I closed on my first new home on XX/XX/2023, and took a loan for {$690000.00} with a 6.5 % interest rate. This was an interest only mortgage. {$4900.00} was paid at closing. Of this amount, {$1300.00} went to Interest and {$3500.00} went to Escrow. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, my first mortgage payment was due and {$5500.00} was removed from my checking account on Autopayment ( {$3700.00} of Interest and {$1700.00} to Escrow ). 

For whatever reason, the bank made an error and is saying they sent me back {$1700.00} and I still owe my XXXX mortgage payment and now my XXXX mortgage payment which was supposed to be auto-debited, and was not. 

Therefore, Citizens Bank has made multiple errors in this process : XXXX ) Stole the money from my first mortgage payment, and is saying I didn't pay it ( even though they have records of my payment ), 2 ) Not auto-paying my 2nd mortgage payment or allowing me to make a 2nd mortgage payment and stating I owe 2 mortgage payments values, and 3 ) The most critical thing to overcome is that Citizens Bank filed a report with the Credit Bureau saying I missed my first mortgage payment, which is categorically false and this is the most important thing that must be resolved on their end. As my credit score dropped nearly XXXX points from Citizens Bank 's gross incompetence.

I am aware that, despite customers providing precise information, your responses to numerous disputes, complaints, and challenges have been using pre-written standard form letters. I understand that this practice is unlawful because each customer complaint should be individually considered and addressed accordingly. 

My letters have been created using readily available software accessible to everyone. Choosing not to process or address my letters would violate 15 U.S. Code 1681i. Delays in processing consumer letters based on the assumption that third-party assistance may be available are illegal and do not qualify as a legal exception. I am the sole author of any letters bearing my name, or they have been written by my advisors with my full knowledge and consent. Failure to respond to my correspondence promptly will be interpreted as a willful disregard for my customer rights, and I will be compelled to involve my lawyer and pursue legal action. 

According to FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( l ) ) and the accepted Metro 2 data field reporting standard, I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe to be inaccurate. It is crucial that all data in a consumer 's file is properly documented and validated before being made available for use by creditors. Therefore, I take this matter seriously. 

The allegations of delinquency and derogatory information against me are entirely false, and I am unwilling to accept any misinformation associated with my name and financial history. I am determined to fight back vigorously. The accuracy of your credit report is paramount. The listed allegations fail to meet federal or state reporting requirements and can not be substantiated. I challenge these claims due to their failure to comply with basic reporting standards, which would instill greater confidence in the accuracy of the information presented. 

It is your responsibility to maintain and report data with complete accuracy and compliance. Reporting claims that you know do not meet regulatory requirements is unacceptable. We must ensure that all claims are accurate and reported in the appropriate format mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and reporting standards such as METRO 2. I kindly request that you handle this matter with the utmost care and diligence.

On XX/XX/year>, someone tried to open a XXXX XXXX  Account with my information. I immediately notified XXXX, my credit union, and alerted the XXXX major credit monitoring services and froze my credit. I'm applying for a loan and I needed to unfreeze my accounts. I was able to do this with ease with XXXX and XXXX, but when I went to Experian it told me first that my phone number didn't match, then it kept saying it sent a code to my cell and it never came, then I had it call my phone and it never came. Another screen I tried said my birthdate didn't match my social. So I tried to call three different phone numbers to try and talk to a human, but I kept getting caught in the " report a fraud '' automated loop. I want to reclaim my information from whom ever has stolen my Experian information, but there is no information found easily on the Experian Website on what to do if your Experian account was hacked and stolen. 

It looks like this is becoming a common problem for people too. Please help.
