Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX I spoke to XXXX XXXX from Waterstone Mortgages about getting a loan to refinance my properties. 

Waterstone Mortgage - XXXX XXXX | Senior Mortgage Advisor | NMLS # XXXX | WaterstoneMortgage.com XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX MOBILE XXXX FAX I had a decent credit score and he told me it looks I could get a XXXX loan. 
He pulled my credit. 
I explained to him everything, sent him my tax returns and balance sheets as I'm a XXXX XXXX XXXX. He said the way to go was XXXX. 
He told me to wait till XX/XX/XXXX that I get my XX/XX/XXXX tax return and that then he could get me 10 XXXX loans to refi my properties that had hard money loans on them. 
I believed him and waited. 
On XX/XX/XXXX he had me appraise my house and it cost me {$500.00} for an approved XXXX appraiser. 
On XX/XX/XXXX he tells me " go at XXXX XXXX at the IRS and have the tax return stamped and I can get your mortgage approved righyt away ... '' so I went as asked at XXXX XXXX to deposit my tax return and get the stamped copy ... 
One of my lenders to whom I explained XXXX XXXX 's promises believed me/him and comited to lend the money I was going to get back ... 
On the XX/XX/XXXX things were stalling and my investor started to get worried as his other client comitted and XXXX XXXX was showing signs of incompetence ... 
All at once he told me middle of XX/XX/XXXX " you can't have a XX/XX/XXXX because you have more than 10 loans. You need a conventional loan. My underwriter is away for a week then she'll decide ''. 
After a week he said, wait next week we will know for sure. 
Then he didn't answer my calls or return them. My lender had to rush get a heloc on his house so his other client wouldn't loose his down payment. 
I got upset yesterday and called his boss. She never returned my calls neither. I finally got her today and she said I didn't want to do business with them ...! 
I pulled my credit. For nothing I paid for an appraisal. For nothing I got my lender upset. For nothing He can't say I hid anything because he had my tax returns balance sheets, etc ... He's either incompetent or jealous I'm well off and was just playing games and making me waste my time. His boss sided with him without analyzing that I was taken for a ride by this ignorant guy. He should have known that XXXX was not for me and direct me in another direction immediately and not make me waste 7 months of high interests, {$500.00} useless appraisal, pulling my credit, etc ... and then acting like I'm a lunatic who changed his mind. 
This is not a way to treat a consumer. No? 
Thank you for taking the time of reading me XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I've been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report since XX/XX/2020. I keep sending multiple sets of letters to the bureaus and the creditors so the excuse of " we didn't get it '' doesn't happen. Furthermore, each letter is certified mail with tracking and each letter shows signed and delivered and yet the bureaus are still not taking any actions. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The accounts always show up with different name variations and different account number variations and yet the bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the account claim to be mine. Not only have I not received any mail showing the verifiable proofs needed to justify the accounts to be on my report, I haven't even received any letters at all stating the investigations have begun. Per the FCRA and federal law, the process is supposed to be 30 days. 250 days later, I'm still here shelling out money for certified mail with no end in sight and no results to show. This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensations and damages incurred. Finally, it seems that when these complaints are submitted, the bureaus are using the excuse that they " can't confirm my identity '' to get away with taking no actions on my credit report. Please investigate this as well.

On XX/XX/2023 around XXXX or XXXX XXXX  I noticed that there was an inquiry on my credit report showing for both XXXX XXXX and XXXX so initially the next morning I called XXXX XXXX and XXXX and I told them that this inquiry was not authorized by me, and therefore should be removed I was then instructed that I need to contact capital one so thats what I did. I contacted Capital One and Capital One said XXXX we have no records of any inquiries that were placed on your credit. Therefore we cant send a letter to XXXX XXXX and XXXX disputing this because theres nothing on file saying that you apply for credit I then contacted XXXX and XXXX XXXX once again on that same call and had the capital one representative explain what was going on however, I received no help. I only received the runaround. I was hung up on me and the capital one agent, and at the end of everything I was told that the capital one agent had to get off of the phone because they cant do conferences at XXXX. I spoke with a XXXX XXXX from XXXX, who instructed me that the only way the inquiry could be removed, was from a letter which capital one could not provide so now I am contacting the CFPB to get this inquiry removed from both my credit consumer reports because it is fraudulent and it was an authorized by me.
