Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: BSI Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
My wife and i purchased an income property in XX/XX/XXXX. Bsi is the lender. At the end of XXXX i received notice that there was a shortage in my escrow and that my mortgage payment will increase from {$970.00} to {$1500.00}. I reached out to the mortgage company. They explained that the shortage was due to me not having the property insured and that they had to get insurance on my behalf. This caught me off guard because I was unaware that my insurance company dropped me. Even more important, I never received any written notification of any forced placed insurance being placed on the property prior to the mortgage company acting. In fact the insurance company didn't notify me either. The insurance policy was cancelled in XXXX of XXXX. I found out XXXX of XXXX. The policy has been reinstated and the mortgage co has been sent proof of the new insurance. I have tried to reason with the mortgage company to reassess my inflated mortgage payment but, they are uncooperative. The mortgage company did not send an intent to contract a forced placed insurance prior to doing it.

BUT you there at TransUnion have some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not block the accounts because they feel they're above the law. When asked why they're not accepting the FTC report they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
There is a collection from XXXX on my credit report. I have been disputing this collection for MONTHS. Continuously telling the bureaus that I have not done business with this company, continuously asking them to validate the debt and nothing ever happens except them saying " verified ''. This thing has so many issues. They acknowledge my dispute with no proof of validation which is completely against the law, the current balance is lower than the high balance, it says date of last activity for XXXX was XX/XX/XXXX but how? Date of last activity for Experian says XXXX. I don't even know who these people are. My rights have been violated and my credit file is suffering. I have been denied credit due to this. I didn't want to go as far as hiring an attorney but if this is not removed within 30 days I will be hiring a attorney to represent me in court. 
This complaint serves as the final demand for proof of validation. While this is being disputed I also demand removal from my report & cease of collection.
