Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (MD)

Hi, I have XXXX mortgages with Nationstar Mortgage, all of which are automatically deducted from my checking accounts. In XXXX, I was the victim of identity theft which prompted my bank to lock out access to my accounts. Unbeknownst to me, this prevented my accounts from automatically paying XXXX of the loans ( XXXX ). 
Nationstar did not notify me of this problem in writing ; its agents called, but inexplicably failed to leave messages so I had no way of knowing who was calling. Moreover, I was on extended travel in a remote location and so could not access my accounts to investigate any potential problem. 
I called Nationstar and paid the past due amount, the current amount, the next installment and restored the auto-pay feature. I even paid the {$4.00} penalty. 
I asked Nationstar to consider removing the derogatory incident from my credit report given that it was caused directly by identity theft and that I had made a good faith effort to correct it. Nationstar asked me to submit proof - which I did - via email but then did not respond. In addition, it assessed an inexplicable {$3.00} charge to my next statement.

I am writing to express my profound distress and frustration regarding the extended period of over a year during which I have received no response to my claims of identity theft from your bureau. 

The weight of this ordeal has grown increasingly burdensome as each day passes without resolution. My attempts to seek justice and protection against the heinous crime of identity theft have gone unanswered for an inexcusable length of time. 

It is deeply disheartening to think that despite my diligent efforts to provide the necessary documentation and follow your bureau 's guidelines, I remain in a state of distress, insecurity, and uncertainty. The toll this has taken on my financial stability and emotional well-being can not be overstated. 

XXXX XXXX I expect a written acknowledgment of this dispute letter and a commitment to investigate my identity theft claims thoroughly and promptly. The law mandates a timely response, and I insist that your bureau fulfils these legal obligations without further delay.

I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment regarding the presence of fraudulent accounts on my credit report, as indicated by your bureau. These accounts are unequivocally fraudulent and has been acknowledged as such by the relevant company, which has taken steps to eliminate it from their records. Despite my repeated attempts to have these fraudulent accounts removed from my credit report, your bureau has failed to act. This failure is unacceptable and has had a detrimental effect on my credit score and overall financial standing. It is worth noting that other major credit bureaus, such as XXXX and XXXX, have promptly removed these fraudulent accounts from their records after confirming its fraudulent nature. Your bureau 's failure to do the same is deeply concerning and raises questions about your commitment to fair and accurate reporting. I insist that you immediately remove these fraudulent accounts from my credit report and provide written confirmation of its removal. Failure to do so will result in further action being taken against your bureau for negligence and misconduct.
