Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of identity theft following a data breach that compromised my personal information. In XX/XX/year>, I discovered multiple credit accounts and tradelines on my consumer credit reports that I did not open, authorize, or benefit from. These accounts were created and used without my knowledge or consent. 

Upon discovery, I immediately took action by filing official Identity Theft Reports with the Federal Trade Commission, monitoring my credit, and disputing the fraudulent accounts with the credit reporting agencies. Despite providing documentation showing that these accounts resulted from identity theft, the negative items continue to be reported and have not been properly blocked or removed.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically Section 605B, credit reporting agencies are required to block information resulting from identity theft within four business days of receiving a valid Identity Theft Report. That requirement has not been met. Continued reporting of these accounts is inaccurate, misleading, and harmful. 

The reporting of these fraudulent accounts has caused significant damage to my credit profile and has required repeated disputes and follow-ups. I am requesting immediate blocking and permanent removal of all identity-theft-related accounts and confirmation that the information will not be reinserted.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than XXXX  days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I made XXXX cash deposits at the ATM at the Chase Bank XXXX XXXX, California. XXXX in the amount of {$3500.00} and the other in the amount of {$2600.00}, for a total of {$6100.00}. When I saw the receipt of the second deposit I noticed that the money went into another account that was not mine so I checked the other receipt and it was the same. I called Chase that night and the fraud department was closed so I had to call the next morning at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX.. I called and the person I talked to said that they see the XXXX deposits totally {$6100.00} and they were was flagged as suspicious. They said I should see the XXXX credits in my account within XXXX business days. I called several more times after that. The next couple of times I called they said the credits will be coming within XXXX to XXXX business days. After that they've been saying that they're denying it because they do not see any evidence of the money being deposited. Even after I sent proof of the XXXX deposits, which I have attached, they are still denying it. I'm pretty sure this falls under financial elder abuse since I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and I can not afford to absorb this amount.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: LAND HOME FINANCIAL SERVICES
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding Land Home Financial Services continued failure to release my escrow funds after my loan was fully paid off. 

In XXXX, Land Home Financial Services issued an escrow refund check for my remaining escrow balance. I never received this check. Since that time, I have contacted Land Home Financial Services multiple times by phone. On each call, I was told that the original check was voided and that a replacement check would be issued. 

However, despite repeated assurances, no replacement check has ever been issued. Each time I follow up, representatives confirm that the prior check is voided but state that the new check has still not been sent. This cycle has repeated multiple times with no resolution. 

I now have an official escrow statement from Land Home Financial Services showing that an escrow balance still exists. Despite this documentation, the company continues to hold my funds. The loan associated with this escrow account is fully paid off, and Land Home Financial Services has no justification for retaining my money. 

This delay is causing direct financial harm. It is currently tax season, and these escrow funds are required to pay my property taxes. Because the funds are being withheld, penalties and interest are accruing daily. I am effectively losing money every day this issue remains unresolved. 

Land Home Financial Services has had ample time to correct this issue and has failed to do so despite repeated contact.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, This letter serves as a formal notice of dispute regarding materially inaccurate credit reporting associated with the above-referenced auto loan account. 

Your records clearly show that this account was paid in full and closed, with the final payment made on XX/XX/XXXX, and a XXXX balance thereafter. Despite this fact, you continue to report multiple months of XXXX ( very late / XXXX days delinquent ) activity throughout XXXX, XXXX, and into XXXX. 

This reporting is factually impossible. A paid and closed account with no balance and no payment obligation can not be delinquent. Continuing to report late payments after payoff constitutes false, misleading, and inaccurate information in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) and 1681s-2 ( b ).

You are hereby demanded to take the following actions immediately : Conduct a lawful and reasonable investigation as required by the FCRA. 

Delete all late payment notations reported after XX/XX/XXXX. 

Correct the payment history to accurately reflect the accounts paid and closed status. 

Update and notify all consumer reporting agencies to whom this inaccurate data was furnished. 

Failure to correct this inaccurate reporting will be documented as willful noncompliance, exposing your organization to statutory damages, actual damages, attorneys fees, and costs under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o.

This letter is being sent in good faith to provide you an opportunity to correct your reporting errors. If the inaccuracies are not fully resolved within the timeframe allowed by law, I am prepared to escalate this matter through formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, state regulators, and through legal remedies if necessary. 

Please provide written confirmation of correction once this matter has been resolved. 

Govern yourself accordingly.
