State: FL

Complaint narrative:
It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts, or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA, TransUnion is required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$14000.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX FL XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2022 ; If TransUnion XXXX there is a possibility these items belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each item is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If TransUnion does not provide any records & claims the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

I paid off the credit card back in XX/XX/2022, the payment was rejected, but when they told me, I paid the balance in full plus all leftover interest charges on XXXX, and then they did not update the payments made again in their own system, and didn't apply those payments to the XX/XX/2022 statement, and they did in fact receive payment, because it is even listed on another area of their site, but even stranger, is I can't find any record of the payment, and I checked my checking, business checking, XXXX card, both my XXXX XXXX credit card accounts, and I can't find it, but I know I paid it. This is exremely concerning, and extremely fraudulent. I talked to customer service and made sure that that would be my final payment, for sure, and it was confirmed that it would be, and they are still sending me emails!!! I just received a new bill from them by email XX/XX/XXXX! I've contacted Verizon about this multiple times.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
This is concerning sloppy and illegal practices with my mortgage escrow account. In the past year, except for one month, I've kept my mortgage pre-paid by 4-8 weeks. For the last two cycles it's been six weeks ahead. 

When I logged on to make the monthly payment last week ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I was shocked to see a big increase in the escrow amount. There was no explanation for this. When I clicked " see escrow analysis, '' it didn't have one listed. Past escrow analyses are not posted there, either. Because I wanted to be sure to get my payment done, I went ahead and paid it and called WF. I was told that this was the new amount because there was a shortage of {$230.00} Well yes, my XXXX insurance is that much higher, however the XXXX premium is already paid in full and at the time of that conversation, there was over {$700.00} in the escrow account. As of that evening, there is more than {$900.00} and the only upcoming bill before fall XXXX is the XXXX insurance charge of $ XXXX. By then I will have made at least two more escrow payments, bringing the amount to double what is needed for that tax bill. 

The next day, XX/XX/XXXX, the escrow analysis did show up in my online account, but it gave me a choice to 1 ) pay the {$230.00} up front plus $ XXXX more than I was paying last year, or 2 ) pay $ XXXX. to pay it out over time. Given a choice, I would've taken 1 ). But I had no choice as the {$250.00} was automatically added to the escrow fee on my account when I logged on, before the latest escrow analysis was even published. 

This is a violation of RSPA X, which specifies that lenders will provide the escrow analysis by postal mail to consumers. I was given no choice but to make the higher payment before it was even published. 

It is also a failure to meet the RSPA X requirement to do an aggregate analysis of my mortgage. There were a couple weeks during which there was a negative balance, due to the early-bird collection of premium by my previous insurer and immediate collection of premium by the new one. When I received the refund check from my canceled policy, it was deposited into the account electronically on the same day. So there is no lack of diligence to keep current on my part. 

I have attached the escrow analysis and screenshots ( with date visible ) showing the period of time payments were made. To date I've not received the mailed analysis. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
