Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (RI)

My mortgage was sold from XXXX XXXX to Mr. Cooper about two years ago. In the first year my mortgage was serviced by Mr. Cooper they failed to make the homeowner 's insurance in time and my policy lapsed. Luckily my Insurance broker was able to resolve the issue in a timely manner, but given that I am forced to escrow my insurance premiums to prevent against this very issue seems unacceptable.

This year, Mr. Cooper " lost my insurance information '' and didn't know where to send the payment. They didn't reach out to my insurance broker to ask for the information until well after the policy had lapsed and now I am going to have to come out of pocket {$600.00} and sign a " no loss '' statement because of their complete lack of competence. What if, XXXX XXXX, there was a major storm or fire at my house during this time ; I
wouldn't have had any insurance coverage because they failed to make the payment. Again, I am forced to escrow funds for my insurance payments every month for this very purpose, the mortgage company doesn't trust their borrowers to make their payments on time and in full. However, in every instance since Mr. Cooper has serviced my mortgage they have failed to do this very simple thing.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

I have repeatedly sent letters to XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax requesting the removal of old, outdated, and incorrect information from my credit reports, but they have failed to respond or take any action. This negligence is highly concerning as it affects my financial standing and could harm my reputation with future employers and creditors. 

Despite providing proof of my correct personal information and identity, including copies of my Driver License, Social Security Card, and Utility Bill, the credit reporting agencies have not made the necessary corrections. This inaccurate reporting creates a misleading image of my credit history, suggesting I have lived at multiple addresses simultaneously with different phone numbers and employers. 

I demand that XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax promptly remove all the incorrect information from my credit reports as it is damaging and misleading. Their failure to address these issues is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and I expect immediate action to rectify this situation to avoid any further consequences on my financial well-being.

I am filing this CFPB complaint to request, pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), that you, the Experian credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of receiving this complaint. 

The fraudulent, inaccurate, and false information on my report includes the following : A charge-off account with XXXX XXXX, marked as charged off as bad debt, with a balance of ( private ), updated in XX/XX/XXXX. A hard inquiry from XXXX, recorded on XX/XX/XXXX. Collections reporting includes XXXX XXXXXXXX with the original creditor being XXXX, balance of ( private ), updated on XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX with the original creditor being XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, balance of ( private ), updated on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX with the original creditor being XXXXXXXX XXXX, balance of ( private ), updated on XX/XX/XXXX ; and XXXX with the original creditor being XXXX  balance of ( private ), updated on XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TN)

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information reported on my credit report concerning a charge-off. Below are the details of the account in question : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number:XXXX  Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year>XXXX  It has come to my attention that this charge-off is being reported repeatedly monthly, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should be reported only once, reflecting the date it was charged off. 
Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of this charge-off misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score. Furthermore, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the initial delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Repeatedly reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reflect the statute of limitations and is therefore improper.

I request an immediate investigation into this matter and the correction of my credit report by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide written confirmation of these corrections.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter
