Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: I am aware that, in spite of the precise information customers have provided, you have been using pre-written standard form letters in your responses to a large number of disputes, complaints, and challenges. I am fully aware that this is illegal because every customer complaint needs to be considered on its own merits and handled accordingly. My letters have written and generated using accessible software that is available to everyone. If you choose not to process or address my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i. And it is against the law to delay the processing of letters from consumers based on the assumption that assistance from a third party may be available. This does not qualify as a legal exception. I am the sole author of any letters bearing my name, or they have been written by my advisors with my complete knowledge and consent. I am aware that you can postpone answering consumer letters without having to ask for a Power of Attorney. I will view your failure to respond to my correspondence in a timely manner as a willful disregard for my rights as a customer. I will be forced to get in touch with my lawyer and take legal action in such a situation. According to the FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( l ) and the accepted STANDARD of Metro 2 data fild reporting, I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is not correct. It is essential that all data included in a consumer 's file is properly documented and validated before it is made available for use by creditors. Therefore, I take this matter seriously. The allegations of delinquency and derogatory information against me are entirely false, I won't stand for any misinformation being associated with my name and fiancial history and I am determined to FIGHT back with ALL my strength! The accuracy of your credit report is crucial. The allegations listed do not meet the federal or state requirements for reporting and can not be substantiated. I challenge these claims due to their failure to comply with basic reporting standards, which would provide me with greater confidence in the accuracy of the information presented. It is your responsibility to maintain and report data with complete accuracy and compliance. You must not report any claims that you know do not meet regulatory requirements. It is crucial that we ensure all claims are accurate and reported in the appropriate format as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and reporting standards such as METRO 2. I kindly request that you handle this matter with utmost care and diligence.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I reside at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. My contact number is XXXX, and the loan in question is number XXXX. Currently, I am in the process of selling my home and purchasing a new one, primarily due to the high interest rate on my existing mortgage. In this endeavor, I have been collaborating with the Loss Mitigation department and the VA, diligently following a mutually agreed-upon plan. However, I have encountered significant discrepancies in my credit report. Upon review, I found several derogatory marks and an erroneous listing indicating a missed payment for the previous month, even though I have made the payment. This error is detrimentally impacting my credit score, hindering my ability to secure a new mortgage for another home. Without resolving this issue, I risk defaulting on my current mortgage. In light of these circumstances, I am reaching out to the CFPB for support in rectifying these inaccuracies with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Your intervention is essential to ensure my credit report accurately reflects my financial conduct and assists in my housing transition. For reference, the contact information for XXXX XXXX XXXX Mortgage Assistance Department is as follows : - Phone : ( XXXX ) XXXX - Email : XXXX - Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX - NMLS # XXXX - Website : XXXX I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and any assistance you can provide.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I have called four times and spoken with someone from Equifax to remove the disputed listed on my credit report on accounts that I did not open. It is preventing me from getting approved for a mortgage loan and I have tried repeatedly to get them removed. Each time they tell me they have but each time my credit is ran again to check and they are still there.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX is reporting a collection/chargeoff to the credit reporitng. XXXX is reporting the high credit limit as XXXX. XXXX is reporting XXXX Equifax is reporting XXXX. Furthermore Equifax is reporting that the date of last payment is XXXX, however they have continued to report a payment history for XXXX and XXXX it is a violation for a chargeoff to continue to report a payment history. Additionally, XXXX is reporting the date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX is reporting XX/XX/XXXX, and equifax is reporting XX/XX/XXXX. Even with all these inconsistencies, each company continues to respond that the account has been verified as reporting accurately. These inconsistencies prove that no reasonable or proper investigation has occurred. I have been disputing these accounts for a year. FCRA section 616 for civil liability for willful non compliance, ( 15 U.S.C section 1681nh states that any person who fails to willfully comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of A- any actual damage sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damage of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00}. i have suffered damages to my credit profile which has impacted my financial wellbeing. I would like to be compensated by these bureaus in the sum of more than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00} for their negligence in causing these violations and damages to my credit report.
