To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report.

I am writing to address the presence of unauthorized transactions in my consumer report, which I did not authorize or instruct. As a result, I formally request the blocking and removal of these accounts without any inaccuracies or misrepresentation of facts. Below, I have listed the specific accounts in question : It appears that your organization may be violating 15 U.S.C 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ), which prohibits a consumer report from solely containing information about transactions or experiences between the consumer and the entity reporting the information. 

This statute explicitly states that XXXX, as the reporting entity, should not include transactions or experiences associated with the line of credit extended between the consumer and the reporting entity in my consumer report. 

I urge you to promptly update my utilization to 5 % or below within XXXX calendar days or remove all utilization from the mentioned accounts. 

Furthermore, I request that you provide all documents on which you rely for reporting the referenced accounts, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ). The information you are reporting is damaging to my reputation and adversely affecting my creditworthiness.

Therefore, I demand the removal of these accounts from my file within 30 days, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), or verification of these accounts.

Additionally, along with the removal of erroneous and unverified information, kindly eliminate all non-account holding inquiries older than 30 days.

Failure to provide a satisfactory response with the deletion of the mentioned utilization and inquiries will result in legal action against your company, for which I will seek {$1000.00} per violation : Defamation of Character Civil Liability Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 U.S.C 1681 violations for willful noncompliance - XXXX.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (CA)

Mr. Cooper CFPB Complaint Summary The mortgage company, Mr. Cooper, failed to pay property tax bill due XX/XX/XXXX from escrow account. We called Mr. Cooper roughly six times with no resolution. Having lost confidence in Mr. Cooper to address the issue, my wife and I paid our property tax bill on XX/XX/XXXX from our personal bank account with the accrued 10 % late fee. The property tax bill was {$3800.00}. The late fee was {$380.00}. The total paid from personal bank account was {$4200.00}. Mr. Cooper failed to address the issue and in most cased failed to even acknowledge the issue. We requested our escrow account be closed on XX/XX/XXXX and received confirmation of escrow closure from Mr. Cooper on XX/XX/XXXX. We received our escrow funds on XX/XX/XXXX. However, the 10 % late fee that was paid from our personal account, not from escrow, was not refunded as was indicated it would be. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, we called Mr. Cooper and requested a refund for the 10 % late fee that we paid out of pocket. The representative at the time acknowledged that Mr. Cooper failed to pay our taxes and that the late fee was incurred. The representative acknowledged that we paid the bill out of pocket and that Mr. Cooper owed us a refund for the late fee. She gave instructions on how to request the refund, which included faxing the following to Mr. Cooper : 1 ) cover letter explaining the issue 2 ) copy of the property tax bill 3 ) property tax payment receipt showing we paid the bill with late fee. The documents were faxed on XX/XX/XXXX. No response was received from Mr. Cooper. 

Over four to six subsequent calls to Mr. Cooper, the issue was explained over and over, to a new representative each time with no prior knowledge of the case. Each representative had different responses. Some clearly acknowledged we were owed the 10 % late fee of {$380.00}, while others insisted Mr. Cooper owed us nothing. None acknowledged that a fax was received, even after verifying the fax number on the fax confirmation page. Each call ended with Mr. Cooper assuring me a refund check was coming for the late fee. Two representatives said they would call back the following day after researching, and never did. 

Again, on XX/XX/XXXX, I called Mr. Cooper to follow-up and, again, I had to explain the issue for the first time to a new representative with no prior knowledge of the case. After approximately 15 minutes the representative, XXXX XXXX agreed that Mr. Cooper owed us a refund for the 10 % late fee. He apologized and provided his email address at Mr. Cooper to follow up if we hadn't received a check in 15 business days. After waiting the recommended period, no check came. I followed up with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and received no response. This was the final correspondence. 

It is my believe that Mr. Cooper has no intention of refunding our late fee of {$350.00}.
