Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I was the victim of identity theft, and as a result, I promptly reported the fraudulent account to all relevant authorities and took immediate steps to rectify the situation. I have successfully communicated with XXXX and XXXX to dispute and have the fraudulent account removed from their reports, following the required procedures. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX PLEASE DELETE!!! XXXX  and XXXX have already removed this account from their records. 
I am perplexed as to why Equifax has not complied with the law and continues to report this fraudulent account despite the deletion by other bureaus. 
It is clear from their actions that they have determined the fraudulent nature of the account and have taken the appropriate steps to delete it from my credit report. I urge Equifax to follow suit and promptly remove the fraudulent account from my credit report. I believe that the continued reporting of this account is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and I expect Equifax to rectify this situation promptly.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage was transferred to a company called Regions Mortgage. The First payment to Regions was to be made in XXXX. I setup auto-pay through my bank ( XXXX XXXX  XXXX who i have used for several decades ). 
In late XXXX i received a notice from Regions Mortgage saying I had made no payments what-so-ever. 
XXXX XXXX  gave me the transaction ID 's for all the payments. They show the payments were deducted from my account. 
I contacted Regions Mortgage. They had no record of any payment. They took all payments during that call using my debit card. 
My XXXX XXXX account has shown 2x the number of payments I was supposed to make. 
Regions Mortgage credits only the number of payments they took during that call. 
I have sent them all the transactions via email. That was two weeks ago. They have not responded to my emails. They wont call. The last call was disconnected after being on hold for a very long time. 
I have dont nothing wrong, and yet my credit report reflects negative. Also, I was charged a late fee. None of this was my fault. I have over-paid my mortgage by a considerable amount and I very much not happy with Regions Mortgage ( a company I did not chose to do business with! ). 
I really need help fixing this. I don't have enough money to make 2x my normal mortgage payments right now. Times are tough, but when things get better I most certainly will continue making extra payments as I always have. 
Attached are screenshots from XXXXXXXX XXXX showing payments made to XXXX ( previous mortgager ) and Regions ( new mortgager ). Also, I've included a recent report by Regions. 


Thanks for any help you can provide XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TN
