Complaint narrative:
A HUD XXXX in the amount of {$25000.00} was brought to my attention during an attempted refinance. FHA case # XXXX. This was added to the loan as a forbearance program under the CARES act by Freedom Mortgage.

I initiated and made them aware of my difficulty prior to missing the payments after I was consoled to take advantage of the CARES act ( my work shut down for months without pay due to COVID ). The missed payments alone do not add up to the amount on the lien. My understanding at the time and as of current is no additional fees or interest were to be added to the missed payments as outlined in the XXXX act. I contacted Freedom Mortgage on XX/XX/year> at XXXX for further information. They pointed me to another servicing agent that pointed me to XXXX who XXXX pointed me back to Freedom Mortgage for the breakdown of how the amount was determined. My payment at the time was $ XXXX including PMI and escrow. Due to the lack of adherence and disclosure of the amounts and breakdowns, I am contacting CFPB to file a complaint and possible legal action to correct this. I lost money from backing out of the refinance, my daughter is at risk of being removed from her college as funds are no longer available for her to continue due to backing out of the refinance option.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( XXXX ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "
