Complaint:
Okay, yesterday I was shocked to find out my refund has been offset again. After all day on the phone the only answer I got was okay we will put a dispute on your offset. This was told to me by the collection agency that works with Dept. of education. This was XXXX XXXX. I filed these loans over twenty years ago. Over the years I worked for 10 years I had my wages garnished weekly for a total that could buy me a college! Also year after year from approximately XXXX till now EVERY refund has been taken as well. This is where it gets very interesting I asked and pleaded for my payment details. I believe there is either a HUGE error or something.. Now when I was a kid I really didnt take track BUT I do know I have transcripts and my family didnt have much so I also received grants and aid. There is no way this can still be unpaid. I didnt even graduate!!! So I learned the hard way. I want to know what do I have to do because NOBODY is giving me an answer. I am in financial ruin and was relying on that refund. Please help!!

Complaint:
It all started when I was receiving mail to my address with another young lady name on the mail from XXXX Bank. I was the first one to live in the home ( it was brand new when I moved in ) Also I worked for the XXXX XXXX  and I knew of all residence that lived in the homes. No one by the name of the mail I was receiving lived there. Then I noticed on all three of my credit files that I had 3 XXXX Bank accounts listed on there. The only XXXX Bank on my credit files that is mine was my XXXX card, but XXXX XXXX Bank is now over the XXXX credit cards. 

I them contacted the creditor XXXX Bank and they immediately closed the accounts and sent me letters stating that they asked all 3 bureaus to remove the accounts from my files and they have not! The bureaus are aware of my credit files being mixed, identity theft and fraud on my files for some time now. 

XXXX has my credit usage at almost 500 % and that is due to them keeping those fraudulent accounts on my credit files Equifax and XXXX still have the accounts on my files as well but they have not increased my credit usage like XXXX did. 

All bureaus are also listing that I have late payments on my credit files due to those fraudulent accounts. 
They have police reports on file for me as well for identity theft and fraud, I am trying to purchase a home and this is ruining my chances of that. This is my last try to have this fixed before my attorney and I file with the courts on all 3 bureaus! 

They need to remove all 3 accounts from my credit files and correct my credit usage immediately My scores dropped over XXXX points because of this taking me from good credit to bad, all 3 bureaus have these accounts as closed on my credit files in bad standing instead of removing them!

Every 4 months my account is eligible for 1 month of no-payment, every time I apply they gave me extra balance, besides, they lie to me on the phone : 10 days ago I called and applied for an extension, a person on the phone pronounced that extension has been granted and there is nothing due on XX/XX/2020 but balance was not moved anywhere, I believe they steal money from me and make sure my account has additional charges it is totally ridiculous! I just called them today on XX/XX/2020 and a person requested {$50.00} for an extension stating that it is a company policy I never paid {$50.00} before????? They are truly stealing money from people and I feel really bad for them and for their CEO XXXX XXXX. I'm asking you to please investigate their company because I go with what they said, they stated to me on a recorded line extension has been granted so I wan na see that, the fact that their associates barely speak English and don't know their job totally on XXXX XXXX!

Complaint:
I recently set up automatic payments to be deducted from my XXXX charge card. On XX/XX/20 XXXX processed my automatic payment. My bill was XXXX they took my automatic payment out but then for some reason reversed the payment. I had no knowledge that my payment had been reversed. This caused my account to fall into delinquency without my knowledge. I only knew about it a month later because XXXX XXXX alerted me about a late payment. I called XXXX got my account up to date. They gave me back the late fee and told me this would not effect my credit. However it was reported that it was over 30 days late so now I have a negative remark on my credit report. When you set up automatic payments you are trusting that all your payments will be made on time. This was an error on XXXX behalf and should not reflect my credit score in anyway. I have been a valued customer and had a charge card for 9 years with them but now I don't feel so valued as they are not helping me to fix this situation.

I has an account with XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and paid the account in full a few months later.

To avoid further impact to my credit report I paid the money. 

In XXXX of XXXX, I received a letter and a check from the FTC indicating that According to the FTC 's complaint, XXXX  engaged in numerous deceptive or unfair practices, including : falsely advertising that it would accept payments by credit or debit cards failing to properly and timely credit payments made by check providing deceptive payoff quotes to customers trying to collect more money than the quoted payoff amount and making unauthorized charges to customers ' bank accounts. 

When I reported a dispute to all 3 credit bureaus to have the missing payment information removed from my credit report based on the FTC information I received, but all 3 came back to indicate that XXXX indicated the information is correct, rather than take into consideration the FTC notice which I have file several complaints with multiple agencies about XXXX practices and the inaccurate information on my credit report. I want the information corrected by all 3 credit reporting agencies because the FTC has proven that XXXX XXXXs practices have impacted my credit ratings.
