Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my Consumer Reports, I discovered some instances of late payments on an account for which I have always maintained timely payments. Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in accurately reporting consumer information. It is imperative that this information be reported with utmost accuracy. I have never missed a payment on the following account : XXXX XXXX XXXX / XXXX XXXX. XX/XX/year>, I request a thorough investigation into these discrepancies and urge you to provide evidence, such as statements, demonstrating the lateness of these payments. If unable to furnish such proof, I demand that these payments be promptly updated to reflect their true status as on-time, as I have consistently upheld my payment obligations without delay.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof.

I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Company: NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP INC

Complaint narrative:
Flagstar Mortgage has fraudulently managed my HELOC. They set up my account so that I was unable to make payments online. And despite the fact that I had called them many times and had set up my account for auto-draft, and despite the fact that they would claim on the phone that my account was current and up-to-date, sometimes even the next day I would get a warning that my account payment was overdue. 

I have been calling and calling and contacting their fraud department and even the highest office I can ( where she confirmed months ago the company had messed up my account and that they would remove the " late payments '' marks on my credit ), NOTHING Would happen. I've been calling them for months. And even now, each month it marks my account as overdue. 

This is outright fraud. I have many documents, emails and many many phonecalls. In the summer when they told me they were " investigating '' they wouldn't even LET me make payments on the phone, and yet my account each month gets a ding on my credit. Flagstar head investigator, XXXX XXXX assured me at the beginning of XXXX that this would be cleared up and off my credit report, yet I heard nothing. I finally got a hold of the manager she said would take care of this, XXXX XXXX, XXXX said she didn't know what I was talking about. She said she would investigate and call me back, and STILL NOTHING! I just got another hit on my credit. I've lost my dream home and now my credit cards have lowered my credit limits because my credit is so horrible 100 % because of FLAGSTAR back. 

Please investigate them for fraud immediately.
