Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX as it shows on my credit report ) is not properly reporting my account to XXXX  the same as it is reporting the account to XXXX  and Experian. Recently reached out XX/XX/XXXX to both XXXX  & XXXX to understand why my account is shown as a negative closed account while XXXX  and Experian are shown as a positive paid account. Neither party wants to take ownership and/or attempt to correct the issue. 

Have been disputing negative items on my account using XXXX  beginning around XX/XX/XXXX & with clear instructions to have these negative items removed the credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX  & Experian ) have yet to remove these items and are not following the law based on the Fair Credit Reporting Act which states information on my credit report must be reported 100 % equally across all three bureaus. There are clear inaccuracies with these accounts such as different balances being reported & account numbers not matching, and they have yet to remove them. I am on my 5th set of dispute letters with them & either : A. ) the accounts arent being removed based on the FCRA and/or B. ) remarks are being removed then placed back on my account with little to no proof that the information is accurate. I am highly disappointed with how the credit bureaus have been handling these disputes & demand they abide by the FCRA to resolve this issue.

Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter dated XX/XX/2021 indicating I had a new single point of contact with the person 's name and phone number, but the number is the general number for the company, not the person 's extention. There was a second number to use to " escalate an issue '' but that person never answers the extention. 

It feels like the letter was sent because it had to be sent, but the firm ( PennyMac ) really was just giving lip service to the requirement. The letter was at best confusing and at worst deceptive. My call about the issue was shuttled around with no real answer.

Complaint narrative:
Hi XXXX XXXX Sequium Asset Solutions/ XXXX XXXX / Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1.

Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.

You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies.
