Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This is a follow up of Complaint XXXX. 

XXXX had updated XXXX the balance to XXXX, thanks to you. 

But they have not changed the payment history for all those invalid lates that they are obviously guilty of placing. We all know payment history is 35 % of a consumer 's credit score, those lates from XXXX Account number # XXXX, is still affecting my credit profile in a negative way today. Experian also saying my paid of car note is charged off, which obviously incorrect ( i will repost the evidence ). XXXX went ahead and deleted the account. 

I thought would beneficial for me in the long run to pay of my autos to have great comparable car credit. XXXX XXXX and Experian made this a bad experience due to the fact that they FAILED AT DOING THEIR JOBS. We have our lives to live, we can't be worrying about the credit bureaus not doing their jobs, its Emotional damaging. 

I would rather they remove this account so i don't suffer anymore damages.

Complaint narrative:
According to 15 USC 1692e ( 3 ), a debt collector, in collecting a debt, may not use any false, deceptive or misleading representation i.e. a debt collector may not falsely represent or imply that he or she is an attorney or that communication is from an attorney.

I hereby put your firm notice that it has violated the provisions of the above-mentioned section.

Further, as per the judgment made in the case of George W Heintz V. Darlene Jenkins, the provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act applies to attorneys who " regularly '' engage in consumer-debt collection activity, even when that activity consists of litigation. Therefore, as per the judgment mentioned herein, your firm is liable as a debt collector.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Credit report shows inaccurate information of debt with incorrect addresses and dates. I have previously asked for verification of debt to which company only showed what they have on file which did not prove debt was mine or that the debt was owed. Even though the debt is over the statute of limitations, they continue to update and report debt to all three bureaus. Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act ( FTC Act ) prohibits unfair methods of competition in or affecting commerce. I bring this up because the company has sent multiple emails stating the debt is on a " prelegal track '' which is a clear indication that they were prepared to sue when they can not due to statute of limitations. I request for this to be deleted off of my credit report on all three bureaus due to these facts.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/ Roundpoiint mortgage sent me a Mortgage billing statement that stated I had " Past Due Payment '' in the amount of {$2900.00}. The payment was in fact not past due and Roundpoint had according to the terms of my loan had an automatic payment established for XXXX. The amount was removed from my account and was never late according to the terms of my mortgage. Roundpoint took over servicing my mortgage on XXXX. I have attempted to call Roundpoint and even after listening to a 3.5 minute recording there is no option to speak to anyone. The only options provided are " get you loan number, make a payment, hear this message again ''. If they are reporting this as late then it will materially impact me. In addition, sending late notices and threatening statements when the mortgage is and ALWAYS has been in good standing and having no way to speak to them is wrong.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several erroneous inquiries that appear on my credit report. After reviewing my credit report, I noticed that there are multiple inquiries that were made without my permission or knowledge, and which are negatively impacting my credit score. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, any inquiry made on my credit report without my permission is considered unauthorized and must be removed. I request that you investigate these inquiries and remove them from my credit report as soon as possible. 

I have included a copy of my credit report highlighting the unauthorized inquiries for your reference. In addition, I have not authorized any new credit accounts or inquiries recently, and I have not applied for any new loans or credit cards that would result in these inquiries. 

I believe that the presence of these erroneous inquiries on my credit report is unfair and is negatively affecting my credit score. Therefore, I request that you remove them immediately and notify me in writing of your findings. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please let me know if you require any additional information or documentation to resolve this dispute.
