I never even got a response from Carrington and alvaria just the letter not even a sorry nothing they donโt give 2 shits about any of us I had Carrington for years they love love to give late charges I even called them had a dumb ass trying to tell me payments are on the first had no idea about 16 days I kept saying a on 17 day late heโs saying no the 1st so I said guess they hire anyone so now we know why identity was stolen calls hundreds of them every day scammer this is bullshit I hope they get what is coming to them or identify us priceless think they would at least gave a month free mortgage payment no 2 years of protection for identity is already sold you know I know
I also received a letter from ALVARIAbut I have been so sick I just now glands through it and scanned this article but I canโt comprehend it all my illness makes my brain foggy and my vision blurred now a migraine from trying to focus ugh I honestly have canโt have more stress than I already haveโฆ. I apologize I know itโs not about health issues or anything like that but I am just so fed up itโs not one thing itโs another and I just donโt know how much longer I can deal with all of this stuff.
I also received this letter and I recently found but after this breach that someone is fraudulently using my SSN to have employment fraud
We have been with Carrington for over 10 years and Iโm sure they have ripped us off as well.
Donโt tell me that we are safe because my identity was stolen from alvaria and someone opened a Unemployment claim in my wife name they need your SS numbers so tell me thes that seem safe to you I donโt think so
I received a letter and now it appears someone received a social security check from my SSA account.
I got the Alvaria letter, but nothing from Carrington Mortgage Services. I did not choose to do business with Carrington and do not wish to continue with this company. Consumers should not have their mortgages sold to companies without the customerโs input, to some companies they never heard of or did not seek out.
Please add me. I recently found out about this when I mostly check my credit report on a yearly basis. I saw an extra unfamiliar balance to my Carrington Mortgage account. The Carrington Reps could not give me an answer why the extra unfamiliar balance was on my credit report with Equifax via phone. Next thing I know within a week, I received a letter from ALVARIA that my information was breached which began on March 9, 2023 with Carrington Mortgage Service. It is sad that Carrington Mortgage Service never mentioned this to me before. SMH ๐
I have a carrier gton mortgage with my mom. We got only one letter about the breach
I have Carrington Mortgage for years
Oh No! Christ ol mightyโฆ..another
Data breach ! This is getting ridiculous all this technology and itโs just destroying people before one. I wondered why my name is plastered all over the information sites even child pedophile lists. Iโm having a hard time with Carrington Mortgage as it is, I was passed over to them from my original mortgage company that I closed with a year and a half ago and Carrington went and upped my mortgage close to $500 and I canโt make ends meet as much as I try and theyโre not even willing to work with me these companies are something else financial institutes suck โฆโฆadd me to the list for sure.!!!
