Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the three major credit bureausXXXX XXXX and TransUnionfor ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with Metro 2 Format and XXXX industry standards. 

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court. 

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information Metro 2 and XXXX Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of e-OSCAR has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency may not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation. The agency has an obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation itself. '' Cushman v. Trans Union Corp., 115 F.3d 220 ( 3rd Cir. 1997 ) These harms are measurable, preventable, and attributable to willful negligence and disregard of consumer protection law. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Relief Requested : I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take appropriate supervisory or enforcement action and require XXXX XXXX, and TransUnion to : Immediately delete all negative items previously disputed that can not be verified with complete documentation Cease reporting unverifiable data and require original source validation for all disputes Re-review investigation procedures and prohibit reliance solely on e-OSCAR as a substitute for human reinvestigation Certify in writing that corrective actions have been taken and notify all furnishers and third-party users of the updated information

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint about several hard inquiries that appear on my credit file. I previously raised this issue because I do not believe these companies had a valid reason ( permissible purpose ) or my authorization to pull my credit. 

The following inquiries are in question : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I already asked for proof that I applied for or authorized these credit pulls, but I have not received any documentation showing that. To this day, no signed application, consent form, or any other evidence has been provided.

Because of this, I believe these inquiries are unverified and should not remain on my credit file. They are lowering my credit score and creating a misleading picture of my credit history.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Loan sold or transferred to another company
Company: AmeriHome Mortgage Company, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Mortgage Servicing Transfer Caused Inaccurate Late Payments and Credit Damage Company : AmeriHome Mortgage / XXXX Summary of Issue : In XX/XX/year>, my mortgage servicing was transferred from AmeriHome Mortgage to XXXX. I was informed I had a 30-day grace period to make my XXXX payment. However, I was unable to make the payment because XXXX had not yet issued a loan number, and I was told by both AmeriHome and XXXX that payment could not be accepted without it. 

Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue, I did not receive my loan number until late XXXX. I made my payment on XX/XX/XXXX, but was told it was 30 days past due. This resulted in a negative mark on my credit report. 

Since then, I have made every monthly payment on time, but each payment has been recorded as over 30 days late due to the initial delay. This has caused ongoing damage to my credit score. In XX/XX/year>, my mortgage servicing was transferred back to AmeriHome, but the late charges and negative credit reporting have continued.

Impact : My credit report now reflects multiple 30-day late payments, despite timely payments since XXXX. 

I was not given the necessary information to make my XXXX payment on time. 

I was penalized for a delay caused by the servicing transfer and lack of communication between AmeriHome and XXXX. 

I am now facing late fees and credit damage that I can not afford to resolve through extra payments. 

Resolution Requested : Removal of all late payment marks from my credit report from XXXX through XX/XX/year>. 

Waiver of any late fees incurred due to the servicing transfer delay. 

Written confirmation that my account is current and in good standing. 

Assurance that future servicing transfers will not result in similar issues. 

I am a responsible borrower who made every effort to pay on time. The delay was caused by the companies involved, not by negligence on my part. I respectfully request the CFPB investigate this matter and help correct the unjust damage to my credit and finances.
