Pursuant to 15 USC 1962 ( e ) ( 3 ) a debt collector may not use false representation or implication that any individual is an attorney or that any communication is from an attorney. 
In response to the letter, I sent them notification that they have violated my consumer rights, I dispute this alleged debt, and I requested an audit trail of this transaction. 

On XX/XX/XXXX2022, I received a response letter from Mandarich Law Group , LLP that stated they will continue collection efforts despite my notice of dispute and in turn, sent me several duplicate copies of loan terms, several sheets of blank paper, copies of documents that are completely undecipherable, and an incomplete bill of sale to prove they even own this debt. They did not provide me the AUDIT TRAIL I requested and in violation of 15 USC 1692g ) ( a ) ( 4 ), the statement of account provided does not tell where these charges and credits were originated or when.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have been disputing this issue for over a year now with XXXX. Initially it started with an inaccuracy of a missed or late payment of 30 plus days in XXXX of 2020. So I began by contacting the dealership where I bought the car numerous times over a 9 month period, by phone and in person. I spoke with the financing departments manager. Then the sales manager, and the store manager. Each time I was reassured they would contact the corporate office and speak with one of two people " XXXX or XXXX '' whom deal with credit reporting only to have no resolution of the issue. Finally I asked for the the contact information to the credit reporting department. About a week after speaking with them my credit report finally reflected accurately. Then a week later it was back on my report as a late/missed payment of 30 plus days in XXXX now. Next I spoke with a woman named XXXX from corporate whom spoke with someone and had XXXX 's inaccuracy removed only to have it return again a week later as a late/missed payment of 30 plus days in XXXX. Where it has remained through 5-6 separate disputes to my experian credit report over the past 3 month 's, 5 of which were online. I provided proof of my payment history to Experian which I was given by XXXX which clearly shows, at no time during any of the months in question was I 30 plus days late. My latest dispute I called Experian and filed a dispute over the phone with a customer service representative in order to clearly explain myself. Each time I disputed this issue either online or the last over the phone. I have had the same outcome. " The creditor in question states that the information they provided to the credit agency was accurate and would not be changed at this time. ''

Product: Mortgage — Other type of mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
We chose to utilize the Pandemic Forbearance option because representatives from Mr. Cooper/Nationstar told us, verbally, that deferment would be available as a completion resolution. Later our mortgage servicer, Mr. Cooper would not provide deferment. We wrote them a formal letter ( XX/XX/2021 ) requesting that the provision for deferment be honored and requesting a more responsible brand of communication than the contradictory and confusing directions provided. 

The written response that we received in reply did not answer our questions or help the situation. 

Mr. Cooper then instructed us to apply for a modification. We are still hoping to receive the deferment as promised. Our XXXX XXXXXXXX loan is working well for us and we prefer not to adjust away from it. We could not get an accountable answer from Mr. Cooper about why we were told that the forbearance could complete in a deferment but then that was not provided. 

We then were notified that the modification also was not offered by the lender. We sent in a second letter ( XX/XX/2021 ) seeking to understand why the modification had been offered and then we were notified that it was not available. 

We have been respectful throughout this communication process and have diligently paid our loan for more than 15 years. 

We additionally have the concern that when Nationstar adopted the new name, Mr. Cooper, they intentionally created an expectation of neighborly and more personal service. The corporate confusion and runarounds we have experienced created the sense that the adopted image is inauthentic. 

They are now demanding about {$26000.00} and threatening foreclosure. They continue to advise that federal monies are available and for us to apply in order to pay off this sum. But we feel this is unethical and that the company is attempting to receive the government money rather than provide the deferment that we were told would be available and that they will not not provide. Additionally we believe that the refusal to provide at least the modification may be a breach of law.
