I am writing to urgently address the fraudulent accounts that have been reported on my credit file. I am a victim of identity theft, and these negative accounts are the result of criminal activities conducted without my knowledge or consent. It is essential that these inaccuracies be rectified immediately to prevent further harm to my credit standing. The fraudulent accounts in question were opened by someone close to me, who stole my personal information and used it to open accounts in my name. After becoming aware of these unauthorized activities, I contacted the respective banks, who have acknowledged the situation and agreed to remove the fraudulent accounts from their records. To support my claim, I have submitted the necessary Identity Theft Report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and I have attached a copy of this report for your reference. The banks have confirmed the identity theft and are aware that the accounts were opened without my authorization.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being.

I am XXXX XXXX I am a XXXX. 
I called Loan Care Loss Draft at XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/2023 I spoke with a person who did not identify who they were. They Never Do Loan Number # XXXX Property Address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX CO XXXX. 

Loan Care has told me and my client XXXX XXXX XXXX that they were sending out his final payment that Loan Care has been holding since XXXX of {$17000.00} The person I spoke with today is very vague about what exactly XXXX XXXX needs to send out his payment to him. But of course, no payment will be sent if we don't do exactly what they say.

Previously I've had a rep say you need to send us a piece of paper saying what he's been paid- I said okay what amount is that- she's like uhhh let me check -- after a few minutes she comes back with I'm not sure but we can't release payment until we get that- that was someone else earlier this year and they did send out partial payment- everyone has a totally different set of rules they tell us and our clients to do to get their money. 

XXXX XXXX has been waiting on his final check of {$17000.00} since XXXX. He requested a {$15000.00} draw months ago that he never got and never was told he wasn't going to get. 

XXXX mailed Loan Care a {$62000.00} check around XX/XX/2023 and they release back to him {$45000.00} XX/XX/2023 and they are holding the rest. 

It is unjust to make our country 's elderly veterans jump through hoops and call numerous times to try to figure out how to pay their contractors. This has caused XXXX XXXX XXXX worry and stress he is underserving of. 

I as his friend but also his XXXX have the responsibility to seek answers for him that your rep today tried extremely hard to not give us. 

This job has been done, we sent in the certificate of completion. Loan Care makes no effort to contact XXXX XXXX or the XXXX with items needed. They have lied for months that they're sending out payment- Infact the lady today said the check was sent out then canceled? XXXX XXXX has not received a check let alone a cancelled one. 

Please review this call today to improve your reps training. This isn't a game to keep someone's money the longest- you are unfair to people who have done nothing to you.
