As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report.

Company: United Shore Financial Services, LLC
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am a borrower with United Wholesale Mortgage ( UWM ). In XX/XX/year>, I made all mortgage payments on time, including a regular payment on XX/XX/XXXX, a partial early payment on XX/XX/XXXX, and a final portion on XX/XX/XXXX to complete the XX/XX/year> mortgage. Due to an internal system issue on UWMs side, a lack of payment hierarchy, the funds were held as unapplied and a late notice was issued on XX/XX/XXXX. 

3 separate UWM representatives assured me the issue would be corrected and this would not affect my credit and confirmed the issue was on their end. However, a late payment was reported anyway, causing a XXXX drop in my credit score. 

This error is jeopardizing the renewal of my military clearance and caused the loss of a higher paying job opportunity as well as the loss of Top Secret security clearance eligibility. My mortgage has since been transferred to another division within UWM, but no one is able to assist due to good standing status, and I can not get in touch with the old division. I have called and emailed several contacts provided, including the executive resolutions team, with no response.

I am requesting the CFPB assist in getting this corrected immediately. I have documentation of timely payments.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
Midland Credit Management filed a lawsuit against me for multiple accounts they claim to have purchased from other creditors. I have formally disputed the validity of these debts and requested full documentation, including : The original signed agreements for each account A full payment history The complete chain of assignment, including Forward Flow Agreements and Assignments of Purchase, with my identifying information Midland did not provide this documentation. Instead, they submitted internally created affidavits from their employees stating that they are the owner of the debts. These affidavits only include partial account numbers ( e.g., " XXXX '' ) and do not attach the actual assignments, contracts, or original creditor records.

This does not constitute legal proof of ownership or standing to sue. I have filed a motion to dismiss in court based on their failure to validate the debts or establish legal right to collect.

I believe this lawsuit violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by misrepresenting the nature of the debts and proceeding with legal action without adequate documentation.

I am requesting your office investigate Midland Credit Managements debt collection practices and require them to cease legal action and reporting unless full and proper validation is provided.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX To : TransUnion Consumer Solutions , XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Equifax Information Services LLC, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Experian Dispute Department, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate and Misleading Reporting XXXX XXXX  XXXX/Home Loan Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of the following account appearing on my credit reports with your agency : Creditor : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( or XXXX XXXX ) Account Number : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Type : Home Loan Status : 90 Days Late Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Condition : Closed Balance : {$0.00} Date Reported : XX/XX/XXXX Count of Late Payments : 6 This account is inaccurately and unfairly reported on my credit file for the following reasons : * Why This Should Be Removed Account is Closed and Paid Off Yet Still Showing Late The account is reported as Closed, with a {$0.00} balance, {$0.00} past due, and no ongoing responsibility. However, the status still shows 90 Days Late, and 6 late payments remain on record despite the account being settled and no longer delinquent. Continuing to show the account as late despite being closed and settled is misleading and does not reflect my current credit standing.

* High Balance Misreporting Between Bureaus I also noticed significant inconsistencies in how the high balance is reported across bureaus : * TransUnion and Equifax report a high balance of {$320000.00}.

Experian reports a high balance of {$0.00}.

This discrepancy indicates that at least one bureau is reporting incorrect information and suggests that the data from the furnisher is unreliable.

* FCRA : Accurate and Complete Reporting Required Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), all information reported on a consumers credit file must be accurate, complete, and not misleading. Reporting a {$0.00} balance, {$0.00} past due, yet keeping the derogatory 90 Days Late and 6 late payments active misrepresents the account and harms my creditworthiness unnecessarily.

* Account Was Resolved Years Ago Unfair Damage to Credit Profile The account was opened in XXXX  and has since been closed, yet derogatory remarks continue to weigh on my report nearly a decade later. This does not fairly reflect my current financial responsibility or payment behavior.

My accounts were always on time! I have a wonderful payment history, and every payment was set up on autopay. They processed the transaction incorrectly on their end, which is why this late payment is being reported. 

I demand the late payment reported to be updated. 

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!
