XXXX of XXXX I had a XXXX. Because of that XXXX I had multiple care takers coming in and out of my home to take care of me and help me. They had access to my credit cards, personal information, and mail. In XXXX of XXXX I found out that one of those people used all of my existing credit cards and opened many more without my consent. I contacted all three credit bureaus. I filed reports with the Federal Trade Commission per the advice of the police because they did not take a report because there were so many unknown people who helped with my care and I did not know who did it. I was able to resolve 13 of the fraudulently used or obtained accounts by sending them the federal trade commission report, a copy of my license, a copy of my social security card, a copy of a utility bill, a notarized identity theft affidavit, and letters from other creditors that were effected and resolved. 7 credit card companies continue to refuse to remove the accounts affected by this identity theft although I have contacted them multiple times sense XX/XX/XXXX and sent all the documents listed above multiple times. I contacted the federal trade commission to see what I could do to resolve this and they told me to file complaints with Consumer Finance protection agency to finish getting this identity theft issue resolved to have my credit report updated

CFPB Complaint letter So, on XX/XX/21 I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 40 days later I have not received a response. It appears that me exercising my right to address my credit is being ignored or perhaps I'm being taken advantage of. Section 611 ( a ) plainly states that failure to investigate these items within 30 days is a reason is a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. it has been over 40 days so I'm assuming they will be deleted promptly. I am requesting these items be removed posthaste or I will be filing litigation due to the undue stress this matter is causing me in my financial life. I am positive that my information was also impacted by the XXXX data breach possibly gotten into the wrong hands of someone who is not me! 



This is not a regular dispute, I have filed a complaint with the FTC and the XXXX if I recollect correctly none of these items are mine. According to section 611 ( a ) states failure to investigate these items gives just cause to remove from my report within 30 days. 
So far it has been 40 days. Please help me rectify this at once! Id like to see this removed at once.

Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
Around XX/XX/2019 I contacted XXXX XXXX about a refinance of our home. They put me in touch with Nations Lending. We had just been through a huge ordeal with another mortgage company. So I called Nations Lending and ended up with XXXX XXXX. I made it clear that we a foreclosure that was a few months away from the seven year period. We discussed loan options and we got a quote over the phone. We were assured that foreclosure was not a problem because it was so close to being over with. We were given an option of a 15 or 20 year refinance. We decided on the 20 year loan at 3.87 % for a payment of XXXX a month. The paperwork we were sent was not even close to what we were quoted on the phone. When I told them I wouldn't sign the initial documents XXXX XXXX said it didn't matter " Only the final documents mattered. " Then things went downhill fast. We went from being told the underwriters said everything is going great. We should be closing very soon maybe a week or two. To XXXX getting a really bad attitude. So I contacted the person that was his supervisor XXXX XXXX. I informed her what was going on. XXXX said she would find a loan that would work for us. When she called back she said the " Only loan " she could offer us was a thirty year loan. This new 30 year loan was going to be way more than the 15 year loan choice they gave us at the beginning of this nightmare. XXXX said no reputable company could even make the loan we were quoted by the first company ... But the strange thing is the loan we were told about on the first call with Nations Lending was only about {$10.00} a month more than the first company. I sent her an email saying this whole loan situation sounds to me like a " Bate and switch deal. And no thank you. Now they send me a letter of credit denial, termination, or XXXX. With the box under Credit portion, garnishment, attachment, foreclosure, repossession or collection action or judgment, box checked. We told Nations lending NO and now they are sending us this letter that they are refusing us. This is a case of them trying to stick us because we wouldn't give into unethical business practices.

Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Delay in processing application

Complaint:
I have applied for a Capitol One Credit card and was approved credit card a month ago. I have received a phone call two weeks ago, from the Fraud department asking me to email documents to verify my identity. 

So for the past two weeks I have been emailing my personal documents such as state id, social security card, birth certificate, bills, and mail. I had several conversations with Fraud department about issue with ID being in black and white ( need it in color ), social security ( needed to be signed ), pieces of mail ( needed to be opened ), images are blurry, and recently my telephone number is not verifiable. 

When I asked the manger of the fraud department about the phone number issues he could not explain it to me on what was the issue. I google this issue and it turns out that others had this issue because their phone phone service was prepaid and not contractual. 

And now they want me to reapply in 15 days for the same credit, I was already approved for. 

I asked for a corporate number and the all push me to the website. 

Please help.
