Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Since 2020, I have been disputing a debt with all three credit bureaus. In XXXX, I sent certified dispute letters to all three bureaus, along with all required documents, including my ID and Social Security number. XXXX returned the certified mail green card but has not provided any response regarding the dispute. I have not received the certified return card from Equifax or XXXX. Equifax has repeatedly stalled, asking for more information despite receiving everything they requested. 

I also disputed the debt online, but the investigation results came back as accurate and validated. When I contacted XXXX to ask for documentation on how they validated the debt, I spoke with a representative who was very rude. She informed me that they use an automatic system for disputes and that she was not allowed to share any information about how the debt was validated. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 18 U.S. Code 1028, 15 U.S.C. 1681b, and 15 U.S.C. 6802, I have the right to dispute inaccurate information and to receive documentation validating the debt. I have repeatedly asked for the validation of the debt, including the original purchase agreement, payment history, and proof that the collection agency is licensed to legally collect the debt. Both the credit bureaus and the collection agency have refused to provide this information, which is a violation of my rights under these laws.

I respectfully request the immediate removal of this debt from my credit report, as the bureaus and the collection agency have failed to comply with federal regulations and have repeatedly violated my rights.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I filed a previous complaint # XXXX with Specialized Loan Service LLC which has now changed their name to Shellpoint which was the previous prior name. Specialized refuded our escrow to us by mistake. I filed the complaint and we were to pay the remaining balance of {$4400.00} to get escrow back where it should be and our payment would go back down to the {$5000.00}. We paid the {$4400.00} on XX/XX/year> and were told that Shellpoint would rerun the escrow analysis and our payment would go back down to the {$5000.00} for the XX/XX/year> payment. We received our statment and the payment is still at {$5500.00}. I called and they can not locate the escrow analysis and can not confirm that we paid all the escrow. I spoke to XXXX at Shellpoint on XX/XX/year>. The call was recorded. This is a scam of a mortgage company, constantly changing their names, bad reviews, scams, etc. I want my mortgage payment back down to the correct amount prior to them refunding escrow by mistake. This is their mistake. I do not want them as my mortgage company anymore how can I get another mortgage company without it costing me substantial money? Specialized Loan Service LLC and Shellpoint have done things that should not have been done on my account.

Complaint narrative:
I would like to request the removal of the late payments that have been inaccurately reported on my credit history or without proper validation, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ). Specifically, I am seeking the following : 1. **Correction or removal of the late payments : ** - I request the immediate removal of the late payments reported on the following accounts : - **XXXX** - Account Number : XXXX - Late Payment Date : XX/XX/XXXX - Payment Status : 30 days late - Last Payment Date : XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account XXXX XXXX XXXX - Late Payment Date : XX/XX/XXXX - Payment Status : 30 days late - These accounts reflect late payments that I believe to be inaccurate or improperly validated. According to **15 U.S.C . 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) **, my consumer report should not contain information solely related to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the creditor. Since the payment history and late payments are considered part of these transactions, they negatively impact my credit report and should not have been included without proper verification.

2. **Verification of Billing Procedures ( 15 U.S.C. 1666 ( b ) ) : ** - I am requesting that you provide me with, in writing, the reasonable procedures you have adopted, according to **15 U.S.C . 1666 ( b ) **, to ensure that each periodic statement was mailed to me ( the consumer ) no later than 21 days before the payment due date. Please also include all information required by section 1637 ( b ) of Title 15.

3. **Written confirmation : ** - I ask that I be notified in writing once the late payments have been removed from my credit history, and that I be provided with an updated copy of my credit report.

4. **Prevention of future errors : ** - I request that measures be implemented to prevent future inaccuracies in my credit history. This includes verifying the accuracy of any information before it is sent to the credit bureaus.

5. **Response Period and Assumption of Non-Validation : ** - You have **30 days** from the date you receive this letter to provide me with the information I am requesting. If you do not provide this information in the allotted time given, it will be assumed that you can not verify the late payments on the dates specified above ( due to lacking reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy of my account ). In this case, I would request that you **remove the late payments** from my account and consumer report with the following consumer reporting agencies : **XXXX XXXX XXXX and TransUnion**, and update the accounts to positive.
