Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Whenever you file a claim it seems as if nothing gets resolved because instead of helping the consumers, it seems that the companies just give whatever kind of answer they want and the case is closed in which it should not be. I have filed several complaints against credit agencies and the answer does n't resolve anything or has nothing to do with the compalint and yet my complaint is closed without addressing the issues or violations that the credit bureaus have violated. I have disputed my information on my credit report either by mail or on the phone and have requested method of verification in writing as to how this information was verified and any documentation associated pertaining to the accounts in disputes. I have also tried to dispute inquiries on my credit report and have had no success in trying to get this information deleted as these inquires were not initiated by me or said companies did not have my permission to pull my credit.. I have disputed public records and I have asked how this information was verified and validated and was told that the courts send this information over to them. This information is not correct as the courts have said they do not give out any information on anyone and the information the credit bureaus are telling is incorrect. I have tried repeatedly to get this information resolved and yet the credit reporting agencies are not doing through investigations and in relation to disputes but rather using an electronic methods to receive and validate information rather than physical documents or a real investigation to limit the damage to one 's credit reports. The representatives from the credit agencies state that they receive public records by using your name and social security number and that 's how they verify the disputes in regards to public records. Anyone can access public records and that does n't mean the information is correct or there are n't errors in the information that is contained in the records. They are not doing their job in verifying and validating information contained in my credit report but rather damage it in regards to negative information that they refuse to investigate or remove. These credit reporting agencies have no way for you to dispute inquiries that you did not authorize or recognize but yet they report this as accurate information and it remains on there for two years.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: ADVISORS MORTGAGE GROUP, LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I found the house I wanted on or around XX/XX/XXXX. Signed contracts to close XX/XX/XXXX. For a FHA 203 ( k ) loan. XXXX XXXX of Advisors mortgage group LLc was my mortgage officer. He told me that he could have everything ready in 60 days, that is why we set the date to XX/XX/XXXX. Within those 60 day I was to get the house inspected ( on my choosing ) and get a contractors estimate. In order for me to have the house inspecected I had to have the OK from HUD and turn the utilities on. Between the inspection, turning utilities on, and getting the ok from HUD it took about 2 weeks. After that I was to get a contractors estimate. The first contractor took a whil and I decided against him. The second XXXX was great and we decided to go with him. This whole process took ablit 40 days. Which would leave XXXX 20 days to finish the loan. Only problem is, he never started the loan itself. He did n't even have the application started. Now moving forward he said he. Needed another 60 days to do the loan. Which was {$370.00} for each 15 day extension. Coming down to the end of the process. He informs me I have to pay for another FHA inspection ( {$800.00} ) and an appraisal of the home ( completed value ) ( {$400.00} ). All of which I believe advisors should have paid for. The appraisal took a while to get in, and I was waiting on the value of the home to decide if I wanted to. Change the bathroom to add more value to it. After The appraisal came in I decided to ask XXXX if I could add {$10000.00} worth of work to the home he said that would be no problem. I added the work and finalizing contracts were to be signed. XXXX also faild to gather my employment history completely until the last minute they sent my employer a worksheet to fill out. Now the loan is suspended and I can not show sufficient funds in my account because I have been paying for all of these extensions ; while trying to pay my own rent and bills. I talked to the heads of ADVISORS MORTGAGE rehabilitation department and they also told me my qualifications were great and I should have no problems ( XXXX XXXX ). All of a sudden I have to make changes to the repairs I was told I could do. While being expected to pay for another extension. I knew buying my first house would not be a easy task, but this has been one of the worst experiences of my life. The stress and frustration that I have experienced from people who were supposed to be there to guide me and help me through this experience was the worst display of professionalism I have ever seen.

Complaint narrative:
Called Transunion on XXXX XXXX, 2017 and talked to the XXXX, XXXX XXXX. I told him that there are credit inquiries on my report that were re-added to my report. I know that Transunion had a computer problem, but they were removed by their company. I told him that I was aware of the 2 separate " glitches '' that occurred with Transunion that removed them. I told him that I was NOT notified within 5 days prior to then being re-added to my credit report. He told me that I was not affected by their glitches and he would not remove them from my report. I explained that these inquiries are adding a hardship and that I feel my rights were violated. I have been victimized by Transunion for a mistake that THEY made. I am asking for your help to make Transunion delete these inquiries permanently from my Transunion credit report ( as a violation took place when they illegally re-added them ).

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
When I was in medical school, according to the documents that have been sent to me, I took a loan ( 3 total ) out with " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, '' which I am given to understand has been shut down by the federal government. I have been sent by two different servicers XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and AES (  American education servicers ) bills for a company alternately called XXXX or XXXX. When I question either XXXX, AES, or XXXX about offering me a chain of title or any other proof that they or XXXX ( which I believe went bankrupt in 2008 ) own a debt from me, I am told to ask the servicer, if I ask the service, I am told to ask the alleged owner of the debt. I have been paying on these loans for years now and they are getting larger. I can easily refinance, however, I do n't want to refinance a debit I do no owe. I am a physician, and along with the federal government loans I have ( XXXX ) I pay approximately 5K/month in loan payments. I asked AES to please apply additional payments I made to my principal, and was told that they would only put me in paid ahead status. I do n't mind paying or settling which someone if I truly owe them money, but as far I I can see, there are three ( I do n't know why there are two for the same year ) applications that have been provided to me, and my wife, XXXX XXXX, whom they refuse to release from the obligation as cosigner, to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have nothing that says I owe anything to XXXX nor to XXXX, who per the XXXX XXXX is owned by the same people, as are some of the servicer. I am paying more than 10 percent interest on the loan that XXXX claims they own. They are also both refusing to send me a payoff letter if I do owe the debt, because I will refinance immediately -- I have good credit and good income. I was actually told yesterday that the stories in the XXXX XXXX were " fake news '' and that I would have to default before anyone would negotiate with me, and that if I defaulted they would " take my property '' or " wages '' or " tax return '' ( I am self employed ). Which I consider to be a treat made simply because I asked questions.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
FDCPA 807 ( 8 ) This is a law the companies are required to contact the credit bureaus on my behalf, and to make sure they add a sentence to my credit report within 30 days that says I have disputed the negative item in question. By law, they must do it within 30 days and they will be liable to me for damages of up to {$1000.00} per occurrence. I have proof that XXXX XXXX did not get in touch with Credit Bureaus within 30 days that I had disputed a negative item that they provided on my credit file. Experian knows they should have deleted this entry after I had contacted them about this negative item on my report. They also had 30 days to provide the statement that I, the consumer had disputed this negative item to them as well. The problem is that Experian is still trying to re-investigate this situation when they know they should delete the item from my credit report because XXXX XXXX has broken the FDCPA law. This dispute was reported in the month of XXXX 2017 and now it is XX/XX/XXXX but in XX/XX/XXXX is when Experian wants to provide the statement that I disputed this negative item on my report. It 's too late to provide this statement because it 's been after the 30 days time frame. They do n't need to re-investigate anything, just remove the negative from my credit report file. The XXXX XXXX and XXXX have removed this negative it from my credit report because of the 30 days time frame. I have proof that both Experian and XXXX XXXX XXXX have broken the FDCPA law.
