Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of 2025, I made my last house payment of {$610.00} to Carrington Mortgage Company. I made the payment by phone and spoke with the representative with whom I made the payment. I still owed Carrington {$4000.00} in late fees and this representative advised me that I could fax a letter to Carrington asking that some of these fees be reduced, which I did. He also advised me that since my loan did not mature until XXXX of 2025, I could make three payments to pay off the {$4000.00} by XXXX. On XX/XX/year>, I received a " Notice of Intent to Foreclosure '' letter stating that my XXXX payment of {$610.00} was placed in a " separate suspense account '' and I had not made a payment in XXXX or XXXX and that if I did not pay the entire payoff amount in 35 days from the date on the letter, which was XXXX XXXX, 2025, my loan would be escalated to foreclosure. I spoke with several representatives, including a supervisor, named, XXXX, and each time I was advised I had not made a payment in XXXX and that it did not matter that they were holding my house payment. XXXX advised me that my loan had matured and said, it did not mature until XXXX. After much avoidance, XXXX finally admitted that I was, indeed, 45 days into the foreclosure process and when I asked what happened at 90 days, he advised me that I can refinance my loan or get another type of loan to pay it off. I researched Carrington and found out it was not accredited by the XXXX as it is considered a predatory lending company. My original loan was with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and was sold to Carrington Mortgage. I was able to pay-off the late fees, but I felt like their practice was unethical and I feel like they target vulnerable people. I had the financial resources to pay off my home, but many in my neighborhood would not as I live in an area that is primarily lower-income families.

Complaint narrative:
This letter 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 following 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 zero 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 account. 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 accounts, 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.

The following accounts 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.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Complaint Against Experian Regarding Repeated Charge-Off Reporting on UPGRADEINC Account and Failure to Provide XXXX Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau , I am filing a formal complaint against Experian regarding the inaccurate and potentially unlawful reporting of my XXXX  account # XXXX. 

Nature of the Complaint : While shopping for a vehicle, I reviewed my credit report and discovered that this XXXX account is reported as charged off for XXXX consecutive monthsfrom XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ). 

This repeated monthly reporting of a charge-off is misleading and appears to double-report the derogatory status of the account. A charge-off is a one-time event, not something that should be marked as occurring repeatedly. This repeated reporting creates a false impression of multiple charge-offs and unfairly damages my credit profile. 

Furthermore, I have never received a XXXX form, which would be required by the IRS if XXXX debt had been canceled. The absence of this form raises additional concerns about whether the debt has been XXXX and whether the reporting is legally compliant. 

Legal Concerns : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), Experian is required to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information it includes in consumer reports.

Repeatedly listing a charge-off over multiple months misrepresents the nature of the account status and misleads lenders.

If the debt was canceled, a 1099-C must be issued to both the consumer and the IRS. The lack of such documentation may indicate noncompliance with both credit reporting and tax disclosure obligations.

Complaint narrative:
US BANK has failed to conduct a proper investigation. They have violated 15 usc 1681s-2b A-E and they have not even considered all relevant information regarding the dispute because the inaccuracies are all the same still. This account was also not even marked as disputed on my credit reports so this is a clear indication that these disputes were not processed correctly. This is a violation of 1681n and 1681o for being negligent and willfully non compliant. These debts are also been securitized in a trust so US BANK does not even own the debt anymore. Which is another inaccuracy for putting on my credit report.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this as a new complaint because the CFPB system does not allow edits to existing cases. 

The debt being reported by the credit bureaus is fraudulent. There was no money judgment in the original unlawful detainer caseonly a judgment for possession. The attached letter from the California Department of Real Estate ( XXXX XXXX # XXXX ) confirms this. 

They also confirm that a {$26000.00} debt was illegally manufactured and reported after the case was closed. The firm responsible was not part of the court action and never obtained a monetary judgment. Reporting this debt is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

This complaint includes TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax, who are all currently reporting this false debt on my credit file.
