I received an initial letter from a debt collector dated XX/XX/2021 with no verification of a legitimate debt owed. I made numerous phone calls to the company requesting verification but that information was never received. A letter dated XX/XX/2021 indicated as a formal demand listed hardship options being offered to settle this matter so I chose one of them and called the company and made a payment to settle the debt in full on XX/XX/2021. This payment was made via an XXXX card and the payment posted on XX/XX/2021. At the time I made the payment I requested a settlement in full letter be sent to me via email and was told I should receive it within 3 business days. I called the company on XX/XX/2021 regarding settlement in full letter and was told it would take 7 business days. When I called on XX/XX/2021 I was again told it would take 7 business days. On XX/XX/2021 I was then told it would take 7 to 10 business days to get the settlement in full email. When I called at XXXX ET on XX/XX/2021 ( the 10th business day ) I spoke with a supervisor who assured me she would request her manager send the email and I should receive it within a few hours today. After not receiving the requested settlement in full email by XXXX ET on XX/XX/2021, the representative I spoke with during the second call said the manager was gone for the day but I should receive the email by XX/XX/2021.

Issue: Trouble during payment process
Sub-issue: Payment process

Complaint:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the current state of affairs with my mortgage provider, XXXXLoanCare LLC . The complete unavailability of their websites has prompted me to investigate the matter, and my findings indicate a potential cyberattack on the systems of XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), resulting in service disruptions since the previous week. 

My attempts to seek clarification and reassurance by contacting their customer service at XXXX have been unsuccessful. Despite persistent efforts, I have been unable to connect with a genuine customer service representative, with my calls abruptly terminated. 

Given the gravity of the situation, I am profoundly worried about the security of my account information, including linked bank accounts, Social Security Number, and credit information. In light of these concerns, I am formally requesting XXXXLoanCare LLC to provide me with a comprehensive incident report detailing the specifics of the cyberattack and outlining the company 's response to this critical incident. 

Furthermore, I seek explicit information on the measures the company is implementing to safeguard the privacy and integrity of my personal information in the aftermath of this security breach. I believe it is imperative for the company to be transparent about the actions taken to rectify the situation and reinforce security measures. 

In addition to these requests for information and reassurance, I find it necessary to formally request compensation for the disruptions and potential risks incurred as a result of this security breach. The inaccessibility of the company 's website and the inability to establish communication with customer service have not only caused considerable stress but have also raised serious concerns about the safety of my financial and personal data. 

Considering the serious nature of this incident and the potential impact on my financial well-being, I expect XXXXLoanCare LLC to address this matter promptly and provide fair and appropriate compensation to mitigate any adverse effects experienced by affected customers. 

I anticipate your prompt attention to these pressing concerns and a thorough and satisfactory resolution to this situation.

Complaint:
This is a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX located in XXXX, PA. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and has caused me much unnecessary financial AND mental distress. For starters, they're reporting an erroneous & unverifiable account on my credit report and not to mention an account in which I've asked for proof of claim and in which they have not been able to provide, per the FCRA. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare for several months now, XXXX XXXX XXXX has completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. I am well aware of the many, many other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical business. Yet, somehow, this company is still in business. This company 's unprofessional & negligent behavior has caused lots of serious harm, not only to my ability to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a Professional and as an individual. Please help me, and the many other consumers just like me, to put a stop to the operation of these unethical & immoral business practices immediately. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon.
