Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted multiple formal dispute letters to Equifax Information Services LLC regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report ( see attached copies ). Despite clear legal notice, Equifax Information Services LLC continues to willfully report inaccurate data in violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), 1681i, and FDCPA 1692e and 1692f. I have exhausted all attempts to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureau. I now request the CFPB to investigate and enforce compliance.

Complaint narrative:
FCR is fraudulently trying to claim damage to a rental two years after it was resolved. Insurance information was provided to the rental company, and a receipt was provided showing that the agreed amount was paid. Two years later, they were trying to claim damage which was not originally reported. 

The matter was resolved, and we were provided with a receipt showing no further amount was due. They are trying to make the fraudulent claim after the period to file an insurance claim had passed. They failed to file the claim in a timely manner, and the damages they are claiming were not caused by hail damage. We took pictures of the vehicle to show proof of damage, which were submitted to the rental company.

Company: United Collection Bureau, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the validity of a collection account currently being reported by your agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX, on my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report in preparation for purchasing a home, I was surprised to find this collection account. In XX/XX/XXXX, the three major credit reporting agencies enacted new policies regarding medical debt reporting. Under these changes, no medical collection under {$500.00} may be reported, and for debts exceeding this threshold, a minimum of one year must pass from the time of delinquency before they are eligible to appear on a consumer credit report. Furthermore, as of XX/XX/XXXX, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau finalized changes to Regulation V. These updates explicitly prohibit consumer reporting agencies from including medical debt information on credit reports or factoring it into credit scores provided to lenders. This collection is in violation of XXXX XXXX and should be deleted from all credit bureaus.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXVERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court US Bankruptcy Court that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

I was approved for a {$100000.00} loan through XXXX and activated it the same day. I contacted XXXX to confirm my information and to inquire about increasing the loan by {$50000.00}. Although we couldnt complete the increase at that time, I agreed to wait and proceed through the representative my remodeling company recommended. My XXXX  XXXX loan was active and in good standing. 

As the remodeling company pursued the additional funds, XXXX requested documents. I submitted the first, then an additional document for my husband, and finally a set of documents after being included on an email with their rep XXXX. I provided more than requested to move the process forward. 

Instead of progressing, XXXX flagged my account without any communication. I received no return calls and was eventually told by a representative that my case XXXX had nothing left to say to me. My active XXXX XXXX loan was closedwithout cause or direct explanation. 

I am a XXXX, XXXX veteran with XXXX  years of XXXX XXXX XXXX, and this loan was intended for accessibility-related modifications to my home. Ive now incurred a credit check and lost access to funding, despite full cooperation and documentation. 

I even filed a XXXX  complaint, but XXXX still refused to explain why my loan was ultimately revoked. No one will provide a reason or acknowledge what went wrong. 

I am requesting a full explanation, credit protection, and immediate resolution or reactivation of the XXXX  XXXX loan I was approved for and activated in good faith.

Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I was {$680.00} short of my XX/XX/year> mortgage payment, and they were overcharging my Escrow account. I entered into an agreement with PennyMac to pay this shortfall into three monthly payments In addition to my mortgage payment. Payments were made each month as agreed to and they still proceeded to ruin my credit by reporting these payments as late through the credit bureaus though I was making payments each month and havent missed a month. 
It was at the end of this 3 month agreement that I was charged late fees for the amount of {$360.00} and property inspection fees of {$50.00}. I work from home due to my status as a XXXX veteran and this will continue until XXXX  or XXXX retirement which ever comes first. 
Per Penny Macs response, which is enclosed, refer to sections 7 & 14 of your signed Deed of Trust but I want this complaint on record with you or the regulatory agency in charge based on : I never signed anything with Penny Mac. My mortgage was sold by XXXX XXXX  to XXXX XXXX XXXX  then to PennyMac. The Deed of Trust was with All Western Mortgage and unbeknownst to me that this would be bought out by Penny Mac. I should have been given a chance to get out of the mortgage agreement.

Property Inspection per pictures given, and enclosed, were done on XX/XX/year> and only pictures of the outside of the front of my townhouse. No pictures outside of the back of my townhouse and no pictures of the inside of my townhouse. This I was also not given any notice about this and though lender may have the right under section 14 to charge fees its not specific to inspections and based on section 7 a real inspection wasnt performed, just pictures of the neighborhood ( XXXX XXXX XXXX where my townhouse at ) and front of my townhouse which wouldnt have been damaged anyways as its maintained by a HOA You can continue to let these predatory practices continue or be part of the solution. You can clearly see by their own inspection report, that no property inspection was done, and shouldve known anything on the outside is handled by HOA and I am only subject to damage inside the property which was never inspected along with all of their other fraudulent practices i stated here.
