Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Title : Dispute and Request for Update of Personal Information I am submitting this complaint against TRANSUNION regarding inaccuracies in my personal information as reported in my credit report.

Details of the Dispute : 1. Incorrect Name : My current legal name is XXXX XXXX XXXX but it is incorrectly listed as [ Incorrect Name ] on my credit report. I request that my name be updated to reflect the correct information.

2. Outdated Address : My current residential address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX, while my credit report shows an outdated address of [ Old Address ]. I request that my current address be updated accordingly. 



Supporting Documentation : I have enclosed copies of supporting documents to verify the accurate information provided above, including : A copy of my driver 's license or passport displaying my correct name.

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Rocket Mortgage manufactures mortgagee escrow account shortages through their Future Escrow Account Activity table. The Net Balance of every transaction line equals the shortage amount ( see XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ), and every transaction ( Payments and Disbursements ) is nullified by an equal and opposite change to the Balance Required. 

Rockets claim the shortage amount is derived from the line at which escrow is at its lowest ( line 28 highlighted ) is bogus, since the same value is the Net Balance on line 1 and every line thereafter. Rocket can pick any number as the Required Minimum Balance constituent of the shortage, as the tables circular logic ensures it will appear on line 28 as its own validation. 

Although the shortage has been used to justify an increase to my Escrow Payment ( {$420.00} to {$440.00} effective XX/XX/XXXX ) actual payments increased to {$460.00}. My current payment includes {$51.00} in ( false ) shortage payments continuing until XX/XX/XXXX ( see XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX ). 

The minimum required escrow account balance should be established by the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, mortgage contract and state law, and remain unchanged other than by one of the above. Escrow payments should be set accordingly.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report.

I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX EXPERIAN XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX SUBJECT : Formal Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Information on My Credit Report! 

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report that I believe is harming my financial well-being. I'm aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and request a through investigation into these inaccuracies, as required by law. 

Recently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a lawsuit against Experian for its failure to properly investigate consumer disputes, citing " sham investigations '' and other unlawful practices. These practices, as outlined by the CFPB, include : Conducting inadequate investigations that fail to address consumer disputes properly. 
Reinserting previously disputed and inaccurate information without explanation. 
Failing to notify consumers about investigation results effectively. 

These allegations highlights systemic issues that directly undermine consumer protections and perpetuate the inclusion of inaccurate information on credit reports. I am deeply concerned that my dispute may be mishandled in a similar manner.
