Hi, I was on Covid forbearance with my FHA mortgage through XXXX XXXX. During Covid forbearance they were not supposed to report any late payments. When my time was up I did what they asked and started the process to remove myself from forbearance and restart the regular loan. While we were doing the process and I was waiting for them to approve everything they marked my account as late. It took them 2 months to get everything resolved on their end and they marked my mortgage late 30 days then 60 days. They told me that theyre allowed to do that while they were removing me off of forbearance, no matter what. They said anybody moving off of forbearance would be marked as late while they were removing them off of forbearance. It didnt make any sense to me. Now my credit is ruined for something I was told wouldnt happen if I went with the forbearance option during Covid. 


I also want to note that the first representative I spoke to gave me false information and tried to scare me. He implied that I was going to lose my house and he didnt offer me all of the options I had available to me. When they I totally approved my removal from forbearance they approved it with an offer I never asked for or approved. I then had to talk to someone else to get the right option approved of. This delayed the whole process and caused the payment to become 60 days late. 


I asked if I could make payments during this period to not be late and they told me I couldnt unless I paid the whole balance that wasnt paid during Covid forbearance. 


I felt extremely lost, anxious and really tricked during this whole process

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Under NAMES Experian has listed on their consumer report about me that I have 14 names. The 14 names are displayed with name ID numbers. The description for this section of the report indicates there are three different sources for the listings of the names. each of which may report your personal information differently. This is why there may be variations of your name address, Social Security Number, etc. My personal legal names in my lifetime are listed below. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and approved by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which is current as of XXXX. Does Experian dispute this? Experian has also reported on page 6 on their consumer report about me that SPOUSE OR CO-APPLICANT is XXXXXXXX Why is Experian using information from my former marriage of which I have been divorced since XXXX on their current credit report? Under ADDRESSES Why do the addresses have XXXX Codes and Address Ids? What is the purpose for the use of these codes? Under SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER VARIATIONS Experian as listed None How would I know if EXPERIAN is using my correct social security number in their Consumer Report about me? There is no numeric indication on this report displayed to me such as last four of the Social Security number which is typical on such document. Why is that omitted from this report? Under FORMER OR CURRENT EMPLOYERS Experian reports that I am self-employed and retired. My former employment history is completely missing from this report. I have paid Social Security and US income tax out of my paychecks from my employers since XXXX. Why is this employer information omitted from EXPERIANs Consumer report? 
In a previous complaint to CFPB, I asked why is EXPERIAN allowing soft inquires during a security freeze from the following companies : ID ME, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which are credit provider entities providing credit and insurance for people in New York. I did not apply for credit or a loan from any of them after XXXX XXXX so why are they being permitted access into my report? EXPERIAN has repeated " soft inquiries do not impact credit score '' and now " Soft inquiries are usually initiated by others, like companies making promotional offers of credit or your lender conducting periodic reviews of your existing credit accounts. '' I have none of those. EXPERIAN is inaccurate about me.
