Complaint narrative:
I'm writing to express my appreciation to you for your efforts to have some of the false accounts on my credit report removed. But my gratitude is eclipsed by my intense anguish and despair over my identity theft dispute 's unresolved status. 

It is discouraging that not all of the accounts I am challenging have received attention, even though I appreciate the actions that have been performed. I'm left feeling unsettled and upset by this unfinished business, since it puts my mental and financial security at risk. 

I urge your bureau to recognize the importance of finishing the work you have started. It is essential that all the fraudulent accounts that have been reported are thoroughly investigated and removed promptly. Piecemeal resolution only prolongs the anguish I have endured as a victim of identity theft. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have already removed this account from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I would like to know why this company makes it so difficult to get answers. There is no help or message/contact us on their website under our loan. Why? Its like they avoid customers. They are awful to deal with. There is no separate escrow department with staff that deals with only this. They expect anyone to help you who picks up the phone and they are not knowledgeable. 
This is about our escrow shortage. We called in regards to this months ago, late summer or early fall, and spoke with an incompetent rep who had no idea what she was doing. She could not answer specific questions in regard to our escrow shortage, how much it actually is, where it went, are our payments going to go up, etc., etc. We asked for a supervisor and she left us on hold over XXXX minutes and then eventually disconnected the call. We were so frustrated we never called back. The reason we even called was in response to a letter we received, that i had a shortage of well over XXXX. 
When we entered into our forebearance during the pandemic we specifically discussed our concerns with escrow shortages. We were told everything was going to be put at the end of the loan and our payments would not go up. Then when we were ready to go back to paying that was not the case. They tried to not only raise our payments but also raise our interest rate! We had a huge battle, causing us to delay going back to payment for at least another XXXX months. It was a nightmare. Now we have a big escrow shortage. We want to know where this came from, we want it broken down. Why so much? Our taxes are not that high in XXXX. We were told our payments were not going to go up as a result of the shortage the last time we called but we frankly don't believe it. How could it not? That is impossible. Even if its not, fine, its still being added onto our loan. It never seems to go down. It was showing XXXX for over XXXX years now. We are not catching up. We want this explained to us, in detail.
