On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Dear Equifax I have contacted the furnisher who placed these inaccurate inquiries on my credit report. I asked them to provide me with proof that I gave them authorization to pull my credit report. As of today, they have not provided with the proof that is required. Because of that they had no permissible permission to pull my credit reports. 

After researching on the internet, it states a company needs authorization to pull a consumers credit report. This company did not have that authorization. They have violated the law, and I will hold them accountable. Because of their violations, Im asking your company to follow the law and delete these unauthorized inquiries Here are the inquiries : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Furnisher comments on my report are inaccurate. Please contact the creditor and have them fix this.

Im tracking all letters sent and received from you. If these inquiries are not deleted, then I press forward with complaints to the Attorney Generals Office and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

My debit card was used around XXXX XXXX XXXX fraudulently. There were purchases made totaling {$870.00}. I reported to the bank I did not make these charges. The gave me credit then " investigated '' the claim. After approximately 30 days they took {$870.00} from my account which left me overdraft # XXXX. After contacting them they informed me they believed that either myself or someone I know made the charges because whoever used my card knew my pin. That's odd because no one knows my PIN and the many food establishments it was used at does not ask for a pin especially if ordering online. So how did they determine this information. They have ripped me off and now I have taken my business elsewhere but I will have this overdrawn account over my head.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (CT)

I fell behind on my mortgage because my monthly payment increased from {$1600.00} per month to {$4700.00} per month. I hired an attorney to help me submit a request for a loan modification and my full application request was sent to Nationstar Mortgage. I was denied for a loan modification on XXXX/XXXX/2016 by Nationstar Mortgage. The reason given was due to " Investor does not allow loan modifications. '' They also state the investor / owner of my loan is XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX My attorney states that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . does offer loan modifications and Nationstar Mortgage does participate in the Making Home Affordable program. Therefore Nationstar Mortgage is obligated to contact XXXX XXXX Bank and ask them to waive the restriction to allow a loan modification on my loan as an exception. 
I looked up online with the XXXX web site and it says ... '' If a PSA contains such a restriction ( not to allow loan modifications ), the servicer MUST make " reasonable efforts '' to get the investor to waive the restriction. Meaning Nationstar is supposed to contact the investor of my loan, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and ask them to waive the restriction to allow my loan to be reviewed for a loan modification. I do not believe they have made any effort at all to ask my investor to waive this restriction. According to the HAMP participation agreement, my attorney states Nationstar has an obligation to do this. They have not. 

Their letter simply states due to that restriction, " Nationstar, as the servicer, can not evaluate you for a loan modification ''. It says nothing about contacting XXXX XXXX XXXX to ask for that restriction to be waived and I am certain they have n't made a reasonable effort to contact them. 

I do not believe Nationstar Mortgage has made any effort to ask the investor of my loan ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) to waive the restriction " not to modify ''. My attorney states Nationstar Mortgage ( and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. ) are both participating in the Making Home Affordable Program and therefore Nationstar Mortgage MUST make an effort to ask the owner of my loan to waive the restriction and review my loan for HAMP or regular loan modification. I do not believe for one minute that there is no help for someone who 's mortgage payment increased from {$1600.00} per month to {$4700.00} per month. This is absolutely outrageous, unacceptable and predatory.

Our current mortgage balance is ~ $ XXXX, Freedom 's marketing alerts claim " Estimated Home Value is {$240000.00} '' The facts are clear that it is unethical to continue charging PMI on this property and mortgage. The marketing to get people further hooked into debt on " easy Cash '' ploys is despicable as well.

I submitted a dispute regarding accounts on my credit report. I reached out to the credit card companies for validation of debt and they have refused to do so.

Each time I dispute the accounts instead of removing them they add late payments or adjust the payment history/dates on the accounts. Now the accounts are being reported as charge off.

I have been researching and looking up my consumer rights under FCRA law section 623. I am entitled to a reasonable investigation. My rights under 15 USC 1692g,1681A1A and 1681s-2 have been violated. The accounts listed below do not follow FCRA.
