Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I entered an agreement with XXXX  on my credit card ending in XXXX through its collection agent XXXX XXXX. Prior to a dismissed XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy, my account was in good standing. After the XXXX XXXX was dismissed, I tried to resume payments but was told the account had been charged-off. I agreed to a settlement of {$1500.00} making XXXX payments of {$250.00} to satisfy the account. I was told I could call back and re-negotiate the agreement after a few successful payments. I called back on XX/XX/XXXX and ask to re-negotiate the agreement to {$1000.00} due to financial issues which was a direct result of COVID-19. I earn income as a PT XXXX XXXX  and a XXXX XXXX  for XXXX ; as you are aware all institutions of education were impacted. I shared this information with XXXX XXXX ; at that time XXXX XXXX took over the account. I paid the {$1000.00} based on the re-negotiated request in XX/XX/XXXX. None of the payments made were reported to the Credit Bureaus. I spoke with the representative XXXX XXXX at XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX regarding this account and I was told again that the account is not longer with their offices - I would have to reach out to XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX at XXXX and spoke with XXXX, XXXX # XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. After discussing the issue with XXXX, he stated the XX/XX/XXXX agreement was no longer an option and the {$1000.00} settlement agreement was denied and I would have to enter into a new agreement based on the current balance of {$2500.00}. XXXX indicated he would have to speak with his superiors regarding an acceptable amount - I was told $ XXXX was required to satisfy the account. This is {$1100.00} over the initial agreement and it appears XXXX XXXX is trying to collect 2-3x more on the account as we all know the charge-off ( bad debt ) was transferred or sold to a collection agency for pennies on the dollar and then reinstated to collect from me again. Not to mention, XXXX XXXX filed this charge-off as a loss on its balance ledger to the IRS. This is causing an adverse effect with my federal employer and my clearance which is a requirement for my continued employment and an extreme hardship to my credit report. I have since been extended new opportunities from XXXX and all accounts are in good standing.

Company: Solar Mosaic LLC
State: VA
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021, I was notified through my credit monitoring service that my account with Webbank/Mosaic had been reported as closed and that the balance was now {$0.00}. I just opened this account in XXXX, so I checked my credit report to find out what was going on and my Equifax report showed that indeed the report is now reporting as closed with a {$0.00} balance. I called on that day and was told that there was no one available to assist. On the following Monday, XX/XX/2021, I called and was told they had to escalate to a higher group to investigate and I would hear something in 3 to 5 business days. I called back after 6 days and was told it would take longer. On XX/XX/2021, I was told there was still no resolution and the best way to resolve would be to send an email. I emailed and received a response today saying that the loan was not paid off and I could provide proof of payment. They completely left off the part about the credit reporting. 

This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. They are not reporting correct information and the loan is not reported to either XXXX  or XXXX. They need to address the actual issue of the incorrect reporting to my credit report and not something I didn't say.

Complaint:
Bank of America accounts were opened on XX/XX/XXXX, by someone ( not me ). How does BofA allow someone to open an account without verifying their identity? I immediately called their fraud department and they closed the account. But I only heard about this because the fraud used my real email address. If they had not I would have never known about it. 
I then got 3 more emails on XX/XX/XXXX, saying someone tried to open yet another account.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: OH
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
I have multiple degrees and multiple loan groupings. I applied early to the XXXX program in XX/XX/XXXX and was confirmed by XXXX that all would be eligible for XXXX. Nelnet has kept my professional loans separate in standard repayment, despite my grace period ending XX/XX/XXXX. They have the loans marked due in XXXX and telling me that these loans will not be processed under the XXXX program until then, and that I will be responsible for the interest accumulating daily on these loans while they take the time to process. They are clearly not equipped to be servicing these loans. I have called XX/XX/XXXX, on hold for an hour and told these loans would be on XXXX by the end of XXXX. XXXX on hold for XXXX minutes and didn't get to talk to a servicer. I have sent multiple emails as well. XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX -- on hold for XXXX hours only to be told they are going to need XXXX extra days to process the application that was submitted in XX/XX/XXXX, and that I would owe interest because of their incapabilities. I made an online payment of XXXX $ on XX/XX/XXXX with the special instructions that they go towards my professional loan interest only ( AL, AM, AN ), but of course they applied it to the incorrect loans that were already in XXXX and should not have been paid. They make themselves unavailable for it to be corrected on the phone. I dont have XXXX hours to wait on hold. I have to work during business hours when they are actually open and I have my daughter to take care of at night. Every time I call in and actually do get to talk to someone after hours, nobody knows what's going on and somehow I am the expert on the loan statuses, explaining to them what the issue is. Clearly they have no interest in processing the application so they can continue collecting interest that should no longer be accumulating. They need to be held accountable for their ineptitude and wrongdoing. They are preventing access to knowledgeable servicers who can actually answer what is going on with the loans, hoping people will give up when they can't get through.. I spent years in school so that I could be helping patients, and instead of opportunities to refine my clinical skills I'm spending my time off on hold for hours because of this shady loan servicer. Shame on Nelnet.
