Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the resolution provided by XXXX and Experian concerning my credit report disputes. I believe their closure of my complaints lacks strong verifiable proofs and has left me in a state of frustration. 

Both XXXX and Experian have informed me that the disputed accounts were considered valid, yet their explanations indicated uncertainty due to a lack of response from the furnishers of information. In contrast, XXXX has taken a different stance, declaring the disputed account as current and invalid. The inconsistency between these credit bureaus is causing significant distress and has led to the continued reporting of unverified and invalid information on my credit files. 

This situation is undeniably unfair and reflects a lack of diligence on the part of XXXX and Experian. Their failure to thoroughly investigate and resolve discrepancies in my credit report is not only disheartening but also has tangible consequences on my financial standing. 

I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's intervention in reviewing and addressing this matter. I believe that a comprehensive and unbiased investigation is necessary to rectify the inaccuracies in my credit report and ensure fair reporting by all credit bureaus involved.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to follow up on my previous dispute regarding unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report. Despite my initial complaint, I have not received any correspondence or notification confirming the removal of these inquiries from my credit file. What I received was a response that your agency stated these inquiries as verifed. How could you say an inquiry as verified if that has no consent from the consumer?!

Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I took a personal loan from American Express. I made additional payments and specified " principal only '' payments. Therefore, just as is the case with my mortgage, the principal should correspondingly reduce by the amount paid to only the principal. However, AMEX failed to apply the funds to only the principal and instead took the funds as an early payment. Having taken the principal only payment as an early payment, they then failed to take out the scheduled monthly auto-payment. The Amex representative has stated they charge interest at the beginning of the month and not on a per diem basis. The monthly interest takes effect as soon as a payment is made ; the loan is then charged interest for the subsequent month. Therefore, it seems that other than paying off the loan in full, there's no way to pay off the loan for less than the total cost, even though AMEX states there is no pre-payment penalty. The penalty is paying the interest regardless of how soon the loan is paid off. That is a penalty. A principal only payment should be a principal only payment. A monthly auto-payment should not change/ be affected just because an additional payment is made prior to the payment due date. Then, instead of applying the auto-payment on the date it should have deducted, AMEX insists the payment can not be entered retroactively.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
We submitted a file for a loan modification. We did another usual follow up call on XXXX where Phh confirmed the documents were being reviewed. Per rep XXXXid XXXX, she stated the file is under review as of on XX/XX/XXXX. She also stated on XX/XX/XXXX, the application was marked as complete and marked for final review and with underwriting.On XXXX, a letter was mailed out, please see attached. The letter stated that the application was receivedand being reviewed. It stated that they will determine if the application is deemed complete. But per our conversation with the lender PHH they had already stated that the same date the letter was sent out the file was indeedmarked complete and in final review. The rep stated the notes were placed after the letter was sent out deeming the file complete and with underwriting. 
We called back to phh for a status update and they advised that the file was denied and no longer review due to a sale date. How can they have a complete file, advise us the file is complete and with underwriting for final review and then backtrack. That is dual tracking which is illegal.Dual tracking is When a lender pursues foreclosure while simultaneously working with the borrower to mitigate the foreclosure. Dual tracking occurs when a lender receives a loss mitigation application from a defaulting borrower, but proceeds with both foreclosure and loss mitigation options.Per the consumer financial protection bureau it states the following-Restricted Dual-Tracking : Under the CFPBs new rules, dual-tracking when the servicer moves forward with foreclosure while simultaneously working with the borrower to avoid foreclosure is restricted. Servicers can not start a foreclosure proceeding if a borrower has already submitted a complete application for a loan modification or other alternative to foreclosure, and that application is still pending review. 
XXXX XXXX is XXXX XXXX XXXX and has XXXX. I am her daughter and have power of attorney for her which PHH has. This is criminal and XXXX  abuse what they are doing. We are demanding that the file contine to move forward with the review like they previously stated. There is no reason for this to be happening.
