Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC (AL)

I received a notice from SLS regarding its intention to foreclose on my home located at XXXX in XXXX GA. Included in the package was an application for alternatives to foreclosure which I completed and submitted. I then received a notice indicating that the property would be sold at auction on XX/XX/2016. 
I was told that I did not qualify for a modification because I had XXXX done during the past five years but would be considered for other programs. Meanwhile, I kept receiving requests for additional information to be part of my application. I submitted the requested documents and more requests kept coming in. I submitted the documents and was told that the sale would proceed as scheduled. 
After the sale date, I contacted SLS to find out the status of the property. I was transferred to various departments within the company until the phone eventually went dead. I could not determine what happened to the property. Finally, I received an eviction notice and moved out of the property. 
Earlier this year, I received a XXXX for debt forgiven in the amount of about {$130000.00}. I could not understand the document and called SLS to obtain an explanation. It was at that point that I learned that it was a short sale and not a foreclosure. I was told to submit my request for an explanation in writing which I did. I then received a letter indicating that I sent the request to the wrong address. I did not physically mail the letter but used an email address that I received from SLS. SLS indicated that they would respond to my request but have not done so to date.

On XX/XX/2020, an installment loan was taken out fraudulently with a company called XXXX, which I had never heard of. I noticed this issue a few months later and began disputing it with the credit bureaus. I was eventually able to get it removed from XXXX, but it is still showing up on my Equifax and XXXX credit reports. I have disputed it with each bureau multiple times over the last few years, and have even filed a police report about it. I have tried to contact the company to inform them that this account is not mine, but they won't even let me go far enough with their phone system because I don't know the phone number associated with my account. Despite numerous attempts to explain the situation and the dispute, Equifax and XXXX have not removed it from my credit report, and now it is seriously causing harm in my life because it is holding up my attempt to buy my first house. This account was opened fraudulently, and I need it removed from my credit report on Equifax and XXXX.

There was an agreement to a refund of about half of the money. She emailed me a settlement agreement and mutual release on XX/XX/2018.
