Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Public record
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I NEVER filed chapter XXXX bankruptcy. XXXX is reporting ( acct # XXXX ) that I did a chapter XXXX bankruptcy which is a complete lie. Today I received the results of an investigation from a dispute I did with transunion numerous times. It is still reporting as paid through chapter XXXX. My biggest question is how can a bank report such a lie. I also did this dispute again probably for the XXXX time and transunion told me it would take approx 30 days for the results of the investiation. There investigation was way too quick and I feel they did n't even investigate it properly. The rep at transunion told me that within 24 hours this will be internally removed as they saw I NEVER filed chapter XXXX. It is still reporting on my credit report. I have spent numerous days and hours on the phone plus writing letters requesting to please remove this wrong information as it is affecting my credit score in a very negative way. I have also contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX in regards to this as they are breaking the ftc law. I am submitting this complaint again as having this wrong information reporting and transunion. I am also submitting this complaint as I had a tax lien in the amount of {$990.00} that was paid. For some reason it is reporting as XXXX tax liens XXXX for {$890.00} and another XXXX for {$100.00} which adds up to the true amount of {$990.00}. Another credit reporting agency has verified and corrected this finally for me but transunion did not do a proper investigation as it would have been verified and corrected. Having all this negative untrue wrong information is affecting me in obtaining substantial credit.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act has as part of its complex legal process a definitive timeline as to when a credit trade line is to be removed. In the trade line under my name from XXXX XXXX, I had periods since XXXX where my payments were in excess of 30 days late. 
XXXX XXXX is extending the time period by a process known as re-aging of debt. They are doing this by the elimination of a payment history, stating that the trade line will be removed from all pertinent credit reporting agencies XXXX of XXXX. I believe that the 7-year rule properly applied will show that I had late payments long before XXXX, and that the XXXX XXXX trade line must be removed immediately and permanently. 
XXXX XXXX HAS NO OTHER RECOURSE BUT TO REMOVE MY ACCOUNT INFORMATION BASED UPON FCRA 7-YEAR RULE ON NEGATIVE INFORMATION!!! 
I REQUEST A PROPER REINVESTIGATION WHEREAS ALL PAYMENTS CAN BE POSTED TO ASCERTAIN THAT MY NEGATIVE PAYMENT HISTORY STARTED LONG BEFORE XXXX, AND THAT THE TIMELINE FOR THIS CREDIT ITEM HAS PASSED IT RESOURCEFUL PERIOD OF USEFULLNESS. 
THE XXXX XXXX ITEM POSTED ON MY CREDIT BUREAU MUST BE DELETED PERMANENTLY, AND I SHOULD RECEIVE A REVISED CREDIT BUREAU ACCORDINGLY FROM EACH CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY WHERE I FILED A LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT THROUGH THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU.

Complaint narrative:
My credit went from XXXX to XXXX due to the Great Recession and problems in paying medical bills and being unemployed. In XXXX I landed a job and have not missed any bill payments since then. Accordingly, my credit went from XXXX to XXXX in XXXX. However, in XXXX of XXXX my credit suddenly dropped from XXXX to XXXX per XXXX XXXX 's data collected from Transunion and XXXX. When I checked to see why I discovered a XXXX NEW entries for unpaid balances that were FOURTEEN YEARS OLD, both dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Both entries involved " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' which I have never heard of in amounts of {$13000.00} and {$4600.00}. I contacted XXXX and Transunion and got their typical barrage of obfuscation and confusing emails, none of which addressed the problem. Then they simply noted the " entries were removed '' but my credit remained dinged by XXXX points. 
I want to know if the Big XXXX credit reporting firms business models rely on keeping people beaten down, downtrodden, and miserable to enhance their profits by selling their services? They seem quick to harm someone but unresponsive in fixing problems. For me, this is very damaging in that it may preclude me from getting a mortgage. Worse yet, credit in this range will likely have an adverse affect on me getting a promotion. 

There is no salient documentation as my complaints were filed with Transunion and XXXX on line and I was unable to save correspondence in their website. There responses did not address, or rectify, the issue. 

Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
A problem was previously resolved where the mortgage company, BSI Financial, put us into foreclosure for supposed missed payments. We filed a complaint with CFPB Claim # XXXX, and this was cleared up and supposedly rescinded as this was their mistake- we made all of our payments and provided proof. We continued to make payments and again they are saying they did not receive payments for XXXX and XXXX although they have attached proof. Our account manager, XXXX XXXX, calls my home harassing us, and refuses to give my wife any information and says she can not speak to her even though she is listed on the loan. Sometimes she does speak to her and other times she says she can not. We are tired of being harassed. We make our payments timely each month and they cash them, then say they did not receive them. Last time it got to the point that they started foreclosure proceedings. This time they are saying they did not receive XXXX payments and are charging us late fees even though they cashed the checks.

On going disputes with BSI Financial Services ( prior complaint case # : XXXX ). 
BSI charged me {$1200.00} for flood insurance that I already have. They even state in their letter that they received confirmation of flood insurance. I also had the same issue with the prior mortgage server XXXX XXXX. My flood insurance expires XXXX XXXX of every year so why are these companies buying flood insurance prior to expiration? Since BSI took over my mortgage XXXX XXXX, 2016, I have constant issues with them. I called them numerous times lately and the answer I now receive is that they sold the mortgage and they can not resolve any past problems. Enclosed are are two years proof of continuous flood insurance. It is apparent that BSI is abusing their customers and are getting away with it.

Company: Veterans Relief Services LLC

Complaint narrative:
We are receiving multiple calls daily from " Veterans Relief Services '' on phone number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which are being placed by some kind of robocall dialing. They claim to be a non-profit organization wanting to help veterans refinance at lower rates. We informed them that we already have a low rate ( 3.25 % for a XXXX fixed rate loan ) and asked them politely not to call again. They have continued to call and are difficult to call back as their mailboxes are always full. I googled their website and the phone number the parent organization is listing online belongs to another unrelated business not affiliated in any way with Veterans Relief Services ( VRS ). They told me they are getting all kinds of calls from people who are angry because they are receiving robocalls from VRS. I suggested they file a complaint with the FCC. I am beginning to log their calls and making notes on my calls back to them and my request for them to cease calling so I can file an FCC complaint as well. I would never engage their services for a loan no matter how good the rates are because they are a nuisance and are illegally using another business ' phone number on their website. I strongly suspect that this is a phishing scam to get people 's personal and financial information. Beware!!!

I had a mortgage with XXXX, they purchased my mortgage from another lender. My taxes were never included in my mortgage. XX/XX/XXXX I fell behind a couple of payments, My mortgage payments were XXXX per month. In XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I sent double payments to catch up. Citimortgage at this time paid some property taxes on my mortgage. Then they took the payments that I sent them for mortgage payments and applied them to taxes they had paid. They said my mortgage payments were now XXXX because they had paid the taxes and I was four months behind on my mortgage because the XXXX payments were not enough to cover the mortgage. I told them that if they were going to escrow taxes that it had to be a change in contractual items not just because they wanted to. Also that it was fraudulent to take payments sent for mortgage payments and apply the to some thing that was not included in the contractual mortgage. I never stooped making payments. I started sending XXXX to cover the XXXX they were paying on my property taxes. I did this because I did not want to get behind on paying my mortgage and the taxes they were paying. I filed a claim with the attorney generals office of New York state. XXXX then sold my mortgage to BSI Financial Service XX/XX/XXXX who I shared this information with who the started saying that I was four months b ehind on my mortgage also. Now BSI is Stating that I need to pay XXXX a month projected increase in property taxes, even though the value assessed by the city and county has decreased.

Complaint narrative:
I have medical bills with XXXX XXXX in XXXX, PA I had been paying {$25.00} on each of the XXXX bills until about a year ago when a rep. called me from XXXX XXXX and we agreed that I make a once a month payment for {$110.00} and some change. I rounded off the payment to {$110.00} a month and sent my payment each month that I received my bill. Well the bills stopped coming in the mail in XX/XX/XXXX and I never heard a word from XXXX XXXX either by mail or by phone regarding any payment issues so I assumed my bills were paid in full and that was the end of it, until yesterday when I checked my mail and found that I had a letter from a Collection Agency ( Financial Recoveries ). This letter includes XXXX unpaid, overdue bills from XXXX XXXX and they are expecting me to pay them in full. First off I was making payments that were agreed upon by myself and XXXX XXXX. How can they just up and send these to collections without properly notifying me that there was a problem? I guess I should have contacted them but life gets busy, especially when my focus is on my health and trying to physically get back on my feet. I have been dealing with major back issues since 2012 and all that comes along with that, like doctors, hospitals and health insurance. I am and have been on XXXX so there is no way I can come up with a lump sum to pay these bills off the way the collection agency wants me too. I just do n't understand why XXXX XXXX stopped billing me and sent me to collections. I was making my agreed payments. 
I sure hope that by writing this letter to you that you can help straighten this mess out for me or at least point me in the right direction. 

Thank you
