Complaint narrative:
Consumer Name : XXXX XXXX Social Security XXXX : [ Private ] Date of Birth : [ Private ] Subject : Request for Blocking of Fraudulent Information Under FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) Dear [ Credit Reporting Agency ] , I am submitting this formal complaint in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), to request that you block certain information from my consumer credit report. This information is the result of identity theft and must be removed within four ( 4 ) business days of your receipt of this request.

The disputed information includes a personal credit card account that was fraudulently opened in my name, as well as several unauthorized hard inquiries and collections that have subsequently appeared on my consumer FICO credit report.

I do not recognize these accounts, collections, or inquiries, and I did not authorize or initiate any of them.

These entries are fraudulent, inaccurate, and not reflective of any legitimate financial activity on my part. They are entirely the result of identity theft.

To support this request, I have included the following documentation : A list of the fraudulent hard inquiries in question A copy of my consumer FICO credit report showing the disputed accounts, collections, and inquiries A copy of the FTC Identity Theft Report ( Complaint # [ Private ] ) verifying that I am a victim of identity theft and that the above items were fraudulently created Please act promptly in compliance with FCRA 605B and block all fraudulent accounts, collections, and hard inquiries as outlined above from my credit file. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Alabama Housing Finance Authority
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding ongoing issues with my mortgage servicers handling of my escrow account. Specifically : Escrow Shortage with No Payment Records : Despite making regular mortgage payments, my account reflects a continuous increase in my monthly payment amount attributed to escrow shortages. However, my account does not show any documentation of payments being properly received and allocated toward the escrow. This discrepancy raises concerns that my payments are not being applied correctly.

Duplicate Insurance Premium Charges : Earlier this year, I canceled one of two overlapping homeowners insurance policies after four months. Despite this cancellation, I was charged for both insurance premiums for full term. This led to an unnecessary increase in my escrow balance, contributing further to the shortage. 

I have attempted to resolve these issues with my mortgage servicer, but the responses have been inadequate and the errors remain unresolved. These inaccuracies are negatively impacting my finances and potentially my credit.

You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
