Complaint narrative:
Respected XXXX Please help as I am being harassed by these credit bureaus as they are not being fair in their reporting. 
Initially when I was doing short sale and loan modification, XXXX Bank had promised us it would not reflect on our credit reports and the only way the Federal law would allow us to " short sale '' or do " loan modification '' would be by missing payments for XXXX 6 months It has been XXXX 2009 and more than 7 years since the short sale of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and a similar amount of time since the late payments for loan modification for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, but all the XXXX credit bureaus refuse to remove this information inspite of repeated requests, written letters etc. This is adversely affecting our credit reports and scores and we are ending up paying very high monthly mortgage for our primary residence. This is very unfair as all this information per law should be removed once it is 7 years old and any late payment information once its 2 years old, and this is because they repeatedly called and asked us to do it. 
Please see attached letter Due to this reporting my credit score has suffered for past 7 years and I have been paying an APR of XXXX when I can be easily eligible for an APR of XXXX or XXXX for the same Jumbo loan on my primary residence XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX The extra money will help secure my child 's future and education and my wife and child 's security as I am the only earning member of the family I recently had XXXX XXXX at age XXXX and Thank XXXX I am completely XXXX free and expect to live a normal long life for XXXX XXXX years XXXX willing. 
However at this point XXXX and need help from the Federal agency such as yours to correct these issues which are not fair. I know colleagues making much less and recent grads but because of their credit score they got much lower rates. My Child and family are entitled to the same level of security and I need your help I have been trying to refinance my mortgage for past 2 years and after months of paperwork am given the run around. 
All I can request is to please help and have the credit bureaus be fair and remove the negative information from all XXXX reports because in the first place I was promised they would never go on my file and second place it has been more than 7 years since the short sale and more than 2 years since any late payments. 
Please help resolve this as soon as possible, I have XXXX banks in their final stages of refinancing but are giving me higher rates just because of the negative information on my credit reports XXXX Keeping an excellent credit is my number XXXX priority SSN XXXX Thank you and sincerely XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX
