Consumer complaint received 2021-05-14
Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: OK
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Complaint:
In approximately XX/XX/XXXX, I had some procedures performed at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX  XXXX. There were some questions on some of the charges that I was disputing following the receipt of the billings. This went on for a couple of months. In approximately XXXX of XXXX they sent the bills to Transworld Systems for collection, and TSI sent me a notice. Immediately upon receipt of the notice I called TSI, and set up two payments for consecutive months. Those payments were made on XX/XX/XXXX to TSI for {$600.00} and the second made on XX/XX/XXXX to TSI for XXXX which cleared the XXXX XXXX account. I made those payments without threat from or to TSI. 
In XXXX, XXXX my credit ratings dropped from the XXXX to the low-mid XXXX 's. I called up my consultants to pull the credit file and found that TSI had listed this as a collection, although it showed a {$0.00} balance with a high balance of {$1100.00}. It first showed up in XXXX, XXXX as a " XXXX Balance Collection '' and is reported each month as a XXXX balance collection, since. 
I have spent hours on the phone, in multiple calls, with different representatives of TSI. There was never any indication from TSI that if paid, especially quickly and voluntarily, that this matter would be added to my credit file. In the last phone call XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX the overly surly representative said, for the first time, that those payments were used for another debt that they had. I told him that was impossible as I had no other debt on their, or anyone else 's file. He informed me that a bulk of it was used on a debt which was not even on their books at the time I made the initial payments of {$1100.00}. There was a new collection from XXXX in the amount of {$2600.00} that was billed to me by TSI on XX/XX/XXXX and paid in full on XX/XX/XXXX. There is no way that any of the prior amount could have been used for the XXXX amount. Nor did I authorize the payment of {$1100.00} to be used for anything but the original debt. I asked the last representative to please forward me a complete accounting of my charges, payments and dates made to and by TSI. To date, over six weeks has passed and I have not received any further correspondence from them. 

I urge Transworld Services to please remove this collection from the three credit bureaus. While I was having a dispute on the original bill, XXXX sent it to them erroneously, then once I got the original collection, it was paid immediately. Then after the fact, TSI listed it as a Paid Collection was put as a zero-balance paid collection on my reports. This has ruined my credit. I do not have one other late payment on my credit. Please do the right thing and remove this blight on my credit. 
If not, how can anyone ever trust you and the way you do business?

Company: MOHELA
State: MD
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
I got a call from a XXXX Agent claiming to relieve the loans I have through their debt relief program. Being naive I gave them my SSN and applied for their program. I've made 2 payments but realized something was fishy and decided to login to my FSA student account. I saw that my loans where forgiven by the XXXX administration and that I have {$0.00} loans to pay back. On XX/XX/XXXX I logged back into my account and realized SOMEONE HAS COMPROMISED AND STOLE MY IDENTITY AND APPLIED FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF LOANS FROM A STUDENT LOAN SERVICER I NEVER HEARD OF UNDER MY NAME. Which didn't make sense because my loans just got forgiven and I'm not in school anymore! 


I went to check the email linked to my FSA student account and saw an on XX/XX/2022 saying I received an email from a Student loan Servicer call Mohela about taking out a loan for the amount of {$13000.00}. I NEVER authorized this payment! The email also included that they have been trying to call me and mail to my address but the address they have on file is invalid. So that means someone is using my SSN along with invalid information to attempt to apply for a student loan in my name. 

The file is currently still being processed but I need it to be canceled and the loan Disputed, BECAUSE ITS NOT ME!

Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
Pursuant to 15 USC 1681c-2 at the receipt of an identity theft report a consumer reporting agency has 4 business days to block the fraudulent information from my consumer report.

The response from Equifax, which is attached, not only show that they've received my identity theft report, but has also prove that they've refuse to block the fraudulent information from my consumer report. Which by law they have no grounds to do so being that the request was a mistake by me the consumer, and the identity theft report from the Federal Trade Commission, which is attached, is not a misrepresentation of fact of this fraudulent information, and I did not receive and goods, services, or money for the blocking of this information.

This company Equifax in violation of my rights as a consumer under the FCRA. Also on the paper they sent, they claim these fraudulent inquiries are a factual record of file. A factual record of file by whom? Not only are these fraudulent inquiries unauthorized by me, but I also did not give any consent to any consumer reporting agency to include this fraudulent information to my report.

As written by congress the failure to comply with the removal of these fraudulent inquiries makes you liable under section 1681n of title 15.

As a consumer I am demanding that the following fraudulent inquiries are removed within 4 business days of the receipt of this complaint XXXX XXXX Inquiry : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry : XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry : XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Inquiry : XXXX.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I XXXX XXXX the natural person have been attempting to resolve my consumer report for months with this company and haven't been getting any cooperation. I have sent them letters called them and I still get no results. I know that it is illegal for them to furnish my consumer report according to the FCRA unless they have my written consent to do so. I asked them to send me the letter that they have from me where I stated that they could furnish it and all I kept getting back were updated accounts. They couldn't even tell me who they investigated with for them to come back verified after the investigation. This is starting to feel like a form of oppression because I can't even use my right of extending my own credit because of these unlawful practices. This is infringement on my privacy and I am very displeased that they just ignore my request as a consumer. They are very consistent with stall tactics by sending letters stating that this is not me filing this complaint and it was a credit repair company.
