Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you as the holder of XXXX XXXX account number XXXX to report an issue negatively impacting my credit report that appears to be in violation of the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1666b, as well as other relevant sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements, including all information required by section 1637 ( b ), at least 21 days before the payment due date. This requirement ensures that consumers have sufficient time to receive, review, and make necessary payments without being unfairly penalized for late payments. 

Additionally, the FCRA, specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files.

I have identified that the statements for my Mortgage have not been delivered in compliance with these requirements, resulting in the appearance of late payments on my credit report. This non-compliance has adversely affected my credit score.

I formally request that you investigate and correct any inaccurate information related to these late payments on my credit report. Below are the details of the affected payments : Date of reported late payment : 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 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter to rectify any errors in my credit report.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Foreclosure
Company: SECURITY SERVICE FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The last communication from SSFCU mortgage was about applying for hardship. They did not move forward because of missing bank statements. I don't have XXXX piece of mail or a voicemail asking for these documents. I did not find out I was missing bank statements until I called. While on the phone XXXX weeks ago, the rep stated she would send the hardship packet again and asked me to send in the bank statements. She never mentioned my house was about to go into foreclosure. I have not received any voicemails, or letters about my home going into foreclosure. I feel misled. The statement I got in the mail yesterday is deceptive because it asks me to pay and does not mention anywhere that foreclosure has begun. I got approved for a XXXX withdrawal but it will not be enough to cover attorney fees. I can only pay the amount on XXXX 's loan statement I received yesterday. Every time I call the mortgage, I get re-routed to a collection team and they ask the same questions like, why I became behind, and they choose to get through the same script rather than helping. It is a nightmare calling their mortgage. It's long phone calls before you can speak to anyone and once you do it's a collection team saying the same script that you've heard over and over. Then after their repeated question, they just might transfer you to the mortgage servicing team. It's not a good experience at all and I only feel it is designed this way to deter borrowers from calling them. I tried to send documents to their email and I got a reply email saying the mailbox is full. I did not get a fair opportunity for hardship from them, they never sent XXXX letter saying my home was going into foreclosure, not XXXX voice mail saying my home was going into foreclosure. Again, it is a nightmare calling them and speaking to anyone that will help. You will get re routed, asked the same XXXX questions over and over, and then transferred. An easy hour out of your day wasted to call them.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section XXXX ( b ). 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to follow up on my previous dispute regarding unauthorized credit inquiries that appear on my credit report. According to my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), I formally requested an investigation into the inquiries in question and demanded that they be removed from my report if they were found unauthorized or in error. 

To date, the resolution provided by your office has been unsatisfactory and has failed to adequately address the issues raised in my initial dispute. I am therefore disputing the following unauthorized inquiries again : Disputed Inquiries :

Our loan closing certificate indicates that our monthly automatic payments are {$110.00}. The total amount of the loan was {$38000.00}. The set payments were until XX/XX/XXXX when a target balance of {$27000.00} was required to be met in order to maintain the {$110.00} monthly payment. This XXXX  balance was met on XX/XX/XXXX when a principle payment of {$11000.00} was made bringing the total amount to {$26000.00}. Our payments have been consistently paid via automatic withdrawal in the amount of {$110.00} until XXXX, XXXX ; when the payment was increased to {$110.00}.

We have received emails ostensibly from Goodleap, although lacking sufficient official identification therein, concerning our complaint, from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, neither of which contained an explanation, only that our issue was being investigated. There has been no further communication concerning this matter hence our referral of this issue to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
