoke with a representative. This person echoed the verbiage in the letter that was sent to me and would not remove the red flag, thus denying me investigation of my disputes. The representative insisted that I give the dispute information over the phone. I refused to do so because I want a paper trail of my disputes. Subsequently, before I received the denial letter from the 1st disputes, I sent a 2nd dispute sheet on XXXX XXXX, 2015. According to Experian, any subsequent disputes will be discarded.

Consumer complaint received 07-12-2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (IL).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: In XXXX of XXXX we were referred to XXXX XXXX at Wells Fargo Bank for help applying for a home mortgage. We explained that we have a foreclosure in XXXX and credit card debt. XXXX assured we were eligible for a mortgage, emailed a pre-approval letter and encouraged us to begin looking for a home. We found a XXXX home in XXXX XXXX of XXXX, which we bide on and our offer was excepted. We contacted our attorney and arranged for a home inspection. At the time we lived in a rental in XXXX so I flew to Il to see the home before turning over {$1000.00} in earnest money. We paid XXXX for the home inspection and emailed copies to Wells Fargo and our attorney in XXXX. We hoped to close in late XXXX or early XXXX as our lease would end XXXX the XXXX. We checked in with XXXX XXXX weekly and were assured that everything was fine, but at the end of XXXX were told that the underwriters had rejected out application. The foreclosure had to be three years old for us to be eligible for a home mortgage. I question why we were not informed of this from the beginning. We were devastated, our lease was almost up, we had no where to go and our money was tied up in escrow. We requested our money be returned and the real estate agent informed us that she need a formal letter of rejection from Wells Fargo which I requested. XXXX informed me that the letter had to come from the corporate office and had no idea how long it would take to get it. I waited two weeks and called the corporate office my self. The response was quick, the manager called me back the same day. They told me no one had requested a rejection letter on our behalf from XXXX. The letter came the next day and I had my escrow money by the end of the week. I want to know why mortgage agents are being allowed to give out false information. I would like to be reimbursed for the cost of the home inspection ( XXXX ) and travel to XXXX ( XXXX ) to look at home Wells Fargo had no intention of giving us a mortgage for. I understand nothing can be done to pay for the mental anguish this process has cost us but perhaps can learn from our experience.
