On or about XX/XX/2022 an agent of the servicer for this loan contacted me to ask me " how low a payment I would be requiring for the loan modification? '' *this was done without requesting permission from to speak with me from my bankruptcy attorney. 

On or about XX/XX/2022 XXXX Bankruptcy attorney ( after being provided an incorrect fax number by the servicer ) submitted an authorization for the agent to speak with me. 

On or about XX/XX/2022 This same agent began to evade the loss mitigation option of a loan modification when she told me that " we don't do loan modifications over here... You're better off applying for a home refinance ... Can I get your their phone number? 

On or about XX/XX/2022 This same agent contacted me again to ask the same information I provided the last time we spoke. This time this person requested gas, electric, water bills among others. I was also asked to submit an initial document on their website called their " monthly expense worksheet.

Additionally, the loan modification was delayed with no communication from the agent including but not limited to : 1024.41 ( b ) ( XXXX ) to review the application to determine if it is complete, the requirement in 1024.41 ( b ) ( XXXX ) to exercise reasonable diligence in obtaining documents and information to complete a loss mitigation application ( see comment 41 ( b ) ( XXXX ) XXXX ), and the requirement in 1024.41 ( b ) ( XXXX ) ( i ) ( B ) to provide the borrower with written notice that the servicer acknowledges the receipt of the application and has determined that the application is incomplete.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

My credit report includes items that stem from fraudulent activity, none of which I ever authorized or benefited from. This situation misrepresents my character and is deeply upsetting. My rights have been violated, causing significant distress. Although I've already reported this to the Federal Trade Commission, these items still remain on my report. Its frustrating to see that the very system designed to protect individuals in my situation hasnt provided a resolution.

In XX/XX/XXXX, I checked my credit report for the first time in a long while. I noticed MULTIPLE accounts that were NOT authorized by me, as well as MULTIPLE addresses I have NEVER been associated with. Some from other states! 

My score itself was so low due to these unauthorized accounts. The total debt accumulated from these unauthorized accounts is roughly {$10000.00}. 

I IMMEDIATELY contacted each creditor via phone AND letters. Called creditors the same day ; XXXX XXXX sent Letters via mail a few days later, still in XX/XX/XXXX. I was then advised to submit an identity theft report as well as a police report. These were completed in XXXX of XXXX. 

I sent in everything necessary to resolve these issues. I am a single mother and have been working to buy a home for me and my daughter. 

I sent letters, waited 30 days, NOTHING- I called the creditors- NOTHING. I am desperate to fix these issues. I keep getting the run around and no resolution. It is now approaching XXXX. I feel defeated and am asking for all 3 major bureaus to help assist me in investigating these fraudulent accounts and having them removed so I can move forward.
