Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — Delays in the application process
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: WV

Complaint narrative:
My ex-husband and I got divorced in XXXX. We decided to keep our property, which we pay for through freedom mortgage, sell it and split the profit. Well the house never sold, and he has decided to now move into the property and make it his own home and take over the title and mortgage. So we both agreed amicably to start an assumption agreement through freedom mortgage. When we called freedom mortgage to start the process, they told us it would be an easy process being this was initially a VA loan and he is the veteran and primary borrower. They stated all the documentation we needed to begin an assumption agreement was an Assumption Agreement Request form signed by both of us, XXXX page of the insurance policy with my name removed, divorce decree and a quit clam deed with my rights removed from the title. We started the process at the end of XX/XX/XXXX. We have submitted every form that freedom mortgage has asked for in order to process the assumption agreement. Being that freedom mortgage said we had to have a quit claim deed made, I no longer own that property anymore, but yet Im stuck on the mortgage. Every time I call freedom mortgage and speak to their assumption team, they say that all of my documentation has been reviewed and submitted and that a loan processor would be reaching out. Then we hear nothing back. I call every week to check the status of it. Again told the exact same thing, in fact they told us that they closed our case twice at one point because they didnt have all the documentation they needed, even though we submitted everything they asked for. So they supposedly reopened it on XX/XX/XXXX. Well I talked to them on the phone XX/XX/XXXX ( expecting somebody would have reached out by now ) and they said that they closed it and just reopened it XX/XX/XXXX ( even though none of our documentation was missing ). So it has been this ongoing cycle every single week since the end of XX/XX/XXXX. The loan processor will not reach out to us in order to get the final assumption agreement form for me and my ex-husband to sign and notarize. So I am stuck on his mortgage of a property I don't even own because freedom mortgage told me I had to submit a quit claim deed. I called freedom mortgage every single week and they tell me the exact same thing that they are sending over my paperwork and someone will reach out. And when I asked to speak to a supervisor or speak to the loan processor myself, they tell me theyre not taking phone calls. Our loan number is XXXX. The loan is under XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX.

Instead of honoring the statute, the landlord escalated the matter to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) for collections, claiming I owe {$3900.00}. In addition to sending the account to collections, management made multiple false statements, including : Claiming my pets were unauthorized, despite a signed Animal Addendum authorizing them. 

Claiming multiple entry attempts that never occurred, which I disproved with my security camera footage. 

Claiming I did not provide proper statutory notice, despite my certified 7-Day Cure Notice dated XX/XX/year>. 

Management refused further correspondence and directed all communication to XXXX. 

This escalation is retaliatory under Florida Statute XXXX, and the alleged debt is disputed in full. 

I have served a formal dispute letter to XXXX under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I am requesting that the CFPB investigate and require : Full validation of the debt ( lease, addendums, accounting ). 

Immediate cessation of collection activity until validation is provided.

Complaint narrative:
The consumer reporting agency has willfully violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports, by furnishing or reporting information on my credit file without any permissible purpose, written consent, or legal authorization. At no time did I grant authorization for this agency to obtain, use, or disclose my consumer information, and the continued reporting of such entries constitutes an unlawful act that compromises both the accuracy and integrity of my credit file. This misreporting has directly harmed my creditworthiness, caused emotional and financial distress, and placed undue barriers on my ability to secure credit, housing, and employment opportunities.
