Experian has failed to act within the XXXX timeframe required by law to block the requested adverse information from my credit report. 

Under Regulation V, 1022.142 ( e ), Experian has violated the following federal requirements : 1022.142 ( e ) ( 1 ) : Adverse information must be blocked within four business days of receiving a valid submission. This deadline has long passed.

1022.142 ( e ) ( 2 ) : If additional documentation was needed, Experian should have notified me within five business days, which has not occurred.

1022.142 ( e ) ( 3 ) - ( 4 ) : Experian can not challenge the facts or circumstances provided in my trafficking documentation.

I am formally requesting the following personal information, accounts, and inquiries be blocked from my credit report immediately : Personal Information to Block : Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Addresses : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Accounts to Block : XXXX XXXX ( XXXX accounts ) XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX accounts ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX accounts ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX accounts ) XXXX XXXX ( XXXX accounts ) XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiries to Block : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is unacceptable.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Foreclosure
Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
-I had begun correspondence with PennyMac back in XXXX of XXXX and was working on a loan modification. I was informed by the PennyMac investigation when speaking with him back in XX/XX/XXXX that while the loan modification was being processed that this should have ceased the foreclosure process. 

-Throughout the correspondence that I was maintaining with PennyMac , I would constantly confirm receipt of items they requested for the modification process to be told that they had received them, just to be notified a couple days later that they didnt get them or they needed something else.

-The initial time that my family and I went on any kind of modification plan was back in XXXX, for when I was out of work with XXXX and then again on XXXX, when my wifes XXXX  closed due to XXXX. 

-We never received ANY notification via postage or email stating that our application for modification had been denied. Even upon speaking to PennyMac employees when I was following up to see where we were with the application, I would be told that it appeared that the documents were still being reviewed by the underwriters. On a couple occasions, I even had staff members state that sometimes the papers will get lost. 

-During this entire process, stating that XXXXnnyMac was attempting to contact me, I had to resubmit authorization letters for PennyMac to speak to my wife, even though her name is on the deed/mortgage. They claimed that they had never received anything giving her authority to speak on my behalf. 

-I spoke with Loss Mitigation on XX/XX/XXXX and was informed that the profit/loss statement for my wifes business was the final document needed, prior to the modification paperwork to go to the underwriters. 

-I will be attaching SEVERAL screenshots to support the argument that my wife and i are presenting in regards to the rebuttal and claims made by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

*The phone record screenshots have several different points were I made contact with PennyMac or Vice Versa, so I dont understand how they claim that they were unsuccessful in reaching me. Those numbers are the XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
Hunter Warfield are illegally reporting derogatory information regarding an apartment collection in the amount of {$5900.00} on my credit report without any legal or proper authorization. I have never signed or authorized any contracts, agreements, or applications with Hunter Warfield, nor have I provided any form of identification that would permit them to legally report such information. Despite multiple requests, Hunter Warfield has failed to provide a copy of any signed documents, including a wet-ink signature, that would validate their claims. Their inability to produce such proof raises serious doubts about the legitimacy of their actions and the validity of their reporting. It is clear that this is not a legitimate credit transaction with this third-party agency. 
In light of their violations, I am not only disputing this inaccurate reporting but will also be filing additional federal and state complaints against Hunter Warfield. Furthermore, I demand proof of my identity, as I have never given this agency any form of authorization to access or report my personal information. Their actions are in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates a permissible purpose for the sharing or reporting of such information. Hunter Warfield failure to adhere to these legal standards has significantly damaged my credit standing, and I expect immediate corrective action. I hereby request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) investigate this matter thoroughly and ensure the removal of this unlawful derogatory information from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Credit Reporting Agencies, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a critical issue regarding my credit report that has been causing me significant distress. An account from XXXX XXXX XXXX has been reported fraudulently, linked to a vehicle purchased using my personal information without my consent. Despite multiple attempts to have this account removed, it remains on my report, which is not only unjust but illegal. 

The fact that someone could misuse my personal information in this way is alarming and has left me feeling vulnerable. If this account has been charged off, it is illegal to continue reporting this debt, especially since it has already been compensated. The ongoing presence of this account is not just a clerical error ; it is severely impacting my credit score and my ability to secure financial opportunities. 

I have already filed complaints with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding this matter, and I am prepared to escalate my actions further if this situation is not resolved promptly. 

Additionally, I am demanding the immediate removal of any accounts associated with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . This company has illegally obtained my private information, including my Social Security number, which is a serious violation of my rights. The unauthorized purchase of my personal data is unacceptable, and I will take legal action if this information is not removed immediately. 

This letter serves as a formal notice. I expect written confirmation that the fraudulent account from XXXX XXXX XXXX and any related records from XXXX XXXX XXXX have been removed from my credit report. Please take this matter seriously and act swiftly. I can not allow this situation to continue impacting my life any longer. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter. I hope for a resolution that allows me to regain my financial integrity. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
