Consumer complaint received 2024-12-30 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Self Financial Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
The creditor has committed a FCRA violation due to reporting in accurate information! According to Section 623 of the FCRA and Regulation V that a furnisher must not furnish inaccurate consumer information to a CRA!

The creditor reported a 12 month trade line to be an opened for four years! 
The creditor is reporting that the trade line was open in XX/XX/XXXX and that it was closed in XX/XX/XXXX for a 12 month loan term. 

From XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX the creditor has reported no data for those months! 
Due to these violations and inaccuracies, this is also interfering with the correction timeframe of when this account should fall off my credit report according to the FCRA. 

The trade line technically should have been closed in XXXX and not XXXX!! 

Therefore, due to these FCRA violations and inaccuracies, I am requesting for this account to be removed from all credit reports!

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their continuous failure to address my dispute letters concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirm an investigation, or correct the disputed information. This lack of action clearly violates the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.

Complaint narrative:
In late XX/XX/XXXX, I called Newrez to schedule biweekly payments for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, they charged me a late fee of {$100.00} and mailed me a letter ( which I did not receive until XX/XX/XXXX ). When I called on XX/XX/XXXX, the customer service rep told me the late fee would be refunded. Upon logging into my online account on XX/XX/XXXX, the late fee had not been removed. I contacted Newrez via chat and {$65.00} was refunded, but not {$39.00}, which was charged as a payment on XX/XX/XXXX. The chat agent stated that the {$39.00} had already been paid so it couldn't be refunded. The phone agent had told me on XX/XX/XXXX that the late fee would be refunded ; she did not mention that it had been split into XXXX separate charges and that part of it was nonrefundable. 

The letter they sent me in the mail is not available in my online account, only in print as received via US mail. 

This is only one of MANY complaints I have filed with Newrez since they acquired my loan. They are the worst mortgage company I have dealt with over 16 years of holding mortgages with many companies.
