Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
A while ago I noticed that there were so many things on my credit that I can not even begin to guess where these fraudulent accounts came from. So, I requested validation ( in the form of the original contracts ) from the bureau for each fraudulent account so that I could actually get to the bottom of who was using my identity and to also get this information removed. I sent in a letter and a FTC report just like the bureau requested 2 months ago and I still havent received any original contracts, or the method of verification, who they spoke with at these companies and the information is still on my report.

Complaint narrative:
Transunion has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. These failures align with my experience, where Transunion has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as XXXX inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

This was all a lie. XXXX has changed my interest rate and closing cost about XXXX or XXXX times and he hasnt been truthful about everything. When I learned of XXXX behavior immediately contacted my realtor and the closing attorney office to advise them of his behavior and asked if it was ok to work with another lender that was more transparent. Both advised that the seller would need to agree to it. Well the seller said No they would not allow me to switch lenders that I would have to use their lender or I would have to remain with XXXX. The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX advised after sending him all documents for the current lender that I was being charged over {$2700.00} for point on the loan which he could for free. After advising this to my realtor XXXX XXXX she relayed this information and it was met with resistance again by the seller. Also XXXX hours before closing the mortgage XXXX XXXX stated that the underwriter needed me to write an essay stating how my degree would help my employment.

I paid XXXX in additional closing costs fee plus the {$5000.00} XXXX money that I was advised that I would not receive back if I did not close on the house.

This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported in to be removed. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
