Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I refinanced my mortgage in XXXX of XXXX. A few months later, a new servicing company, Mr. Cooper took over my loan. Around XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notice from Mr. Cooper that they sent a check to my insurance company to cover my impound account for homeowner 's insurance. I have never had impounds and my loan papers clearly stated as much. I called them and after a very long process involving me and my insurance agent, they agreed with me. I subsequently received a letter stating that they would begin charging me {$120.00} per month to recoup the impounds if I didn't send them the money back. I obtained the money back from my insurance company and sent Mr. Cooper the {$1500.00} they originally sent " on my behalf '' along with letter referencing my account. This month, they charged me {$120.00}. I checked my bank account and they had cashed the check for {$1500.00} weeks earlier. I called Mr. Cooper and they had " accidentally '' applied the money toward my loan. They told me I should have called and checked to see if they did it correctly. I have had to spend hours on the phone trying to straighten this problem out and get my money back and they don't seem to care. They arbitrarily take money without notice and I feel they need to be looked into. Many of my friends and neighbors have loans with Mr. Cooper now and no one is happy with the company and it's " service ''.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
HI Comenity Bank ; : Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent this company a letter requesting that they validate the date and they sent me an itemized bill. The original creditor is trying to make me pay a deductible for services that wasn't performed. I informed my Warranty company XX/XX/XXXX that they did absolutely nothing just came out and didn't even look at the issue and said they can't do anything and they said I am NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR this debt. I then sent a letter to the collection agency on XX/XX/XXXX requesting for them to show proof that services were rendered by this company and they just said the debt was verified that is not accurate and they continue to report this debt on my credit when the Original creditor DOES NOT have proof that they even provided services. I am not in the process of pursuing civil litigation action and even pursuing obtaining a consumer rights attorney regarding the bureaus continuing to collect on this unverified debt. This debt collector as well as the original creditor are continuing the report this and is a violation because they are charging me for services that were never honored by the original creditor. I have filed several disputes with the credit bureaus and they are responsible for the burden of proof and method of verification this debt is not accurate and should be removed!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Hello, My complaint is in regards to my XXXX/XXXX XXXX general credit card. I opened the account in XX/XX/2021 and have used it consistently, have never missed a payment nor have I ever been late on a payment. 

I keep my balances very low as I take my XXXX XXXX very seriously and keep overall balances at approximately XXXX %. 

This particular account consistently fails to report updated, accurate information which has negatively impacted my credit score and at one point prevented me from attaining another line of credit due to inaccurate information on my credit report on my XXXX XXXX card. 

Right now, today for instance, according to my XXXX credit report, I have a balance of {$160.00} and have a 10 % usage percentage. In reality, I have a XXXX balance. The balance of {$160.00} was from back in XXXX. I have used my card every month and have paid off my balances three times since XXXX. 

All three credit bureaus are reporting outdated information for this credit card because XXXX XXXX has not reported correct information. Transunion says I have a {$250.00} balance on this card! It's all wrong and it's unfairly hurting my creditworthiness in the eyes of lenders. 

All three credit reports show XXXX XXXX has not updated my account since XX/XX/2021 ( and even then, the balance was not correct. ) Not only does it incorrectly show a 10 % credit usage on XXXX and XXXX but it shows a whopping 17 % usage on my Transunion report!! Absolutely wrong and UNACCEPTABLE. 
Then to add insult to injury - XXXX is now threatening to remove the account altogether due to *lack of reporting* which will negatively impact my score even further. 

I have spoken to three different people at XXXX XXXX at length. No one can explain why this is happening and each opens a " ticket '' that promises to look into it and I am told I must wait ( yet another ) 30 days for their investigation to be complete as to why they are not reporting correct payment and balance information. Nothing ever updates and I have never once received any confirmation that their investigation was completed. I've worked so incredibly hard to build my credit up and rely on my score for business as well as personal projects. I have a pristine payment history across all lines of credit including this card but XXXX XXXX continues to incorrectly report balances and payment history. 

Also, when I have tried to dispute the balance / payment history with Experian, they tell me I can not dispute it and that I have to just wait for XXXX XXXX to update my account. Then they threaten to remove it altogether due to " lack of reporting. '' ( Insert scream here. )

Company: Convergent Resources, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
CONVERGENT OUTSOURCING, INC. is refusing to remove a collections report from my file. I do not owe Convergent Outsourcing any money. I never paid Convergent Outsourcing any money. I have been trying since the XX/XX/XXXX to get this collection removed from my credit reports. I have filed two disputes. Convergent blocked the disputes because they keep telling the credit report companies that I paid them money when I did not. My account with XXXX XXXX is closed. XXXX said that I don't have a file with them and that I need to clear the matter with Convergent. Convergent says I need to clear the matter with XXXX. Convergent lied and says that I communicated with them about this account two days ago ( XX/XX/XXXX ), which is impossible as that was a Sunday, and I never called them anyway. Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) is the first day I have ever contacted Convergent because I was told to do so by the credit bureaus and XXXX.

Company: FORD MOTOR CREDIT CO.

Complaint narrative:
Ford Motor Company keeps reporting inaccurate information to my XXXX  credit file. I had a closed / past due account with ford motor credit in the amount of {$1100.00}, account # XXXX. I paid the account off to XXXX $ balance with the collection agency. I received a payoff letter from the collection agency XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I supplied XXXX  with the payoff letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX and this collection account was finally updated to XXXX  balance and showed the account as paid. 

About 3-4 weeks later, Ford reported a past due balance of {$1100.00} to my XXXX  credit file AGAIN and they listed the account as OPEN. I spoke with XXXX and I was unable to get any help resolving this matter. Now the account is listed as open and shows a past due balance of {$1100.00}. I've disputed this with XXXX  Three separate times. This is my second time reporting this issue to CFPB.

I need help fixing this issue. Ford is bullying me, their customer service representatives refuse to help me. I do not know what to do anymore. I've supplied proof that I paid this account off, and I still can not get this issue resolved.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I had mailed in a dispute to each bureau on or around XX/XX/XXXX. The dispute was against XXXX XXXX XXXX for incorrect and erroneous reporting that transpired after the settlement of the account in XX/XX/XXXX. This issue was made know during the processing of my mortgage for the purchase of my new home. On XX/XX/XXXX, I had applied for a mortgage to start construction on a new home through a builder. The home slated to be completed in XXXX with closing set on XX/XX/XXXX. Last month, on XX/XX/XXXX, when my loan officer re-pulled final credit needed since my original report had expired, I was made aware of the unacceptable updates made on this account. 

The account in question was a charged off auto loan through XXXX. This loan was settled on XX/XX/XXXX. That was the date of last payment made on this account. This was not an acknowledgement or acceptance of the debt ; it was merely an attempt to help improve my overall credit status to be able to move forward with my life and move my family on to a new home. There shouldve been no subsequent reporting since then ; yet, there were several. Enclosed are the disputes that were sent to each bureau. Additionally, after the submission of these disputes, I was able to obtain a copy of each tri-merged credit report that was pulled for the purchase of my new home. I was also able be accommodated with a breakdown of each bureau, showing the account in question. This was provided by XXXX, the company used by my lender to pull each credit report. In speaking with them, they had informed me of each bureaus specific illegitimate status updates on this account. 

Within the disputes I had requested that each bureau provide me with the information being used to maintain such errors on my credit report and even went as far as requesting a wet ink signature validating that this account was in fact mine. In calling each bureau today, I was informed by Experian that the disputes were final, and no changes were made. I was told by XXXX that the dispute was completed ; however, the rep acknowledged that the initial reason for the dispute was NOT addressed and that a new dispute was re-submitted and that Id have to wait an additional 30 days. XXXX claimed that they hadnt changed the reporting of an old dispute and then alleging that they hadnt received anything in XXXX from me. This is unacceptable being I am at risk of losing my new home that construction is just about complete, along with the substantial deposit that is on hand with the builder.
