Company: LD Holdings Group, LLC
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I initiated a mortgage refinance application ( Loan # XXXX XXXX with XXXX XXXX ( NMLS # XXXX XXXX from LoanDepot on XX/XX/30. During application, I double-checked with XXXX on if Loan Depot can acknowledge the income from my new job as I only started 2 months ago. XXXX confirmed that it won't be a problem and then I agreed on to proceed with paying appraisal deposit. 3 weeks later, I noticed that my application status was turned into inactive. I didn't receive any communication from XXXX or processor about the change. I had to make 20+ phone calls to get connected to XXXX and learned that underwriter denied the application because of my income history. I asked for full refund of appraisal deposit as I was mislead by the promise as income history will not be an issue. XXXX said he need to talk to his manager about the refund and will get back to me that day. I've never heard anything back from him and he never picked up any phone calls.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX and XX/XX/2021, I made XXXX attempts to initiate a dispute with TransUnion against unauthorized inquires on my credit file. After making phone calls and writing a letter, I submitted two complaints to CFPB informing them that TransUnion deliberately refuses to investigate disputes against inquiries. As a follow up to my complaint with CFPB, TransUnion has reached out to me by providing a letter explaining the " Explanation of Inquiries on Your Credit Report. '' They have not offered me a remedy on how to dispute any inquiries on my credit report. TransUnion is the only credit reporting agency which does not allow the consumer to dispute inquiries on their report. Currently, there is a class action lawsuit being brought against TransUnion for this same issue. I am now providing supporting documentation for a newer complaint which will show the webpages where TransUnion allows the consumer to dispute credit account information BUT NOT INQUIRIES. Nowhere listed on their website can anyone select " dispute '' for inquiries. TransUnion 's letters to me in response to my multiple requests for an inquiry dispute did not answer my request for a dispute but avoided the issues I brought forth repeatedly. I have attached two copies of letters I received from TransUnion on XX/XX/2021 and XX/XX/2021 as well as a copy of the webpages from XX/XX/2021 showing NO option to dispute any inquiry. The word " DELETE '' is next to each item that is to be disputed, however this option is not listed under the " inquiries '' section of the dispute pages. This is a violation of the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
Im in the process of purchasing a mortgage loan and I had a dispute remark on my Equifax credit. I needed the remark removed before I could proceed with purchasing the home. Last month in XXXX they was able to remove the remark the same day, but the remark would keep appearing after a week. The remark came back in the beginning of XXXX and I called Equifax to get the remark removed. They told me it could take up to 30 days but the previous month they was removing it the same day! I kept checking every day to see if the item was removed and the customer service reps kept telling me the item was removed. I specifically asked has the item been removed and if my loan provider run my credit will the remark not show. He stated yes its been removed and it will not show. My loan provider ran my credit report and the remark was still showing. This happened two other times this month with Equifax reps telling me the item has been removed. I kept asking to speak to a supervisor and they would hang the phone up in my face or tell me a supervisor isnt available. I spoke with one rep and he told me the previous reps didnt know exactly what they were doing and every time I called they started the dispute over and kept putting in the wrong code for the item to be removed. My item still has not been removed from 3 weeks ago and the seller has decided to take another offer on the house. I have been able to get this matter resolved with XXXX and XXXX immediately, but Equiifax is not being professional and dont have the necessary training. I am speaking to a lawyer about this matter because theyre ruining people livelihoods. I have names of the reps and the supervisor and confirmation numbers. ( Supervisor name ) XXXX XXXX and service rep XXXX XXXX

Hi. This dispute is in response to XXXX XXXX XXXX 
I have a fraudulent account on my credit report that's reporting, and the 3 bureaus wont remove it. I have disputed this account over 5 times with each bureau. The account was opened in XX/XX/2018 around the same time I lost my wallet. I have contacted the creditor also. And they won't delete it. Why am I being punished for a charge off account that I never had? I even sent a police report to the 3 bureaus letting them know I lost my wallet and had a fraudulent account on my credit report. I am suffering during these times because of that unknown charge off account. It's hurting my ability to purchase a home. I have never defaulted on anything. I have perfect payment history. No collections. Why would I default on a XXXX dollar loan? This just doesn't make sense to me. I refuse to pay for something that isn't mine. I need this removed.
