Company: Pacific Union Financial, LLC (TX)

I made a mid month additional principle payment to my mortgage lender. They accepted said payment, but did not apply it stating they did not know what to do with it. They left it in a holding account. The additional principle is for minimizing interest and paying the mortgage off earlier. 
They want me to allow THEM access to bank draft and charge me a fee to do so. 
I find this situation unethical and disturbing in their practices.

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a serious matter that has come to my notice recently. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have discovered several fraudulent inquiries that I did not initiate. These unauthorized inquiries have significantly impacted my credit standing and raise concerns about potential identity theft.

I am deeply concerned about the presence of these fraudulent inquiries as they may not only damage my credit score but also indicate possible fraudulent activity on my personal information. I have taken great care to safeguard my sensitive details, and the existence of these inquiries has raised alarm bells regarding the security of my personal data.

I would like to emphasize that I did not authorize any entity, individual, or organization to inquire about my credit history. I demand immediate investigation and removal of these unauthorized inquiries from my credit report to rectify this distressing situation.

To assist in your investigation, I have enclosed a copy of my credit report, highlighting the suspicious inquiries in question. I urge you to take prompt action to rectify this matter and restore the accuracy of my credit history. Additionally, I request written confirmation once the inquiries have been removed and any corrective action has been taken.

Furthermore, I have already taken steps to protect myself from potential identity theft by placing fraud alerts with the three major credit bureaus. However, I am relying on your expertise and assistance in addressing this matter thoroughly and preventing any further damage to my credit reputation.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report, and I expect that this right will be fully respected throughout the resolution process.

I expect to receive your written response within 30 days of your receipt of this letter, as stipulated by the FCRA. Failure to respond within the stipulated timeframe may result in my escalation of this matter to the appropriate regulatory authorities and legal action if necessary.

Company: Onity Group Inc. (CA)

I submitted a Complete short sale package/Offer for {$28000.00} on XX/XX/2016. Ocwen/servicer for the note for XXXX of XXXX sent a denial on XX/XX/2016 that stated the offer was too low. I sent an Increased offer the same day XX/XX/2016 for {$290000.00} which is closer to the BPO amount of {$330000.00}. On XX/XX/2016 Ocwen sent another denial letter stating the offer was too low and to submit a higher offer. on XX/XX/2016 i submitted an offer of {$310000.00} and then again a full price offer of {$330000.00} the same day in case they denied the higher offer and yet again on XX/XX/2016 they denied the offer due to a confirmed sale date set for XX/XX/2016. I feel that Ocwen has been purposely been delaying this short sale approval as they have been servicing this loan for well over 5 years for the purpose of continuous servicing fees to the note holder. This is unfair and should be looked into and the home owner is in complete shock as to why they would continue with a sale while we are in final stages of negotiations. This truly makes no sense?
