Consumer complaint received 2016-09-07 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Fay Servicing, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
After three failed attempts to have Fay Servicing apply funds to outstanding late fees, I am submitting this complaint. I have contacted them three times by telephone. I have written them XXXX letters, as well. All to no avail. 
Currently, my account has a balance of {$160.00} sitting in an account that Fay Servicing calls, 'Suspended Balance. ' I also have an outstanding amount due in late charges of {$160.00}. I have asked Fay Servicing to apply the money in the Suspended balance to the outstanding late fees. To date, they have failed to do that. I tried reaching my account manager, XXXX XXXX, but she is not available. I did speak with her on XXXX XXXX, 2016. At that time, she told me that the money would be applied to the outstanding balance for late charges. That never happened. Today, I called Fay Servicing for the third time to resolve this matter. XXXX XXXX was not available. When asked to speak to her manager, XXXX XXXX, I was told he was not available but would call me. He has yet to do that. 

It should not take XXXX letters and XXXX phone calls to have a simply matter like this resolved. I also ca n't get an answer from Fay Servicing as to why their accounting system software can not apply the money in my account properly.

Company: Fay Servicing, LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Our mortgage was transferred to Fay Services from XXXX XXXX XXXX as of XXXX/XXXX/16 due to us being behind on payments. On XXXX/XXXX/16, we made a payment of {$1800.00} which cleared our bank on XXXX/XXXX/16. On XXXX/XXXX/16 we made a payment for {$1800.00} which cleared our bank on XXXX/XXXX/16. On XXXX/XXXX/16 we made a payment of {$1800.00}. This check was sent back to us with a letter stating that they could only accept the full balance due for payment. Our XXXX/XXXX/16 statement had a balance due of {$6700.00}. On XXXX/XXXX/16, we sent a payment for {$6700.00} paying the balance in full as the letter requested. On XXXX/XXXX/16, we received a check from them in the amount of {$1800.00} refunding our XXXX/XXXX/16 payment. To date they have not applied the {$6700.00} payment and have put our house into pre-foreclosure. I called on XXXX/XXXX/16, when we received the check in the mail. I left a message for our account manager, and he still has not called me back as of XXXX/XXXX/16. I finally got to another representative on XXXX/XXXX/16, who hung up on me in the middle of explaining our payment application issue. My husband called on XXXX/XXXX/16 and left a message for our account manager and has not received a call back either. He spoke to another representative who said he would look into our {$6700.00} payment and call him back by the end of the day. He did not receive a call back. I checked our account online this morning, and not only have they not applied the {$6700.00}, but they have put a property preservation notation on our account for the pre-foreclosure. In addition, they told my husband we would owe additional late fees for the money that they returned back to us. Our XXXX/XXXX/16 statement shows a late payment will be assessed if the full balance of {$6700.00} is n't paid by XXXX/XXXX/16. They are holding onto our funds to accrue late fees, and sending payments back so they can continue to refuse payments for payment not being paid in full.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Reinserted previously deleted info
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
The public records in dispute were deleted years ago from my file because they are not mine. As recent as a few months ago they have reappeared. I have contacted the bureaus several times and they have refused to provide any proof they are mine nor will they remove them again. At this time, short of legal action, the only resolution I will accept is deletion and suppression of the public records so they ca n't be reinserted at another time. 
I have come to the conclusion that the credit bureaus are violating my rights under section 1681and that they have received the following : NOTICE OF PENDING LITIGATION SEEKING RELIEF AND MONETARY DAMAGES UNDER FCRA SECTION 616 & SECTION 617. I receive the same response each time saying " verified '', and yet section 609 ( c ) states that I am allowed disclosure of the documentation used to " verify '' the accounts. They refuse to provide the documents as well as their method of verification ; the results they send state that I can request such and then they deny this. The accounts I am disputing do NOT belong to me. In addition, there are multiple addresses on my file that do not belong to me ; therefore, I am positive they belong to someone who has used my information in one way or another. I am going to have to resort to suing the credit bureaus.

Issue: Improper use of my credit report — Report improperly shared by CRC
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
The Credit Reporting company, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) credit card services, intentionally reported my payment status to credit bureaus as 'Unknown ' rather than PAID ; Simultaneously, said bank intentionally removed the value of the subject credit card 's 'revolving credit limit ' thereby 'Negatively decreasing my Credit Score '. These simultaneous negative Credit Card reporting actions by XXXX created an 'illusion whereby any revolving credit usage on behalf of the consumer would provide false percentage of total usage '. The above-mentioned 'diabolical scheme ' surfaced when the consumer PAID IN FULL the balance of XXXX Credit Card nearest the statement cycle closing date and the consumer did not opt to use XXXX 's offer of free FICO Score services. XXXX reported the consumer 's credit card as OPEN with zero balance while 'knowingly removing the revolving credit limit field and while changing the Staus-Field of the credit reporting to 'Unknown ' ; This field had always been reflected as PAID by XXXX as the consumer was NEVER LATE.

Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score — Problem getting my free annual report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
There is grave discrepancy on my Experian credit report that urgently need correction. I have copies of my current credit reports through third-party services like XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, which clearly show the matter in dispute. This issue is depressing my Experian credit score by around XXXX points, when compared to my XXXX report, which correctly does not list the issue as a derogatory. All other information listed on my XXXX credit reports is essentially identical. 

In order to file the dispute with Experian, I need a " credit report number '' from them. However, each attempt to access it through Experian or XXXX fails to produce the necessary report with its " credit report number. '' I always receive an error " We are unable to honor your request, '' even though I have submitted the correct personal identification information multiple times, even from different web browsers. 

If third-party services can pull the current report on demand from Experian, there is no reason Experian itself should not be able to produce the report ( with the " credit report number '' required to submit the dispute ) with the identical personal information. 

This feels like a scam to get me to purchase some reporting service from Experian, which I do not need, except to report the mistake in their records. 

Please advise a path forward for either receiving the required " credit report number '' or to submit a dispute to Experian without it. 

Thank you.

The notice reads " The issue date of the Social Security number that you gave us when you contacted us is not verified by the Social Security XXXX ''. When I contacted Experian to fix the issue, they told me nothing could be done. My SSN was issued XX/XX/XXXX. Since XX/XX/XXXX, the Social Security XXXX changed the way they issued SSN to increase security and consumer protection. As such, many companies, including Experian, can no longer validate my SSN. I can not understand why I am being penalized and denied service because a safety featured implemented by SSA. I would like to request that Experian remove this notice from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act was established as Section Nine XXXX 9 ) of the 1970 Currency Act, otherwise known as Public Law 91-508, and subsequently amended many times. It was established to protect consumers as well as the commercial banking industry. It also establishes a playing field for full disclosure on the validation or verification of credit trade lines or items of public record. 
An item of public record being a judgment granted to a creditor against an individual, having the right of being on a credit bureau, that are part of credit reporting agencies ( CRA 'S ). These items have a right to stay on one 's credit report for XXXX XXXX 10 XXXX years from the date the judgment was granted. However, several changes have been accomplished recently based upon rules on re-aged debts. 
Bankruptcies have a right to be maintained on credit bureaus for ten XXXX 10 XXXX years, be it a Chapter XXXX or Chapter XXXX petition. 
I personally, as part of my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act have a right to know where an item of public record originated from, such as a public record vendor. It must be presented to me who the public record vendor was, their contact information, and a person XXXX s ) responsible for the maintaining of any true copy original of an item posted against me on any credit bureau ; i.e., Experian, XXXX respectively. 
Accordingly, I have submitted a request for full authenticity of a bankruptcy posted against my credit bureau, and that no disclosure has been submitted to me as to where this information originated from. 
I respectfully request that since the credit reporting agency in question has failed to live up to the high standards of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, that this bankruptcy listed be deleted permanently.
