I am writing to dispute these inaccurate accounts listed below. These accounts listed on my credit report is within violation of my rights as a consumer.

If any accounts listed isnt 100 % accurate, the account must be deleted. Please be advised that unverified accounts remain unverified on my credit report. I have yet to receive the original documents from the original creditors which by law is a requirement.

For many years, I tried to resolve a mortgage loan with XXXX  ( and others ). The problem was the mortgage amount had escalated so much it was now XXXX on an $ XXXX loan. 

However, instead of working with me, they gave me a modification of $ XXXX/month. That was unaffordable and XXXX, as the house was not worth that amount. 

In comes a builder, who offers then $ XXXX for the house at a short sale. They take it- yet would not work with me at all. 

The short sale was complete on XX/XX/. Yet still... nothing on the credit report. It takes 2 years from the date of a short sale to get another mortgage. Now am three months farther out from being able to obtain financing.

Question # 1 : Why would not work with me but would immediately take a short sale?

Question # 2 : Why haven't you reported it to the credit bureaus?

The following statement consists of the information on the matter of the XXXX XXXX  account that we have gathered so far. 

After the statement there will be a few items we would like you to address. 

The XXXX XXXX statements that were emailed to us lists our address as a p.o. box address in XXXX XXXX S.D. However, we have never lived or even visited XXXX XXXX S.D. When we looked further into that p.o. box online we discovered an additional p.o. box in XXXX V.A. we were also unaware of. When we researched the new p.o. box we discovered an unknown owner that shared the p.o. box in XXXX and owned another p.o. box that shared a close proximity to the XXXX XXXX p.o. box. 

We have never received any statements prior to those you sent, upon request, thus we had no prior knowledge of the account until your company called. 

According to XXXX XXXX, payments were made from XXXX, XXXX through XXXX, XXXX, with payments ending on XXXX, which corresponds with the information you provided. However, our bank has no record of either themselves or us, the account holders, stopping the automatic payments. 

Additionally XXXX XXXX shows payments being made on XXXX and XXXX of XXXX but there is no record of payment for those two months in our bank records. 

Finally, XXXX XXXX states that the payments should have been XXXX XXXX dollars but the XXXX XXXX statements you emailed to us only show XXXX XXXX dollars as payment due. 

In conclusion we have several requests for you to look into. And they are as follows. 

1 ) We request a list of all purchases made since the opening of the account in XXXX till the last purchase made in XXXX of XXXX. 

2 ) Find out why the account was closed and who authorized the closure. 

3 ) What is the location where the account was activated in XXXX.
