My identity has been compromised. I found out because XXXX XXXX  sent me an email that I needed to act. I immediately pulled my credit report and saw an outrageous amount of items that were opened under my social security number and by the look of it this person that stole my identity was not able to pay the things opened under my name. These fraudulent items are not mine. Please remove them from my report.

Complaint:
REQUEST FOR FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORT!!! 
I believe that each consumer reporting agency has invalidated the true spirit of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Act first established XX/XX/2003 was intended to establish a plan whereas common American citizens could obtain a copy of their credit reports at least once a year free of charge. Since each credit reporting agency now has marketing divisions such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX  and XXXX  XXXX, the automation system to obtain the free annual reports is looped into an information request to steer citizens into additional product offers that are excessive and unnecessary. Even though I may have received an approval of an updated credit report from either XXXX, XXXX XXXX or Equifax respectively, it is unfair that I need to do a mail request since I can submit my personal information through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) portal. I believe that since the CFPB is the sole responsible oversight party of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, its imperative that any additional solicitation of information from the credit bureaus should be blocked permanently. I along with any other citizen should receive a free credit report upon request. The credit reporting agencies are an important aspect of the national banking system to properly function, but the current aggressive marketing campaign soliciting citizens for an arbitrary FICO score has gone too far, including but not limited to XXXX  XXXX. We must return to a common ground that is fair for all consumers in the United States, and we must be able to request additional marketing on our own terms. Accordingly, I am making a request for a free credit report with confirmation number to my attached email address. Thank you.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: TX
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I am writing this letter in regards to a two issues I have had with Carrington mortgage but primarily due to a recent 30-day late payment. Initially in XX/XX/XXXX I came home from XXXX for vacation. I received several letters saying I was 90 days late on a mortgage payment. Carrington did not process my correct account and routing number to take the automated payment. I called and complained and I was told by the customer rep. that the problem is resolved. Carrington not getting my proper account number then saying I was late was unacceptable. Thankfully this issue was fixed. Then in XX/XX/XXXX I set up an the same auto payment for the same mortgage, with the same system. I double check the account number and the rounting, and their system also have a check system too. When I logged in to set up the auto pay for XX/XX/XXXX, it would not allow me to set up payment for XX/XX/XXXX. I have no idea why. The verbiage was a bit confusing and I thought it was saying that it would take out both payments in XX/XX/XXXX since it would not allow me to set up payment for XX/XX/XXXX. Apparently this was not the case. I just received a 30-day late payment for XX/XX/XXXX. I never got a single phone call regarding the late payment or any paperwork until after the payment was 30 days late. This is a problem I had an XXXX credit score now I have a XXXX. I also had the funds in the account so this was not the issue either. This is a serious problem ; this should be removed from my credit because I clearly have great credit and I always pay my bills. This issue is simply due to a misunderstanding, a auto payment system error and unclear instruction for the payment of XX/XX/XXXX. I am in the process of getting a business loan approved and a home equity line of credit as well. I need this removed from my credit and I need a letter from Carrington saying they authorize its removal so that I can proceed with my loans. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX

I have not giving experian any order to furnish these reports and I have never consent to these reports in the beginning. This would be considered identity theft .I have reached out and spoke with an fraud specialist at experian where we spent over an hour disputing these inquiries. I would like to request these inquiries be removed and requesting your assistance thats there is a proper investigation. These reports are impacting me negatively which makes it extremely hard to get housing for me and my family. I would also like to request proof of any written authorization experian has received from these creditors showing that I have made consent to these authorizations and That they investigate in good faith. I will attach a copy of the laws that experian will be in violation of below.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint:
Mortgage lender - XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX I applied for the mortgage on XX/XX/XXXX. The lender filled out my application and sent me the document to sign. But the forms were already filled by the lender. 
XX/XX/XXXX - i got my loan pre approval from the lender. 
XX/XX/XXXX - i put my earnest money deposit into escrow account. The closing date was supposed to be XX/XX/XXXX. 
We did not close, the lender needed more time to verify info. The seller was kind to extend the loan contingency. Not sure why it was not done earlier, all info was provided by me right after request from the lender. 
XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX sent me an email that my loan is approved. The closing date was expected to be XX/XX/XXXX. On XXXX XXXX the lender informed my agent that we can remove the loan contingency. The closing date was supposed to be XX/XX/XXXX, as XXXX advsed my agent. On XX/XX/XXXX it was still no closing, some delay from the lender again, but as i was informed we are almost there. we did walk through with my agent on XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX i signed the documents with the notary, and i deposited the downpayment at the escrow account. When i was signing the documents i saw my loan amount and loan number XXXX, by XXXX XXXX. Same day the lender informed me that the loan was 'cancelled ''. XXXX assistant texted me to email XXXX that i 'refuse to purchase due to personal reasons ''. I refused to do so, i wanted to purchase the property and i put my downpayment in the escrow account. I questioned the reasons why the loan cancelled. I was informed that it happened because of sellers cancellation, That is not true. He gave another reason to the agent. and there were few more different excuses, none of them was true. The sale did not happen despite my countless efforts to make it go through. I lost half of my earnest money deposit - {$6000.00}, also i had another expenses like {$450.00} home inspection, {$500.00} appraisal, some escrow fees around {$200.00}, number of another small fees, about 50 hours of my time, time off work, stress, and also the prices went up so now it is hard to find the comparable home at this price.
