Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
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. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
As of today XX/XX/year> the balance of {$16.00}, XXXX still remains on my credit report, after disputing this debt for inaccuracy the credit bureaus failed to do a full investigation for this account failing to follow the Credit Consumer Laws and Fair Credit Reporting Act. There are multiple errors listed on the report and the credit bureaus and XXXX collector XXXX had more than enough time to investigate this debt and failed to follow the laws. Stated in 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. The credit bureaus failed to investigate missing multiple errors on my report causing major issues in my finances and failed to protect my information and data. I have received emails stating my information was compromised during data breaches with XXXX credit bureaus and have not received any compensation. If the goal is to protect clients and their identities, why is it that the credit bureaus are not following the laws or following procedures to assure accuracy on these reports.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX  days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I recently reviewed my credit report and found several inaccuracies regarding my account. These errors are negatively affecting my ability to obtain credit. I understand that you will investigate this account to ensure its accuracy I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the information reported on my credit file regarding the above-referenced account from JPMCB AUTO. This account is listed as a charge-off, with a past due amount of {$45000.00}. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681i, all information furnished to the credit bureaus must be complete and accurate. Once an account has been charged off by the original creditor, it is no longer considered a currently delinquent or past due obligation. Reporting a past due balance after charge-off is inaccurate, misleading, and can unfairly lower my creditworthiness in the eyes of future lenders. 

I am requesting that you investigate this account to ensure its accuracy JPMCB AUTO XXXX # XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
It all started in XXXX of XXXX when we were invited to a XXXXXXXX XXXX Little did we know that this would turn into a nightmare. Representatives from XXXXXXXX XXXX pressured us into purchasing timeshares, going as far as taking XXXX of our credit cards and ID to prevent us from leavingessentially holding us hostage until we agreed to buy. After hours of coercion, we reluctantly gave in. 



The following year, we discovered that the number of points associated with the timeshares we purchased was insufficient for a vacation, and they attempted to upsell us further. When we expressed our desire to exit the timeshare agreement, they offered no assistance. We even hired a lawyer to help us exit in XX/XX/XXXX, but that turned out to be a scam as well. 



By XXXX, realizing the lawyer was unresponsive, we decided to try to exit the timeshare directly with XXXX. They requested a statement indicating that we were no longer represented by the lawyer, which we provided on XX/XX/XXXX. Since then, we have attempted to follow up multiple times through phone calls and emails, with timestamps on our emails being XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. 



Each time we called for help, we were transferred from XXXX department to another without resolution. They repeatedly assured us that someone would call us back, but that call never came. We even received a XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX from XXXX, where they claimed the issue had already been addressed, yet nothing was done. We continued to be charged, and the situation persisted. 



After years of back and forth, we gave up in XX/XX/XXXX. We stopped making payments, hoping XXXX would reach out to find a solution, but they never did. Now, they are impacting our credit scores despite our efforts over the past XXXX years to communicate with them and exit the timeshares they pressured us into purchasing. We do not have the funds to pay for something we can not even use ; we have not utilized this timeshare even once.

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage — Changes in loan terms during or after closing
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I began an FHA streamline refinance through Freedom Mortgage. I was provided an estimate of {$6500.00} to close and a new monthly mortgage payment of {$4000.00}. I was also told on multiple recorded calls and emails that if I closed between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, the XXXX payment would be included in the closing costs, I would skip XXXX, and my first payment would be due in XXXX. 

Prior to these disclosures, I informed the company both by phone and email that my online account showed an escrow shortage of approximately {$4900.00}. Despite this, they issued estimates that did not include that shortage, and never adjusted the figures until days before closing. 

On XX/XX/year>, they presented final disclosures showing {$12000.00} cash to close ( nearly double ) and a new monthly payment of {$4100.00}. They claimed this was due to new information about escrow, even though they were told weeks earlier and the negative escrow was visible on my Freedom Mortgage account the entire time. I have screenshots, call recordings ( on their lines ), and emails proving this was known and discussed. 

The company changed the terms significantly after I had already committed to the refinance, and their justification is factually inaccurate. This has caused financial hardship, broken my trust in the process, and appears to violate TILA and RESPA disclosure requirements. This may also qualify as deceptive trade under Texas DTPA.

I am requesting an investigation into Freedom Mortgage for misrepresentation and failure to disclose accurate loan terms until the last moment. I am prepared to provide documentation if needed.
