Please explain to us in detail what happened Sent from Mail for Windows From : XXXX Sent : Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX To : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ; XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
Cc : XXXX XXXX ; XXXX Subject : Breach of Trust By Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX Loan # XXXX Good afternoon, XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX This is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX. WE entered into, and was approved on a XXXX Assistance XXXX with XXXX to assist us with our loan. Before we agreed to the terms of this assistance our first point of contact XXXX XXXX assured us that our credit would not be affected nor would we be reported as late to any creditors or credit companies, just the opposite occurred with XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX whom all three somehow has reported both of us { 3 Months Late } while we were both under the protection of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This plan was to end sometime in XX/XX/XXXX. We were then eligible for a new Payment Program for XXXX Assistance in XX/XX/XXXX but we sold our home on XX/XX/XXXX, and paid our loan off including all the state taxes prior to the ending of our initial first Financial Assistance that was approved, and agreed upon by all parties including both myself XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and my wife XXXX XXXX XXXX. This agreement was somehow breeched because ALL XXXX XXXX Credit Bureaus to include XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX who all XXXX have reported Derogatory Financial Disparaging Credit Decisions on both of our credit reports which is affecting our credit scores on both parties. 

The question : How did XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX lean of this? Who or what informed them that we were possible or late on our Mortgage which under the terms of our XXXX XXXX, we would not be considered as LATE, period. 

Since XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX can only REPORT what is given or updated to them, the question is : DO they have a Biorythem or XXXX Intelligence that REPORTS regardless of a Creditor REPORT directly to them on current Loan Payment information? 
If this is the case, then this would be a Violation of LAW, and our RIGHTS of Privacy, and our Financial Information Ive instructed our family Attorney to review this matter, with the opportunity for XXXX Mortgage XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to review this matter internally, and find out what broke Down, and how the XXXX Major Creditors could violate our personal, and financial rights. 

At this point, we dont hold Shellpoint Mortgage XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX fault but after the review has been completed, the area of responsibility XXXX need to be revisited regarding XXXX Mortgage Servicing to check it in fact you were indeed responsible for the breach of Negative XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ALL XXXX Major Creditors XXXX, XXXX XXXX and Equifax XXXX did place a call to XXXX Mortgage XXXX XXXX to the customer service center, and spoke with their Representative XXXX XXXX XXXX fully explained this matter, and issue directly to him, and made sure I asked if the call was being recording because it XXXX become part of a Legal Matter. I also explained to XXXX XXXX how I felt this matter XXXX play out in a court room with a Jury, and a XXXX. 

What we want : Want the agreement we entered to be ENFORCED with ALL of its said PROTECTIONS of our credit, and its reporting by not reflecting that we would be shown has LATE on our Mortgage while we were within the Legal Limits. And XXXX of that XXXX XXXX XXXX. No matter what happens, were not releasing any of the XXXX creditors listed above from Legal harm done to us, and will look to seek a remedy in a court of law based on our XXXX assessment of this possible case. In the meantime, we want everything to be corrected at once asap. We understand that XXXX XXXX between the XXXX, and XXXX of each month, and this report is what XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX should, and must base their credit reporting on, what happened? 

We look forward to all of your answers. Should you need any additional information to resolve this issue, please respond by this email or phone call. We will be sending the credit reports containing the status of { 3 Months Late } by the XXXX Major Creditors listed above.
