Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
As outlined further in the letter sent to XXXX XXXX Mortgage, a fault in the autopayment system of the company caused a reported delinquency in a mortgage payment for my primary residence. Upon explaining the background of the issue, contacting the credit bueraus, and attempting to work with XXXX to remedy the issue ( the account is always paid on time and is not delinquent to this day ), the company has refused to remedy the issue. XXXX is nonresponsive to any further requests or appeals and reiterates solely the a " payment was late '' while failing to recognize the cause of the late payment or the failure of XXXX to properly notify me as the consumer of the issue and how to remedy it. Regarldless of my continued logging in, at no point did the online portal show a delinquency and at all times displayed autopay as being active. I will need to continue the appeal process and move forward with litigation against the company in the event the continue to fail to respond. I would highly recommend against getting a mortgage with this provider.

I have OLD accounts that has been closed for more than 7 years on all 3 of my credit reports XXXX, XXXX and Experian. There are still accounts open that suppose to be closed. I have reached out to all 3 credit reporting agencies filing disputes. I dont understand why after 7 years these accounts are still on my reports. I dont understand why accounts the closed isnt closed! According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, old accounts that are more than 7years should be removed from a consumer credit report.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing, after a CARES Act, COVID-related forbearance, tried to get me to enter into a modification without providing me with information about the fact that my credit score would be ruined, and they reported me late on the forbearance amount without my written approval ( i.e., I never agreed to the modification ), and when I realized the XXXX point drop in my credit score occurred, I asked to have the amount on forbearance deferred, which should not result in an impact on my credit score. That deferment has been completed. During the entire process I have tried to explain this to XXXX through the dispute process, and with Shellpoint, to at least 7 people who all refuse to listen, and simply refer me to XXXX, claiming it is their problem. XXXX tells me it is the mortgage company 's issue, since they reported the modification and that resulted in the point drop. I am very frustrated that this has ruined my credit, which was approx. 125 point higher, and consistently in the very good to excellent category for the past 20 years, until this situation caused by Shellpoint occurred. Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing has also changed from XXXX, to NewRez, to Shellpoint and had many impediments to communicating with me, and vice versa for the past 2 years, exacerbating the situation. One of the specialists that I have worked with, XXXX XXXX, at Shellpoint confided with me that my situation is not atypical, and Shellpoint as a company is customarily doing the same thing to many of their customers, i.e., tricking them into accepting a modification and then condemning them to a dramatically damaged credit rating, which prevents them from seeking another loan from one of their banking competitors. This unfair business practice is a violation of the intent of the CARES Act, which was to allow relief to borrowers during the Global Pandemic, allowing them to reinitiate their payments after the emergency had passed, without detrimental affects on their credit rating, etc. I know I am speaking on behalf of hundreds, if not thousands of borrowers with Shellpoint who once had good credit, and are now stuck with this treacherous and predatory lender. I would like the CFPB to share this complaint with others so that they may avoid this lender, their deceptive practices, and indeed know that they have recourse with the CFPB 's protections and actions. Thank you for your help!

Complaint narrative:
My credit card payment was due on XX/XX/XXXX at Discover -- I never received a statement of notice that the account was late on XX/XX/XXXX -- via email or mail ( I received daily US postal scans ) I have a copy of all scanned mail and none from Discover. I was never notified that I was a day late. I also, contacted XXXX ( case number XXXX ) to verify that I received no email from Discover in the month of XXXX ). Not even my monthly statement that I should have received on XX/XX/XXXX. Therefore, no emails from Discover was received to my XXXX email or Spam folders, etc. I received an email on XX/XX/XXXX that payment was late, of which I paid immediately, the same day. However, Discover had sent late payment with no grace period or notice to the Credit Bureau on XX/XX/XXXX. I should have received some type of communication prior to sending this directly to collections. My credit rating has been XXXX for over 20 years!!! This is unacceptable! Yes, I was late with XXXX being a short month and the day my payment was due, but I was due a NOTICE or GRACE period. I am in the process of seeking legal action. Do I have a case? Thanks in Advance I live in the Maryland area. My address is XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, MD. XXXX -- email address XXXX XXXX

This action was never discussed and / or approved by us. Attached is a copy of our XXXX XXXX XXXX statements, showing this action by SP Servicing, again who was not authorized to take funds from our account.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased 4 Vanilla Visa gift cards. I tried to use them the next day and they didn't work. When I called, they said that there was an activation issue at the store and I would need to send the receipt info. However, they could not determine which store location I bought them from, and since I buy many multiple transactions per day, I could not figure out which store receipt I should send. I sent them a credit card statement for that day, showing the multiple transactions I made. It's been weeks and I still do not have access to my vanilla visa gift cards.
