I informed the mortgage company and made a claim with the insurance company they obtained for my property for me. The insurance company did not honor the insurance policy for the claim against the City of XXXX XXXX and I took the City of XXXX XXXX to court. The city lost and were found guilty of trespassing onto my property. During that time the building inspector illegally tore my house down during litigation and destroyed the evidence. The insurance company did not honor that claim as well for malicious vandalism. The mortgage company knew I was in litigation with the XXXX of XXXX XXXX yet still submitted to credit reporting companies that I had late payments and put negative remarks on my credit report. I have asked repeatedly that they take those remarks and reports off my credit report but they have ignored me. They illegally foreclosed on the property taking me to court without notification of court date so I could come and have my judicial rights. Now that they foreclosed on the property it has been more than 60 days since judgement and they are still sending me mortgage payments and making negative reports against my credit. The foreclosure occurred in XXXX. I tried many ways to rectify this but keep getting blown off and ignored.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

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 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 banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments be updated to on time as they should be, as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
