In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft.

Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

Complaint narrative:
HELP. 
My loan was sold by XXXX XXXX to Mr. Cooper. My escrow keeps going up with NO real explanation from them. There was no letter sent to me in regard to the escrow shortages. The interesting thing is. Had I not logged into my account a couple months ago, I would not have known that I had shortage then. That shortage was just under {$200.00}. I paid {$200.00} just to add some extra to the escrow. No problem I thought. BUT, I can't see that payment anywhere. Even though I see it on my bank account. Then I went on 2 days ago and NOW there is another shortage for well over {$800.00}. No explanation. I can not get a hold of a LIVE PERSON. Mr. Coopers live chat only allows you to ask certain questions. And there is no way to write your question or response to their chat. So, I have been calling and calling them. These criminals will not connect you to anyone to help you resolve your issues. What the heck are they hiding. I do not know what to do. I will start the refinance process with another mortgage company. Please look into them Also, SHAME ON XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX for selling people 's mortgages to these criminals. 

Best, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Complaint narrative:
I wish to underscore that the inclusion of inaccurately reported late payment remarks on my accounts not only raises significant concerns but also represents a blatant violation of the regulations delineated in the 15 USC 1666. This statute, an integral component of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically aims to safeguard consumers against unjust billing practices and mandates the accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment associated with these accounts has been diligently and promptly rendered within the specified timeframes. Therefore, any deviation from this precise reporting not only undermines my financial integrity but also contravenes the legal protections enshrined within this statute. It is imperative to promptly rectify this situation to ensure compliance with the law and uphold the rights of consumers.
