After 3 years of working with the lender to obtain a loan modification to save my home from foreclosure, on XX/XX/2023, the lender offered me an approved Loan Modification XXXX with a XXXXmonth Trial payment Period Plan. The terms of the trial payment plan were that If I accept the offer, and make payment for XXXX months ( XXXX, XXXX, & XXXX ), the lender will send me the final loan modification document to sign, and the new loan payment term will be final.

I wrote the lender on XX/XX/XXXX requesting the Loan Modification document so I could sign - The lender never responded to my written request. I have made multiply calls to the lender, it is now XX/XX/XXXX, and I have yet to receive any loan modification document from the lender to sign, nor has the lender sent me any written communication to inform me of the status of the loan form or when I will be receiving the forms to sign.

Company: GUARANTEED RATE INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  VP of Mortgage Lending Guaranteed Rate contacted me with an unsolicited email wanting to engage to offering to adjust my mortgage rate that was just taken out with Guaranteed Rate and after mortgage close was sold to XXXX XXXX I asked him to call me to provide information as to how a reduction in my rate was possible through Guaranteed Rate when my Mortgage was no longer with Guaranteed Rate. I was asked to " authorize him to review my Guaranteed Rate Account '' before he could provide further information. Prior to providing information he did a " Hard pull on my credit report '' WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION. 

The tactics of Guaranteed Rate were very suspect from the initial contact, the tact that was taken was very to be very " Slick '' in convincing a consumer that they were offering a no cost solution to adjust mortgage rate since mortgage was less than 3 months old which I already knew was a complete lie and he was attempting to have my mortgage refinanced as a new mortgage with Guaranteed Rate which I had no interest in doing. 

At no time did I engage to start a process in a refinance of my existing mortgage and yet he did a hard pull on my credit without my approval.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I have just been notified that I am being sued by this s collection agency, when I have spoken with them over the phone twice. I spoke to two different men, both of whom I notified of the identity theft that I filed with the FTC and that I had cancelled all of my credit cards upon learning of the theft and was disputing the debts. I am a XXXXXXXX XXXX who is in the process of a lengthy divorce and living solely on the VA payment I receive each month. This has prevented me and my children from moving and has prevented me from being able to accomplish much else in the way of financial services and legal services in regards to the debts. At the time of the identity theft I was current and had a positive balance on all of the credit cards in my name, but when my identity was stolen, they pushed transactions through over the limit, raised and overmaxxed my limits, and then a few of the credit card companies did not cancel the cards when notified of the theft and asked to do so. They just kept them open, furthering the damage to my credit. I would XXXX  like to note that these debts are double reported on my credit, furthering harm to me and my children. I receive less than {$2000.00} a month, no other financial support and am now being sued for a debt that on two occasions I notified this collection agency weren't mine. I believe that they even bought out the debts for other credit cards from the same identity theft and fully intend to file suit for those as well.
