I greatly value the relationship I have with the following creditors and have consistently made on-time payments forsuch a long time.This isolated incident does not reflect my overall commitment to honoring my financial obligations, and I have since taken steps to ensure this will not happen again. 

Given my otherwise positive payment history, I kindly request that you consider removing this late payment from my credit report as a goodwill gesture. I believe this adjustment would better reflect my responsible credit behavior and would help improve my credit standing.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (TX)

Last year, I began attempting to reach out to Mr.Copper and it was very hard to get on the phone with an actual person. It's also extremely hard to get a direct answer when sending a message within the website. The 1st time I was able to finally speak with a human she did NOT offer me any financial hardship options. My husband had just lost his job and we really needed some options, and we were trying to get ahead of the issue. After some months past by I call again and after 30 minutes of going through prompts I finally get in contact with a human and she offered to go over some financial hardship options. At that time none of them fit our needs. I also asked them to waive some of the late fees that have stacked up. They responded with they only remove 1 per year. Just yesterday I was told for the FIRST time ever that they are also charging an additional {$60.00} inspection fee for the account not being current. We believe that Mr.Cooper purposely makes access to information, human interaction and a balance in good standing extremely hard. With all of the outstanding fees they are charging it is impossible to get out account back in good standing.

Company: Synovus Bank (MN)

I am writing in response to your recent communication dated XX/XX/2023, regarding a balance of {$460.00} attributed to me, XXXX XXXX. As previously mentioned, I am willing to fully settle this account if corroborating documentation validating the authenticity of this claim is provided. 
Although I respect the protocols and systems used by SYNOVUS for risk management, it is my right to demand documentary evidence of the financial transactions involved, based on the provisions of the 15 U.S. Code 44. I am requesting all relevant documents, correspondences, books of account, and financial and corporate records related to this account.

Furthermore, pursuant to IRS Publication 583, I am requesting for a detailed breakdown of journal and ledger entries from the date the account was opened. I seek clarity regarding the origin of the funds and the current outstanding balance. 
Your response noted that the account charged off correctly on XX/XX/2023. However, I require comprehensive clarification on the application of 12 U.S.Code 83 relating to my account. This statute states, " No national bank shall make any loan or discount on the security of the shares of its own capital stock '', hence, I am keen on understanding how the balance was derived. 
Please understand, I am not seeking account deletion for making the payment, rather I want clarification of the issues raised above.
