Complaint narrative:
We received notification that Newrez had paid a tax bill in the amount of {$7700.00} in XXXX of XXXX. Since this was significantly more that our previous bills, we investigated and found that there had been an error. We contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and proceeded to correct the tax bill error. 

An annual escrow analysis performed by Newrez, LLC in early XX/XX/year> projected an mortgage payment which is TWICE the amount we had been paying. We realized that payment of an erroneous tax bill ( as well as an increase in property insurance premium ) had caused an anticipated escrow shortage of {$11000.00}. 

After correcting the error with XXXX XXXX, we sent an escrow payment of {$7000.00} to Newrez, which the company received on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Newrez and spoke with XXXX, who assured me that she would request a new analysis based on the escrow payment made in order to substantially reduce the projected escrow deficit. 

I called again on XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ) and XXXX, when I spoke to XXXX. She mentioned the process should include updated tax information and that the new analysis should be completed by XX/XX/XXXX. A letter dateed XX/XX/year> was received from Newrez acknowledging our request. I called again to check the status on XXXX XXXX at which time I was told by XXXX that XXXX had never made the request for a new analysis. XXXX assured me that she would escalate my request to a supervisor, who would call me in XXXX business days from XXXX XXXX. To this date, no such call has been received. Also, on XXXX XXXX, 2024, I sent documentation from XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding the erroneous tax bill. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a mortgage payment of {$800.00} ( assuming a legitimate increase based on increase in property insurance premium ). Today ( XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX called to request additional payment of {$680.00}. When I asked about the new escrow analysis, I was told it was still not complete and would not reduce our mortgage payment for this month. My husband and I are in our XXXX on fixed income ; my husband is also a XXXX veteran. We can not afford to pay twice the current amount for our mortgage!

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report that has not been addressed despite my prior attempts to correct these errors directly with the credit bureaus. My credit report currently lists several inquiries, addresses, employment history, and name variations that are incorrect and were not authorized or associated with me. Specifically, I am seeing addresses where I have never resided, outdated employment details that do not reflect my current or recent work history, and name misspellings that create confusion and suggest identity inaccuracies. Additionally, there are unauthorized inquiries that I did not initiate, which may have been added without proper verification. I believe this incorrect reporting is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to maintain accurate and fair reporting. I am requesting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's assistance in ensuring that the credit bureaus conduct a thorough investigation and promptly correct these inaccuracies. These errors are affecting my credit profile and could impact my ability to secure credit, housing, and employment.

I was given an AMEX XXXX Card for {$250.00} by my company as a holiday gift and it is declined from every single retailer that I have tried to use online.

I was not even given the ability to speak to a human being to resolve this. 

I also checked online, and other customers are sharing this experience.
