Complaint:
Hello there I discovered that a debt collection company, LVNV Funding LLC, had purchased an old debt from XXXX of a closed credit card account that was paid in full, and reported on my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX. The debt is now once again sold to Resurgent Capital Services in XX/XX/XXXX because LVNV Funding LLC had closed their business. 

The debt was for credit card account ending in XXXX, with an amount of {$5200.00}, which was opened in XX/XX/XXXX. The account was paid and closed on XX/XX/XXXX, with confirmation number and reference number. Please see attachment # 1. 

I had been dealing with XXXX and multiple creditors over and over again for the past 3-4 years, spent hundreds of hours on call, email, disputes, and fax, and the same account was confirmed by XXXX multiple times that it's been paid in full and closed. 

When the same debt showed up on my credit report again in XXXX, i finally hired a law firm to represent me and sent a letter to XXXX, XXXX finally had Ms. XXXX XXXX from the Executive Response Unit replied me and sent another confirmation letter to me in XX/XX/XXXX as proof that the account was paid in full and closed.

Please see attachment # 3 If you look at my credit report, all XXXX related accounts were closed since XXXX to XXXX. No new XXXX account was opened. See Attachment # 4 It is NOT legal to harass consumer with fault account and I've had enough!! 
I demand that your company and XXXX to fully close, and forever remove this " debt '' account from my credit report within 14 days upon received of this email. 

I am filing this complaint with Consumer Financial Protection Bureau CFPB on XX/XX/XXXX, against Resurgent and XXXX.

I will proceed with lawsuit if Resurgent Capital Services and XXXX fail to fix the error within 14 days. A law firm had been contacted and ready to file the case anytime.

Complaint:
I recently filed a report with XXXX XXXX and Equifax of inaccurate items being reported on my credit reports. NONE OF THE THREE BUREAUS REMOVED THE INACCURACIES. Failure to delete items that were disputed as debts which resulted from identity theft is a violation of The Federal Fair Credit Reporting. I never received notification of the debts on my credit reports. This is a defamation of character and misrepresentation of my true credit worthiness. I recently applied for a loan and was denied due to inaccurate information being reported on my credit reports. I am exercising my right as a consumer who is a victim of identity theft. I ask that these accounts be deleted within 15 days of these receipts otherwise I will be forced to file a litigation explicitly stating your companys negligence to abide by The Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

State: TX

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 been serviced by Fed Loan servicing since XXXX. 
I have been a participant in the public server loan program. Since that time I have accrued XXXX qualifying payments toward the forgiveness plan. I have XXXX or XXXX pending approval for the past two years not for lack of submitting the appropriate documentation. 

I have been with the same employer since XXXX and had payments approved up till XX/XX/XXXX, The approval process has stalled. There is a new public service loan forgiveness tool in which you add your employer and find out if its qualify or not. It has taken me roughly 2 years and some additional time to have my employer, previously approved in the program, added to the tool. I have submitted a great deal of collateral information to make this happen for my small nonprofit. Unfortunately just after my company was added as eligible to the tool, Fedloan made the decision that I not only was not qualified but did not work at a nonprofit. 

I work at a small nonprofit XXXX ( B ) which can be found on the Texas XXXX XXXX website. I have sacrificed earned income to work for a company in which I have a great deal of faith for the quality of care that we can provide rather than a corporate for-profit medical association. 

I have spent about as many hours as it would take to actually earn the money which I owe simply trying to get my loans approved for forgiveness under the new waiver which was approved by federal law.
