Complaint:
My student loans had gone in default and were transferred to a collection company- back in 2018 I setup a payment plan to bring those out of default but the old information still shows on my credit report. In addition that company helped me consolidate my debt owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX into my loans that are out of default and back to being processed through XXXX XXXX and are currently deferred due to Covid 19. The XXXX old account information still shows on my report as well. This year I submitted a new fasfa and tried to reenroll at XXXX. I was told I still owed that account balance that I had thought was consolidated so I paid it to the school in order to enroll. After I submitted a complaint with you I noticed my consolidated loan balance went to XXXX rather than XXXX refunding the money to me during a current hardship as a XXXX XXXX. I decided not to reenroll at the college due to a multitude of troubles that I endured while registering and with the financial aid awards being different than what I had been told in correspondence from fasfa. All the old holders of my loans before transferred or while in default are still showing also.

Complaint:
Enclosed is a copy of my messages with my credit union : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding XXXX, TRS Recovery Services, and Telecheck Services ( all XXXX affiliates ) : RE : RE : Charge Dispute for XXXX.XXXX/TRS Services Address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   Date XX/XX/2019 XXXX PDT Subject RE : RE : Charge Dispute for XXXX You can process a Revocation of Authorization. With the revocation of authorization you are making a legal statement saying you did not authorize the charge, date or amount. Processing the form will request your funds from Friday back. It will also prevent charges from XXXX coming through in the future. It needs to be in place 72 hours prior to the next charge for it to prevent future charges. The merchant does have six months to dispute the revocation. Provisional credit is usually given through this period. Please let me know if you would like for me to proceed. I will be out of the office Wednesday through Friday. 

Thank you, Member Service XXXX -- -- - [ From : XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX ) ; XX/XX/2019 XXXX ] -- -- - Yes I did but they outsource to a company that is called Telecheck and XXXX Services who is doing the random charging. They said to submit a claim but is it possible to decline the payment they took on Friday? I did not authorize them to keep charging my account. They said it could take up to 30 days if they even give it back. I think this is fraudulent activity especially since they have overcharged me by about XXXX dollars. 

-- -- [ From : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ; ] -- -- - Good morning XXXX. Have you contacted XXXX regarding the purchase price issue? That would be your first course of action. XXXX dispute phone number is XXXX. They will work with customers regarding charges or service. They should be able to help provide a credit to your account. It looks like you have provided your account number and the charges are being processed as an ACH debit, with your account number, to your account and not with your debit card. Please let me know if you have further questions. 

Member Service, XXXX -- -- - [ From : XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX ) ; XX/XX/2019 XXXX ] -- -- - I was recently charged by XXXX Services today for a dispute that was resolved and I am wondering if you may please reverse or deny a pending charge that was charged today ( XXXX ) in the amount of $ XXXX $ XXXX {$65.00}. In total, they have charged me {$200.00} for an order that should have only been {$60.00} ( with 2 return check fees of {$25.00} ). I have also been in contact with the agency. I don't think they should be able to continually charge my debit card whenever they want. 

Thank you for your help.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
I understand that I had promised to pay NELNET {$10000.00}. I was paying on this for XXXX years and XXXX months faithfully. I was attending XXXX XXXX through Corinthian Colleges who was doing money laundering schemes and tricked many of us students into paying such high fees, which this link shows hard evidence : ( https : XXXX ) however, also, I read over the contract during a complete forensic evidence procedure, and I found that the contract has a few defects, and they may be in violation of ( U.S. Title 18 1001 ), where it states whoever in any matter within the jurisdiction of the XXXX, legislative, judicial branch of Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact ; makes any material false, fictional, or fraudulent statement or entry shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than XXXX  years. I want to get this taken care of. It is not my intention to not pay anything. I want to get this settled, so If they can kindly get back to me within XXXX days with a fixed copy of the contract and a copy of their account ledger, where I can see clearly the GAP according to The Fair Debt Collection Practice Act. That would be great! I also noticed that I'm the only XXXX who signed the supposed contract ; there is no other signature, which is also a violation of UCC Section 3-401- Where there is no signature the contract is void. So, again, i'll accept their presentment if they can get me what I asked for above within XXXX days. If not, they agree the terms of the supposed contract is void. But If they get back to me with the information i asked, they agree I'll settle the matter with a promissory note. 
Without Recourse, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
A debt from the department of the treasury was placed on my credit reports when I noticed it I sent in a dispute to the debt. I have attached the 1st debt letter I sent and never got a response back. I have challenged this debt numerous times and haven't received a response. Not only have I challenged the debt but in XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX of 2021 they kept calling me at odd hours. They also kept sending me mail with symbols that I didn't recognize from a third party collector by email and mail. I have email and hardcopy traffic of this correspondence if needed. It says that the highest amount of the debt was around XXXX but they are trying to charge me around XXXX for the debt with ridiculous extra charges. I feel like my consumer rights are being taken advantage of.

Complaint:
Several of the credit monitoring services I use have been reporting to me in the last few days that I have a new or recently filed bankruptcy. I filed for chapter XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and it was discharged in XX/XX/XXXX. Its not NEW.

Due to these erroneous errors, my score has dropped significantly and I was denied credit. A XXXX XXXX card I applied for after my Chapter XXXX was discharged in XXXX is being reported as closed in XXXX. How is that? The account is still open and current as of XX/XX/XXXX. Lastly, the collections account for XXXX XXXX was not been thoroughly investigated. Its also a fraudulent account that the bureaus are refusing to remove.

Complaint:
I'm seriously at a loss for words when it comes to the way citizens bank handles loyal customers. I've noticed a few months ago when my accounts have been hacked due to issues with my phone and digital wallets, that anytime l 've had to call to file a dispute or call to see what was going on with prior disputes-the way I've been treated and spoken to by customer service is not acceptable! In the past 2 weeks or so, I've filed 4 fraud disputes with citizens bank. 
There were 4 due to the fact that I didn't wait for each and every charge the was pending to post before filing just one dispute. 2 of them were filed on XX/XX/XXXX both totaling {$5000.00} which bacially drained my account in itself. One was filed on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$850.00} and another was on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$1200.00}. I was told by numerous customer service reps that a provisional credit would be applied to my account-due to the transactions being fraudulent and also draining my entire account. I waited several days which has now turned into weeks for the money to be put back into my account, which it hasn't. I received a letter in the mail a few days ago stating that due to me filing fraud disputes, citizens bank was gon na close my account? I'm not even sure how this is even ethical considering how citizens bank stands behind its Zero Liability Protection Policy. When I found out that the claims dept of citizens bank was denying my fraud claims, I was told by XXXX, who works for the office of the chairman and who answers XXXX complaints, that the reasoning they gave to deny my claims was because I gave a company a selfie pic and copy of my ID a long time ago to verify it was me-a company that had absolutely nothing to do with the charges I had filed these claims for! PLEASE explain to me how this makes any sense? So basically your closing an acct that's been open for years a denying claims and not refunding my $ for absolutely no reason?

Complaint:
This is the SECOND time that I am sending this letter. I sent the original letter on XX/XX/2022. ( see below ) Since the original letter, I have been a victim of IDENTITY FRAUD from this company. An account was made in my name with this company 's name attached to it. It was an additional account ( a mortgage account ) that I had no idea of. I was told because of this error, that as a courtesy, any accounts from this company shall be removed from my credit report. Either way it is still reporting. So you can either remove it without further incident or you can adhere to the bottom portion of this letter. I will also be filing this letter as a complaint to the CFPB and if I do not have this company removed from my credit report within the next 14 days, I will be forced to file a complaint with the FTC. 
Original letter that I have yet to get a response to that was sent last year : I am sending this certified letter because I have noticed that there is a charge off or a debt in collections on my credit report from your company ( Acct numbers XXXX ), however, I have never received a Schedule C form for that specific charge off. By law that can be considered taxable income per IRS literature and I can be penalized for not reporting it. I am requesting this form so that I can have all legal documentation in my records if I need to provide it to the IRS.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022 I dispute this debt to Portfolio Recovery and also ask for debt validation. I also request to provide verification of the amount they said, I owe. They did not provide me with the original credit application as I ask. 
Portfolio Recovery respond back that they had completed our investigation of your dispute concerning this account.

Portfolio Recovery never did a proper investigation, In accordance with Fair Credit Reporting everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report, how is that possible if the date open is inaccurate, last report date, date last active?

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern, Please be advised that I have received your computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third-party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

You were advised by me on XX/XX/2022 by certified mail that I questioned the accuracy of a few items on my credit reports. That request was written by me and mailed by me- not a third-party agency. It appears obvious to me that you are abusing your power under the FCRA to escape a complete investigation. 

Here again is the incorrect information being reported : 1. Under 15 USC 1666B this is a billing error always paid as agreed on time this is an error this account in violation. 
XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Please remove it to my credit report. 

Additionally, there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is an irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. 

I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to ensure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. 

I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this letter dated XX/XX/2022 is formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days not 30 more. 

I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.
