I have items passed on that should be taken out or blocked. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate any records recorded on an ID THEFT REPORT. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more. I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.

Company: MORGAN STANLEY & CO. LLC (CA)

I authorized ACH transfers from my account. The bank entered two of those transfers twice resulting in an artificially low balance in my account. Later transfers and payments would thus be declined as insufficient funds were reflected in the account for such payments, all resulting in fees/penalties from the payees.

The bank stated that it was aware of the issue and was trying to address it, but could not say when it would be solved and would not take any action to specifically address the deficiency in my account or prevent the consequences. 

The bank told me I should put more money in the account to cover the pending payments that would otherwise be rejected due to the artificially low balance.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC (ME)

To Whom It XXXX Concern : I am writing to formally complain about my mortgage lender 's failure to pay my property tax bills for the XXXX tax year. In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notice of lien from my taxing authority for unpaid taxes on my property. 

Upon reviewing my payment history, my lender 's records show payments being made to my taxing authority ; however, my taxing authority has no record of these funds. 

Since then, I have contacted my lender multiple times to resolve this issue on the following dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. During each call, I was informed that my case was being escalated and that the tax department was working to communicate with my taxing authority. I requested updates and call-backs, but no one ever contacted me. 

Before my call to the lender on XX/XX/XXXX, I confirmed with my taxing authority that the lender had never attempted to contact them. During my call on XX/XX/XXXX, I included my taxing authority on the call to facilitate communication. My taxing authority requested a history of payments made in an email following this call, but they never received a response. 

As of XX/XX/XXXX, a lien has been officially placed on my home due to unpaid taxes. The lender has yet to review the appropriate documents, take steps to rectify their tax error, or submit payment. The lender is unable or unwilling to provide payment details regarding the multiple tax payments that were withdrawn from my escrow account but not paid to my taxing authority. I am still awaiting resolution. 

This situation is causing significant distress and potential financial harm. I request immediate action to resolve this matter. Please provide a detailed explanation of the steps being taken to correct this error and ensure that my tax payments are properly processed. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Okay. Apparently, the problem with Resurgent / LVNV has NOT been resolved. This is a continuation of complaints XXXX and XXXX. Those two complaints dealt with the fact Ive had a standing agreement with this collector for the past two years to only contact me in writing. In XXXX of this year, one of their third-party collectors did something goofy with my account and started calling me again in violation to my written FDCPA request. The underlying problem is : the response Resurgent submitted through the CFPB on XX/XX/XXXX doesnt say A SINGLE WORD about the violating phone calls, when that was the whole reason for the complaint! As for the reason Im filing this new complaint : On Thursday XX/XX/XXXX, I received two long letters from Resurgent that were written as if I had contacted them for debt validation. On Friday XX/XX/XXXX, I received a third exact letter with several pages of debt validation. And on Saturday XX/XX/XXXX, I received a fourth very short letter that just says Resurgent has issued a review of my inquiry. I NEVER requested debt validation! The first three letters I received in the past two days are completely identical. The fourth letter is the only different one. I also received a one-page letter at the beginning of the week ( Monday XX/XX/XXXX ) that was very similar or identical to last letter I received on Saturday XX/XX/XXXX, but I threw it away when I received it, because it didnt say anything substantial. You guys at Resurgent are going positively insane with this debt validation mail. Why are you spamming me with all these debt validation letters, when the problem was never about debt validation to begin with?! The problem was the illegal phone calls that violated my FDCPA request!
