Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My insurance company remitted a loss draft payment payable to my self and my Servicer Shellpoint Mortgage. Despite approval issued and almost a year now Shellpoint has not released the funds to me. I have paid for the repairs out of pocket, provided them invoices, allowed their third party inspector to visit our home and take photos and confirm work is complete. The Loss Draft department at Shellpoint has told me in writing that the release has been approved and they simply " dont know '' what the problem is nor when it will be resolved.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Vehicle was purchased then totaled by tornado XXXX  months later, GAP coverage was added at time of purchase. The dealership was responsible for sending the GAP payment to XXXX and did not. We followed up at east XXXX times. The last time we followed up the check was finally mailed, received and signed for by the recipient. However, XXXX had not been able to locate the check as of my phone call on XX/XX/24. Because the dealership did not mail the GAP refund check in a timely manner ( it took XXXX  months before they mailed it only for it to not be found ) the account was reported as delinquent. My credit score has been damaged because of this.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The information was deleted by Equifax because I am a victim of identity theft. The fraudulent accounts were XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX accounts ending in XXXX and XXXX. Equifax removed the accounts and then reinserted them under XXXXXXXX XXXX  with the same account numbers ending in XXXX and XXXX. 

Equifax did not send me information on the reinsertion which is required within 5 days a violation of FCRA rules and standards. 

I tried reaching out to XXXX but it is a defunct bank so not sure how they are reporting any information from that bank. Equifax is not honoring the rules of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

I have attached the equifax reports showing they are reporting as XXXXXXXX XXXX which has been in existence since XXXX of XXXX but is showing up on my credit report as of XXXX of XXXX!! 

I am demanding this information be removed from my credit report, immediately.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have a credit freeze on my account with Experian because I've been the victim of identity theft. I recently applied for a new credit card so I needed to unfreeze my account. I tried calling Experian but they do not allow you to speak to a human ( their system doesn't permit it ). It's all automated, but it doesn't always work. Their automated system doesn't recognize validnumberskeyedin on thephonepad ( such as your social security number ). Even though I had entered in the right number, the system wouldn't accept it. I tried to transfer to a person but couldn't. the system says they only transfer you to a person in limited circumstances ( what that means is anyone 's guess ). I had to call back repeatedly. When I tried hitting " XXXX '' or asking for an agent or representative the system kept saying that's not a option, and eventually hung up on me. How can Experian be permitted to hang up on consumers? How can Experian not have people who can answer the phones? 

When one time I was able to reach someone, thepersonwas not based in theUSA. How can an organizationthat controlssuch sensitiveinformation not be based in theUSA? 

Lastly, why can't unfreezes be limited to a particular back or credit card company? The system only permits wholesale unfreezes, which means any bad actor can apply for credit in that open window. Consumers should be able to say please unfreeze my credit only for the XXXX  company.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for financing for a window replacement with XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2024. I was informed that a Soft Inquiry would be ran. Afterwards I received notification that a Hard Check was run ( not a Soft Check as was stated by the representative ). Additionally I went through all documentation provided and there is not one place that states ANY credit check would be ran. I want the Hard Inquiry removed from my credit report and no one at the company can explain why I was given incorrect information or provide me with any documentation showing they were running a hard check. This is a fraudulent practice as they had no right to run that report without my express knowledge and agreement.

Complaint narrative:
The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

This statute, an integral component of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically aims to safeguard consumers against unjust billing practices and mandates the accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment associated with these accounts has been diligently and promptly rendered within the specified timeframes.
