Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my consumer credit report by Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX  for XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account No. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Specifically, Equifax is reporting the account as Pays account as agreed with a 30 days past due delinquency, XXXX  is reporting Paid account/was 30 days past due with a XXXX-day delinquent status, and TransUnion is reporting Paid or paying as agreed but does not indicate a payment status. These reports are inaccurate and need to be updated to reflect Paid on time and Paid as agreed for this account. These entries are inconsistent, contradictory, and inaccurate. I am requesting that the status of this account be updated to reflect Paid on time or XXXX, and that the worst delinquency status be updated accordingly to ensure accuracy in reporting. Upon review, I have discovered that these entries violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly Section XXXX, which requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information contained in consumer reports. Furthermore, the entries were reported without my written authorization, in direct violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ), which mandates that consumer information can not be accessed or used without the explicit written consent of the consumer. I expect a detailed response outlining the findings of your investigation, including documentation of the original written instructions from me, with my wet signature, authorizing the reporting of this information, and an explanation of the legitimate purpose for reporting these late payments. Additionally, I request a thorough investigation into these disputed late payments as per Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA and written confirmation of the investigations completion, along with details of any actions taken to rectify this matter.

Lastly, I request documentation to verify compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b, which mandates that periodic statements must be delivered at least 21 days before the payment due date, including the periodic statement and corresponding tracking number to confirm timely delivery. I have attached proof of the inaccuracies and highlighted them in red for your convenience. I trust that you will handle this matter promptly and in compliance with all applicable federal regulations. I look forward to receiving a response within 30 days of the date of this letter. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — Changes in loan terms during the application process
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I contacted Freedom Mortgage ( my current loan servicer ) online to inquire about refinancing for a lower interest rate. XXXX XXXX called me to begin the process, which began normally. After some routine procedures, XXXX called me on XX/XX/year> at approximately noon to notify me that he had secured a rate of 5.875 %. My husband and I were pleased with that as we currently have a rate of 7.5 %. I took out pen and paper as XXXX asked and wrote down the offer and its perks. XXXX stated that along with the lower rate, Freedom would cover ALL closing costs/fees, and there would be no cash required from us to close. He further stated that we could skip the XXXX and XXXX payments, with our first payment due XX/XX/XXXX. The following Monday, XX/XX/year>, we began e-signing preliminary documents when I noticed that the loan amount was quite high, so I asked him about it immediately. The particulars are outlined in the supporting documentation of our recent interactions. Once it became obvious that the documents we were being asked to sign did not reflect what XXXX was saying on the phone, I emailed him asking for an explanation on XX/XX/year>. I had also told him several times that I work for a settlement agency and that I wanted to use them for the closing. To date, I have not heard from him. I was contacted by a customer advocate on XX/XX/year> and I explained all of this to her. XXXX XXXX is her name. She was to have him call me. Once I told her that I intended to withdraw the loan application if I didn't hear from XXXX by end of business, I stopped hearing from her too. Currently, the loan still shows in my online account as in process. These practices are unethical and deceitful. I would like to see Freedom Mortgage held accountable to the fullest extent that they can.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The XXXX XXXX tradeline is being furnished inaccurately and in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The account is reported as charged off with {$5200.00} written off, yet it also shows {$5200.00} still past due. This is contradictory and misleading.

The tradeline further reports rolling charge-off notations every month from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. A charge-off is a one-time event, not a recurring monthly delinquency. This false reporting artificially inflates derogatory history.

Additionally, the Date of First Delinquency has been re-aged, making the account appear newer and extending the negative impact beyond what the law allows under FCRA 605 ( c ).

I requested documentation to validate the accuracy of the balance, charge-off amount, and payment history, but the company failed to provide this information. Because the account remains inaccurate, unverifiable, and misleading, it is not in compliance with FCRA 602 ( a ), 607 ( b ), and 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ).

State: FL

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 identi
ty theft and must be frozen : 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.

" I told him he was rude and unprofessional and I wanted to speak with a supervisor, he stated " I am the supervisor! '' I said I wanted to speak with someone else and he placed me on hold after a brief argument and got back on the phone and pretended to be another representative and identified himself as another person. Which is illegal and crossed a major unprofessional guideline.
