Pursuant to section 15 USC 1681 ( a ) under the exclusion section number ( b ) states that anything that is extended or authorize from a credit card should be excluded from the consumer report. According to definition Section 15 USC 1602 ( i ), the term of a credit card means, any card plate, coupon book or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor or services on a credit. 
This is meaning that a credit card from a bank is not allowed on my report, and that not what I mean by a credit card and they are illegally reporting to my consumer report. According to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) section ( e ) such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumer 's credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the Consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2020 I sold my condo and during the closing my HELOC with XXXX XXXX was paid off and both the HELOC and associated checking account was closed. I have had a credit score of 830+ for years, and now suddenly it's plummeting every month because XXXX has reported the checking account as delinquent for some overdue payment. I have called customer service and they told me no accounts are showing as open and that I had to send an email to a seemingly unmanned email address " XXXX '' which I did. I have followed up three times and get no answer. Meanwhile, every month my score drops by 100 points. I wanted to buy a new home, now I can not. Calling XXXX XXXX customer service is a multi-hour affair always, and the email address is a complete void. I have spent at least 15 hours on this and can not get anywhere with them, they just don't care. 

They're basically ruining my life and I have no recourse. No one will help.

Complaint narrative:
LoanDepot representative knew I was working with another lender and stated that they can refinance my home. After paying two lenders Appraiser fees of {$1000.00}, which Loan Depot fee was {$470.00}. Now LoanDepot stated they can not move forward after working with them from approximately late XX/XX/XXXX, provided proof of three incomes, bank statements, tax returns fiscal year XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and paying Appraisal fee which should be refunded. LoanDepot should refund my Appraisal fee of {$470.00} because my Appraisal was over {$100000.00}. than my loan about of {$370000.00}. My house was build in XXXX for {$610000.00}, it is XXXX sq feet, 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, full finish basement, theater room and bar with sink and refrigerator. And, this home was build with special features and has upgrades. The Appraiser report states that my home can be worth {$480000.00} to {$520000.00}. Loan Depot refuse to refund the Appraisal fee before the Appraisal and under duress I moved forward with the Appraisal that is subjective judgement that was stated home worth {$480000.00}, which I can sell for more. 

I was not provided any explanation for not moving forward and no call returns. Loan Depot took my personal information for months and got the approval to move forward and by not moving forward cause me a lost of {$470.00} Appraisal fee, which I want refunded. I just today XX/XX/XXXX seen an email sent to me on XX/XX/XXXX not to move forward. If financial institutes are allow to work in this fashion it will cause a financial impact on the customer credit report for all the different credit pulls and Appraisal fees and confusion with who own your loan due to the inquires.

I sent a letter on XX/XX/2021, asking to reinvestigate the accounts being reported to my file but the bureaus never responded back. It has been over 60 days since then and I have not any response yet. I think I am being taken for granted, being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. 

Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly.

I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Complaint narrative:
This is a continuation of complaint # XXXX. Discover Bank responded by resiting its deposit agreement, never addressed the fact that they did not properly notify me of the illegal garnishment by the state of California. Since the state of California did not have a right to levy my account ( They failed to identify an ID theft case where somebody else filed a tax return using some of my information ) and Discover Bank failed to properly notify me about said levy, I hold this transaction to be illegal, and demand that Discover Bank recover the funds on my behalf before I bring this issue to court.

Complaint narrative:
We applied for forbearance XXXX of XXXX and it was approved for the dates of XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. We sold our home on XX/XX/XXXX and received a paid in full letter from XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. When we had our credit report run on XX/XX/XXXX to purchase a new home, XXXX was reporting our mortgage as being in forbearance but current with no late payments. When a new credit report was pulled on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX was still reporting our mortgage in forbearance BUT also as 60 days late as of XX/XX/XXXX AFTER we had already sold our home and it was paid in full. By reporting our mortgage as 60 days late it hurt our credit. We were also led to believe that if we were current on our loan going into forbearance we would be current coming out of it. We just sold our home before it was over which they said would not be a problem as long as the loan was paid in full which it was. We have contacted XXXX to find a solution and were asked to file a dispute, which we have done. But as our closing date draws near and we are trying to get an update when they are unable or unwilling to help and can only enter new notes to our file.
