State: IA
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:
There is a late payment from XXXX or XXXX of 2019 showing on my credit report from XXXX. I was set up for autopay on my account and when logging into the discover app, it showed my payment had been made successfully and did not show me any issues with the payment. I did not realize there was any problem until after they reported it to the credit bureau. Once I was made aware of the late payment reporting on my credit report, I promptly fixed the banking information and paid off the account. If discover had reached out to me and let me know there was an issue, this would have been resolved much sooner. Instead, they kept trying the same payment information for 2 months without informing me the payments were not going through. 

When I call discover and ask them to remove this as this was their fault, they tell me to dispute it with the credit bureaus and they will remove it. However, each time I dispute this 30 day late showing on my credit report, they dont remove it like they promised. 

This single late payment showing up is keeping me from obtaining a mortgage.

Complaint:
I am a XXXX  mother who is trying to refinance a mortgage right now so that I may have a roof of my families head, but my mortgage is too expensive. If I refinance my housing payment will be much more affordable as I have been financially impacted due to covid-19. My mortgage broker recently contacted me stating that I would not be able to refinance my home ( {$1000.00} a month difference ) because of inaccurate information left on my credit report ( s ) by XXXX XXXX for child support. I am current on my payments, never have been late. Any late payments listed are inaccurate and should be deleted right away. I am complaint to the CFPB because I am being given the runaround by XXXX stating I should file a complaint with the bureaus, which is not correct. The bureaus are the ones who publish the information that is reported to them by data furnishers such as XXXX. I am requesting that XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion investigate my file as I am disputing the attached items and XXXX should correct the reporting right away that it has sent to the bureaus before a lawsuit indeed is filed, which XXXX will be required to pay my legal fees for inaccurate credit reporting. I do not care if XXXX is a government agency, this is my 30 notice of intent to file a lawsuit. Alternatively, the negative information needs to be deleted before all parties including the bureaus are involved in a lawsuit pursuant to the FCRA. Kindly consider this my request to remove this inaccurate information I have never been late. This is causing me a lot of XXXX  and XXXX  and I do not know why I must spend so many countless hours trying to fix the mistakes caused by all the parties listed on this complaint.

Complaint:
Nelnet is one of my student loan lenders. They refuse to send my correspondence via paper mail even though I have opted out of e-mail. In addition, I have been locked out of my account several times. 
I have called several times and have received pushback from the customer service agents regarding transparency of my account. I qualify for and applied for the IDR, income-driven repayment plan. When I applied in XX/XX/XXXX, they stated that " it was too early. '' When I tried to apply for it again in XX/XX/XXXX, they told me " that I had to submit a letter with a description of my income. '' When I stated that I had no taxable income, they continued harassing me, even though the letter is not part of the terms of the agreement. I am on the IDR with my other two lenders, XXXX & XXXX. XXXX recently got bought out by Nelnet, so I don't see how they can't streamline the process.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Wed called and set-up an automatic payment with a representative for a one time {$1600.00} payment. Our mortgage is usually {$1300.00}. The extra {$300.00} was a one time payment to cover escrow costs. The company accidentally withdrew two payments. One for {$1600.00} on the XXXX of XXXX, and an additional {$1300.00} on the XXXX. This overdrew our bank account. After calling freedom mortgage, a representative told us they were sorry for the mistake, and that the funds would be available next day ( XX/XX/XXXX ). After discovering our account was still negative, we called and spoke to another representative. That representative reviewed the notes and told us the first representative said to send in a bank statement before they could process the refund. We were never told that. After speaking with the second representative, we sent the statement into Freedom Mortgage. The company acknowledged receiving our bank statements and the refund would be sent within three days. After three days, we called and spoke with another representative that told us the refund would be sent to us on the XXXX of XXXX. We called back today and now were being told the XXXX. 
Were usually very easy going customers. I understand that everyone, even large companies must try to adapt to the current situation. However, there appears to be no personal accountability with the company. Our bank account has been negative for 8 days. Weve received numerous overdraft fees. This has definitely been a difficult week, and were left trying to figure out how to get caught up again financially after all of this. I want to be clear in stating, that the representatives weve spoken to in the passed two days have tried everything they can to help. Unfortunately their hands appeared to be tied. We really do appreciate you looking into this. Thanks so much.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, my credit report displayed that my XXXX XXXX XXXX was charged off and closes in XXXX. A month or so later they begin to re-age my date by fraudulently submitting that I began making payments dating back to XXXX. This is untrue and fraud. I have not made any payments to this account. This company has caused me to not be able to acquire loans to support my family. This is a severe injustice of my rights. I have sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus asking them to verify this information and delete this account for incorrect information being submitted. The bureaus only response is that " the account has been updated ''. Updating a fraudulent account after the fact does not help. This is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. RE-AGING DEBT IS ILLEGAL!

State: IN
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
Two collection companies ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ; Commonwealth Financial Systems , Inc . ), have filed inaccurate and erroneous information with all three of the major credit bureaus ( XXXX XXXX, and XXXX  ) on my credit files. XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) is no longer affiliated with my account, even though they claimed to have been a creditor and owned this debt for over two years. I believe that XXXX sold this account at some time between XXXX and XXXX of XXXX to Commonwealth Financial Services, Inc. 

In XXXX ( XXXX ), I wrote certified letters to the three major credit bureaus ( XXXX XXXX and XXXX ) to dispute the accuracy of two delinquent items that had been on my credit reports. One item was a credit card bill, and the other item was a medical bill. The credit card bill was quickly removed. The medical bill did not reappear back on my credit reports until XXXX ( XXXX ). The credit bureaus sent me a report stating that the debt appeared to be valid based upon their investigation. I then sent a certified letter to the collection agency Commonwealth Financial Systems , Inc. ( CFSI ) to validate this proposed debt, along with them sending me copies of the assignment contract, licensing information and any original documentation from the original creditor ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). CFSI only provided its internal reference number, the original creditors name and address, an account number ( altered to disguise the actual number ), the service date, amount due ( inaccurate ), and the current creditor ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ). CFSI also attached a billing statement of charges on the current creditors letterhead. I sent a second certified letter requesting that they sending me the other information that I had originally requested in my first letter, along with a billing statement from the original creditor. In CFSIs response letter, I received the same billing statement, absent the other information that I had originally requested. 

In XXXX ( XXXX ), I sent to CFSI a certified letter which also contained a billing document from the original creditor ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I highlighted the actual charges that was in dispute, along with the area of the statement which indicated the date and amount of payment that was made. The statement clearly shows that all services were paid on XX/XX/XXXX. 

In response, CFSI has reduced the amount owed on my credit reports from XXXX, to XXXX. The account continues to show a past due and seriously delinquent status on my credit files with the credit bureaus.
