Re : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  acct. # XXXX Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX , I never received any written correspondance from this company. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX added a collections to my credit reports with XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX  that results from crime ( s ) that were committed against me. This is invalid. I did not received any services or goods from the original creditor. However, I am still held responsible for this debt. You are hereby in violation of the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT by adding a collection to my credit reports without my knowledge.In addition, you are also in violation of THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT by reporting inaccurate information to the above-mentioned credit reporting agencies. You were by the 3 following credit reporting agencies not only were you froward copies of an FTC identity-theft report but also a sworn copy of an identity-theft affidavit. Still you fail to comply with laws enacted by congress to alleviate consumers of debts as a result of identity-theft. Failure to comply shall lead to litigation for defamation of character, whereas associating my name with debts I do not owe and various violations of THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT and FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT. This is a declaration that I am exercising all my rights as a consumer and victim of identity theft. Lastly, having a debt I am not liable for after origin of such debt is given is a deliberate violation of the aforementioned acts all enacted and legalized by Congress and The Attorney General to protect consumers against unlawful collections and reporting of information to credit reporting agencies.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: LA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Other type of mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
In XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, I refinanced my USDA loan with Mr. Cooper/Nationstar. I didn't realize at the time, but Mr. Cooper failed to add my PMI payments to the final closing disclosures my husband and I signed. As a result, the payments were never added to my monthly mortgage payments and thus never paid to the USDA. In XXXX XXXX XXXX Mr. Cooper must have been alerted by the USDA that they had not received their annual PMI payments so Mr. Cooper withdrew the entire amount of {$770.00} from my escrow account to pay the USDA. They then did an escrow analysis in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  which showed that I, of course, had a significant deficit. They claimed to have sent a letter and if they truly did then I did not receive it as a result of Hurricane Ida which devastated my area the same month. I did not become aware of a problem until my XX/XX/XXXX mortgage payment overdrafted my bank account because Mr. Cooper changed my payment amount from {$1100.00} to {$1300.00} to cover the escrow and now they have started adding the PMI they hadn't been charging me for nearly 2 years. I called them immediately and they explained everything about the escrow shortage but did not understand why I hadn't been charged PMI until I had them check copies of the closing disclosures. Once they realized their employee, XXXX XXXX, made the mistake, they informed me she longer worked with the company and refused to work with me to correct this. They doubled down and said I was going to pay the money back to escrow and pay the PMI regardless of what my signed disclosures stated. At this point and after consulting with professionals, I was advised to refinance again but into a conventional loan. I started that process immediately and in XX/XX/XXXX I no longer had a mortgage with Mr. Cooper/Nationstar and I was out XXXX of dollars due to their incompetence.
