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

Complaint:
I am writing to you because I was in a car accident on XX/XX/XXXX. I had a loan through Truist. XXXX XXXX paid over XXXX and gap was to pay the rest. I checked daily to see if they check was received. Once the check was posted it left a balance of a little over XXXX. I was then told by gap that the moment I made the report to Truist, they should have immediately called the warranty company for the warranty portion of the check. I took it upon myself to call and they immediately issused a check to Truist. The check is attached. Truist said it was sent to the wrong department and they would have to located it. This took 2.5 months. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Truist again because after issuing me a check for the overage, which is approximately XXXX short, I am still documented as late paying ; now three months behind. Once they saw the date on the check, the fair and courteous thing to do was to remove the late payment off of my credit. Attached is the copy of the check and date XX/XX/2023. The check was sent out same day as printed. 

I asked the credit department to remove the late payment from my credit history and they denied my request. I was never late paying them and think it's a small gesture to have this removed from my credit history. 

In seven years, this will be removed from my credit report, but the damage will never be forgotten. The check was written and sent out on XX/XX/XXXX, but they didn't credit it to me until XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint:
I am a victim of identity theft and did not make the charges. I ask that the items be blocked to correct my credit report. I reported the theft of my identity to both the Police and Federal Trade Commission and I also have enclosed copies of the Federal Trade Commissions Identity Theft Affidavit for this case. Please investigate these matters and block the disputed item as soon as possible. I have been trying to get this matter handled for several months now and the credit bureaus are not giving me much help.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Re : Loan Number XXXX To whom it may concern or The Money Source Escrow Account Manager, On XX/XX/XXXX I found out that my homeowners insurance, XXXX XXXX XXXX, had been canceled on XX/XX/XXXX due to a non-payment but my account showed the proof that my insurance was still active. To confirm the coverage, I contacted your customer service on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with XXXX and was told you did not receive any cancellation notice and that my coverage was still good until XX/XX/XXXX. Additionally I was told that 2 payments were made to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for {$2000.00} and XX/XX/XXXX for {$430.00}. Thus I was told no action needed to be taken at this time. XXXX also stated that she will follow up with my question by doing some research and get back to me, but I never received a call back so I put this information in writing and sent you an email on XX/XX/XXXX requesting an explanation as to why I was being told I had insurance when I didnt. 

Unfortunately, I never received a response regarding my question or a record of my insurance being canceled and now 8 months later, on XX/XX/XXXX, I am being penalized for a lapse in coverage which is causing my premium to double. 

To resolve the problem, I would appreciate an explanation of what happened to the payments made to XXXX XXXX and why you ( The Money Source ) never informed me of the cancellation. Why did it take this long or 8 months for you ( The Money Source ) to ask me to take action or to remedy the situation? Even when I called on XX/XX/XXXX, you stated that my insurance was still active with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( until XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) - so why did you provide me false information? I have lost trust in how you have handled my escrow account. This was your job to inform and communicate to me so that I could have done something about it. I could have gotten a new insurance so that there wouldn't be a lapse in coverage nor be penalized for it. 

Again, I'd appreciate an explanation and a refund of my premium for the lapse period, XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX and cancellation of the lender-placed insurance payment of {$2300.00}. Enclosed are copies of my records ( email and proof of your payment to XXXX XXXX ). 

I look forward to your reply and a resolution to my problem. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Problem when attempting to purchase vehicle at the end of the lease

Complaint:
I have contacted GM Financial twice a week since XX/XX/XXXX pertaining to the return of an unpaid check from my credit union to purchase the vehicle. I unfortunately did not follow the stipulations of the loan, pre-approved checks can not be written to a lender. I need to purchase a vehicle and settle my account with GM Financial. I can not receive another check from my credit union until they have possession of the original check, a Legal Copy 21 of the check ( that can be retrieved from their bank, no photocopy ), or a statement from them confirming they will not try to resubmit the check. I have signed a letter of indemnity for the check on behalf of XXXX, but that is not sufficient to clear the matter. GM Financial is responding like my request is absurd. They are claiming to no longer have the check, the check was shredded, we never send return checks to customers, we are on a new system and the old system will have your request, no one has access to the old system, there is no phone number for the accounting dept., my request must be directed to their legal dept., legal dept. does not have a phone number ( fax only ). I was told to email and fax their resolution department. The resolution department emailed me requesting to call for further assistance. I called and was told the same thing again. I was told to fax their legal department. I am still waiting.

Issue: Other transaction problem

Complaint:
Paypal refused to close my account when I discovered that someone had created a business account linked to my personal account and took money out of my bank account. 

I have a PayPal account and an unauthorized transaction occurred on XX/XX/2021. transaction ID # XXXX for {$110.00}. I am unable to locate an account number associated with my account. 

on XX/XX/2021 I discovered the issue and electronically indicated the payment was not authorized and I received an automated response that this was being checked. Upon review of my account I noted that a business account had been added/upgraded to my personal account and the name was not my name. Also there was a tax ID number added. I tried to remove both and I was not able to do. 
I removed my bank account access. And changed my password. I attempted to close the account entirely and I received a decline message with instructions to call customer service. 

Also on XXXX, at XXXX XXXX ET ; I called customer service at Paypal. I talked to someone in another country and she tried to help. After speaking to her supervisor several times and repeatedly telling me that if I chose to close the account that she could help me, she was not able to close the account BUT could remove the business upgrade. 
I told her that it was not just a choice but that someone had gotten into my account without my permission and was using it illegally. 

Paypal refused to close my account because a transaction had been made in the last 60 days. 

Do they not know fraud when they hear it?

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: HI
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Complaint:
I graduated from XXXX XXXX University in XX/XX/XXXX and then moved to XXXX to begin my career in XXXX as a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX. When summer rolled around and my student loan payments became due they were more than I actually took home monthly. I contacted Navient and was told my only option was to put the loans into forbearance. Which I qualified for because of my low income status. While in forbearance the loans would continue to accrue interest and I would not be eligible for the federal student loan forgiveness programs because I was not making a payment. This continued from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX years ago when I was informed by a colleague at work that I could qualify for an income based repayment option. Turned out due to the high cost of living and the low XXXX  salary in XXXX XXXX my payment is {$0.00} per month. As a XXXX in a XXXX XXXX XXXX working full time I qualify for the Federal Public Service loan forgiveness program ; which I am signed up for now. This program requires 120 payments on the loans ( 10 years of paying monthly ) and then the remaining balance will be forgiven. Even a {$0.00} payment qualifies, this program was designed specifically for state and government workers whose jobs require higher education but the salary is typically low. I spent fromXX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXXon forbearance and none of that time counts towards forgiveness. I am very angry because on several calls I asked specifically for help in the monthly payment and for information on loan forgiveness and was told forbearance was my best and only option. So now I have to continue accruing interest and making the adjusted payment for another 8 years, when if Navient had offered me the program I asked for to begin with, this year would be the end of my student loans. I love being a XXXX but the only way to maintain my license and to increase my pay is with continued education. I have to use the federal loan service to continue my education and advancement in my career. But I have over 100,000.00 in loans and at this point I was not even able to buy a car or to be part of the mortgage when my husband and I bought a home. I was naive in the thought that because it was a federal loan the servicer would want to offer me the best options and I am very angry that this company has put my family into financial strain. I am sure there is no way to get back the time that navient took from me but there should be compensation of some kind at least in the interest amount that was collected.

Complaint:
Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am writing in response to your recent correspondence regarding my dispute of the accounts ending in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. As I previously stated, these accounts were opened without my permission and have caused significant harm to my credit score and ability to obtain credit, in violation of Section 1681s-2 ( a ) of the FCRA and the CFPB 's Bulletin 2013-1. 

Your response did not fully address my concerns and I am disappointed to see that you believe that the account ending in XXXX belongs to me. I maintain that this account was opened without my permission and I demand that it be removed from my credit report immediately. Your confirmation that you are reporting accurate information is simply not sufficient. In accordance with the FCRA and CFPB guidelines, I am requesting that you provide me with a written statement of the results of your investigation and a copy of my corrected credit report within 30 days of receipt of this letter. 

I am also demanding that you remove all other accounts that were opened without my permission from my credit report immediately. I understand that you have asked the CRAs to delete some of these accounts, but I want to make it clear that I am demanding their removal as well. 

I want to remind you that reporting of inaccurate information is in violation of [ 15 US C 1681 section 604 A Section 2 ] [ 15 USC 1681 Section 602 ] [ 15 US code 5 1681b ] and other CFPB regulations. Your failure to comply with these regulations could result in legal action against your company. 

I expect a prompt response to this letter and for all accounts that were opened without my permission to be removed from my credit report immediately. Please provide me with a written confirmation of your actions and a copy of my corrected credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
