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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. 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 to 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.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccurate 30-day late payment reporting by Freedom Mortgage Corp for XX/XX/scrub> XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year>. My payments were made on time and in full, and I had sufficient funds, including prior overpayment credits, to cover both months. 

Despite this, Freedom Mortgage misapplied my XXXX payment by allocating portions to principal instead of my monthly obligation, creating a false past-due status. This error caused XXXX payment to also appear late, even though I paid my full balance by XX/XX/year>XXXX 

After I questioned the reporting, I discovered Freedom Mortgage changed how my ledger displayed the information. Before my dispute, the ledger showed correct credits and payment applications. Afterward, the ledger reflected different allocations and balances, making it appear as though I had missed or partially paid when I had not. 

Freedom Mortgage acknowledged the mistake and instructed me to submit a dispute through secure messages so the incorrect reporting could be removed. I followed their instructions, but they failed to investigate and instead verified the inaccurate information to the credit bureaus. 

I have repeatedly contacted Freedom Mortgage, provided payment confirmations, and submitted disputes to all three credit bureaus, yet the errors remain. 

Please review attached documents for verification. Thank you

My first payment was due XX/XX/XXXX and I requested a payment extension to make the payment XX/XX/XXXX. The worker XXXX at the XXXX, Tx location did not give me the option and threatened to send my payment to collections forcing me to pay fees that are double the amount of the loan. 

I personally feel harassed and overwhelmed without the ability to be assisted in these hard times and I find it is unfair.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX Discover responded to my XXXX  complaint with the same stall-and-deflection tactics used in prior CFPB cases.

Instead, they restated old account history, deflected me to outside counsel XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX, and refused to correct credit reporting. The account remains listed as disputed instead of settled/closed, even though XXXX collected funds without validation. This is a stalling tactic that leaves my tradeline inaccurate and misleading. 

This complaint supplements my prior CFPB cases : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. These matters are also under review with the Maryland Attorney General ( Consumer Protection and Enforcement Divisions ) and the Maryland Bar Counsel.
