Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue with the application process
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: AK

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against XXXX XXXX, a Loan Consultant Associate at XXXX XXXX  ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ), with XXXX XXXX : XXXX. My recent interactions with XXXX XXXX during my mortgage application process have raised significant privacy and ethical concerns. 

On XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, XXXX, while attempting to finalize my mortgage application via email, XXXX XXXX provided incorrect information regarding the XXXX XXXX loan requirements. Despite clear evidence and guidance from other Ally loan consultant associates, she refused to correct her erroneous assertions. Her insistence on incorrect guidelines, despite confirmation from XXXX different Ally agents that a XXXX XXXX payment on an income-based repayment plan with documentation is sufficient to proceed, not only impeded my application process but also effectively barred me from eligibility for the loan. It is troubling that a licensed loan consultant is providing incorrect information to potential buyers, which not only undermines the integrity of the loan process but also unfairly disadvantages applicants who are otherwise eligible. 

Subsequently, I was pre-approved for the XXXX XXXX loan by my designated loan officer, which underscores that XXXX XXXX XXXX information was inaccurate and misleading. 

Moreover, XXXX XXXX 's conduct raises serious concerns about privacy and ethical standards. Her statement in our heated emails that she would " continue to follow [ my ] application to see how far this goes, '' despite not being my loan officer, represents an unauthorized and invasive involvement in my personal information. This inappropriate monitoring and handling of my application process, combined with her refusal to rectify her mistakes, not only makes me feel unsafe but constitutes a significant ethical violation. Additionally, XXXX XXXX concerningly brought up my children in our email exchanges, a topic I had not shared with her and which is not pertinent to our conversation. This unwarranted mention further adds to my concerns about her handling of my personal information. 

I am seeking your urgent assistance to address these issues and ensure that appropriate action is taken. I would appreciate your review of this matter and guidance on the next steps. Thank you for your attention.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
