Complaint:
XX/XX/2019 Mr. XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX or XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX As I understand it, you are formerly with XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Although I am now XXXX, I once worked in XXXX for the XXXX XXXX XXXX   XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, and had the opportunity to visit XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX offices in New York, as a colleagues best friend worked for XXXX, just after XXXX   XXXX. 
My letter to you today deals with a much more serious subject, as I have had terrible issues with identity theft, and XXXX XXXX breach of duty of care, for me, a XXXX individual. At XXXX XXXX EST and XXXX EST I had calls with your employee XXXX   XXXX . 
XXXX XXXX XXXX ext. XXXX XXXX After twenty-seven minutes of debating between XXXX, and my Mother, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, in regards to correcting XXXX XXXX errors, I disconnected from the call, to contact you. I am hopeful you will remedy this current crisis, which has been caused by XXXX XXXX breach. Per your representing attorney in South Carolina, all issues were resolved, and therefore, no delinquent or negative marks should be noted on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account, or any other account. 
Having worked in the past for the XXXX XXXX, the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and other high-profile XXXX XXXX, including XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, I realize many times it takes a straight line of connection to get a problem solved. I have been dealing with this issue for more than a year, and working with different branches, your ever-changing local staff, loan modification staff and your Executive Office staff, has caused undue burden and hardship for me, a XXXX individual. 
Per your previous staff notes, emails confirming another owner had been holding my mail for months, which your employee, XXXX XXXX doesnt understand is a Federal Crime, and many other errors, XXXX XXXX is required to remove ALL NEGATIVE Late PAYMENT information and ANY DELINQUENCIES from my credit reporting and provide me with a letter stating they have done so. Therefore, I will pay off the small HELOC owed to XXXX XXXX and qualify for the FHA loan needed to purchase a home for my XXXX needs. 
I think you should educate your employee, XXXX XXXX, and all other XXXX XXXX employees dealing with such issues, in regards to Title 18. Crimes and Criminal Procedure, Part 1. Crimes, Chapter 83 1708, Theft or receipt of stolen mail matter generally.
