Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Complaint narrative:
I do not recognize the accounts, collections, charge-offs, late payments, or hard inquiries that have been reported under my credit file. These items were not opened, authorized, or initiated by me. The presence of these accounts, collections, and inquiries is the direct result of identity theft and fraudulent activity. 
Therefore, I am formally requesting that you conduct a thorough investigation, remove all inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report, and correct my file to reflect only accurate and verifiable data. Please delete the negative account information immediately in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Fees charged
Company: Equity Wave Lending, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Summary : Equity Wave Lending , Inc., acting as loan servicer, filed two Notices of Default ( NOD ) on our investment properties without proper notice, charged unlawful foreclosure fees, and misrepresented the loan status to us while accepting communications and payments in good faith. 

Details : Between XXXX and XX/XX/year>, I ( XXXX XXXX ) and co-borrower XXXX XXXX were in regular contact with Equity Waves servicing representative, XXXX XXXX, regarding delayed payments on our loans XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) and XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX sent Late Notice # XXXX emails and never disclosed that, the same day, she had signed a Notice of Default declaration that was recorded on XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, her colleague XXXX XXXX confirmed in writing that no foreclosure had been started, even though the NODs were already recorded. 

Equity Wave also attempted an unauthorized debit from my XXXX checking account on XX/XX/XXXX, without written or oral consent, for XXXX of the affected loans. This resulted in NSF charges and violated XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and the XXXX mortgage servicing standards prohibiting unauthorized withdrawals. 

After filing the NODs, Equity Wave provided payoff statements on XX/XX/XXXX showing inflated and unexplained foreclosure fees totaling {$2600.00} and {$2600.00} respectively, including a {$500.00} NOD processing fee that is an internal charge. Under California Civil Code 2924c ( b ), allowable foreclosure fees are capped at {$750.00} for these loan amounts, making the charges excessive and unlawful. Despite multiple written requests and a letter sent through their counsel XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, Equity Wave has refused to provide itemized invoices or documentation for these amounts.

This pattern shows unfair, deceptive, and abusive acts and practices ( UDAAP ) under 12 U.S.C. 5531, including misrepresentation of loan status, unauthorized debit attempts, and refusal to provide required fee disclosures.

Complaint narrative:
What happened? 
In early XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX began reporting multiple business card accounts on my personal credit report. 
Each entry shows the same account number ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) but lists different open dates ( XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ), different account types ( once as a business card and once as a revolving account ), and inconsistent payment histories. 
The accounts are marked closed yet still display active balances ( {$38000.00} and {$74000.00} ) and XXXX and XXXX late-payment notations. This creates duplicate, misleading, and inaccurate information on my credit file. 
I disputed the items with all three credit bureaus in XX/XX/XXXX, but they remain unchanged. 
I also sent a written validation and valuation request directly to XXXX XXXX XXXX requesting the original signed agreement, full accounting ledger, date of first delinquency, and proof of the right to report this business debt under my consumer profile. 
No adequate validation has been provided. 
These actions appear to violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), 1681s-2 ( a ) ) because the information is inaccurate and unverified, and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) ) if the debt was assigned for collection. 
2 Companys response so far XXXX XXXX XXXX and the credit bureaus have continued reporting the same conflicting information. 
No supporting documentation, signed agreement, or accounting history has been provided to verify or correct the tradeline.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am enclosing a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer files a report of identity theft, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as being the product of such theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be frozen : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately frozen from my credit report. This freeze must remain in effect for a period of one year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no information may be reported. 
I have contacted EXPERIAN multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive solution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely impacting me, as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my financial growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm. These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit bureaus, so I don't understand why this agency continues to claim these accounts belong to me. 
I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than 60 days, I have not received a response. I respectfully request that you help me by removing these accounts immediately.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment to be updated. 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. EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION 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! Update the late payments from my consumer reports.
