Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: SCHOOLSFIRST FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This account is has been showing on my consumer credit reports as a charge-off for 7 years plus. Ive been trying to dispute this issue for 2 years now. It is illegal to furnish income on a consumer report. A charge-off, according to the IRS, is income and you must file a 1099-C. They can't charge it off then report it to IRS. Furthermore, ( SCHOOLSFIRST ) is committing tax fraud. As it stands, I have not received a copy of this form. My rights as a consumer are protected under Chapter 41 Title 15 USC 1601 highlights the consumer 's informed use of credit. At the time that I entered this consumer credit transaction, I was uninformed and I did not understand as the information was not clear and conspicuous. The agreement is null and void due to my lack of understanding because of your corporations unfair, deceptive, and misleadingpractices.

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: Home American Mortgage Corp
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I've now missed two closing dates XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX due to no negligence on my part. The underwriter is refusing to approve my loan in spite of being qualified. Each time the closing date is near, the underwriter adds items to be provided. I've had to supply unreasonable documents that have nothing to do with being able to afford the home. I'm a XXXX woman, on the loan alone and I believe a XXXX  woman making my income, close to XXXX, would not be discriminated against the way I am. I've constantly been told " this is the last item needed '', yet right before closing, more things are added. Making it impossible to make closing deadline. They can't lawfully deny me because I qualify, so I'm being discriminated against in hopes I don't comply, so the loan can then be denied. This is unacceptable and I will fight all the way to the Supreme Court if needed to fight this.
