State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This complaint serves as a formal demand for compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding the handling of my credit report. I have requested the accounts listed below to removed from my credit report due to identity theft. This is my several attempt to resolve this matter. The previous letters have come with XXXX compliance. Your failure to provide verifiable proof and your reliance on generic, non-substantive responses violate federal law and my consumer rights. I will not tolerate these deliberate evasions. 

Despite my repeated disputes, your agency has failed to provide legally required documentation proving the validity of the reported information. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), upon receiving a dispute, you are legally required to conduct a meaningful investigation and provide substantive evidence verifying the accuracy of the disputed accounts. Your boilerplate responses do not meet this legal standard, and your continued negligence constitutes a blatant violation of federal law. 

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), you are required to maintain maximum possible accuracy in consumer credit reports. Your continued reporting of unverified and inaccurate information, despite my multiple disputes, demonstrates reckless disregard for the law and my rights. 
You have 30 days from the date of this letter to provide the following : 1.Actual verification of the disputed account, including original documentation from the data furnisher proving the validity of the debtnot generic statements from the creditor or data furnisher. 
2.A detailed explanation of the investigation conducted, including the specific steps taken to verify the accuracy of the information.

3.The names, contact information, and job titles of the individuals who handled my dispute.

4.A statement confirming removal of any information that can not be fully verified as per 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ).

Failure to comply will result in immediate legal action. I am fully prepared to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my states Attorney General. Additionally, I will explore all legal avenues, including but not limited to, filing a lawsuit for willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which entitles me to statutory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees, and costs. 
This account do not belong to me, as they are fraudulent. The banks have agreed to remove these accounts from my records. Im confused why you still feel theyre reporting accurately. Please see these accounts are fully investigated and VERIFIABLE PROOF IS FORWARED TO ME.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — Delays with the closing process
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Today, Navy Federal Credit Union stated my VA Loan Application was on hold. Mainly, because of a XXXX of XXXX. Consequently, they're unable to move into the last stages of a final approval, then closing. Which was scheduled for XX/XX/year>. Moreover, NFCU is unable to keep my application on hold for an extended amount of time. Meaning, any fees that I've paid up to this point, would be lost. This includes an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$1200.00} and an XXXX XXXX for {$800.00}. From my understanding, NFCU pulled a XXXX on my behalf months ago or, the earlier stages of my submission. Now, no one 's accepting responsibility for knowingly processing an incomplete VA XXXX XXXX, I've lost hundreds of dollars, and it could take months to retrieve a XXXX. Causing my application to be closed and all money lost. If possible, would you please assist me with the matter at hand by identifying a fair resolution for all parties?

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against my loan servicer, 1666B, for inaccurately reporting multiple late payments on my credit report. I was repeatedly told by loan officers at 1666B that my accounts would be paused, placed in forbearance, or temporarily suspended. Based on their instructions, I believed no payments were due during these periods. However, they failed to process the pause correctly and never notified me by email, text, or phone that the loans had become delinquent. As a result, I was unaware of any issues until I reviewed my credit report and saw the late payments listed. I have attempted to dispute these inaccuracies directly with the credit bureaus and with 1666B, but the late payments remain, despite the fact that they are the result of internal error and poor communication by the loan servicer.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX ( formerly XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) and Columbia Debt Recovery LLC dba Genesis regarding improper handling of my security deposit and an unjustified debt collection. 
I vacated my apartment at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX on XXXX XXXX XXXX. Under California Civil Code 1950.5 ( g ) ( 1 ), the landlord was required to provide an itemized list of deductions from my security deposit within 21 days. However, I did not receive the list until XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXover two months late. 
Months later, the alleged debt was referred to a third-party debt collector. I formally disputed the debt and requested documentation. Instead of addressing my dispute, the collector threatened credit reporting and refused to engage unless I hired an attorney. 
I believe this is a violation of both California state law and federal debt collection laws.
