Consumer complaint received 2022-07-29 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I contacted this company and have disputed in the past. This account was resolved with the company Discover Bank. I will attach a statement from Discover Bank. 

XXXX XXXX Account XXXX. XXXX On XX/XX/2015, A company shown as Discover Bank was reported to my credit report per Credit Report. I have never signed an agreement with this company, and Nore have I ever heard of it. Upon further research, the debitor 's creditor did not verify this collection. Also, there was NO written form of communication/contract or written signature for this accused debt at ALL. A bill without a ( written ) signature does not validate the debt as anybody can send an invoice and say it's min. According to FCRA, this company has violated my rights as a consumer. I'm looking into taking legal action to remove the fallacious account from my credit report immediately! I wanted to see if my dispute could be resolved by taking all necessary steps before taking drastic action.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate which was violated.

EQUIFAX have violated my rights even more. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting, everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report. EQUIFAX, stated my account was properly investigated but how is that possible if the account type, comments, and payment history show inaccurate showing current from XX/XX/XXXX thru XX/XX/XXXX yet the account payment status show Collection/ChargeOff????!!! ( see credit report pulled XX/XX/XXXX vs prior report of XX/XX/XXXX screenshots ). This is still showing the same incorrect and inaccurate information!!!! 

Additionally, the law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me for negligent noncompliance '' ( Section 617 ) which EQUIFAX has failed to comply which I am enforcing my rights under the FCRA. 

This is grounds for REMOVAL!

Company: BSI Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Our loan was acquired by BSI as of XX/XX/2022. Prior to being acquired by BSI we were in the process of going through Loan Modification from COVID relief. The loan modification was almost complete when our loan was sold to BSI. When BSI acquired the loan we were advised that the modification process was completed, however it appears the process has started all over agin. Since XX/XX/2022 our loan has been reporting as more than 300 days late. This was corrected in XXXX when BSI was advised once again of the inaccurate reporting. At that point payments were being made on the account however we were advised that the payments could not be applied towards the loan. We were told by several representatives that we did not need to make payments as the loan modification process was still ongoing and we were still in forbearance. All documentation was sent to BSI as requested to complete the modification process, and were confirmed as received. We have been advised that the credit was in fact reporting incorrectly but that it would be updated. This was as recently as XX/XX/XXXX. AS of XX/XX/XXXX the report is now reflecting that we are {$17000.00} past due. This has caused a significant drop in our credit scores with all three major credit bureaus. According to BSIs mortgage portal we are 330 days past due. They are reporting to the credit bureaus that we are 180 plus days past due. Both of which are discrepancies. According to their site as well our modification is complete. We were told that the VA was giving approximately {$16000.00} to bring the loan current. We have tried to remedy this with multiple different reps with BSI on many different occasions. We have been met with nothing more than rude, condescending agents with attitudes. They are not willing to listen or assist with the issue. We have been told different things by different reps but no one has been actually willing to assist in getting the situation remedied with the exception of XXXX XXXX who we have tried to speak with again but the reps are unwilling to include her in these complaints. Due to the experience that we have had with them, we are shopping for a new mortgage company. However the negative impacts to our credit from the inaccurate reporting is making this far more complicated.
