I have made several attempts via certified letters to Conn 's ranging from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX to resolve the incorrect information that is being reported on my credit report. Currently, the account has been updated to charge-off status with a balance of {$220.00} being listed.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am a retired XXXXyr old Veteran with XXXX XXXX service in XXXX on a fixed income. I was retired in XXXX and went into a severe financial crisis by the loss of 2/3 of my income. I have been scammed by several Modification outfits and got no results. I have simply been trying to get an affordable monthly payment that I can make without being broke every month. It took me 2yrs to get my full retirement and that is what started this situation. I was an XXXX in XXXX XXXX with the rank of XXXX XXXX and a rating of XXXX in civil service ( 29yrs ). My daughter and myself lived on {$1700.00} per month for over a year, Even after getting full retirement, I only bring home a little over {$3500.00} per month. When retired my monthly mortgage payment was {$1300.00}. It is not hard to see that one can not make that payment on {$1700.00} per month and still live. I have tried many times to get a fair payment that I can make, to no avail. The supposed loan started in XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX. We live in a small XXXX Florida town and I have found out that XXXX was not licensed or authorized to work in Florida then. The mortgage has been sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and is currently serviced by Carrington Mortgage Service. We have recently been served with a summons Lawsuit of Foreclosure. I have been here for 27yrs and it is the only real home I have ever had. My daughter had XXXX for 6yrs and it is the only home she has ever known. To the corporations this is a property, but to us it is our home. I feel that at this time, I can make a {$600.00} per month mortgage payment. If only the mortgage company would work with me. I did have a Forensic Investigation done on my mortgage and they found several discrepancies. I am not trying to get something for nothing, I just want my daughter and myself to stay in our home. Oh, something I forgot, I was divorced in XXXX just prior to retirement. That did not help the financial situation either.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have sent two disputes to Experian, most recent one being XX/XX/2018, regarding inaccurate name and address appearing on my credit report. I have never lived at that address nor gone by that name. I have been told that since name is attached to tradelines it can not be removed. I have contacted these tradelines and they do not have the name associated with my account so I have exhausted all avenues in regards to getting inaccurate name and address removed. The address and name does not belong to me. I have even provided a copy of my drivers license for verification and they still refuse to remove the inaccurate information. Just because it " appears '' on tradelines does not make it accurate. Below are the items that do not belong to me that they continue to report illegally : Name : XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IN XXXX

When I counted the number of days from the time I purchase the TV till the time the statement came out it was exactly 60 days, which left me no time for recourse on this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I have contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX on several occasions via certified letters ranging from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, to resolve this matter. Currently on my credit report, there are two missed payments showing for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I applied for a forbearance on my loans as I was recently laid off from my job at the time and was experiencing a financial hardship. It was my expectation that the forbearance would only take a few days to process and therefore be applied to my account timely. I was never informed the processing time could take longer than 30 days and never directed on when to reapply, check the status and/or make payments to my loans. It is my wish that the missed payments are updated to be within good standing and reflect the forbearance during those months.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I deposited three ( 3 ) checks at the Bank of America ATM. Because the teller told me that the lines were too long inside, so I had to go use the ATM. So, I used my ATM card and tried to deposit the checks. The ATM " ate '' my checks and then just shut down. No receipt, no confirmation, no nothing. I immediately called the number on the ATM machine. The service agent who assisted me seemed to be understanding and helpful. She said that she would credit me the amount of the checks immediately while the worked on getting the checks from the ATM. Imagine my surprise when 2 months later, I get a notice from BofA saying basically, " Too bad, you lied about the checks, we couldn't find anything to support your claim, so we're taking the credit back from you. '' And so they took back my money!!! 

This is poor banking, to say nothing of customer service. Bank of America needs to take responsibility of its ATM machines and technicians. Especially if they don't want to help the customers inside the branches and are making customers go and use the ATM 's.

Equifax has persisted in identifying me as " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' on my Equifax credit reports, despite the fact that I have notified them on 3 occasions over the past 2 years that this is incorrect. My birth name and my legal name is " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' ; never have I represented myself as " XXXX XXXX XXXX. '' I have filed disputes with Equifax over these and spoken with their customer service, and despite these efforts, they refuse to correct my personal information. I was under the belief that the credit reporting companies were not allowed to knowingly publish false information. I'm including an attachment from my Equifax online account which clearly demonstrates that, of this date, Equifax continues to erroneously identify me as " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. ''
