Consumer Narrative
My credit score dipped XXXX points in XXXX. I now see remarks on all my files from XXXX just because I disputed and they filed in their favor. I will soon be buying a new home and my score is in the XXXX! I was in the XXXX 2 months ago. This is unacceptable. I have proof now that your forbearance plan shows NO DATA when I was paying mortgage in FULL after XX/XX/2020. I made a payment in XX/XX/2020, but since you set me up on the COVID plan. They forced the dates in XXXX. I also started paying right away and told XXXX that I no longer wanted the plan, but they did not stop this plan until XX/XX/2020 without my consent hence my unapplied payments I kept making and they having to manually enter them, but I paid my mortgage in FULL every single month I have had this loan. Like I stated before, the only months that were deferred were XXXX & XX/XX/2020. I just paid this loan off and I have paid back the {$1500.00} in FULL, but now having FORBEARANCE on my account is also going to hurt my credit. I have all my statements to prove this. So why are all credit reports showing NO DATA for all the months up to XX/XX/2020? Because XXXX did not report me correctly. This should show PAID as HUD paid those XXXX months for me and I want these remarks removed from my credit reports and especially my sister XXXX XXXX as she was not even living in the home anymore.
