Consumer complaint received 07/13/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: Starting around XX/XX/XXXX I entered into a loan modification with XXXX XXXX. I began making trial payments. I was informed by the then relationship manager to ignore the late notices, notices placed on the door of my home, the late fees charged to my account, etc " because those are different departments and all that will be cleared up once the loan is actually modified after the trial period. '' I never received notification that the modification trial period had ended and the loan had been officially modified so I continued making trial payments. Beginning in XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX continued to report that I was 30, 60, 90, and even 120 days delinquent on my mortgage to the credit bureaus through XX/XX/XXXX ; finally showing as current beginning XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX accepted a nominal loan amount from HUD for the amount XXXX indicated I was behind on my mortgage ; of which I had no knowledge of until a recent deed search of my property. I have struggled with XXXX for over 2 years to correct the reporting to my credit. XXXX informed me that they can not locate a signed modification agreement ; indicating that the loan was never modified. Around XX/XX/XXXX I filed a dispute inquiry with XXXX. The result of that dispute is that XXXX reported that the incorrect information showing on my credit report was indeed correct. So I called a dispute inquiry to XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX. I indicated that since XXXX can not find their own documentation supporting that the loan was modified and the delinquencies reported on my credit were hence inaccurate, then XXXX must correct the inaccurate information on my credit. I was informed at that time the dispute would take no more than 10 business days. I received several letters from XXXX 's XXXX XXXX Department and their Research Department indicating that they " are unable to provide you with a response '' and they need more time. Today is the 32nd business day. I called XXXX 's Research Department this afternoon and I was informed that a decision to my dispute can not be made at this time because they are unable to locate the information needed to conclude the dispute. I was also informed that the matter had been escalated to a supervisor in XX/XX/XXXX and that I should allow them " 4 to 5 more business days to locate that information. '' I sold my home at XX/XX/XXXX and the loan has been paid off. I have relocated to another state and am unable to obtain a mortgage loan because of the inaccurate information reported on my credit. I have also been wrongly charged multiple fees and nuisance people showing at my residence since XX/XX/XXXX related to pre-foreclosure, late fees, sheriff service, etc ... .when all along I was, in my own assumption and with the lack of supporting documentation from XXXX , still in the loan modification trial period. I have additional documentation if needed.
