Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: CA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't temporarily delay making payments

Complaint:
I was let go from work on XX/XX/22 which affected my ability to make any payments moving forward due to delays with XXXX XXXX and stress finding a new job. I called Sallie Mae twice in early XXXX before my next due date ( XX/XX/22 ) with my co-signer to try requesting forbearance as my co-signer who is my mother, lost her brother and had to cover funeral and medical costs for him. I explained this to Sallie Mae and asked to speak with a supervisor and they finally said you do qualify for a program. Upon being transferred, I was then informed that I would still need to make payments to bring the account up-to-date in order to enroll in the program. I explained again that I am not working and not receiving ANY income and they refused to help me. I would have to make a payment of {$460.00} in order to move forward. I was able to accrue this amount despite not working and co-signer also facing financial difficulties and they still said they could not fulfill my forbearance request because Im not in school or an intern and that I would still be required to make some form of payment regardless. This also happened last year and during the pandemic where they were unwilling to help with my request to temporarily stop payments due to financial circumstances.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
The original debt was charged off in XXXX, and is not even on any of my credit reports. How can a charged off debt over 10 years old be purchased? It was not purchased and this collection post is a complete fraud perpetuated against Experian, and an abuse of my rights under FCRA and FDCPA. The attached post on my credit bureau claims that a debt was purchased by a third party. At no time from my initial dispute was a debt validated. Under Federal Trade Commission guidelines, a debt must be proved, showing actual hard copy transfer. That does not mean a letter of transfer, but an actual transfer with signature backup. The debt purchase industry is the largest scam ongoing against the American consumer. Both the collection agency/debt purchaser are in violation of their subscriber agreement with every credit reporting agency. At no time was the debt validated, and the initial timeline from the original creditor has been cut off, and thus the debt is illegally being re-aged to benefit both the original creditor and the illegal debt collection process. Both the original trade line must be removed along with the invalid collection process. This problem will continue to exist since the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Supreme Court decision of XX/XX/XXXX, whereas the third party purchase voids the individuals rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Since there is no proof of true hard copy transfer and ownership, the collection is VOID and the collection process must cease and my file for both accounts must purge. These items must be deleted permanently and my files need to be purged. My information was obtained through a debt pooling process that should be terminated by the Federal Trade Commission. XXXX XXXX has committed a fraudulent act by even posting my antiquated information and there should be sanctions taken against this company.

Complaint:
There is a fraudulent credit card account with Amex that's reported as delinquent on my credit report. The account was opened in XX/XX/XXXX, while I was living in XXXX as an expat, and belongs to someone else that lives at an address in Texas that I do not recognize. I have tried to dispute it both with XXXX and Amex when I first noticed it on my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX, but it never got investigated or addressed, and now it's affecting my ability to qualify for an apartment lease. Both XXXX and Amex have denied accountability by directing my inquiry/ dispute to the other. Amex customer service pretended to have handled the issue when I talked to them on the phone, but still the fraudulent account remains on my record. XXXX denied my dispute on the ground that I have already tried in XXXX and I can not file the same dispute twice. 

I have always paid my bills on time and have never had any financial problems, but now I can not even get an apartment thanks to the credit rating system.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) was included in my BK Chapter XXXX underneath the collection agency they put the debt under. They were discharged and did not update the status of the account to correctly reflect its Bankruptcy status nor the balance at {$0.00}. They violated the laws in which I was protected under Bankruptcy both during and after. 

I disputed this information with TransUnion when my discharge was released on XX/XX/2019. On XX/XX/2019, they decided to respond to the dispute in a number of ways that violated my rights under the Bankruptcy discharge as follows. 

1 ) by pretending their company had a name change from XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX, n/a to place this debt BACK onto my report after it was successfully updated and removed, putting the debt protected under a open bankruptcy case BACK onto my report and, 2 ) proceeding to put in the comments the debt was transferred and charged off as a debt debt and a Delinquent Account. All of which was incorrect. 

As a result of their inaccurate reporting, this caused my score to drop points and negatively impacted my ability to rebuild my credit. 

This type of blatant disregard for obvious policy and procedure regarding how bankruptcies are to be reported both during and after the proceedings is unacceptable. 

The FTC clearly stated : Section 607 ( b ) of the FCRA requires credit bureaus " to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. '' In our view, it is not a reasonable procedure to label an account that has been discharged in bankruptcy as " charged off as bad debt '' if the account was open and not charged off when the consumer filed bankruptcy. Such a designation would be inaccurate or misleading, because it would indicate that the creditor had written off the account at the time of bankruptcy when it had not in fact done so.

Complaint:
Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to kindly request your assistance in removing some information from my account. According to the law, medical bills under {$500.00} are supposed to be removed and it is a violation of my rights under 15 US code 1681 and 15 US code 1681b to have this information present. Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could suppress any negative information and update the report accordingly. I understand that it is illegal to place a charge off on a report and send a XXXX to the debtor. Furthermore, I have noticed that the reporting across the bureaus is not accurate, and I kindly request that the information be removed immediately. I have attached the relevant report for your reference. Finally, I would like to raise a concern regarding the difficulty in accessing my online account. I believe it is unfair to have to pay to see my own data, and I would appreciate if the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau could investigate this matter.
