Describe what happen? 

Hey, I was taken advantage of due to malpractice while several laws were being broken under the FCRA by your company. This has caused me financial injury, defamation of character, I can't get approved for my mortgage or apply for credit/loans. This has really hurt my ability to obtain credit which is needed during this time in pandemic. This is not only effecting myself, but my children and family as well. 


What would be a fair resolution to this issue? 

I want all negative items removed from my credit report because you are in direct violation in the FCRA

Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Mortgage Research Center, LLC
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
Since the beginning of my loan with Veteran 's United I have made multiple principal only payments. Each time I've made a principal only payment Veteran 's United system instead makes a regular monthly payment with interest and escrow. In the last 12 months I've called into Veteran 's United, spoken with a human being from Veteran 's United, asked to make a principal only payment -- specifying each time that I want all funds on this payment to go to principal -- and when I check the next day Veteran 's United 's system has instead taken from the payment I made and made a regular monthly payment first ( with interest and escrow ) and then applied the balance to principal. This has happened at least five times in the last 12 months. Each time I call the representative tells me they've made some sort of " hierarchy '' change to my account, but each and every following time I call in to make a principal only payment Veteran 's United 's system first makes a regular payment with interest and escrow and then applies the balance to principal. *****I am convinced that Veteran 's United 's system is doing this to many veterans, not just me. ***** I'm no longer concerned about fixing this problem for me, as I've just resigned to the fact that Veteran 's United has made a conscious decision not to fix this problem ; who I'm concerned about are the likely thousands of other veteran 's that are being cheated by this faulty principal only payment process. I'm not looking for the template answer that will come from Veteran 's United 's representative -- telling you that they take each complaint like this seriously -- I'm looking for proof positive ( something that will convince your agency -- that Veteran 's United will ( a ) reverse this for past Veterans and ( b ) stop it from happening to other veterans in the future. Please feel free to call me or email to get documentation from me of this particular recurring problem. Thank you in advance. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX. )

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FNIS)
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, I tried to lift a security freeze at ChexSystems. With all of the other credit bureaus I am able to log in to my account and place or lift a freeze with ease and within minutes. ChexSystems no longer has accounts in order to take these actions, which should be effortless for the consumer. Instead a pin system is used, which requires antiquated fax or snail mail to receive. Are we living in the dark ages? 

To resolve my issue, I called the company, multiple times, and only get automated messages. Requesting a human support representative I am told no representatives are available, even though it was within the time period representatives are available. This should be illegal. 

This jumping through hoops is going to XXXX up my ability to get a loan with the terms and purchase the new vehicle at the only time I am available to travel to pick it up.
