Consumer complaint received 2023-10-17 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I would like this invalid account deleted from my credit report immediately. I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding their blatant disregard for my consumer rights in connection with a debt collection account that is erroneously reporting on my credit report. I have taken all necessary steps to rectify this situation, yet I have been met with inaction, lack of communication, and a complete disregard for the regulations set forth in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On XX/XX/2023, I sent certified letters to Experian, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX, respectively, notifying them of a debt collection account that I believe is invalid and should not be reporting on my credit report. The purpose of these letters was to formally request documentation to verify and validate the accuracy of the debt, as well as to initiate an investigation into the matter as outlined by the FCRA. I have meticulously followed all procedures and ensured that each letter was delivered within the stipulated timeframe. 

The certified letters were delivered and received by Experian, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX on or before XX/XX/2023. The tracking numbers for each delivery are as follows : Experian : XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX I urge you to verify the delivery of these letters by visiting www.usps.com/tracking using the provided tracking numbers. Despite the undeniable receipt of my correspondence, I have yet to receive any documentation from XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding the validity of the debt in question. Moreover, I have not been informed of any investigation results from either Experian or XXXX within the mandated XXXX period. 

This situation not only undermines my consumer rights but also tarnishes my creditworthiness unfairly. I have taken the necessary steps to address a concerning discrepancy on my credit report, and the lack of response and cooperation is very frustrating. The disregard for my rights as a consumer is troubling and goes against the very principles that the FCRA aims to uphold. 

I implore the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to take swift action in this matter. Experian, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX must be held accountable for their failure to adhere to the FCRA regulations and for their evident negligence in responding to my inquiries. I request that this account be immediately removed from my credit report.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — Delays in the application process
Company: Better Mortgage, Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a mortgage with Better Mortgage. I work overseas for a large amount of the year ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ). I was very upfront with the loan officer that this was the case. 4 days before the anticipated closing date the mortgage officer decided that my income was foreign and therefore inadmissible for a loan. I have had foreign income disclosed on XXXX of my XXXX last tax returns and was assured multiple times this would not be an issue. I was told I needed a co-signer on my mortgage. My father in law cosigned on my mortgage for me. 

During the same time Better Mortgage contacted my employer multiple times trying to verify my inadmissible income. If the income doesn't qualify why are you contacting my employer? 

After my father in law cosigned for me, my previously acceptable appraisal was sent for a field review, as the loan officer " thought the house was overvalued ''. I was not given a timeline for how long this would take. In XXXX XXXX there is a 5 day grace period to close on a mortgage and that we were supposed to close that day, when I brought this up the Better loan officer said that was my problem not hers. 

When I asked if it was possible to expedite the appraisal I did not get an answer. 

I initially though that Better mortgage was incompetent but this point I am starting to believe that Better mortgage is deliberately trying to delay this mortgage so that I can not close on this house.

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage — Fees or costs after closing
Company: DHI Mortgage Company
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I applied for an FHA mortgage in XXXX XXXX  At the time of the application, I was not informed that there was a previously completed FHA appraisal on the home that was less than my contract offer. Over the following weeks, there was delay after delay after delay and no one would explain the reason for the delays and requests for irrelevant items. More than a month after the contract, the previous FHA appraisal was disclosed. It was only disclosed because the DHI mortgage team had exhausted all efforts to get a new FHA appraisal and hide the previous one from me. They were forced to negotiate in light of the lower appraisal price. During the process of waiting for a clear to close, our mortgage agent stated that I would not be charged the appraisal fee as the appraisal had been done for a previous buyer. Once DHI was not able to get a new appraisal the rest of the settlement process moved fairly quickly. The day of settlement when I received the XXXX, I noticed the appraisal fee was still listed as being paid by the buyer as well as a general category of " seller credits '' in the amount of {$15000.00}. My realtor and I both requested an explanation of 1 ) Why the appraisal fee was still on the XXXX and 2 ) What items were included in the " seller credits. '' My mortgage agent said she would get back to us by the end of the day with the explanation. She did not. In the 6 weeks since settlement, the accounting of what was included in the " seller credits '' has been requested multiple times and has still not been received.
