Reviewed most recent credit report from ( insert credit bureau name ) and I noticed inquires that did not belong to me. After reaching out to the creditors I was advised they did not have a record on file of me applying for credit with their company. The creditor advised me to contact the CRA to have the inquiry disputed and investigated as they do not have the ability to do so. 

After contacting the CRA I was meant with push-back even though I expressed the inquiries in questions did not belong to me and the creditors agreed the inquiries are not attached to any file or application they have with my personal accurate information.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Lien release
Company: NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP INC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
We had an FHA loan through Flagstar Bank. During XXXX we had taken a deferment. Instead of adding the amount to the current mortgage, they filed a second lien against the property. We paid the loan off on XX/XX/XXXX and assumed that Flagstar would release the liens as is required. They never did but we did not find out until XXXX, XXXX that the lien for the deferment was still there. Since that time we have been attempting to the get the lien released. We have been in contact with Flagstar at least 7 times to get this resolved. We had also filed a complaint with the CFPB previously but because I used my sister 's email and not mine they wouldn't respond and the CFPB closed the complaint. It has been 8 months and the lien is still on the property. Attached is the previous CFPB complaint which contains the loan number and dates of complaint. It also includes the reference numbers we were given by Flagstar to " more eaiser track our complaint ''. Not only have they not removed the lien but we have never been contacted by them with updates as to what they are doing to resolve this issue.
