State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

I placed a complaint about my mortgage not being on my credit report and after filing a complaint with CFPB they finally put my mortgage on my credit report which shows that a payment was made in XXXX of this year but nothing else. They have put a not in the comments of the mortgage stating that I disputed the mortgage and that it meets FCRA requirements. I'm not sure why Mr. Cooper or XXXX XXXX as it appears on my credit report doesn't get updated with my payments and account balance. I called them on XX/XX/year> to try to get answers as to why nothing has really been reported to the credit agencies other than XXXX payment from XXXX and a stagnant account balance that shows not movement what so ever on it. The first call ( XXXX XXXX  ) the lady listened to the my question and then just hung up on me. I called back at XXXX and as soon as someone picked up the line they hung it up. I then called back at XXXX XXXX  and started speaking with another account representative and then they just hung up on me. I didn't have any say so who my mortgage was transferred to but I sure have to live with whomever made that decision. My credit score has suffered because of what Mr. Cooper ( XXXX XXXX ) is doing with my account. I submitted all of the requested court documents to them to prove that I reaffirmed my loan after a XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy and they are still trying to get out of reporting my mortgage payments. I don't feel that I am asking for much just a fair reporting of my credit history. I have attached screenshot of what is showing on my credit report concerning my mortgage. Although my mortgage has an age of XXXX yrs you will see in XXXX of the screenshots that I attached that my oldest account is XXXX years.
