Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: OneMain Finance Corporation
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX I am writing to report a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act by One Main Financial This creditor has re-aged an account on my credit report, which is a violation of the FCRA XXXX This account should be removed immediately from my credit report. The creditor has reported an account that was closed in XXXX as being open and active in XXXX. This is a clear violation of the FCRA, as it is illegal for creditors to report inaccurate information about accounts that have been closed or paid off. 

Reaging an account is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This act states that creditors must not report inaccurate information about a consumer 's credit history. Reaging an account involves changing the date of delinquency on a consumer 's credit report to make it appear as if the debt is more recent than it actually is. This can have a negative impact on a consumer 's XXXX XXXX and can lead to higher interest rates or even denial of credit. 

I have included documentation with this letter to prove that the account was closed in XXXX and should not be reported as open or active on my credit report. I request that this account be removed from my credit report immediately and that any negative impact it has had on my XXXX XXXX be reversed. 
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
I recently received a copy of my credit report, and I notice there is an unauthorized credit inquiry made by SYNCB/TJX CO DC XXXX XXXX XXXX 2022. To my knowledge, I have not signed any documents authorizing the company in question to view my credit report. The listed inquiry was without authorization, and for no legitimate business purposes. As such, it is a very serious error in reporting. I never authorized such action, and this constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, as well as a violation of my rights to privacy. I am requesting your credit bureau to initiate an investigation and to determine responsible parties in this unauthorized credit inquiry. As part of your investigation, please send the names, business addresses, and phone numbers of those who made unauthorized credit inquiries so I may contact them directly. In addition, I respectfully request a copy of any documents authorizing credit inquiry, and signed by myself, so that I may verify its validity. If you find that I was not the one who authorized this inquiry, I ask that it be removed immediately from my credit file. Please be so kind as to forward me documentation that you have had the unauthorized inquiry removed. If you find that I am in error, then please send me proof of this. Finally, I am requesting an updated copy of my credit report, which should be sent to the address listed above. According to the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1681j, there should be no charge for this report.

Company: SUMMIT FUNDING, INC.
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
I started working with Summit Funding in XX/XX/2022. My credit is in good standing. I have not debt and a credit score of XXXX. Over the course of the relationship, I was not thoroughly explained the process. I began receiving closing documents closer to the closing of my home. On several occasion I questioned the validity of the documents due to inconsistent numbers. When the broker did review the documents, he did not say I would have to pay down points to get my current interest rate of 6.25 %. I was intentionally omitted. 

The day I sign the closing documents I was presented with a document that was entitled Discount Point Disclosure Fee. I was being asked to acknowledge that I bought down points to obtain the rate of 6.25 %. When I refused to sign the form, the company faxed another form with a different rate. The company was now saying that I bought the rate down not form 8.125 % but from 7.5 %. Despite the change in interest rates the cost owed to Summit Funding did not change. It was obvious that the practice was not associate with any real interest rate change. It was a way for the company to double their closing cost fees. 

When the company manager provided an explanation, he advised me it was explained by my loan manager. The closing disclosure stated I would pay Loan Amount ( Points ) at a cost of {$6700.00} ( 1.352 % ). He continued, We are a lender not a broker ( or vis versa ). That is the fee. Again, that is not correct. I was never told that I need to buy down my interest rate. The loan representative discussed a shop lock program on XX/XX/2022, however, I never signed or sent the money requested to hold the rate. 

I looked up Summit funding their website states there closing cost are approximately {$7200.00}. I paid approximately {$13000.00}! The company inflated my interest rate to double my fees. The loan manager skimmed over the closing documents. I did not receive preclosing meeting in accordance to rules and regulations as I was seeing documents for the first time at my closing. I felt pressure to sign the documents in order to not lose the home. 

This company is a predatory lender. Tax domement I received do not reflect the full amount of the closing costs that were paid only the points. I have attached 1. The disclosure forms. Showing the points paid and the additional closing costs. 2. The tax forms that sho
w only the points paid and do not address any additional costs 3. Both Discount Point Fee Disclosure forms. One for 8.125 % and the other 7.5 %. Both documents were sent the day of my closing. I refused to sign. 
4. The Equal Opportunity Notice form signed the day after my closing that indicates the summit representative did not review documents prior to the day of signing. The discount point fee disclosure documents that I refused to sign were not included in the document that I received from the title ( underwriting ) company.
