Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
I made a final closing payment in may with Comenity bank on my XXXX XXXX XXXX and closed the account. I was told there was nothing else for me to do and that I was good to go. I was then called months later saying I owed interest fee even though I had fully paid the account and was told I had nothing left on it and even closed it. I didnt have access to the account. On top of the interest fee on a closed account, I was charged multiple late fees. I never received any form of statement via mail or email. I told them I wasnt paying something I had no idea I owed. The customer service representative then said okay bye and hung up on me. I spoke with another woman who told me shed pass it along. I then called again and was told dont worry, we wiped it clean youre good to go. I thought everything was ok until I was checking my credit today ( XX/XX/2022 ) and I saw there was still a fee listed. I called and sure enough i owe {$42.00} still. I hadn't even received a phone call since the original calls. I eventually spoke with a supervisor who told me she waived the fees and credited the account which then leaves my account with no payments left. Im still not sure this is fact, and I feel unsure that I wont eventually be getting phone calls on account thats been closed since XXXX. I already spoke with a supervisor and Im not sure who else to speak with. I paid the account off and closed it months ago, and was never told I owed money until months after the first late fee was due.

Complaint:
I acquired a credit report with Experian.com XX/XX/2022 and once receiving a copy of my report, I called your department because I saw some UNVERIFIABLE items on my personal profile ; I detected that there was a CHARGE OFF account Name : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX Addresses : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX on my credit report which are UNKNOWN to me. This is disappointing because I have been paying Experian.com to get a report every month and I have been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report all this time. One of the staff told me to visit https : //www.ftc.gov/ and Report the Fraudulent accounts and have them BLOCKED OR REMOVED from my credit file. Ive attached a copy of the identity theft report ( FTC report # : XXXX ), and guess what I found? Per Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 605B ( a ) the credit bureaus are required to remove/block any account which was opened without my knowledge, consent or authority within 4 business days with ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. 

A copy of my Utility Bill, drivers license, and Social Security Number are all included in this complaint. I want you to know that I am telling the truth and by Experian not blocking these items are inadvertently resulting in me being extorted.

Complaint:
My federal student loans through XXXX XXXX were being serviced through XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. I went from being an employed XXXX XXXX XXXX with children to unemployed/not enrolled in school due to an XXXX XXXX diagnosis in Spring of XXXX. I made my institution of higher education aware of my situation, as I was on a scholarship. I was immediately placed in deferment until I was able to return to class. I was never contacted by XXXX that they owned my loans or how to begin payments. I received a letter that they were going to garnish my income tax refund for tax year XXXX in XXXX. I filed an extension for my tax return until I was able to sort out the discrepancy. I contacted XXXX and informed them of my circumstances, as well as explained that I had not received any communication from them about my account at all. I was told I would be immediately placed on deferment by their representative and she requested proof of my income/welfare eligibility. I faxed in everything that was requested. I later discovered that XXXX placed me in a temporary forbearance instead of deferment and my loan amount ( {$4500.00} and {$2200.00} ) gained interest ( {$810.00} ) and was sold to a new creditor. The new creditor contacted me upon gaining ownership of my loans and consolidated my loans into one loan and I owe {$7500.00}. I have 28 late payments reporting on my credit reports in the 24 months they serviced my loans. While my 2 XXXX accounts show as being closed, my student loan is reporting on 3 different accounts- 2 negative accounts being XXXX. XXXX has unfairly and incorrectly reported my history to all 3 credit bureaus for years. Reporting any invalidated information to major credit bureaus may constitute defamation of character, as negative listing on credit  report does not allow me to enjoy the benefits of good credit and jeopardizes my credit worthiness. I have the right to fair credit reporting and want them to report accurately.

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:
The status of these accounts reporting is an inaccurate account, from dates when the account was open, reported dates, dates of last active, date of last payment, and reporting charged off which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ). 

If your company has filled out a 1099c form and is continuing any kind of collection activity as defined under 31 U.S. Code 3711 ( e ) by performing any of the following conduct ; administrative offset, tax refund offset, referral to private collection contractors, referral to agencies operating a debt collection center, reporting delinquencies to the credit reporting agencies, garnishing wages, pursuing litigation or foreclosure, you are committing tax fraud and should be reported to the IRS for a fraudulent financial gain. 

Also, 1099-C must be mailed to consumers. I did not receive anything which is a violation. As defined by the IRS, even if you didnt receive a Form 1099-C, you MUST report Canceled Debt as gross income on your tax return, according to the IRS. For an account to be Charged Off, the debt had to have been Canceled. Canceled Debt must be reported as Gross Income on a tax return. Its illegal to report income to my consumer report. 

Companies that mark accounts as charged off take advantage of 1099c forms and deem it a profit loss, meaning they collect from the IRS. It is illegal to collect from the IRS and still attempt to collect from the consumer/individual. The reported balance of these accounts is inaccurate, and the agency is to comply by blocking and deleting these accounts from my reports as they do not, and never have had my written consent to report these listings ( Violation of 15 USC 1681b ).
