Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
XXXX vehicle returned that had a {$0.00} balance and was never late for XXXX XXXX Services. Lender marked account as a chargeoff when the account was being paid and they were able to collect a debt giving the impression that debt could not be paid when we agreed that I needed more time. They rather prevented payments from being made and marked vehicle as a chargeoff. A dealership offered to purchase vehicle and lender refused to accept process but rather cause me financial harm by making the situation worse. Agreement was that vehicle lease would be extended or purchased once home purchase complete. Lender blocked payment through their site as to make account seem late, manipulating an information system to their benefit thereby affecting loan process for home. XXXX has done similar action in the past where I was told {$0.00} balance after signing lease for new vehicle a balance for damage sent to me days later which is fraudulent business practices which went unchecked. Credit bureau agreed and fixed and when I sent more information for further correction switched to support XXXX without considering my account of events basically being the credit bureau for businesses and not the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I have received a phone call from Commenity Bank every day and they have filled my inbox with voicemails stating my issue has reached an escalated status over the last few months despite when I mailed them and requested specifically written communication exclusively. I requested a copy of the last billing statement from the original creditor, proof of a debt I owe, copies of purchase orders/delivery slips/etc., any late fees that were incurred, and the license number and holder name for the debt collection company. I only received printed pages from the original creditors website with the total amount owed. I've called the company and informed them I've been a victim of identity theft and this account is fraudulent and they have taken no actions to assist in any investigation or dispute. I'm now filing this complaint per the suggestion of my lawyer.

I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage is being paid by XXXX. I am being told three months after payments started payments are not being received. The payments are being received but there is a $ XXXXshortage. I was told by a representative that it is not the companies responsibility to notify a customer there is a payment shortage. My credit report has dropped XXXX points due to this. They are reporting my mortgage account as 30 days late and stating I owe XXXX. When that is not the case. I was not notified my mortgage amount has increased so how am I supposed to know to make any type of payment. The representative I spoke with was more than rude. When I repeated what was being said she would say thats not what she said. The calls are monitored and recorded. I then asked for a supervisor and was placed on hold. To then be hung up on. 

I called back and asked for the last representative name which was not given. 

I recorded the phone call. 



I then was told my account is past due and payment was never received when I have documentation all of the payments in reference have been paid. 

Carrington mortgage representatives continue to tell me my mortgage is 30 days past due for XXXX but have received actually payment from XXXX  XXXX. 

All of this information has been recorded by myself. And I have documentation to prove the amounts being quoted as past due are incorrect. Yet my credit report is reflecting a 30 day delinquency. That per the carrington mortgage representative is not carrington mortgage responsibility to notify a customer of a payment shortage or increase in mortgage payment needed. Yet my account is being paid by a third party XXXX  XXXX. 

At the end of the conversation I was told I could NOT make the payment without a representative although I was told I could make the payment online. 

The ball was definitely dropped by carrington and my credit score is being affected. I have a call recorded to prove this fact. 

Carrington has told me there is nothing they can do about it. But its essentially their fault.
