I request a full and immediate investigation into this matter, with all inaccuracies corrected.

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The late payment remark on my credit report is negatively impacting my FICO score, and I am requesting its removal to ensure my credit profile accurately reflects my financial responsibility. Payment history accounts for approximately 35 % of my FICO score, making it the most significant factor in credit scoring. A single late payment can cause a substantial drop in my score, especially if I previously had a strong payment record. 

This inaccurate late payment is unfairly lowering my creditworthiness and affecting my ability to secure financial opportunities, such as obtaining a loan or favorable interest rates. Additionally, lenders and financial institutions rely on FICO scores to assess risk, and this incorrect remark could result in higher borrowing costs or even denials of credit applications. 

I am formally disputing this error under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which grants me the right to challenge inaccurate or unverifiable information on my credit report. If the late payment can not be verified or is incorrect, it must be removed. Furthermore, I am requesting a goodwill adjustment from the creditor, as I have a history of responsible financial management, and this late payment does not accurately represent my reliability.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers to dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I called Freedom Mortage on XX/XX/2025 when I noticed my XXXX payment was posted to a suspense account instead of my mortgage. The gentleman assured me it would be taken care of. I asked if there was anything I needed to do to make sure this didn't happen again and he said no, it would be fixed and shouldn't happen again. I received an email XX/XX/2025 to notify me my account was past due on my mortgage. I called Freedom Mortgage and was on the phone with them over 45 minutes. The first woman I spoke to kept telling me I was paying my payments late, was very rude, asked me if I even know what a grace period is, and told me she was not going to reverse the late fees assessed because, " I had already paid them. '' My payments are not late and have never been late, I am a month ahead. She refused to transfer me to her supervisor until I started yelling at her to do so. The next woman I spoke to recognized that Freedom Mortgage had posted XXXX 's payment incorrectly and I was told this would be fixed within a couple of days. Nobody has been able to explain to me why the payment was misapplied, which caused future payments to show as late, with fees charged. XXXX 's payment was mostly posted as principal, which also made XXXX 's payment look late. They state on their statements that if a problem isn't identified and communicated to them within 60 days, there is nothing they will do. These are shady business practices. As shown in my attachment, all of my payments are being posted to suspense, which makes it look like my mortgage is behind when it is a month ahead.
