Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation

Complaint narrative:
In late XXXX when we started having heavy rain storms, I noticed portion of the ceiling collapsed in the den area.I immediately notified PHH about this. My home insurance company denied the claim. I asked PHH for some financial help and they told me that I have to wait a whole year for a refinance and suggested a payment deferment or loan modification. During this process, Mortgage companies shouldn't report the mortgage payments as late. They repeatedly report the mortgage account as30 or 60 days late. I submitted 4 different applications and they keep prolonging the process because of me complaining to the 3 bureaus regarding my report.Today XX/XX/28 was my loan modification interview but I asked them to stop the modification appointment and process on the advice of the mortgage servicer I'm currently working with to take over the mortgage. On XXXX XXXX, They reported that the account is in Forbearance further damaging my credit. I feel that this is in retaliation for my many complaints to the 3 bureaus and the new mortgage servicer.

I recently submitted a request for investigation of an Acct Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX Ive submitted enough information regarding the fraudulent account thats open in my name I have provided information for your company to have carried out a reasonable investigation of this dispute. If you had investigated properly rather then using your e-Oscar system you would have noticed that this account is not mine which your companies have claimed to Verified. Since youve obviously neglected to investigate this account thoroughly I am demanding you remove this account off my profile. It is at this time that I will point out the in Cushman v TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( Experian ), and Richardson v. Fleet, Equifax et, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldnt merely Parrot information from the creditors and collection agencies that they have conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and honesty/integrity of the creditors/CA in question. Sending out a generic form through the e-Oscar system that doesnt even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. 

If you dont initiate an investigation regarding my dispute, as it is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Which Im sure you are aware each violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows damages of {$1000.00} should this matter ends up in court. 
I look forward to an expedite resolution of this matter Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
On approximately XX/XX/XXXX, I went into a store to make a purchase of approximately {$60.00}, and the purchase was declined although I had sufficient credit on my card, and the card was a no limit credit card. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I get an email about a separate account that Ive had for the last 6 plus years Ive always paid my bill on time and have even paid the balance in full. Even with this AMEX decreased my credit limit and has sent me an email saying that my credit limit will once again be decreased unless I make a {$1200.00} payment. This is totally an unfair practice due to me having a perfect payment record with AMEX on all my accounts by making payments early and always on time for the last 6 plus years. Even through the pandemic Ive never missed a payment and AMEX is now threatening to reduce my credit limit once again, after doing this approximately 2 years ago and decreasing the limit on my gold card no limit account, thereby causing me embarrassment when attempting to make a {$60.00} purchase, by declining that purchase, although there was sufficient credit to make the purchase. They have reduced my no limit Gold card to approximately {$4500.00} and are threatening to do the same to my blue cash everyday card that I have paid faithfully for the last 6 years. I am a retired XXXX United States XXXX veteran who has honorably served my country and do not deserve AMEXs discriminatory and harassing treatment!
