The first dispute letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, I am yet to receive a response too. I have called and returned calls and still I havent gotten a resolution to the issue I stated in the beginning of this letter. In preparing letters I have reviewed the statements received showing that I am past due. According to my bank every payment has been paid. There are multiple payments made and yet to be applied correctly. I have yet to see payments applied where the will show a past due status. 
Since the sale of my loan to Carrington has had nothing problems. Now my credit score has gone from XXXX to XXXX, because of the mishandling of my payments. I have called and received calls and yet no one seems to have the ability or experience to resolve the issue. I didnt have any problems with XXXX. 
After reviewing Carrington posting history my payment seems to be all over the place. As I following the fund received there are funds in the suspense column with each payments posted. I would a written explanation. I have also included my bank account printout of payments issued and the date processed ; and all letters and confirmations submitted to reconcile the account. 
I will be sending a copy all letters to file a formal complaint to all regulatory agencies ; who will investigate Carrington Mortgage Services , LLC and your practices. 


Thank you, XXXX XXXX
