Company: Merchants and Medical Credit Corporation, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this dispute because the debt collector failed to fully comply with my debt validation request, which is my right under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( XXXX  ). On XX/XX/year>, I sent a verification letter to M & M Credit requesting complete documentation to validate the alleged debt. Specifically, I requested : A detailed payment history : I asked for an itemized account of all payments and charges related to the debt. Proof of the XXXX authority : I requested documentation such as a sale or purchase agreement that shows they have the legal right to collect on this debt. Proof of my liability : I asked for evidence that I am the individual responsible for this debt, including any documents or agreements that I XXXX have signed. Legal authority to collect in Michigan : I requested proof that they are legally permitted to collect this debt in the state of Michigan. Information on the age of the debt : I asked for details on when the account originally went into default with the original creditor. Because they failed to respond both within the XXXX window and at all, they failed to meet the requirements for proper debt validation, I dispute the legitimacy of this alleged debt. I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that the collector removes this collection from my credit report with the XXXX major credit bureaus, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX.

Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a formal complaint against PennyMac regarding the improper credit reporting of my mortgage during a Disaster Forbearance period. Despite my mortgage being enrolled in the forbearance plan, PennyMac reported my loan as delinquent, which directly contradicts their own stated policies and federal regulations related to disaster relief.

Here are the key issues : Incorrect Credit Reporting : PennyMacs own Disaster Forbearance Policy clearly states that : " Upon entering into a forbearance plan, your loan will be reported as Current and on a forbearance. '' However, despite being enrolled in the program, my loan was reported as delinquent rather than as current and on forbearance, causing significant harm to my credit score.

Late Fees and Payment Reporting : The Disaster Forbearance Plan also states that no late fees will be charged during the forbearance period. Despite this, PennyMac treated my account as if I had missed payments, rather than acknowledging it as under an approved relief program.

Federal Disaster Area Protections : My property was located in a Federal Area Disaster XXXX due to Hurricane Milton, which qualifies me for specific protections under federal law. This includes the proper reporting of my loan status as current and on forbearance, the suspension of late fees, and penalties. PennyMac failed to follow these guidelines, and my account was incorrectly reported as delinquent.

Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), creditors are required to report accurate information to credit bureaus. The misreporting of my mortgage during this time violates the FCRA as it has negatively impacted my credit score and does not reflect the true status of my account during the forbearance period.

Noncompliance with the CARES Act : According to the CARES Act, mortgage servicers are prohibited from reporting accounts as delinquent when they are under forbearance due to a federally declared disaster. PennyMacs actions appear to be noncompliant with the CARES Act, causing undue harm to my credit standing.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the CFPB will assist in resolving this issue to ensure that PennyMac complies with all consumer protection laws and properly addresses my complaint.
