Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my extreme frustration and anger regarding the recent findings of inaccuracies in my credit report. Upon conducting an investigation, I discovered numerous unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable items that your agency failed to ensure were reported correctly.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, it is imperative that all information on my credit report is 100 % accurate. However, the accounts in question are clearly in violation of this requirement, as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ). This negligence on your part has not only caused me severe emotional distress but also jeopardized my financial well-being. 

I demand immediate action to rectify these errors and ensure that my credit report reflects accurate information. I have attached copies of all previous correspondence sent to your agency for your reference. 

Failure to address these issues promptly will leave me with no choice but to take legal action to protect my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the actions of MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEM, a collection agency, which I believe are in violation of several consumer protection laws. The specific laws allegedly violated are : 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) : This regulation prohibits unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices by debt collectors. I assert that Midland Cred has violated this provision.

12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ) : This section pertains to the communication tactics of debt collectors. I contend that Midland Cred has failed to comply with the requirements outlined in this regulation.

12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) : This regulation addresses the validation of debts by debt collectors. I believe Midland Cred has not adhered to the stipulations set forth in this section.

15 USC 1681-S2 ( 7 ) ( A ) : This provision of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) prohibits the reporting of inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies. I am concerned that Midland Cred has violated this law, I demand the immediate deletion of the account associated with XXXX XXXX XXXX, from the records of both MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEM and any credit reporting agencies. This demand is based on the identified violations and in accordance with my rights under the aforementioned laws. I appreciate the attention of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to this matter and your commitment to upholding consumer rights. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
The level of incompetence at your companies is alarming and brings an entire new meaning to the word shyster. It is now clear this is all by design in an attempt to either pass liability to another company or as a intentional game to make it so a customer gets nowhere with the process and hopefully acquiesce to the XXXX  As you can clearly see, I already did what you stated ( contact the fraud department ) multiple times at this point, both on the phone and through email ( which is clear since the email address is in the list of addresses to which the previous emails were sent ). I also called the number and spoke to multiple people there over the past few months and am just repeatedly told to contact Avant because the fraud department ( some strange outsourced company ) do not make the decision and there is nothing they can do because Avant made the decision. As previously stated, once I communicate with Avant again all I am told is to recontact the fraud department. The fraud department is a third party company and every time I contact them and get nowhere and request to file a complaint and ask what company they are, the representative hangs up on me without filing a complaint, transferring me to a manager, or telling me what company they are. 

XXXX 's policy is Zero Liability Protection for unauthorized charges, which applies here. You are in violation of XXXX 's policy as well. 

Once again, I am writing to notify you that you are in violation of the law ( which for whatever reasons seemingly mean nothing to you and will definitely come back to haunt you ) and I will be seeking damages if you do not immediately resolve this by removing the charges and fees and also rectifying all the erroneous information submitted to the credit bureaus. You already significantly violated the law and it caused harm to my financial records and adverse action against me. 

As previously stated in emails on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and multiple other instances over the past few months, this needs to be resolved as I still have not received a refund for the fraud and you are still trying to collect from me while reporting my account as late and over limit to the credit bureaus, all of which is in violation of the law of the Fair Credit Billing Act. Once again, please find attached the complaint submitted to the CFPB, # XXXX ( which I will be resubmitting should you not immediately resolve this ). Thank you for your help immediately rectifying this as I am not liable for fraud. XXXX has Zero Liability Protection. Please immediately remove all the charges/fees/etc. on my account and rectify the information reported to the credit bureaus. Thank you for your help rectifying this immediately.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, I received an Annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement from NewRez LLC with our XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX along with {$6900.00} of incorrectly assessed Lender Placed Hazard insurance figured into our escrow calculation, essentially increasing our total mortgage payment approximately {$600.00} per month over what was necessary. I called customer service immediately after receiving notice in the mail and spoke with a man that said the Lender Placed Hazard Insurance had been canceled and he would request a new Annual Escrow Account Disclosure statement with the updated calculations. I never heard back and my online payment amount was unchanged. On XX/XX/2024 I submitted an online inquiry requesting the updated correct mortgage payment amount that would come due XX/XX/2024. I received email confirmation the request was received and we will respond as soon as we can. I never heard back. On Thursday, XX/XX/2024, I once again called customer service about the same issue. They said they had no record of a request for a new escrow calculation. I was on hold for an hour to receive confirmation that the request had been received with the escrow department and the customer service representative I was speaking to said the escrow department was not responding, and therefore, she was unable to give me confirmation that the request had been received and that all she was able to do at this time is submit the request and to allow 2 weeks for a response, which is after our mortgage payment is due. Now, Im powerless and have to pay the inflated mortgage payment amount or it will be reported to the credit companies. Also, the overpaid amount will sit in escrow account and will not be refunded until a year from now. NewRez has failed to address their miscalculation of my mortgage payment and their customer service department was not effective in solving my issue. Beware of NewRez, LLC!
