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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

Consumer Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX, Consumer Social Security Number : XXXX, Consumer Date of Birth : XXXX Contents of Complaint : This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the EXPERIAN credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Freedom Mortgage for incorrect credit reporting and what I believe to be predatory practices in relation to my mortgage account. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I was granted an unemployment forbearance that was effective from XX/XX/XXXX, until XX/XX/XXXX. However, I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, stating that I had a late payment recorded from XX/XX/XXXX. As a result of this, I was shocked to find a 120-day late payment indicator on my credit reports from the major credit bureaus for XX/XX/XXXX. 

Following the conclusion of the unemployment forbearance, I was granted a loan modification that took effect from XX/XX/XXXX, to XX/XX/XXXX. I made all required payments during this time, yet my credit reports from the three major credit bureaus reflect 180-day late indicators for these dates. 

I am highly concerned about the following issues : 1. The 120-day late payment indicator for XX/XX/XXXX, which should not have been reported due to my unemployment forbearance. 
2. The subsequent 150-day late indicators and beyond, which seem to be erroneous given my forbearance and loan modification. 
3. Additionally, for XX/XX/XXXX, I made my payment online on XX/XX/XXXX, yet I received a 30-day late payment indicator reported to the three major credit bureaus. 

These inaccuracies have significantly impacted my credit score and financial wellbeing. I believe these practices may violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act and potentially indicate predatory behavior on the part of Freedom Mortgage. 

I request that your office investigate this matter and assist in correcting the inaccuracies on my credit reports. I have attached copies of relevant documentation, including the forbearance agreement and payment records, for your review. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response and assistance in resolving these issues. 

Attachments : 1. Copy of the unemployment forbearance agreement 2. Copy of loan modification 3. Proof of payment on XX/XX/XXXX Please let me know if any further information or documentation is required to facilitate the investigation. I appreciate your support in rectifying these discrepancies and protecting my consumer rights. 

Thank you once again for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

Company: RentDebt Automated Collections, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of this year, I received a notification on my credit report indicating that a collections account had been opened with " RentDebt Automated Collections. '' The account first appeared on my credit report in XXXX. However, I have never received any correspondence from RentDebt Automated Collections regarding this debt.

There have been no letters, emails, or phone calls from them to notify me of the debt, as required by law. I only became aware of its existence when my credit score dropped significantly due to this account being reported.

Additionally, the status of the account shows as " closed, '' yet it reopens every month and then closes again with an " updated balance '' that does not change. This ongoing cycle has caused further damage to my credit score and created unnecessary stress and confusion.
