Consumer complaint received 2023-08-16 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am emotionally frustrated and disappointed to lodge this formal complaint against the credit reporting agency. Despite my numerous disputes dated [ INSERT THE DATE OF DISPUTES ], XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX have callously disregarded my previous requests. Their failure to uphold reasonable procedures to ensure the utmost accuracy, as mandated by 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), in the credit reports they publish is deeply disheartening. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681i, it is clearly stated that XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax are obliged to conclude the investigation within 30 days from the date they received my dispute and provide a response. However, to my immense frustration, I have not received any response, nor have they taken the necessary steps to address the inaccuracies present in my credit report. 
I've also included the dispute letters that I sent for your reference. I'd like to point out the urgency of the situation and demand that the inaccurate information on my credit report be removed. This demand is based on the violation of both 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i. I am disappointed that the credit rating agencies in question have not reacted quickly to my complaints. It is worrying and aggravating the situation in question that such a lack of urgency has not been addressed. In addition, the information they have provided is not merely incorrect but also misleading. This error of reporting is a significant and material mistake on the part of them.

According to 15 US Code 1681a ( 4 ), consumer reporting agencies must respect my right to privacy but clearly, my right to privacy as a consumer has been violated by you publicly reporting this information when I never gave your organization permission to report my information.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: MIDFIRST BANK
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Was accepted for a Covid deferral back in late XXXX. 
Since early XXXX I Went to get off it and refinance the deferral? I started making payments again. I signed the contract and a couple of days later was contacted by the mortgage company as to a problem with a secondary XXXX from the USDA on my primary that hadv to do with my wife 's separate farm property which my mortgage company already had a subordination agreement from previously. They requested a new subordination agreement from them. Since the farm was up for sale, I went back and forth with everyone about this until the farm was actually sold in XXXX of XXXX. Turns out he USDA filed the lien releases on the farm but not on my primary residence. I received the secondary lien releases for my primary property and filed them in XXXX of this year. Since then I've gone back and forth with the mortgage company about a single equipment lien that they admit they have but because it doesn't have a certain number on it. I've traveled to the county courthouse 5 times and was assured the lien in question was discharged.

Still a problem. I applied to the mortgage company to have the USDA Farm loan officer speak as a third party but they denied it. ( He also spoke with the courthouse previously to assure the lien was discharged ) I told them I would complain to the Congressional office and the next day I received notice it was cleared up, i called and to verify that it was? I received a a new contract ( at almost twice the interest rate then when i started this whole process? which I signed and sent back. 
Only to receive a call again about the title problem. 
And here we are again.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX of adverse action by XXXX from XXXX XXXX advising me of denial of an auto loan applied for on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX Florida, over XXXX  miles from where I live. This denial listed the reasons of too many work phone numbers and too many email addresses to approve the applicant. Neither which would apply to me. Knowing my credit has been frozen for a long time with fraud alerts due to excessive identity theft and I had not done any lifts any time recently, I immediately called the company listed on the letter, gathered all the information they could provide and checked my credit reports. Both XXXX and XXXX looked secure with no changes and no inquiries had been made. Neither had any freeze changes at that time either. Equifax, however, though no freeze had occurred since XXXX, showed a hard inquiry from XXXX on the date on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX had advised that it was odd I had received this letter more than a month after the application and it had long been expired. The credit reporting company listed on this letter was one I was not aware of. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Department in XXXX XXXX, CA. I located their contact information and immediately sent them an email to remove any information they had obtained on me and rescind any they had sent to other companies as it was obviously wrong by the absurd reasons listed on the letter and unauthorized recent of personal information on my Equifax report while under a freeze. I explained that I had NOT applied for any auto loan and I would be reporting this breach of privacy and data to the proper authorities. I received a response that was a request to call them. I declined and reiterated that I was under no obligation to communicate with them and had no knowledge of them or their business with me. The reply I received was borderline threatening and stated there would be an investigation and I was to be possibly notified pending the outcome.
