Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I bought a house with someone I was not married to, but in a relationship with. We are both on the mortgage. We also remodeled while residing in the house together so there is also a HELOC which we are both on. I am no longer in a relationship with this person, but they signed a notarized legal contract drawn up by a lawyer stating that that the other party is responsible for these debts, and that I am to be held harmless for these debts until they can be refinanced. These accounts should be stricken from my credit report and not affect my debt to income ratio or % of late accounts. If given the opportunity, I will attach an electronic copy of the signed, notarized agreement.

Consumer Complaint: It has been drawn out into the open that you are not hindering records when I sent a copy of the FTC report. Since it is a necessity by regulation 605b of the FCRA I'm sending this Complaint to assist with laying out a lawful response. In the event that you decide to not obstruct the accompanying things recorded beneath which are answering erroneously because of fraud, I will hand my archives over to my lawyer to begin a legitimate activity.
