State: IL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back.

This was the result of an escrow analysis that was performed in the first quarter of 2023 an emailed to me. The email likely went to spam as I did not receive either a letter or phone call. 
I called on XX/XX/XXXX as a result of a letter from CM stating home was to be foreclosed. I called them for an explanation and they informed me I was behind by {$70.00}. My payment had increased by {$70.00} in XXXX to be applied in XX/XX/2023 moving forward. CM also reported me late for the month of XXXX, even though I had paid {$1600.00} on XXXX. CM explained shortage was taken from escrow account and I paid and additional amount of {$140.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, to account for the shortage in XXXX and XXXX. 

This late report is impacting my ability to obtain credit. The {$70.00} were taken out of escrow for the month of XXXX and I made an extra payment in XXXX to cover that. CM, please explain why I am being reported late. I have never had issues with any other mortgage service providers ; CM continues to conduct themselves egregiously.

Complaint:
I opened a XXXX account in XXXX and in XX/XX/XXXX the company changed lender. This change by the company led to a new account being added to my credit reports ( old account closed ). this change has had a negative impact on my credit as it appears I opened a new account which did not.
