Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am reaching out because someone tried to open a few different credit card accounts in my name. I was alerted about the fraud by XXXX ( my actual bank ), via their credit monitoring service, that multiple hard inquiries were done on my credit. Hard inquires were done by XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX on my Experian report. XXXX also pulled my XXXX report. The aforementioned applications are fraudulent. I reached out to the credit bureau 's and froze my credit ( the hackers/fraudsters who are impersonating me tried to open an account with XXXX while my credit was frozen but it appears that inquiry was blocked accordingly ). I also reached out to each of the institutions listed above to alert them about the fraud. According to the companies, those applications were marked as fraudulent and are in the process of getting pulled from their systems or an investigation was started by each company. That being said, in order to dispute the hard inquiries on my credit reports I needed to file a complaint with the FTC. When I tried I got transferred over to this website and that basically bring things up to the present moment. With this, I filed a police report with the XXXX Police Department earlier today to make sure all of my bases were covered. I can provide the report number or a copy of the police report upon request. I hope this can help resolve things somewhat cleanly since this is the second time someone tried to open accounts in my name in the past year. I was told fraud alerts were sufficient deterrents against this problem and though they were a good first line of defense, freezing my credit seems to be the only thing that will deter these fraudsters. I make a modest living and I worked for years to get my credit into a good place. Having that tanked by bad actors would quite literally ruin my life. I will be keeping my credit frozen for the foreseeable future and I recommend everyone does the same whether or not they have experienced a situation like mine yet. Thank you in advance for helping to resolve this matter.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Data Mortgage Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Essex Mortgageregarding their handling of my mortgage escrow account. I believe that the company has violated several federal regulations, including those under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ( RESPA ) and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) policies, specifically related to escrow account management and mortgage payment notifications. 
Issues : 1. Failure to Provide Required Escrow Analysis : Essex Mortgagehas failed to provide me with an annual escrow account statement that includes the required escrow analysis as mandated by 12 CFR 1024.17. This statement is critical to ensuring that the amounts collected and disbursed from my escrow account are accurate and compliant with federal regulations. 
2. Failure to Pay Property Taxes : Despite receiving the necessary tax statement from the County Tax Office, Essex Mortgagefailed to pay my property taxes from the funds held in my escrow account. This has resulted in penalties and late fees being assessed against me, which are solely due to the companys negligence. 
3. Lack of Communication and Escrow Statements : There has been a significant lack of communication from Essex Mortgage regarding my escrow account. I have not received the periodic escrow statements or any responses to my inquiries about the status of my escrow account and property tax payments. This lack of transparency is deeply concerning and has caused undue stress and financial strain. 
4. Unexplained Increase in Mortgage Payments Without Proper Notice : My mortgage payments have been consistently increased without any prior notice or explanation from Essex Mortgage. This is in direct violation of CFPB regulations, which require mortgage servicer to provide clear and timely notice of any changes to the payment amount, particularly when those changes are due to adjustments in escrow account calculations.
