Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. 
Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. 
Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the accounts and inquiries listed on my consumer credit report, as referenced below. These entries appear to be the result of a data breach or fraud, and I am requesting a thorough investigation into their legitimacy. Furthermore, I demand verifiable proof, including documentation bearing my signature or electronic signature, to validate these actions. 

This letter is being sent directly by me, not through a third party, and I ask that you carefully review the information provided. I did not authorize the actions reflected in my credit report, and their presence constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : Section 605B : Blocking information resulting from identity theft or fraud [ 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ].

Section 604 : Permissible purposes of consumer reports [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ].

After contacting the companies involved, I confirmed that these actions were initiated without proper validation or original proof. The accounts and inquiries in question are factually inaccurate and unauthorized. These entries are the result of either a data breach or the improper reporting of my consumer information by creditors or third-party data furnishers. 

I respectfully request that you take immediate action to investigate these matters and promptly remove the unauthorized entries from my credit report. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving your response within the timeframe required by the FCRA.

Company: Self Financial Inc.

Complaint narrative:
When I opened this account with Southstate it was supposed to be a credit builder with no penalties- at least thats how its sold. It turned out it was a backwards loan to myself? That I somehow defaulted on??? Somewhere in the terms they hide that youre loaning the bank money - not you, until its paid out. This is completely unclear to a layperson and another way to harm consumers with poor credit or low education. Its predatory.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is about the rash actions of Mr. Cooper, my mortgage company of several years. My account number with them is XXXX. 

In XX/XX/year>, when I was dealing with grave family health matters, Mr. Cooper sent notification that due to tax adjustments, they were increasing my monthly payment by roughly $ XXXX. Fine. However, I for got to make that slight increase to my online banking queue, so the XX/XX/year> payment went out for the old amount. Honest mistake, because I am dealing with grave family health issues and work. 

Turns out that Mr. Cooper placed me into default status - despite receiving a timely mortgage payment of {$3200.00} ( pre-adjusted amount ) - because it was short the {$510.00}. Instead of applying what I sent they opted to place the slightly short payment in a holding account for some reason which caused the default. I do not understand how one can be placed in default for less than {$200.00} in XXXX month. That seems predatory. Also, they opted to place my ( slightly short ) payment in a holding account. Seems like it would have been smarter to apply it. Now I have a ding on my credit rating. 

I would like the ding on my credit report to be removed and I want to elevate potentially predatory practices by this lender.
