Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have had my loan for less than 2 years and Truist Financial auto-funded two separate insurance policies in XXXX and XXXX that were not signed for. When speaking to agents in XXXX XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, they advised there system auto funds policies that are sent to them and they do not verify whether the policies are signed for. In both instances, they spent my money to fund policies I never signed for, in addition to the actual policies I signed for. There is XXXX accountability from the finance company to recover the funds they spent of mine in error. They send a cancellation letter out and never follow up or make any other efforts to recover the funds they erroneously spent. In XXXX, they only sent a cancellation letter out after I informed them they funded XXXX policies. I am baffled that such a large banking institution has no controls in place to prevent this from occurring. I am forced into escrow, I requested to be removed in XXXX and I was denied and told my XXXX wasnt low enough to qualify, yet the bank has proven they are not competent enough to manage my money!! After doing my own audit, I came across the XXXX policy funded in error and am only receiving a refund because I inquired about the multiple policies! This mortgage company continued to tell me I was short in my escrow account and raise my monthly payment, which was all due to their lack of competence!! I should not be forced to let them manage my money and then also be 100 % responsible for monitoring their incompetency, recovering my funds, and also paying higher monthly payment because they say my escrow has a shortage!! Where is the responsibility, accountability, due diligence, and controls?!? How many other consumers are out thousands of dollars because the bank wants to save money on people by setting up a half baked automation process that harms customers?? This should be audited immediately!!

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ).

I have previously submitted a formal complaint to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) concerning unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. The reference number for this complaint is ( XXXX ), filed on ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 
After reviewing my recent credit report, I have identified the following inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize : Disputed Inquiry : 1XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  - XX/XX/XXXX 2. XXXX XXXX XXXX  - XX/XX/XXXX 3. XXXX XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX 4. XXXX XXXX  - XX/XX/XXXX 5. XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX 6. XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX 7. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX 8. XXXX XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX 9. XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX 10. XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX 11. XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX 12. XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX 13. XXXX XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX 14. XXXX XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX Basis for Dispute Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) states that I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report.

Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report.

Request I request an immediate investigation into the listed inquiries. If it is determined that these inquiries were made without my authorization or in error, I ask that they be removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once the necessary corrections have been made.

Enclosed is a copy of my identification to verify my identity.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this letter and keep me informed of the progress of your investigation.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Experian for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Experian consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Experian 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Experian complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation. I XXXX XXXX, a consumer, am notifying you that I dispute these alleged debts pursuant to 15 USC 1692G. I request that you provide to me verification of this alleged debt. Verification consists of a formal declaration in where you swear to the truths and statements of the facts of the matter, have first hand knowledge and must be notarized. Since this debt is disputed through the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, you are required to cease all collection of this alleged debt which includes reporting to my consumer report with Experian, Equifax, and Transunion. I hereby inform you that you do not have my consent to communicate with me through any medium. Furthermore, I did not consent to you having my personal and private information. This constitutes aggravated identity theft. I also did not consent to you reporting information in my name to the consumer reporting agencies. Pursuant to 18 USC 8, I owe no debt. These companies are violating my consumer right to privacy pursuant to 15 USC 1681b 2. These companies also have NO permission to report ANYTHING using my info pursuant to 15USC1681 4.

These are the accounts that I've marked as inaccurate and need to be removed from my credit report immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
