According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' Equifax and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states '' It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies Equifax and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent.

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — Delays in the application process
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a mortgage assumption in XXXX of 2022 and the assumption process has still not been completed. In the pasts month I emailed all the individuals that I received contact information for with Mr. Cooper as no-one would ever follow-up with me. Here is an excerpt : " I am emailing all of you at once because this is now my XXXX email I have sent to Mr. Cooper associates in the past year. No one has ever responded via email even though I have been told multiple times that this is the means of communication and that the policy is that I will be receiving emails and/or phone call responses within 48 hours of correspondence as my account has been " escalated ''. I've also provided my availability each time I've made a request, and in the XXXX other emails and about XXXX calls I've made since XXXX, I have not received a response during my availability. There are absolutely XXXX acceptable reasons as to why Mr. Cooper has failed to service this account per contract agreement terms. Mr. Cooper 's failures have cost me over a year 's worth of mortgage payments ( not to mention utilities, gas, job opportunities, etc ) due to this not being resolved. This process has been an absolute nightmare and Mr. Cooper 's ( lack and flippant ) actions have been horrendous. '' In the past week I have requested information about the underwriting process twice to the same individuals and have not received any responses. I have also made multiple attempts to get basic questions answered and no-one has provided any responses to these questions. 
I am now on month XXXX since I initially began this process and still can not get Mr. Cooper to provide me with basic information and/or responses to my questions. They have also canceled my application 3 times without notifying me and have pulled my credit twice during this process, giving away my private information to companies not related to my assumption request.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I previously disputed with Equifax directly as well as thru the CFPB website, regarding inaccurate information regarding my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had returned my XXXX XXXX XXXX at the end of XX/XX/XXXX, purchased a XXXX XXXX, and the remainder of the lease was paid in full. My obligation per my lease agreement was satisfied. The balance that was owed to XXXX was for excess Mileage and taxes. I received a Statement from XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, made 2 payments to XXXX. I called XXXX late XX/XX/XXXX or early XX/XX/XXXX to discuss payment options on XXXX. An agreement was made for me to pay {$1000.00} and the account would be closed. Which is what I did. There was Never a Late or Missed Payment. Equifax verified with XXXX that I never made a Late payment, and my Credit Report was updated to Reflect that. I received an updated Credit Report in the mail as well as seeing my Credit Report on my Online account. I thought what ever changes or updated Equifax would do, would generate everywhere. This did not happen.
