Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have done everything by the book with disputing these accounts. Ive contacted the bank in regards to this matter. They claimed its been resolved. Ive contact the law enforcement agency and filed a report and affidavit. They claim they identity theft report is valid. And lastly, Im contact the credit reporting agencies. XXXX and XXXX have removed the accounts per legal requirement. But for some weird reason Equifax feels Im not following all the steps. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I know the consumer laws and the courts are very lenient with the banks and credit reporting agencies so filing a lawsuit is a waste of energy. Seeing Ive submitted my claim with Equifax for over 6 months, Im at wits end. This is the 6th complaint Ive filed against them and every time I get the same ridiculous response. They make some absurd claim that the documents Ive submitted are not valid. Id like the CFPB to honestly look closely at this case because it seems this is a lack of their legal requirement to process the identity theft report. 

I have filed it with a law enforcement agency. Identitytheft.gov is a federal law enforcement agency. Id like to see this matter handled properly. All this grief of identity theft and not having any access to my credit is creating a ton of emotional and physical distress. Its cause a great deal of strain in my work and personal lives. I literally losing my mind because I have no other recourse

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Truist Bank is punishing me because I refuse to open a bank account with them so that they will allow me to pay my mortgage online. I have paid my mortgage the same way every month for well over a year, via online bill pay through XXXX XXXX  directly to Truist Bank, and I just received an email from Truist Bank that says that I have not paid my mortgage for this month. That is not true and I have the receipts to prove it from XXXX. I'll attach them to this complaint. Truist is just trying to punish me for not opening a bank account with them in order to pay my mortgage. There is no way to contact Truist bank via email to resolve this matter -- only via a XXXX number that will undoubtedly go unanswered and I will not have written proof of anything that was said during a call. This better not hit my credit, and this is happening often enough that I consider it harassment at this point.

I appreciate your consideration of my request. If needed, I am willing to provide any supporting documentation to validate the circumstances that led to the late payments.

Complaint narrative:
I write to express my profound dissatisfaction with the inadequate validation of certain items on my credit report. Upon meticulous review, it is evident that the provided information is insufficient to validate the associated debts. The following accounts are particularly troubling, as the details provided fall short of the necessary standards for proper validation : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. It is noteworthy that the other XXXX credit bureaus have already removed these accounts from their records after acknowledging an error. I find it perplexing that you claim to have verified this information while the others have promptly corrected their records. Your non-compliance with these rectifications is not only baffling but raises concerns about your adherence to the law. I withhold my consent for electronic communication and explicitly request that all responses be conveyed in written form through the United States Postal Service ( XXXX ). The bankruptcy which is being reported to my credit report is inaccurate. The case which youre reporting as valid & accurate is actually incorrect. I never had a case tried or seen. There was NEVER A JUDGMENT. No judgment means there was never a case. A judge never saw a case so how is XXXX being reported. Please see this account is removed from my file at once. If you continue to report this information without truly verifying the information I will be seeking a legal remedy. Ive already discussed this matter with my attorney & he will draw up the federal case within 30 days of this letter if its not removed. XXXX XXXX CT CA XXXX XXXX Date Filed : XXXX.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
Loan Cares website does not allow the customer to upload documents nor does it give any confirmation ticket numbers to the customer email to confirm documents have been submitted to the website. Loan Care does not provide an email to send documents to them even when I advised them that the documents will not upload to the Loan Care website. 

I have attempted to upload documents for a tax problem I am having, but either I get error messages or I never get any confirmation with a ticket number sent to my email that the documents have been submitted to the Loan Care website. 

I uploaded documents on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/2024 and XXXX XX/XX/2024 and I do not have email confirmation of the document uploads nor does the website produce a confirmation number if you manage to submit the documents. 

The customer is unable to access any history of document submission on the Loan Care website so there is no record at all of the documents that have been submitted to Loan Care or any communication about the problems the customer has with their mortgage loan.

In addition, if you manage SOMEHOW to submit documents to the Loan Care website, you can only send one communication per day. That means if you have a tax and an insurance issue, you have to upload the documents to the Loan Care website you have to spend two days doing it and you do not get any email confirmation they have it.

This makes it impossible to communicate with Loan Care to fix critical problems with my loan. This has caused an incorrect {$600.00} increase in my monthly mortgage payment that I do not owe due to Loan Cares error and this problem has been going on now for over two months and

Loan Care has not fixed it. I have a screen shot of the docum
ents I attempted to upload to Loan Care before I pressed the " submit '' button, but I have no ticket numbers for the three submissions I made on the Loan Care website.

Not having any record about the problems I report to Loan Care or upload to the Loan Care website is now a violation of Deceptive Trade Practices Act ( DTPA ). Not fixing the incorrect loan balance and monthly mortgage payment on all three of my credit reports is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).
