Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding unauthorized accounts appearing on my credit report. Despite my repeated attempts to have these accounts removed, they persist, causing significant damage to my financial reputation and well-being. The accounts in question are in clear violation of 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes. It is evident that the credit bureaus have no permissible purpose to report these fraudulent items without my explicit consent. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

Company: CBC Companies, Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately.

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity.

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

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

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB Representative, I am writing to request your assistance in resolving an issue with my mortgage company, Pennymac loan service, regarding the reporting of late payments on my credit report. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I entered into a forbearance agreement with Pennymac loan service, which was part of a COVID-19 forbearance modification plan.

The forbearance was agreed upon to help me manage the financial difficulties caused by the pandemic, and I have since resumed regular payments as per the modified terms. However, I recently reviewed my credit report and noticed that late payments were reported during the forbearance period. This reporting is not only inaccurate but also negatively impacts my credit score and overall financial health.

I believe these late payments should not have been reported, as they occurred during a period when my mortgage payments were on hold due to the forbearance plan. Under the CARES Act, mortgage servicers are required to report accounts in forbearance as current if the account was current when the forbearance was granted. My account was in good standing before the forbearance was initiated, and I have made every effort to comply with the terms of the modification.

I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with Pennymac, but I have not yet received a satisfactory resolution. Therefore, I am seeking the CFPBs intervention to help ensure that my credit report accurately reflects my payment history.
