Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have an account with Citi and my credit limit was reduced from {$12000.00} to {$5400.00}. I called the company and spoke with a supervisor who told me because I have delinquent accounts on my credit report. I told him the information was incorrect. The told me to call the credit bureau. The email from Citi stated ( Please note, other than providing information, the reporting agency played no part in our decision and is unable to supply the specific reasons why we decreased your credit limit ). So, why did he lie and said the credit bureau was showing delinquent accounts. I don't have the supervisors name, but I didn't like the manner in which he spoke to me. He clearly stated it was because of my credit bureau. I had just reviewed my XXXX credit file and there were no delinquent accounts on my file. The supervisor then says, he can submit a request to have my credit limit reinstated. He wanted to know my income and if I didn't disclose my income. The reinstatement could not be submitted. I told him I was not because my account should not have been adjusted. He stated, they wanted to know my income to verify if I would be able to make my payments. I have not missed a payment with Citi or any of my other accounts on my credit file. This was unjustly done, and I was first talked to badly by the representative and the supervisor. Trying to explain the information they are giving me is incorrect. I was talked to like I was XXXX. I take my credit very seriously and I would not have called if the information was incorrect. I have another account with Citi and was just given a credit increasement. This makes no sense. This is discrimination.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Complaint narrative:
UWM # XXXX. Our home was completely destroyed in a house fire XX/XX/XXXX. Our homeowners policy has paid in full for the structure. We were going to rebuild but I was diagnosed with an illness with a poor prognosis in XX/XX/XXXX, so we are no longer able to do so. UWM has been notified ( both mortgage and loss drafts sides - loss drafts manages reconstruction finance ) multiple times. The initial funds sent to us to begin construction have been returned to UWM. 
UWM is in possession of more than enough money required to pay off our mortgage. They actually owe us a refund. Those funds are currently split between two UWM departments giving the impression the mortgage is not paid in full. UWM is in possession of ALL insurance proceeds dedicated to the loss of structure. We relayed this to our homeowners insurance carrier who recommended we cancel our policy since we have a destroyed structure, are not rebuilding, and believed UWM would reconcile the funds as we were told they would during one of our phone calls. 
We received notice in the mail that UWM intends to purchase home owners insurance for our property and charge us accordingly. Each attempt at clearing things up with either the mortgage or loss funds side results in the department pointing the finger at the other for responsibility. They act like its impossible for them to speak to one another.
