My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX owner of property XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Florida XXXX Loan # XXXX.

During the Pandemic I unfortunately lost my job and battled to stay current on my Mortgage account while facing a lot of problems.

During this time I became past due on my mortgage and unfortunately its been a struggle to get current. I received assistance twice from them which I appreciate it and I am grateful for. My problem is that I kept facing difficult times and kept getting behind and dragging a late month multiple times and have accrued 16 late payments throughout my time since covid. I am receiving a bonus from work in the upcoming week so I will return to normal and I can promise I will always be on time but when I tried to ask XXXX XXXX  to forgive those late payments or report to the credit a different way to not have a negative impact they said they couldn't do it. Is there anything you guys can assist with? Prior to XXXXXXXX XXXX I had 43 on time payments with XXXX before I refinance to XXXX and if you guys take a look at my credit everything started to happen around XXXX after we were shut down. 

I attached the letter I send XXXXXXXX XXXX along with the screen shots from before and after covid and my excellent credit history with my prior Mortgage provider before switching over to XXXX.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020, I wanted to remove a credit report freeze temporarily at Experian. Because I did not have my pin number, I attempted to get this number using Experian 's website and was unsuccessful. I then called Experian and was unable to get a human being who could explain why I was unsuccessful in getting my pin number or assist me in retrieving it. 

Apparently, Experian only has human customer service representatives for businesses and a consumer is forced to endure endless automated menus which work only if you are reporting fraud, credit alert or requesting a copy of a credit report. At the end of the automated menu, Experian disconnects the caller.

Complaint:
Beginning the end of last year into the first few weeks of this year, I was XXXX  as a result of complications due to XXXX. Given that I was out of work and fighting for my life, I fell behind on my credit card obligations. Which included the credit card I hold with Avant. I was assessed a {$25.00} late fee on XX/XX/22 and a {$35.00} late fee on XX/XX/22. My account has since been brought current and I requested to have the late fees I incurred waived due to the unforeseen circumstance. I was denied and also spoke with a supervisor all to no avail. I wasn't even alloted a courtesy waiver of one fee. Which is a customary pratice among credit cards. Their response to their customers ' plight is reprehensible.
