Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the practices of the following companies on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding the inaccurate reporting of my credit information, which I believe to be in violation of both Law 605 ( b ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( USC 1681 ).

According to Law 605 ( b ), a consumer reporting agency must ensure maximum possible accuracy in the information it reports. However, the information reported by the credit bureaus is not only inaccurate but also misleading, causing significant harm to my credit standing and financial well-being. Despite my repeated attempts to rectify this issue directly with the bureaus, they have failed to respond adequately, which is unacceptable.

Furthermore, USC 1681 outlines the responsibilities of credit reporting agencies to conduct reasonable investigations into disputes. It is clear that the bureaus have not adhered to these requirements, as they have neglected to provide evidence to support the claims, nor have they updated or corrected the erroneous information in a timely manner. 

I would like the CFPB to investigate this matter thoroughly and hold the bureaus accountable for blatant disregard of consumer rights and failure to comply with federal regulations and doing a proper investigation. I am prepared to escalate this issue further, including potential legal action, if this matter is not resolved promptly. 


I would like a prompt acknowledgment of this letter and a detailed explanation of the actions the CFPB will take regarding this issue. Please consider this matter urgent, as continued inaccuracies in my credit report will only exacerbate the situation. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
While trying to make a mortgage payment on XX/XX/year>, I could not use the online website because I am on a payment plan due to earlier financial difficulties, and the website does not support payment plan payments. I then tried to make a payment via telephone at XXXX eastern standard time. After accessing my account I was given only one payment option through the automated system. That option was for {$20000.00}. My mortgage payment is {$3800.00}, but I was not allowed to enter that amount. 

I then prompted the system to transfer me to a live agent. Although my call was made at XXXX, I was notified that there were no agents available. I was subsequently told on XX/XX/year>, while complaining to a supervisor via phone, that operators are available until XXXX. None made themselves available to me during my call. 

Phone payments are accepted until XXXX eastern time according to Shellpoint. So I called back at XXXX eastern time to make the payment. Again I was given the single, arbitrary payment option of {$20000.00}, and no help from a live agent. This has resulted in not only a potential 30 day late notation on my credit report, but also having my payment plan terminated. 

Although this is clearly the fault of Shellpoint 's automated phone payment system and the negligence of their agents, I was told by their supervisor that they couldn't accept a late payment and there was nothing they could do to help me.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment was made within the grace period : My records indicate that the payment for the due date in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX was submitted on time, which falls within the creditor 's 15-day grace period. This makes the " 30 days late '' reporting inaccurate. 
No notification of delinquency : I never received any notice or communication from XXXX XXXX regarding a delinquency, which is required by law before reporting a late payment. 
Evidence Provided : I have attached bank statements showing the payment was processed and confirmation emails from XXXX XXXX verifying the receipt of the payment. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my XXXX score. 

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

Per XXXX XXXX, I need a letter from Synchrony Bank stating that this application was fraudulent in order to get the hard inquiry removed from my credit report but Synchrony will not provide this as they have no record of the application to begin with.
