Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I took out a Private school loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( aka 'XXXX  XXXX ' ) back in XXXX. At that time I was at the University of Texas at XXXX ( XXXX ). Please note this school has changed its name to the University of Texas XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) in XXXX. In XXXX I transferred to the University of Texas-XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) where I am presently enrolled. A few years ago, I noticed that XXXX XXXX XXXX ( AES ) the loan servicer erroneously reported to all the credit bureaus that this student had begun making repayments on this private loan and then stopped. This resulted in XXXX issuing another false report to all the credit bureaus that this student had DEFAULTED on his loan payments and as a result, he has missed several payment deadlines. This is the crux of the problem because when you review the Credit Report ( CR ) of this student one will see that all of his student loans, both private and federal have been placed in deferment until graduation on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Interestingly, XXXX is the only servicer who has engaged in this type of unprofessional conduct. When I brought this to their attention a few months ago, they sent me a deferment form to fill out and return with a copy of school 'Enrollment Verification ' ( EV ) which was done about a month ago. Then two days after receiving the completed deferment form and EV -- -they issued a letter of denial stating among other things that I no longer qualify for deferment even though I have never left school and still in school. This 'Dirty ' tactic of reporting me as being in default is negatively affecting my CR and this reporting of false information needs to STOP.

Complaint:
- XX/XX/XXXX : I rented a car from XXXX in XXXX who was almost 2 hours late in supplying me a car at the pickup time specified on the original reservation. The result was a wasted business trip where I missed 2 of 3 of my meetings and was unable to join two conference calls. I was charged {$59.00} for the botched rental and tried to work with the merchant but they were uncooperative. 
- XX/XX/XXXX : I logged a dispute on my credit card. XXXX never responded and hence I won the dispute. 
- XX/XX/XXXX : I had a car reservation at XXXX ( who owns XXXX ) in XXXX XXXX and denied exit from the lot due to the {$59.00} they believed I still owed. At their customer service desk I was advised to contact their XXXX department who in turn transferred me to Transworld Systems Inc ( TSI ) who informed me I could not rent the car until I paid {$59.00}. I advised them this was an invalid debt and nor did I ever receive a 30-day validation letter mandated by the FDCPA. They told me they did not have to send one and without a payment I would not be able to rent from XXXX. Given I was stuck in their lot and behind almost 2 hours in getting to my destination, I charged the {$59.00} on my credit card and advised them I would dispute the payment on the invalid debt and report the FDCPA violations to the CFPB. 
XX/XX/XXXX : The {$59.00} charge was placed into dispute and TSI was contacted by my credit card bank on XX/XX/XXXX. In the meantime TSI continuously calls me without leaving a message which would be a UDAAP violation XX/XX/XXXX : As of this date TSI has not responded to the dispute and must do so by XX/XX/XXXX in accordance with Visa chargeback rules.

Complaint:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I am writing this request on my own behalf. I have enjoyed my experience with this company and am writing to simply request a " goodwill '' adjustment to your reporting to the three credit agencies. I have a series of late payments due to experiencing a medical hardship. I say this not to justify my delinquencies but to indicate that, that time was not a reflection of my credit worthiness. Since that time I have been an exceptional customer paying on time every month and have now completed all payments. I would like, if possible, for these payments to be reconsidered and removed from my credit report. 

These are the accounts I am referencing : DEPT OF EDUCATION/XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX

Complaint:
Chase Sapphire credit card provides car rental insurance benefit for damages which is handled by XXXX XXXX. I had a XXXX euro damage charged when my rental car was damaged on XX/XX/2022. Despite following the required procedures and submitting all the necessary documentation, my claim, relating to damages sustained to a rental car has been in pending state since XX/XX/2022 without any resolution. 

Initially, my claim was outright denied, only to be re-instated after I lodged a complaint. However, even after reinstatement, the claim has been subjected to extensive delays and numerous requests for additional documentation. The most recent communication from XXXX demanded proof of the car 's return, specifically requesting " the final bill. '' Unfortunately, due to the damaged state of the vehicle, it was towed away, and I was unable to obtain the final sign-off documentation. 

In lieu of the final bill, I provided a comprehensive letter from the rental company, which clearly outlined the rental agreement bearing my name, detailed the extent of the damage, and confirmed that the necessary repairs had been carried out. Additionally, I furnished proof that the rental charges were charged to my Chase credit card, substantiating my eligibility for the insurance claim. 

Regrettably, my experiences thus far lead me to believe that XXXX and Chase are deliberately prolonging the resolution process by incessantly demanding further documentation, perhaps in the hope that I will eventually abandon my claim. This sentiment is further reinforced by the numerous similar complaints documented against XXXX, which can be found at the following sources : The Points Guy : XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX Considering the evidence I have provided and the considerable delay in reaching a resolution, I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter. I insist on a thorough review of my claim and a prompt resolution in accordance with the terms and conditions outlined by Chase Sapphire 's car rental insurance benefit.

Complaint:
My name is XXXX XXXX a federally protected consumer, and I am making this complaint against XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. for committing identity theft. I have never given sunrise credit service, any permission to use any of my identifying information to commit mail fraud by contacting me about an alleged debt they claim I owe. I am aware that in accordance with Article 9, the assignment of a defaulted note is illegal. Both the assignee and the assigned are both liable for violations under 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 12 ).

As of XX/XX/2022 I have not received any documentary evidence, such as a trilateral contract, giving XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX any right to collect on this alleged debt. 
I have never received any documentation requesting validation from XXXX XXXX XXXX before they committed multiple violations under the FCRA and the FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report, including but not limited to 15 U.S. Code 1692d ( 4 ) which the FTC defines as debt parking. If XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX can not provide me with proof such as a tracking number that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, the consumer, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report, this has been a fraudulently furnished account with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. 

I am legally refusing to pay this debt pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1692c ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activity, any communication and collection activity, of this and any alleged debts until XXXX XXXX XXXX, can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them.

Upon the receipt of the documents herein and of this notice, you are hereby notified Pursuant UCC 1-202f. Your prompt attention and response are both requested and required.
