How is it that XXXX sends me emails every 4 days telling me that they have not heard from these companies however Experian sends me a email saying, they have heard from them and been confirmed and they are not changing how they report.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''

Company: CMG Financial Services, Inc.
State: VT

Complaint narrative:
I purchased my property in XX/XX/XXXX with a conventional mortgage with CMG Mortgage. The property taxes were due in XX/XX/XXXX. 

I learned from the XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX that the taxes had not been paid. I called CMG and as told by a representative that they had a record of my property 's tax being paid on XX/XX/XXXX. He said he would email me verification of this in " 24 business hours ''. I have no idea what that timeline is in real life, but I figured by XX/XX/XXXX that it certainly had been longer than that and called and spoke with another representative, She shared that she saw no records indicating a tax payment being made ever and that this was being referred to their tax department. 

I called again a week later, and still no one can tell me when they will pay the taxes, I ask for assurance in writing that I will not be responsible for penalties and interest on the late payment. I'm told that the tax department is handling this and I have nothing to worry about.

I have communicated with CMG three more times- by chat, by message center, and by phone. No one will assure me I will not be responsible for penalties and interest, no one will expedite my request to be removed from escrow, or speak with someone authorized to do that, my town treasurer has still not received the property taxes. 

CMG has lied to me, ignored me, and failed at the most basic of fiduciary responsibilities of a mortgage company.
