Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (TX)

I received a letter from my new mortgage company XX/XX/XXXX stating my flood insurance policy had lapsed and I had 30 days to provide my new policy info or they would place insurance on it for me at a substantial premium to cover " their '' interest. I have owned the home for 29 years and have never purchased flood insurance before. I had a previous request from my original mortgage company XX/XX/XXXX so I had an " Elevation Survey '' done by a professional surveying company stating my home was in XXXX. Homes that are in XXXX do not require flood insurance and the issue was resolved. The new mortgage company said they would not accept the elevation survey but required a letter from FEMA. I started the FEMA process which stated could take up to 60 days. Around XX/XX/XXXX, I received a phone call from the mortgage company concerning the flood insurance. I returned the phone call and told them I was still waiting on FEMA. After the phone call, I made some phone calls and was able to purchase flood insurance ( although I live in XXXX and it should not be required ). I paid for the policy but was informed that it all has to go through the government and would take 30 days to go into effect. This means the original letter I received giving me 30 days to comply was " barely '' attainable even if I received the letter the same day they wrote it. It took the mail a few days to get to me AND I had to find insurance, purchase it and have it go into effect in that same 30 day period per the letter. On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid FEMAFLOODNFSIE ( a government agency ) for my flood insurance policy ( against my better judgement ) and both my insurance agent and I faxed them the policy application information as well as the proof of payment ( from XXXX totally separate fax machines ). On XX/XX/XXXX ( three days after purchase of insurance ), I received the letter from FEMA stating my residence was removed from XXXX and indeed was in XXXX I promptly sent this information via fax to the mortgage company and figured the situation would be settled one way or the other ( I " purchased '' the insurance policy AND I had the FEMA letter they requested saying I was in XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX, I received another letter from the mortgage company stating THEY put the flood insurance policy on my loan. Now I have XXXX unnecessary insurance policies for the same property!! I have faxed the information several times as well as emailed it three times. When I call to speak to a representative, I am told they did not receive anything concerning my insurance coverage and I need to fax it again. I re-fax it and follow up with more phone calls but they never receive anything.

I opened an auto loan on XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX bank for a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The car was repossessed in earlyXX/XX/XXXX and I brought the loan up to date within a week. I finished paying the balance on my {$23000.00} loan in XX/XX/XXXX. I have disputed having the status as reinstated repossession numerous times with XXXX, XXXX, and Experian. My last negative account activity was beyond 7 years ago, but they will not remove the status. This is causing my XXXX and Experian FICO scores to be over 80 points lower than my XXXX. I am a member of XXXX and have found that this status is what is causing the lower score because the negative information is listed with an unknown date. After speaking with supervisors at both credit agencies and XXXX, I 've been told that this negative information will show until XX/XX/XXXX. They say the account is positive because it shows paid in full and closed. They will not remove the status because they said it reports accurately even though the negative activity was over 8 years ago.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored.

RE : Late Payment Improperly Reported- I XXXX XXXX have a RIGHT TO PRIVACY under 15 USC 1681A ( 4 ) as a federally protected consumer and I know my rights presented under the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly outlined within 15 USC 1681. 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. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n and 15 USC 1681o, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent. I was reviewing my consumer reports and noticed XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX on my credit report that need be immediately updated to paid as agreed. My Consumer rights have been violated by XXXX, Experian, XXXX. XXXX, Experian, XXXX has violated my consumer rights and violated federal law. This is the FOURTH attempt to notify you of this erroneous error on the part of your agency. This erroneous late payment is affecting my ability to obtain a loan to save my business from crumbling and also blocking me from the housing that I so desperately need for myself and my family. Please change this to paid as agreed immediately so that I may proceed with my life, or I may be forced to seek legal damages against your agency as I already have sought legal counsel in this more than important matter. Thank you.
