Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
" After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that there was still late payment on my consumer report which have never been late because the creditor failed to provide any proof or evidence so this needs to be corrected immediately to paid as agreed and never late. This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRA 's definitions, rules of construction section. It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the account SHALL be Corrected. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency name liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for willful non-compliance. Please CORRECT this item from my consumer report! According to15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports The Law clearly states : ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I clearly did not give your agency written authorization or written instructions to report this information. Your agency is conspiring with these creditors against me in committing aggravated identity theft and I have sustained defamation of my character, just to name a couple damages should this matter escalate to court. 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures- ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall -- i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I was alerted by my credit card with XXXX XXXX that my credit score dropped XXXX points. When I checked to see why, I noticed that 6 different banks conducted credit checks on me, none of which I requested. They were all conducted on XX/XX/XXXX. I tried to contact Bank of America several times and was told by an automated recording that " due to extenuating circumstances we are unable to help you right now. '' I spoke to someone at XXXX  XXXX and they were unable to help me because I don't have an account with them ( that is part of the problem, why are they running a credit check on me if I don't have an account with them ). At that point I stopped trying to call banks because none of them would help me. I froze my credit on all three credit bureaus and asked for a fraud alert to be put on my account for a year. I need these fraudulent inquiries removed from my report so my credit score can go back up. I used to have excellent credit. 

To summarize, on XX/XX/XXXX, the following banks conducted unauthorized credit checks that were not requested by me : 1. " BK of America '' 2. " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' They all have a removal date of XX/XX/XXXX. 

Lastly, my personal information was compromised in a data breach from my employer this past spring. Yesterday I received a letter from XXXX XXXX  ( a company with which I have a credit card ) stating that they declined an application from me because they are concerned that someone is using my information fraudulently.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Mortgage obtained in XXXX, and included escrow for taxes and insurance. Newrez/Shellpoint collected escrow, but did not remit payments, causing many problems. To clarify, they charged me the escrow but didn't pay the taxes or insurance. I submitted a CFPB and legal complaints, at which time Newrez/Shellpoint eventually paid the outstanding amounts. As part of the settlement, escrow was removed. My reason for requesting this was that Newrez/Shellpoing clearly doesn't understand the point of escrow. They know how to collect, just not pay. And that is the most important part of escrow. So, everything has been fine for 4 years, but in XX/XX/XXXX, I received a new escrow analysis showing that my escrow went up due to normal insurance increases. This would be fine except one small thing, as I mentioned, I don't escrow for taxes or insurance. So, I contacted them once a month for the last 4 months via phone. Each time, they tell me not to worry, it will be handled. Now, as of this month, my extra principal payment was applied to escrow, which is fraud, given that I do not have escrow. Also, it shows next month I need to pay a much larger amount, since the full increased escrow kicks in. So, if i don't pay, they will charge me late fees, but I should not have to pay. So, the escrow needs to be removed immediately AND my new monthly payment should be readjusted back to the P & I only AND all amounts held in escrow need to be RETRO actively applied to the principal, and my interest adjusted. Even if these amounts are small, this needs to happen, as they were fraudulently held.
