Complaint narrative:
PHH Mortgage is now servicing my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  They are responsible for the terms of loan and the data on the loan. First they was told me I was in default because XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX applied my XX/XX/year> payment ( which I made in XX/XX/XXXX, ahead of time ), to principal reduction.. Banks do this because they can then start a foreclosure process saying that I never paid the monthly payment even though I paid it in advance. Now theyve added a random assessed expenses fee to my monthly payment. They can not just do that, thats called predatory loan servicing. I know this because I worked at the FDIC and I helped create the CFBP. Please see the attached statement. They added the fee of {$.00} to my monthly payment calling it excess expenses because I reported them to you for having inaccurate data and telling me I was delinquent on my loan. They are a predatory loan servicing company that needs to be investigated by the CFBP, the FDIC, and the office of the comp controller. They wrote me several letters after the correction was made, but never admitted to the mistake, even though I pay the mortgage in advance. They blamed the whole thing on XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX

It has come to my attention that this bankruptcy is no reporting 100 % accurately to my credit report and there are some inaccuracies within the reporting. It states that the US bankruptcy court is the furnisher, but I asked the bankruptcy court do they report data to any data furnisher and they replied they dont. If they dont furnish any data to you guys then there is no way that they are the data furnisher instead it is you who are the actual furnisher and this account is reporting inaccurately.

Complaint narrative:
Per the previous complaint I deny all accusations in the response. Amex had the nerve to submit verified to the credit bureau and state a payment was made from some account. I had an Amex card back in XXXX for corporate use ( not the account holder ) with a company called XXXX XXXX. This doesnt match any account information. This card was to my understanding closed after the owner was forced to. I again deny all claims and find great insult in accusations made by American Express. I consider this slander and its a great insult to my reputation and causing great stress and aggravation. Amex, You have broken the law under FCRA/FDCPA multiple times. I am taking action in court if this is not removed promptly. Last attempt before I file in special civil.

Complaint narrative:
I addressed the crucial regulations safeguarding consumers under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). These regulations ensure equitable treatment, privacy protection, and accuracy of credit information. Section 602 ( a ) of the FCRA mandates that entities collecting and reporting consumer information must adhere to principles of fairness, neutrality, and privacy, encompassing well-known entities like XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. As an individual subject to their data collection, I retain the right to safeguard my privacy. Furthermore, Section 6801 reinforces Congress 's intent for financial institutions supplying data to credit agencies to uphold the security of personal information. The FCRA also outlines the necessity for written consent prior to the dissemination of consumer information by credit agencies, as delineated in Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ). However, I have not provided written consent to XXXX, XXXX, or Experian, contravening this requirement. Moreover, Section 6802 ( b ) ( c ) stipulates that financial institutions must inform consumers of their right to opt out of information sharing, a requirement that has not been fulfilled in my case. XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX  have reported adverse information about me without obtaining my consent, a violation of Section 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) of the FCRA. Additionally, Section 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) prohibits the dissemination of knowingly inaccurate information, which appears to have occurred in this instance. Furthermore, the FCRA mandates that these entities establish robust procedures to ensure compliance with the law, as outlined in Section 1681e. Unfortunately, it appears that XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX have failed to implement adequate measures, resulting in inaccurate information being included in my credit report. Consequently, I am formally requesting that they cease sharing my information, as permitted by 12 CFR 1016.7. Additionally, I demand the immediate removal of all erroneous entries from my credit report. Failure to adhere to these requests may warrant legal action for willful non-compliance with FCRA regulations. Regarding the removal of student loan information on the credit report, it's imperative to note that The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ),
