Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue with the loan closing
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (NM)

I recently received notice in the mail that my loan was going to be transferred to a new servicer. Today, XX/XX/24, I received a welcome email with details about my loan with the new servicer. The details of the loan are completely inaccurate. First off the email is addressed to an XXXX, which isn't me. After checking the status of the loan transfer on the company site the details about the interest rate and payment amount are completely wrong. What's the most concerning is that in order to check the details I had to provide the last 4 of my SSN, which was determined to be correct since I was able to view the details after providing it with the loan number. I'm concerned that my SSN is now being associated with some completely different person and their loan. I attempted to contact the new servicer to try and have the issue addressed but they told me they couldn't do anything because it was still in the transfer process and hasn't been finalized. I have attached the chat conversation that I had with them to try and resolve the errors

Issue: Opening an account — Account opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MN)

In the middle of XX/XX/XXXX through XXXX of XXXX, we have received multiple letters from Wells Fargo informing us about Identity theft protection accounts that were opened with our social security/names that was never communicated with us nor had our permission to open them. Just to be clear, this wasnt one or two accounts, rather, XXXX accounts between my wife and I. These accounts were opened in span of one to two-year period starting XXXX XXXX. It was a complete shocking for us to this day to find out that all these accounts were opened without our knowledge and/or consent to open and again, we have never authorized WF to open them. 
As working family of XXXX with minimum wage salary, you can imagine every cent counts and we remember sometime XXXX, XXXX, we had multiple overdrafts in our accounts that was due to monthly service fees beside actual account service fees that was made to our joint checking account and when inquired about the overdrafts at the time, we were led to believe it was an additional service that we signed up and the monthly service fees from those services made the account to go overdraft. Additionally, I remember the personal banker telling us to close the account and open a new one with the assumption that no further overdrafts will be assess on the account and that is exactly what we did. Even accepting the recommendations from the personal banker did not produce any great outcomes, and we still faced the same issues the subsequence months. Sometimes, we will have account service fees and identity theft service fees coming at ones resulting in XXXX, XXXX or even XXXX overdrafts each {$34.00} dollar. After that, we visited our local Wells Fargo branch located in XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, MN XXXX ) to speak with manager and the resolution from that meeting did not meet the required result we believe was fair with the situation and the ultimatum that was given to us was to just to close the accounts and find else were to do our banking. We insisted to find out who opened the accounts and to show us proof from account signatures and video cameras to indicate if either of us have opened the account, the manager refused and said our time here is done, please go to a different branch or call Wells Fargo customer service. We try to speak with higher authority, but that didnt result in any outcome. Fast forward, 13 years later, the same concern we had period have to came to lights and Wells Fargo is trying to connect with customers like and with intent to still make things not right.

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
