Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to address the presence of unauthorized transactions in my consumer report, which I did not authorize or instruct. As a result, I formally request the blocking and removal of these accounts without any inaccuracies or misrepresentation of facts. Below, I have listed the specific accounts in question : It appears that your organization may be violating 15 U.S.C 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ), which prohibits a consumer report from solely containing information about transactions or experiences between the consumer and the entity reporting the information. 

This statute explicitly states that XXXX, as the reporting entity, should not include transactions or experiences associated with the line of credit extended between the consumer and the reporting entity in my consumer report. 

I urge you to promptly update my utilization to XXXX XXXX or below within XXXX calendar days or remove all utilization from the mentioned accounts. 

Furthermore, I request that you provide all documents on which you rely for reporting the referenced accounts, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ). The information you are reporting is damaging to my reputation and adversely affecting my creditworthiness. 

Therefore, I demand the removal of these accounts from my file within 30 days, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), or verification of these accounts. 

Additionally, along with the removal of erroneous and unverified information, kindly eliminate all non-account holding inquiries older than 30 days. 

Failure to provide a satisfactory response with the deletion of the mentioned utilization and inquiries will result in legal action against your company, for which I will seek {$1000.00} per violation : Defamation of Character Civil Liability Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 U.S.C 1681 violations for willful noncompliance - 616. Civil liability for willful noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681n ]

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Notice Of Dispute - To Whom it May Concern, I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction and concern regarding the manner in which you have handled the reporting of the account CB/EXPRESS XXXX on my credit report. It has come to my attention that there are multiple blatant violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in connection with this account, and I am demanding immediate action to rectify this matter. 

Specifically, I am formally requesting a full debt validation, which must include the following information : Original Contract : Provide a complete copy of the original contract between the alleged creditor and myself pertaining to the account CB/EXPRESS XXXX XXXX 

Original Creditor : Clearly state the name and contact information of the original creditor associated with this account. 

Original Open Date : Provide the precise date on which the account CB/EXPRESS XXXX was originally established. 

Date of Last Payment : Specify the exact date of the last payment made in relation to this account. 

Date Account Was Closed : Indicate the date on which the account CB/EXPRESS XXXX was officially closed. 

I am well aware of my rights under the FCRA, and it is evident that your company has failed to adhere to its obligations in ensuring the accuracy and validity of the information it reports. I insist on a prompt response and resolution to this matter. 

Failure to comply with this request within XXXX from the date of this letter will leave me with no alternative but to pursue legal action to enforce my rights under the FCRA. Please consider this a formal notice of my intention to do so. 

I expect a timely response, along with the requested documentation, to be sent to the CFPB Portal for prompt access. Additionally, please ensure that any corrections made to my credit report are promptly reflected.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
This is not the first time I'm complaining about this same issue. I logged a complaint last year too with CFPB ( Ref # XXXX ) for the same exact thing. DO NOT disburse money from my Escrow Account irresponsibly to pay my home Insurance premium when its ACTIVE and hasn't past the due date yet. 

Knowing that there are irresponsible and bad actors at Wells Fargo, which lead to the largest scandal in recent times and the resignation of XXXX XXXX, I specifically took the time off from my work and made the call ( waiting on the line for my turn ) and placed a hold on my Escrow account to NOT make any payments to my Home Insurance, it was still done! 

Worse yet, when I spoke to the person over the phone this year ( XXXX ), I got the exact same response as I received last year ( XXXX ) for this same problem which only proves that fact that its a very common occurrence at the bank and all your agents have been trained to respond in a similar way. 

Now this is what I need from you ( Wells Fargo ). Since we've been here before already and this has happened again, which totally prove the point that you have NOT taken any responsibility or have put a check in place to STOP the occurrence of the issue. What are my options now as a Customer? 

What are you willing to do to set things right in a way that settles this issue? 

If not, then where can I go next to ensure that you are held accountable not just for huge XXXX XXXX fraud scandals, but also for ( comparatively ) smaller issues that cause havoc in the life of a powerless, voiceless naive customer like me?

Company: GUARANTEED RATE INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I closed on my house XX/XX/XXXX through the company Guaranteed Rate Inc. At the time of closing my monthly mortgage payment was XXXX. XXXX was taken out of each monthly bill and put into escrow. My loan was recently sold to another company XXXX serviced by XXXX XXXX. We received a statement on XX/XX/XXXX informing us that our escrow account was short and that we would be paying an extra XXXX a month for 12 months to catch up then it would drop down XXXX permanently. I contacted the original company that we closed with at the time of the purchase and they admitted that they failed to estimate the taxes based off of the home assessment because it was new construction and the town didn't assess the house yet and they failed to push back on the lawyer who provided them the information as well as failed to inform us of this prior to closing. My mortgage is going to be over XXXX dollars a month now and I don't know how I am going to pay it. We specifically bought the house based of of the monthly payments we were told we would have if we knew they would have been XXXX more a month it would have significantly impacted our decision.
