Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX SSN : XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Dear Credit Bureaus, I just got another copy of my credit report and still seeing inquiries that I have no knowledge of or give consent to. Once again, according to Section 604 of the FCRA, would you kindly provide me with permissible purpose, proof that I initiated these inquiries, and written authorization for all inquiries listed on my credit report? If you have NO PROOF, I demand immediate deletion from my credit report.

I have contacted the below creditor and they apparently have NO proof I have initiated such inquiries, nor written authorization, and have failed to provide a permissible purpose. Since, they do not have my authorization, written or verbal I am asking you to kindly DELETE these inquiries from my credit report immediately as there is absolutely no evidence of my authorization, nor permissible purpose.

According to my research, under Section 604. Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) In general. Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( F ) otherwise has a legitimate business need for the information ( i ) in connection with a business transaction that is initiated by the consumer.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, Paragraph ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information ( A ) In general. If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete.

The following companies did not have permission to request my credit report : Unauthorized hard pull, where did you get this misleading information? This is unfair! DELETE!

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: PA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process
Sub-issue: Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan

Complaint:
My mortgage was sold to Mr. Cooper as of the XXXX of this XXXX. Mr. Cooper didn't have the loan set up until the XXXX. I have had nothing but problems from this company. I needed more information about paying on line with them because they push check paying by mail. I won't pay by mail. I had problems with this method before. It is easy to say that the check didn't get there on time and get those penalty funds build up. They also say they offer pay by phone and their website. Their website is a nightmare. It constantly has pop ups for new mortgages and loans which are full page ads. Yet when I try to do anything with my loan there is a banner on the left hand side of the screen blocking that side. I have tried every way to remove this banner and can't. I can't read what is behind it. I don't want to be auto pay, I don't want another loan or anything else I can't see they want me to agree on. I am not clicking on something I can't fully read on their website. I want to know about going paperless, what their provisions are for their grace period is and about their other procedures. The welcome letter I received from Mr Cooper to introduced themselves was only generalized .... don't worry we are a good company... nothing will change. I have tried numerous times to get a live chat but no one is ever available. The automated chat never knows what you are want and always winds up asking for you to enter your email and they will put you in line for a live chat agent. I have never dealt with a company that puts you in an email line to make contact with their customer services. This is substandard customer communication. I NEVER received any appointments in follow up email. I have tried going to their XXXX page but they have all commenting locked down. Messaging them on XXXX gets no reply. I have repeatedly called 3 different phone numbers given out by Mr Cooper, XXXX, XXXX, and their Executive Customer Service Team. All automated with limited selections to chose from. If you ask for customer service the automated system will say I understand you want customer service. The service then says it will take you there but it just takes you to it repeating another limited selection of choices. It always ends with them saying goodbye and hanging up on you. The Executive number is different because the automated system is a female voice that hangs up on you. I had no say and have no choice but to be stuck with derelict Mr. Cooper. I found out their whole system was attacked by ransomware a month ago. This also shows how much this company cares about it's consumers by not having protection. I would like to talk to a real customer service rep and be able to read the screen on there website. This company has shown nothing but unacceptable service to me. And I haven't made my first payment with Mr Cooper yet.

Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC
State: TX
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process
Sub-issue: Escrow, taxes, or insurance

Complaint:
I pay for my insurances separately. This includes the TX windstorm and Homeowners insurance. 

I have payment plans set up with both insurances and don't with to escrow my payments. I want to keep them both seperate. 

My insurance agent supplied the new policies to Rocket Mortgage two days ago. Today I receive a notice that Rocket Mortgage disbursed the full annual payment of {$1000.00} to TX Windstorm insurance without my approval. They have a copy of the policies and yet without inquiring, disbursed funds from the escrow account to the Insurance company. This results in an overpayment to Texas Windstorm insurance. I have twelve payments set up with TX Windstorm insurance and have already placed a {$150.00} downpayment with them. 

I feel that Rocket Mortgage is grossly mishandling my account. I've already requested I don't want escrows with them. They disburse to the insurance agencies without my consent. I find this unacceptable and this needs to stop immediately.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.
