Subject : FCRA / Mortgage Fraud Complaint False Reporting of Foreclosure & Closed Account-Not a duplicate Complaint Credit Profile of Consumer altered and Affected cc : XXXX Background and Case History This complaint concerns XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and substitute trustee XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I am XXXX in XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a XXXX XXXX action arising from mail fraud, forged documents, and fraudulent foreclosure practices. 

Expert testimony and documentary evidence filed in the XXXX XXXX real property records proved that XXXX and its agents engaged in fraud. 

After suit was filed, foreclosure proceedings were stopped. 

Despite this, XXXX XXXX  has reported on my credit file that the mortgage account is closed and in foreclosure as of XX/XX/year>. This is false, misleading, and has not been corrected despite multiple disputes and foreclosure stopped. 

Violations and Harm False Credit Reporting FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) ) Furnishing inaccurate information by reporting a foreclosure when no lawful foreclosure has occurred.

Refusal to update the account despite repeated disputes and submission of documentary proof.

Mail Fraud & Misrepresentation As previously evidenced in court, XXXX and its agents knowingly used fraudulent documents XXXX XXXX records to attempt foreclosure. Continuing to report a foreclosure tradeline compounds this fraud. 

Failure to Investigate Disputes FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) XXXX claims to have responded to CFPB disputes but has never provided chain of title, assignment, or ownership proof. XXXX continues to mislead CFPB into thinking they have responded and have not. They will send another coupon statement as response. Still no proof of ownership. 

Reporting continues unchanged despite clear documentary evidence and ongoing litigation. 

XXXX Harm and Actual Damages As an XXXXprotected XXXX veteran, the false foreclosure tradeline has directly harmed me. 

It has destroyed my credit profile, prevented me from renting vehicles needed for mobility while my car is under repair, and caused irreparable financial and emotional harm. When I went to renew my rental agreement for additional days, my account as flagged " do not rent '' due this on report. My things were placed out of vehicle and left outside of XXXX parking lot while I had to wait and pay for XXXX  to take me to XXXX  and XXXX XXXX 

XXXX also continues engaging in mail fraud sending security instruments to the wrong address. They have been informed at least 7 times to stop sending previous owners information to trust address and refuse. We in turn just send it back noting they once again sent to incorrect address as no XXXX XXXX resides at the XXXX XXXX nor receive mail there. Neither myself or XXXX XXXX own the property in question and although the credit bureaus received notice, after the last complaint to CFPB they attempted illegal non judicial foreclosure which was stopped because we reported verified mortgage fraud and that they had no standing to foreclose. This what led to the XXXX XXXX  Suit still ongoing. 

The third party agency ( XXXX XXXX and Equifax ) after sending notice and evidence, not only refuse to acknowledge it but updated this tradeline to : " closed, foreclosure proceedings taking place '' These third party agencies did this without notice per USC 1681. 

XXXX never notified the trust this was happening nor myself which they tried to charge the foreclosure against and I do not own the XXXX XXXX  in question. They would have foreclosed on two people that don't even owned the property and a mortgage audit not discovered this and investigation into XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The homestead in question is barred form non judicial foreclosure as well. This not a duplicate complaint. They have now moved on to damage credit report. 

Also, XXXX has no power of attorney over myself or the previous owner XXXX XXXX which is reflected in IRS documents. They were also provided with per law, notification that they had no authority and was revoked form reporting anything to third party agencies yet they continue to report information without authority or permission and refuse to update equifax, XXXX, and XXXX  on this. This was revived by them via registered mail and sent to their trustee. 

We reserve the right to add other defendants to Quiet Title suit as discovery progresses. 

Damage compounded by loss of transportation and daily XXXXrelated hardship. 

Damages Claimed ( as of XX/XX/year> ) Loss of creditworthiness, denial of vehicle rentals. 

XXXX XXXX, humiliation, and hardship caused by foreclosure reporting. 

XXXXrelated damages due to loss of transportation and mobility access. 

Out-of-pocket costs and continuing damages from inability to obtain basic services. 

Total damages sought : To be determined in litigation, but no less than statutory damages under the FCRA plus actual damages ( estimated in excess of {$5000.00} and increasing daily ). 

Relief Requested Immediate removal of the false foreclosure tradeline from all consumer credit bureaus. 
Removal of the tradeline until XXXX Proves Legal Standing other than sending coupon statement. 

Written confirmation that XXXX has corrected all consumer reporting related to this account. 

Full accounting of what documents XXXX relied upon to report foreclosure status.
