Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — An existing modification, forbearance plan, short sale, or other loss mitigation relief
Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I was in an accepted repayment plan after forbearance. And out of the blue they sent a letter terminating it for no valid cause. I had paid the payment for the first month within the month and there customer service said as long as it was paid before the net month it was fine. I request the tapes they made of the conversation. Besides the will not let me pay the payments online as I always have. They are doing everything they can to stop me from paying this forbarance amount. Feel like they are just trying to get my home or raise my interest rate.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
**Complaint Summary : ** I am filing a complaint against the credit bureaus for not removing fraudulent accounts from my consumer report, despite providing all necessary documentation, including a police report, FTC report, identity verification documents ( driver 's license, Social Security card ), and a dispute letter requesting the removal of fraudulent items. The accounts in question do not belong to me, and I have followed the proper steps to report the fraud. 

**Detailed Description : ** I recently checked my consumer credit report and noticed several accounts listed that are fraudulent and do not belong to me. Upon discovering this, I immediately reported the fraud to the police and filed an Identity Theft Report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). I also provided copies of my drivers license, Social Security card, and a dispute letter requesting the removal of these fraudulent accounts. 

Despite submitting the necessary documentation, the credit bureaus have failed to take appropriate action in a timely manner. According to Section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the credit bureaus are required to block and remove fraudulent information within 2-4 business days of receiving notice of identity theft. The FCRA also allows for a 30-day period during which the bureaus can still conduct an investigation, but the fraudulent accounts must be removed or blocked within the initial 2-4 business day window.

I have not received any confirmation that the fraudulent accounts have been blocked or removed from my report. This is a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA. 

I am requesting that the CFPB assist me in ensuring the credit bureaus comply with the FCRA and promptly remove the fraudulent accounts from my report. I also request that any fees or penalties related to this violation be assessed and appropriate action be taken. 

**Documentation Provided : ** - Police report confirming identity theft - FTC Identity Theft Report - Copy of my drivers license - Copy of my Social Security card - Dispute letter requesting the removal of fraudulent accounts
