Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargos letter dated XX/XX/XXXX by mail stated they would provide a response by XX/XX/XXXX to my complaint XXXX XXXX. They had addressed their letter to XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX NY XXXX, see attached. Wells Fargos letter dated XX/XX/XXXX as posted electronically on the CFPB website as an answer stated we noticed your name did not match the name on the account youre inquiring about and we dont have a legal name change document on file. As Wells Fargo knows in my previous correspondence via mail, I had stated XXXX XXXX formerly XXXX for Loan number # XXXX. 
See attached document displaying case details as per XXXX Supreme Court showing the case for the foreclosure was filed against XXXX XXXX and representation prose XXXX XXXX. I am resubmitting my former complaint for Wells Fargo to address. 
As I had previously written, I continue to review my mortgage and the eventual foreclosure. After Wells Fargo sent me back the check for the XX/XX/XXXX mortgage payment and refused to accept further payments, I began to search for an expert in the field of mortgage fraud, which turned out to be XXXX XXXX, owner of XXXX XXXX. XXXX is well known to Wells Fargo. Please see the attached credentials. Soon after receiving her Mortgage Serving Analysis Report, I could not review the report at that time due to personal issues. Since my situation has now stabilized, I have completed the review of the report. For the very first time in Wells Fargos recent letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, they indicated that my payment problem which resulted in foreclosure was between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. They wrote as follows The account was referred to foreclosure on XX/XX/XXXX, at which time you were due for XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX payments. Attached is a copy of the report showing the dates I supposedly had a payment problem. As you can see, there was no payment problem, as my payments were current and were the correct amount. Wells Fargo posted my payments. You can see the dates on the report as well. Accordingly, there should not have been a foreclosure. This appears to be a deliberate mistake. When I discovered there was a consent order created for the purpose of settling errors and mistakes, I knew that what they did to me and my family was more than just a simple mistake. Since there is a pending consent order, Wells Fargo needs to make me whole and has to compensate me for the severe damage to me and my children within the context of the consent order. Files attached : Report pages XXXX, Credentials See report page XXXX of XXXX payments XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I write to express my grave concerns regarding my recent Equifax credit report findings, in which I identified inaccurate and potentially harmful information. The erroneous data primarily pertains to multiple trade entries under " XXXX XXXX XXXX ''. While Equifax 's response ( attached herewith ) asserts that these entries belong to me, I categorically affirm that they do not. 

Erroneous Information : The XXXX XXXX XXXX accounts reported on my credit file are unfamiliar to me. As of the date of this letter, I have not held any accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX, nor have I authorized any individual or entity to open an account in my name. 

Request for Verification : Despite Equifax 's claim that these entries were " verified, '' I am yet to see tangible proof validating this assertion. Accordingly, I demand Equifax provide : a. Names of individuals contacted for verification b. Documentation or evidence that confirms these accounts belong to me XXXX A detailed list of the steps taken to ascertain the authenticity of these accounts If you see my exhibit in my attachment ; you will see that the one XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting twice! After EQUIFAX has stated that everything that have is ACCURATE! CLEARLY EQUIFAX LIED AND DID NOT DO ANY INVESTIGATION AND IS REPEATING THE CYCLE BY BREAKING THE SAME LAY KNOWINGLY!
