Back in XXXX, i was a Wells Fargo Customer. I was struggling to make my mortgage payments. Wells Fargo gave me 2 options to relieve some of the stress. Lock in my Adjustable rate mortgage which they told me would be approved if i did it at a certain date before the mortgage started to adjust. I was denied. Then with the new payments increasing every so often it became harder to keep up with payments. After a couple of Modification attempts always denied. It became clear Wells Fargo wasn't going to help me at all only alternative was Foreclosure Proceedings, which took the life out of my family and myself.

I urgently request that your agency conducts a thorough and expeditious investigation into the matter, removes the fraudulent items from my credit report, and provides written confirmation of the corrections made. Additionally, I seek clear communication on the progress of the investigation and the steps being taken to resolve this issue. 

If my concerns are not addressed within the specified timeframe from the date of this letter, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter to regulatory authorities and explore legal avenues to protect my consumer rights.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. ()

I am having a problem accessing my credit information. In the XXXX 's after I retired from the XXXX the XXXX  had SSN numbers compromised because an employee took SSN data home and it somehow got compromised, So at the time all 3 credit agencies ( Equifax, XXXX and XXXX ) sent me letters with permanent PIN numbers that I could use to access my account. Now none will honor any PIN number and my address has changed many times through the years especially during COVID. So now when I try to log-on I do not know what address they have on file for me so consequently the online question identity process always ends with information not matching what they have. I would go there in person with my passport but they do not allow that. Consequently I can not get into my own credit file. I am financially stable and do not need to get any loans and I have diligently paid off all my credit cards and always have had a score over XXXX. But now I learned that one card ( XXXX XXXX ) has lowered my credit score by about XXXX points. That is unheard of for me and I want to know why or what happened but I can not find out because i am essentially locked out from accessing my credit information with each of the three agencies. And the other problem is that my other bank still shows my credit score at exceptional XXXX. I worry about that XXXX point drop from XXXX XXXX and I don't know why it happened, Maybe someone has stolen my identity or applied for some account in my name? I have no way of finding out! When I do my taxes I sign up for credit monitoring with XXXX XXXX but I hear nothing from them either. I need to know what is going on instead of helplessly standing by while my credit is damaged for who knows what reason.
