Complaint:
Thank you for the opportunity to explain the late payments and issues on my credit report. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, after a lot of hardwork I was blessed to be able to purchase a home in XXXX XXXX, XXXX for my daughter. 

From the time of purchase up to the beginning of COVID my daughter either paid her mortgage to me ( usually by transferring from her XXXX account to mine or by XXXX ). I would then pay the mortgage via XXXX XXXX. Within a month of COVID ; however, my daughter lost her job. After using the few months pay shed saved, the mortgage became my responsibility. Not just because the loan is in my name, but because as her Mom it was my responsibility. 

Then, not to get too personal, in the midst of COVID ( XXXX ) and her job loss, I found out my then husband was having an affair with an XXXX driver after only 5 months of marriage ( cant make this up ) AND hed lost his job, leaving the mortgage on the home I shared with him as my responsibility, as well as, all household expenses for both houses. 

So at this point, Im paying two mortgages, two car notes, utilities in two houses and credit cards for each of us on top of dealing with what ended up being the beginning of the end of my marriage. 

I eventually separated from my husband in XX/XX/XXXX. My divorce was final in XX/XX/XXXX. 
Prior to my life turning upside down ( XXXX ) Id accepted a position below my previous level of pay to reduce the stress in my life but, after trying to carry two households on that salary through XXXX and part of XXXX ( where most of the late payments occurred ) I was forced to take on multiple full-time jobs to support my family. 

I am quite aware that the late payments are horribly reflection of creditworthiness, but I do want to point out that throughout all of the above episodes, I may have paid late many, many times, but my family remained in our homes, our cars were not repossessed, our utilities stayed on and there are no charge offs on either of our credit. I did this after speaking with all of my creditors, explaining the issue to them and letting them know I would try my best to keep paying all my bills. 

ON TOP of all that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and the XXXX XXXX Police notified me in XX/XX/XXXX that someone had come into the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXranch with fake id 's and my lost debit card attempting to withdraw money from my bank account. I live in XXXX. I have been working with the police in both XXXX and XXXX to try to get a small mountain of identity theft items resolved that I was not even aware of until they contacted me! 

I have emailed each of them asking that they honor their word and remove late payments under the CARES Act to no avail. I need the help of CFPB. I am exhausted at this point. Had I know I'd get treated just like someone who didn't pay at all, I wouldn't have killed myself trying to not let anything fall behind.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
