Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I have attempted to SPEAK with a LoanCare agent, the company managed by XXXX XXXX XXXX, but unfortunately, they are just as unresponsive. I find that none of their contact avenues lead to a satisfactory outcome, and during the XXXX call I was fortunate enough to receive from them, the representative I spoke with appeared to lack the necessary knowledge to assist me in addressing my concerns. I enjoy emails but when I am about to give a large amount of money to a company, I would like to interact with a PERSON. 

Given that XXXX XXXX XXXX markets itself as a leader in mortgage management, I find it exceedingly disappointing that my experience has been anything but satisfactory. It seems that there are significant gaps in communication and customer support which need immediate attention. 

I would greatly appreciate a prompt resolution to my issues or a direct line of communication with someone who can assist me effectively. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift response. THANK YOU CFPB.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the following negative items on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XX/XX/year> These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Subject : Request for Removal of Late Payments Under 15 U.S.C. 1666 ( b ) I am writing to formally request the removal of late payment information reported on my credit file in accordance with Section 1666 ( b ) of the Fair Credit Billing Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1666b ). I have never been late on payments for the account : ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) I believe that the late payment reporting is either inaccurate or was caused by circumstances beyond my control, which are protected under this statute. Specifically, 15 U.S.C. 1666 ( b ) requires that creditors credit payments to accounts on the date they are received and prohibits unfair reporting when payments have been improperly handled. 
Given these circumstances, I respectfully request that you investigate this matter and remove the inaccurate late payment information from my credit report. This correction would ensure compliance with federal laws and maintain the accuracy of my credit history. 
Please notify me in writing of the outcome of your investigation. Should you need any further information, please feel free to contact me at XXXX or XXXX Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Late Payment Reporting on My XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Account Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the inclusion of late payments on my credit report for my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681 et seq., I request an immediate correction and removal of any such inaccurate or unfairly reported late payments.

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), a " consumer report '' excludes any report containing information solely related to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the entity making the report. As such, late payments that do not impact creditworthiness beyond the direct relationship between XXXX XXXX and myself should not be reported to consumer reporting agencies as adverse credit events. 
Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers of credit information must not report information that they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. If the reported late payments resulted from extenuating circumstances, billing errors, or delays beyond my control, their inclusion on my credit report would constitute a violation of this provision.

Additionally, the FCRA grants consumers the right to dispute the completeness and accuracy of any item in their file. Per 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), upon receiving a dispute, a credit information furnisher must conduct a reasonable investigation and delete or correct any information found to be inaccurate or unverifiable. 
Given these legal protections, I formally request that this credit bureau review this matter and remove any late payment not in compliance with the above provisions. Please provide written confirmation of the actions taken within 30 days, as required under FCRA. 
Should you require any further documentation or clarification, please let me know at your earliest convenience. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. I have attached a copy of the law, which says that the alleged late payment ( s ) should not be reported on my credit report. I ask you kindly to abide by the law and update my account to be paid as agreed. Failure to do so will result in me taking legal action against your credit bureau. I also ask you to provide verifiable proof of payment records showing that I had late payments on this account. The law clearly states that if you are unable to provide this proof, then this late payment must be deleted from my consumer report. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding an issue with my credit report that is negatively affecting my financial standing. I have made multiple attempts to resolve this matter directly with the creditor/furnisher, but they have failed to provide an adequate response. Below are the details of my complaint : 1. Charged-Off Account or Collection Account Creditor/Collection Agency Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Creditor/Collection Agency Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Creditor/Collection Agency Name : XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Creditor/Collection Agency Name : XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Creditor/Collection Agency Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Issue : This account was charged off/placed in collections without proper notification or validation of the debt. 

I requested validation of the debt per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), but the creditor/collection agency failed to provide sufficient documentation. 

The reported balance and payment history contain inaccuracies that I have disputed with the credit bureaus, yet the creditor refuses to correct or remove the erroneous data. 

The account was sold to a third-party collector, yet it remains listed under the original creditor, creating duplicate reporting and unfair harm to my credit profile. 

I am requesting the immediate deletion of this inaccurate and unverifiable account from my credit report or proper documentation proving its validity. 

2. Unauthorized/Incorrect Hard Inquiry Company That Performed Inquiry : CAPITALONE Date of Inquiry : XX/XX/year> Issue : I did not authorize this company to pull my credit. 

No written consent or permissible purpose exists for this hard inquiry, which is a violation of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ). 

Despite my dispute, the credit bureaus and the creditor have refused to remove the unauthorized inquiry. 

I am requesting the immediate removal of this hard inquiry from my credit report, as it was made without my authorization.
