Im honestly stumped. Regardless of how many times I claim to be the individual writing this letter it seems this message is truly missed. For the record, Im the one whos initiating these disputes under my name. The following items are UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming these are fraudulent or of a high risk nature. The documents Ive provided are legit. These are mine, filed with the appropriate agencies & support my position. Lets get the record straight!!! First of all I know that under Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, Ive never sent my documentation to anyone else which seems to be a claim that constitutes high-risk due to potential fraud. According to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute IsFrivolous or irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. ( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. Again, under 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15U.S.C. 1681o ] a person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.

Complaint narrative:
I have had the WORST experience with SWBC and more specifically, XXXX XXXX. 

I contacted XXXX and her team in XX/XX/XXXX. After 9 months of having to email her multiple times starting in XXXX of XXXX, I've had the last straw. She's run my personal credit report three times ( the last of which she didn't even tell me about ), allowed my appraisal report to expire, and not listened to what I've asked for. Today she finally told me, in XX/XX/XXXX, that she won't do my loan. 

The only way I got her to respond after emailing her several times was by emailing her employees. I have provided what they've asked for time and time again and she drug this process out for 9 months. I've had to make changes the last few months which have changed my financial position which is why I contacted SWBC back in XX/XX/XXXX. 

She is the most unprofessional, unhelpful employee in your company and I will be sure to let everyone else know to steer clear of XXXX and SWBC. In the meantime, this delay has caused me a lot of time and money and the ability to refinance my property.
