Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting the removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days, and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over XXXX months.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
I refer you to a previous complaint XXXX XXXX which is closed. XXXX from DiTech informed me that I would be reinstated into the HAMP program. I was not and am now in foreclosure. 
History : I recieved a modification from Green Tree in XX/XX/XXXX. After I signed the permananet modification, Green Tree raised my mortgage amount to my original payment without notice. The agreed upon payment I made was placed into a suspension account. GreenTree did not give me a reason. They said if I didnt make the increased payment I would be thown into the street by the sheriff. I did not make the increased payments since the payment was not the agreed to amount. I requested a HAMP modification. Ditech offered me a HAMP. Although I agreed to automatic withdrawals, Ditech did not debit the funds. When I would call to inquire, they advised me they could process my payment but it would cost {$12.00}, which I paid. I made another 8 payments waiting for a permanent modification agreement. In XX/XX/XXXX I recieved a " trial modification letter '' dated XX/XX/XXXX. I did not sign the permanent XXXX upon the advice of XXXX from XXXX who was investigating. In XX/XX/XXXX I signed the HAMP. Almost immediately I received a letter raisng my mortgage by $ XXXX/mo. I made one payment. I am now in foreclosure.

Complaint:
RE : XXXX ; XXXX, Extra ; Account # XXXX Per the FCRA, as a federally protected consumer I have never received notice nor any disclosure to opt out per 15 USC 6802. 

Also, as a federally protected consumer I have never received any disclosure on XXXX, XXXX nor EXTRA privacy policy disclosing of the sharing of any private and personal information per 15 USC 6803. 

Furthermore, Per the FCRA, as a federally protected consumer I am now opting out of any and all authorization, I the consumer may have given you whether written, unwritten, verbal, and non-verbal per the rule making of 15 USC 6804 and the enforcement per 15 USC 6805. 

Per the privacy act of 1974, the financial institution EXTRA violated their terms and conditions against me as they promised not to share my banking, personal, and private information with non-affiliates. I am demanding that each party included in this letter provide proof of this authorization to have and share my information. The credit agencies keep stating the bank gave them authorization to have information, but my institution says they dont give it to non-affiliates. 

Lastly, this account is reporting inaccurately across all credit agencies and needs to be updated immediately to paid as agreed reflect all payments made on time to be accurate. Per the FCRA a report containing information between a consumer and the person making the report is excluded per 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) I am seeking compensation for these violations and damage that has caused me great hardship in life and for the account to be updated as paid as agreed.
