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 on my XXXX 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 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.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts were always on time! With XXXX XXXX, I had a wonderful payment history, and every payment was set up on autopay. They processed the transaction incorrectly on their end, which is why this late payment is being reported. 

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 reported to be removed/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.

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!

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage — Fees or costs after closing
Company: Richard A. Weidel Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I was the loan originator working for Princeton Mortgage and tasked with financing a mortgage for a client in XXXX Texas which closed XXXXXXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX. We were able to utilize the down payment assistance program through XXXX with a 3 year deferred 2nd lien on the property. Princeton Mortgage was not familiar with the way XXXX operated and this was their first time utilizing the newly onboarded program. I was one of the first employees originating loans in Texas for the company and had been originating files through XXXX for the last 6 years. The entire transaction was a nightmare with constant delays and changes made to the loan profile throughout the process. I tried my best to establish a solid line of communication with the management, underwriting, and processing teams. This way I could help educate them the proper way to set up the file ensuring an accurate closing process. 

Princeton Mortgage failed to resell the loan properly on the secondary market. This would force Princeton Mortgage Corporation to buy the paper and service the mortgage themselves. In the meantime the processing/ underwriting manager ( XXXX XXXX ) ran a unauthorized VOE on the loan applicant again after the closing. This VOE came back inaccurate showing the borrower left the job on the closing date. 

While I was still employed with Princeton I refused to allow them to make falsified changes to the loan application which could help them recall the mortgage freeing up much needed operating funds. I even caught Princetons Manager and the employers business owner colluding to back date the termination for both of their monetary gains. Upon my unwarranted and just termination, Princeton recalled the mortgage under false pretenses and forced the client to refinance the home within the first year after purchase, giving up all of the down payment assistance incentives he received with me.

Second : - XX/XX/XXXX ( Was not able to maintain records from this date. However I have copies of all other communication including a formal report to the HR Dept regarding this file and concerns with other files along with the manager whom were knowingly breaking the law on a daily basis to maintain good standings with the CEO.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to dispute an inaccurately reported charge-off account associated with XXXX Account Number XXXX XXXX my Equifax credit report. The creditor has failed to substantiate or validate this charge-off in compliance with federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. : The FCRA requires creditors to report accurate and verifiable information. The reporting of this charge-off account lacks adequate substantiation, as no documentation proving the validity of the debt has been provided. 

Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 6050P : When an account is deemed uncollectible and charged off, the creditor is obligated to issue a 1099-C form for cancellation of debt if the forgiven amount meets the reporting threshold. In this case, no 1099-C form has been issued, which raises doubts about the legitimacy of the charge-off. 

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) Guidelines : Under CFPB rules, creditors are required to ensure fair, accurate, and substantiated credit reporting practices. Reporting this account as a charge-off without proof of its validity may constitute an unfair and deceptive practice in violation of the Dodd-Frank Act, 12 U.S.C. 5531.
