Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Truist incorrectly applied late fees and reported my mortgage as late in XX/XX/2022 to the credit bureaus. After bringing the issue to the attention of Truist, I was assured in writing that the correction would be made and the fees removed. Despite continued assurances, neither has been corrected and this has been extremely damaging to my financial well being. I am happy to provide all documentation showing where Truist stated this would be corrected and where it still sits on my credit to this day. 

Truist continues to assess late fees every month PRIOR to the date the mortgage is considered late and then reverses the charges a few days later. This practice is deceptive and causing many errors and inaccuracies in my account, as well as hours of my time wasted. Letters are physically sent to my address daily saying that my mortgage is late when it is on time, and emails continue to be sent stating the same. If I have until the XXXX to pay my mortgage, I should not be assessed fees until the XXXX XXXX on XXXX of the month. Truist continues to be inaccurate with my account despite my payments being on time every single month. This is beyond harassment. I am happy to provide documentation and look forward to hearing back in a timely manner.

on XX/XX/23 I was looking into my credit report and noticed an unknown collection from a company name XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had no knowledge of this collection. Apparently, it was from a place that I moved out of last year and when I moved I paid in full. I never had to sign any contract with this original credit nor with this collection company that bought the debt for little money from them. 
On the same day, I called the collection company to request the original contract sign for me since I don own that debt and all the information pertaining to the account and request. the customer service representative started to mock me because of my language she transfer the call to someone else even though I told her I am very capable and able to speak English. She also got upset because I told her that I am not going to give detailed information such as SSC and address because I don't feel comfortable and I don't own that debt. then she proceeds to tell me that I own that debt and I have until the XXXX of XXXX to pay or that I going to lose my credit. 
Attached you can see the last bill I had before moving from that place. on XX/XX/XXXX.

My lender ran my credit and saw I had like XXXX in collections from unisa Inc and I don't even know who these people are.

Complaint narrative:
Experian will not correct the ongoing issue with the following creditor that is reflecting late payments of over 150 days incorrectly : XXXX ( acct # XXXX ) {$3500.00} Payments were noted on XXXX credit report received for XX/XX/2023 ( see attachment ). However the same report reflects no payment data for XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023. Then for XX/XX/2023 the report states 150 days late. This is a discrepancy. How is this possible? 

What is the purpose of the FCRA if bureaus are not correcting these erroneous errors?
