Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern at Transunion, On XX/XX/2024 I contacted Tranunion and I am writing to express my utmost frustration and disappointment with the service I received from one of your employees, " XXXX, '' in the Special Handling Department. Our conversation revolved around my request for an investigation into a letter regarding another investigation, and while " XXXX XXXX promised a resolution, she ultimately ended the call abruptly and unprofessionally after keeping me on hold for over XXXX hours. This level of disrespect and unprofessionalism from a customer service representative is simply unacceptable. 

Throughout our conversation, I was given conflicting information by " XXXX '' - first, she stated the issue was due to an incorrect address, and then later claimed it was due to the FCRA law. When I requested the specific section of the law for my own understanding, she refused to provide it and instead chose to hang up on me. As a retired XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX veteran, who has served my country with honor, I should not be treated with such disregard and lack of respect. 

It is concerning to see that an employee of your company would behave in such a manner. I have taken the liberty of recording the entire conversation for my own records and for my attorney 's review. I am deeply disappointed in the lack of professionalism and respect shown during this interaction. I hope that appropriate steps will be taken to ensure that no other customer has to endure such poor treatment in the future.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Synovus Bank
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding an inaccurate late payment reporting from FSTPROGRESS ( First Progress ) on my XXXX credit report. This account is listed as " Late 90 Days '' on XXXX, while XXXX and XXXX report it as " Current '' and in good standing. This discrepancy is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 623 ( 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ), which mandates that furnishers of information, such as First Progress, maintain accurate and complete records. Despite my account being closed, fully paid, and reflecting a XXXX balance, XXXX continues to report this late payment inaccurately. 

I have reviewed my payment history and have never been late on this account. The inaccurate late payment marks have significantly impacted my credit score and are unjustified. 

Breakdown of the Data : Account Type : Revolving ( Credit Card ) Account Status : Paid/Closed across all bureaus. 
Balance : {$0.00} across all bureaus. 
Date Opened : XX/XX/2023 ( XXXX : XX/XX/2023, XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 ) High Credit : {$180.00} on XXXX, {$300.00} XXXX XXXX Credit Limit : {$300.00} XXXX XXXX, {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Status : XXXX : XXXX XXXX : Late 90 Days ( inaccurate ) XXXX : Current Date of Last Activity/Payment : No late payments reported on XXXX and XXXX, yet XXXX inaccurately reports late payments for XX/XX/2023 XXXX XX/XX/2023, and XX/XX/2023. 
The reporting across the three bureaus should be consistent and aligned, but XXXX report inaccurately reflects late payments despite the account being paid and closed, as confirmed by the other credit bureaus. This inaccurate information is a violation of FCRA 's Section 623, which requires accurate reporting by furnishers. 

I kindly request that this error be investigated and removed from my credit report as it is inaccurate and damaging to my creditworthiness.

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
To Newrez, LLC, Per your Escalation Department at Shellpoint Servicing, Ive requested duplicative correspondences which only two responses were given. It took them months after duplicative correspondences to receive information that two of my monthly payments were applied to the principal only. Im still waiting for the mortgagee to provide signed documentation of my request to apply two of my monthly payments to the principal only. They have not provided that document yet as well as my signature document whereas the mortgagee can apply monthly payments as they wish. Then you all had the audacity to apply late fees on payments that was missed handle. 
According to your servicing company, Ive made duplicative correspondences on receiving my out of pocket reimbursement ( {$1900.00} ) for paying XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I never told them in the duplicative correspondence that it was an overpayment. The payment was never made by the mortgagee, but by the debtor. Obviously, you know the payment should have been sent from my escrow account and wasnt. 
Why was it necessary for Shellpoint Mortgage Svc to make an account review inquiry on my credit disclosure on XX/XX/year> with XXXX, XXXX?

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being.

Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.
