Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I received correspondence from SPS dated XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX in response to several requests where Ive been asking to have my loan deferred, reinstated or modified. All of my requests have been denied. I just can not comprehend their unwillingness to agree to one of these options when Im clearly trying to take care of my obligation. I was initially offered a repayment plan in XXXX, XXXX, & it was closed out for non-payment. I was not able to make the required payment as I was unemployed at the time. The subsequent Forbearance to Reinstate Plan offered in XX/XX/XXXX was {$6800.00} / month for twelve ( 12 ) consecutive months. My previous monthly payment was {$3700.00} / month, which is {$3100.00} less than the proposal. This represents a 55 % increase in my monthly payment. Additionally, this would bring my housing ratio to 66 %, which is unheard of. I asked that the missed payments over the last several months be deferred to the end of the loan, thus extending the term of the loan. At the very least, I requested that my loan be reinstated at the original monthly payment of {$3700.00} nothing less & nothing more. Rates have come down & this payment is clearly in line with the market. Lastly, I asked that the monthly payment be moved to the XXXX of each month as this is when my overrides are paid. As previously notated in my letters, I have been in the mortgage business for 30+ years & XXXX & XXXX were the absolute worst years of my career. I was employed for 5 months in XXXX & 3 months in XXXX.I have lived in my house since XXXX & have raised XXXX boys here this is our home. I am now able & willing to do whatever it takes to bring my account current, within reason of course. I do not want to lose my home & want nothing more than to fulfill my obligation. I've asked SPS to reconsider my requests for deferral, reinstatement, or modification many times. Additionally, I have now reached out to my local, state, & federal government representatives ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, or XXXX XXXX XXXX as this is clearly a violation of the principals & spirit of the CFPB, FTC, XXXX, & the XXXX. Additionally, Im prepared to contact consumer advocates to detail SPSs unwillingness to work with me. Again, as previously stated, I am eager & willing to bring my account current.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This formal complaint concerns unauthorized inquiries appearing on my credit report, made without my consent and lacking a permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). These inquiries are negatively impacting my credit profile and do not meet the FCRAs requirements for accessing a consumers credit report without express authorization. 
Details of Disputed Inquiries : The following inquiries are disputed, as verified by the creditors, who confirmed they were conducted without my knowledge or authorization : XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX TransUnion PARTNERS CRE XX/XX/XXXX TransUnion PARTNERS CRE XX/XX/XXXX TransUnion Legal Basis for Removal : Under the FCRA, specifically Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), access to a credit report is only permissible when explicit consumer consent or a clearly permissible purpose exists. The listed inquiries do not meet these legal requirements. Additionally, under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ), any unverifiable information must be promptly removed from the credit report.

I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureau by submitting a formal dispute letter on XX/XX/XXXX. However, I have not received an adequate response or the removal of the unauthorized inquiries, which I believe constitutes noncompliance with FCRA provisions. 
Supporting Case Law for Removal : Legal precedents reinforce the need for removal of unauthorized inquiries in the absence of a permissible purpose. In Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Association ( 9th Cir. 2010 ), the Ninth Circuit ruled that accessing a credit report without explicit consumer consent or a legitimate purpose constitutes a violation of the FCRA. Furthermore, Dennis v. BEH-1, LLC ( 9th Cir. 2002 ) reaffirms that credit bureaus are obligated to remove all inaccurate or unverifiable information.

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as a supplemental submission to my original complaint filed against XXXX  regarding their failure to delete inaccurate personal information and the improper reinvestigation of a derogatory account reported by Affirm Inc . 
Despite my dispute with XXXX  regarding the Affirm Inc. account ( Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ), the bureau returned a? verified? response in only 15 days? well short of the standard 30-day reinvestigation period established under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This raises concerns about the completeness and legality of the verification process. 
Furthermore, the addresses XXXX  is using to associate me with this account are outdated and have already been challenged in a separate CFPB complaint. These unresolved address issues are directly linked to XXXXXXXX XXXX inability to accurately investigate this account, yet they allowed the negative item to remain.

Key Issues : - XXXX  f

ailed to complete a reasonable reinvestigation under FCRA 611 ( a ). - The item was verified prematurely within 15 days. - Outdated address information continues to influence the outcome of my disputes. - My secondary credit bureaus are frozen, which limits data verification from third-party databases

" I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!
