Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX, due to my wifes health complications, I applied for a VA Loan Forbearance. The forbearance was extended through XXXX of XXXX, at my request. I notified my mortgage servicer, Pennymac Loan Services , LLC at the end of XXXX that I was able to resume my regularly scheduled payments but that I could not make a lump sum payment for the months in forbearance. I provided a request and detailed reference to the applicable VA Covid Relief program that I was qualified for but Pennymac refused to make such application. Pennymac later stated that the program I requested, the VAPCP, had been discontinued and they were not screening applications after XX/XX/XXXX. This contradicts the official VA website which lists the last date for accepting applications as XXXX, XXXX of XXXX. 

Instead, Pennymac pushed my application toward two other programs which stood to benefit their interest over those of me, the Veteran. This was in direct conflict with the requirements of the VA that the best financial interest of the veteran come first. Many other VA loan holders have told similar stories on various media, including this CFPB website. 

When I recounted my story on a XXXXXXXX XXXX dedicated to complaints about Pennymac 's blatant disregard for those they claim to serve, I was contacted the following day by a representative who said they were going to look into the situation that ended up adding over $ XXXX in payments and taking my loan rate from 3.0 % to 7.65 % and extended my term to 457 months ( I will be over XXXX XXXX XXXX at loan maturity! ).

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information.

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.
