Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Complaint narrative:
I was defrauded by XXXX XXXX, enticed to switch with a {$150.00} XXXX gift card they later refused to provide, the Internet service was not good so it only lasted 9 days. I was told by XXXX rep on phone that i should wait for the prorated bill. Bill never came and i actually forgot about this horrible experience and they put a collection on my credit report right before i started looking for an apartment. XXXX has refused to listen to the recording of there rep saying wait for prorated bill so Experian just takes their word for it and won't remove despite the most expensive 9 days of subpar Internet service being paid now. And I'm stuck and about to be homeless despite making north of XXXX and having never paid rent late once in my life

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Failure to Confirm Servicing Period and Mortgage Ownership for XXXX XXXX Trust Loan Dear CFPB, I, XXXX XXXX , executor and beneficiary of my late fathers estate, have repeatedly contacted XXXX XXXX to confirm critical information regarding my fathers mortgage loan, specifically related to the XXXX XXXX trust. Despite several attempts, including direct correspondence and a conversation with a customer service representative, I have received no definitive confirmation about whether Nationstar serviced this loan between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. This information is crucial for me to collect insurance repair funds of {$72000.00}, which, with interest, now amounts to {$200000.00}. 

The loan in question originated with XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ( Loan # XXXX ), and I believe it may have been transferred to the XXXX XXXX trust, serviced by Aurora Loan Services before Nationstar took over. I seek confirmation from Nationstar regarding the servicing of this loan during the time frame mentioned. 

I have attached a copy of my written requests, including the estate documentation for reference. Despite this, Nationstar has not provided the requested information. I need CFPBs assistance in ensuring a timely and appropriate response from Nationstar regarding their role as the master servicer for this loan. 

Desired Outcome : I would like Nationstar to confirm in writing whether they were the master servicer of the XXXX XXXX trust between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and clarify if XXXX XXXX XXXX or controlled my fathers mortgage loan. This confirmation is critical for me to proceed with the estate and claim the funds due. Thank You, XXXX XXXX for the Estate of XXXX XXXX XXXX
