Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the three major credit bureausXXXX, Equifax, and XXXXfor ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with Metro 2 Format and CDIA industry standards.

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court.

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information Metro 2 and CDIA Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of e-OSCAR has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency may not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation. The agency has an obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation itself. '' XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) These harms are measurable, preventable, and attributable to willful negligence and disregard of consumer protection law. 

XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Relief Requested : I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take appropriate supervisory or enforcement action and require XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX to : Immediately delete all negative items previously disputed that can not be verified with complete documentation Cease reporting unverifiable data and require original source validation for all disputes Re-review investigation procedures and prohibit reliance solely on e-OSCAR as a substitute for human reinvestigation Certify in writing that corrective actions have been taken and notify all furnishers and third-party users of the updated information

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting this complaint regarding Experian 's failure to properly investigate my consumer report dispute, in direct violation of their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On XX/XX/year>, I filed a formal dispute with Experian to correct fraudulent and inaccurate information appearing on my consumer report. Instead of conducting a proper investigation, Experian responded with a stall letter that neither addressed my dispute nor took steps to resolve the inaccuracies. 

I am aware that the CFPB has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian for these very same practices namely, their systemic failure to properly investigate consumer disputes. I am a direct victim of this misconduct. 

As a XXXX veteran who suffers from XXXX, this experience has been extremely stressful and emotionally triggering. I am currently in the process of closing on a mortgage, and I am under strict time constraints with only one week remaining to finalize my home purchase. Experians refusal to lawfully process my dispute is putting my homeownership at serious risk, compounding my stress and potentially causing irreparable harm to my financial future. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Experian fully complies with the FCRA, properly investigates my dispute without further delay, and removes the fraudulent and inaccurate items from my consumer report. I also request that Experian be held accountable for the injury and distress they have caused. 

I am attaching supporting documents, including copies of my dispute submission and Experians stall letter, should you require further evidence of their noncompliance. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.

These inaccuracies are clear violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and the bureaus are legally obligated to investigate and correct them. I have received responses suggesting I am using a third-party service, which is false. I am the sole author and sender of these disputes, and I have not enlisted the help of any credit repair company or outside entity.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Private mortgage insurance (PMI)
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I purchased my home in XX/XX/XXXX. Since then, I have made multiple attempts to request the removal of XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( PMI ), based on the increased value of my home as supported by several real estate websites and local agents. I also submitted a detailed list of home XXXX completed since my purchase. 

My first request was made in XX/XX/XXXX, but the mortgage company was unresponsive and failed to provide clear information about the PMI removal process. After multiple follow-ups, they eventually sent me the necessary form. On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted the completed form along with the list of XXXX and a payment check ( proof of payment is attached ). 

Despite depositing the check, the company later claimed they had misplaced the form and improvement documentation. I promptly resubmitted all the required materials by mail. However, by the end of XX/XX/XXXX, I still received no meaningful response. Each time I contacted them, they simply escalated the issue by opening internal tickets, but there was no resolution. Due to continued delays and lack of transparency, I eventually requested a refund for the payment. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, with my loan-to-value ratio reduced to approximately 75 %, I decided to submit a new request to have PMI removed. I resubmitted all required documents again in early XX/XX/XXXX, including updated home valuation reports from XXXX well-known websites showing my home 's estimated value to be more {$340000.00}. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a rejection letter that did not provide any specific reason. When I contacted the company by phone, I was told my request was denied due to a lack of substantial improvements. This directly contradicts all the evidence I provided, including detailed documentation of property upgrades and multiple independent property valuations. 

I believe the company is intentionally making the XXXX  removal process difficult. Given that I purchased XXXX mortgage points ( 2.326 % ) to reduce my interest rate last year, I am unlikely to refinancesomething I believe they are aware of and may be taking advantage of by refusing to remove XXXX  despite my eligibility. 

Requested Action : I respectfully request that this matter be thoroughly investigated and that appropriate action be taken to ensure a fair review of my PMI removal request. I ask that the company be held accountable for the mishandling of my case and that my PMI be removed based on the documentation I have provided. 

Attachments include : XX/XX/XXXX rejection letter Original XXXX  removal form ( XX/XX/XXXX ) Proof of payments List of home improvements Home value estimates from multiple sources and Debt-to-equity ratio calculations

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.
