Company: HEARTLAND PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC
State: IN
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:
I recently received a bill in the mail that was a XXXX past due bill for a student loan that was supposed to be in grace period ( I graduated in XXXX of XXXX with my final degree ). The last notice I received stated that the covid extension was ending soon but I was still in school so I should not have had a payment, regardless. This was early XXXX. I had not once received notification that a bill was due, and would have gladly paid it on time if I had received it. Instead, the bill was past due when I had no prior knowledge a payment had been due. I was contacted by the university instead after the fact. I attempted to contact ECSI by phone, of which I was on hold for almost XXXX hours before hanging up. I instead called the university and they stated that ECSI had attempted to contact me by mail and school email in which I have not had access to in almost 5 years. I still receive mail at the address that was provided and as stated above I have not received a notice from ECSI about a payment due, but a letter from XXXX  XXXX XXXX when the bill was already 60 days past due. I asked why another notice wasnt sent by the school before it got to the point of being past due if they are able to handle the same matters, as to which I was given no explanation. I paid the past due amount a few days ago, which is not a problem. But I was informed that the past due status was reported to the credit bureau on XX/XX/XXXX, again, with no prior knowledge on my end of a bill being due by mail or by phone. When I asked the representative at XXXX  XXXX XXXX if she can assist with removing this from my report she stated that I would have to file a dispute. I would like this removed from my credit report. I have never missed a payment to any creditor, and this will negatively impact my credit report and corresponding score. Also to note, I check the federal student loan website pretty frequently and it never updated to indicate there was a payment and how much.

Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
The credit reporting agencies have violated my consumer rights. An alleged debt being furnished on my credit report is a violation of 15 use 1692b ( 2 ). Why?

Because it being furnished would mean I owe it but a debt collector cant say I owe anything. Its also advertising to coerce payment which is illegal. There is not ONE law that says ANY credit transaction has to be reported.

Pursuant to 15 usc 1681a ( 2 ) ( B ) any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer of a credit card or similar device Should be excluded from a consumer report. The definition of a credit card under 15 usc 1681 is the same as it is under 15 usc 1602 ( I ) which is the term credit card means any card, plate, coupon book or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor, or services on credit. Notice, congress said ANY card, The Credit card is my social security card. This is the credit card I used to originate every consumer credit transaction below. They should alb removed from my consumer report pursuant to 15 usc 1681a ( 2 ) ( B ). I am demanding that they remove this transaction from my report immediately as they are a violation of my rights as a federally protected consumer under title 15 chapter 41.

I demand that the credit reporting agencies delete the accounts I have listed on my letter immediately!

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I continue to keep getting the run around on when they state they can remove the mortgage insurance on my mortgage. At first they said after 5 years and then they changed it to state that the loan to value ratio had to be a certain amount but I know my LTV is well within the parameters. I continue to get phone calls from them disguised like they have decided to now remove it and just need to speak to me to get some things worked out when it then turns into a marketing scam to get me take out a line of credit or borrow on all of the equity I have in it. I get them so often now and they are so sneaky when telling me what they want that I have become to doubt them and think that I may really be able to have that mortgage insurance taken off now. I want to know exactly what the rules are regarding the mortgage insurance and what my options are.

Complaint:
Received a phone call that a debt was going to collections. I called and the lady told me I had a debt for a cash loan through XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$500.00}, and if I solve it I would only owe {$600.00}. If I don't solve it I will owe {$2000.00} as they will send it back to the lawyer. If I if I pay by XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX. I can pay {$300.00} and solve my debt. I have never taken a loan and I called the places that do loans nobody has my information ever in their system. The main company XXXX  XXXX XXXX, they are located in XXXX. she then told me that it was an online vendor And gave me an IP address. The name of her company was XXXX XXXX  or a bunch of other names. When asked she said they just do. I called asking for the address and she told me she wasn't able to give that due to business and banking information on files there. She gave me a website which does not look legit. XXXX She claims I can't find the businesses online because they're only at that website and by phone. Her name is XXXX her phone is XXXX XXXX but they don't have an option for an extension and only 2 people ive spoken to when calling 8 times for more information. 
When explaining to XXXX that I have never taken out a loan they continue to tell me that I was responsible for it and after I paid then I could receive documents regarding my loan and regarding the collection but they could not send me any paperwork until I made the payment to them. Upon looking up everything else to try to find out legitimacy regarding this because I know I have never had a loan taken out I have decided that I will not be making any payment to them and if it goes to my credit I will then reach out to the company and figure it out on how to report fraud in that way. 
XXXX had my previous name, my new last name, my social security number, my birthday and my previous addresses as well as my current. I am worried because they have this information as to what can happen next. so far they have not proven to me that there was ever a loan taken on my name you're under my social because nobody has any information on me taking a loan ever so I can find. And I know I personally have never taken a loan. 
I believe the fraud is them having my personal and private information and I am not ok with this!!

I did not receive any money, goods, or services as a result of identity theft. I contacted the Credit Bureau and told me to file an Identity Theft Report which I am doing. I appreciate your effort in getting this matter resolved. Thank you. Please let me know if you need any other information from me to block this information from my credit report. Thank you.

I felt like I was being treated as a criminal. they have had poor communication regarding this whole matter. their information was not consistent and they treat new customers like criminals. I have not committed fraud. I have not made a report to the credit bureau so this treatment even after I have been verified is unacceptable. I am requesting for a investigation.

Complaint:
Recently ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I applied for a home mortgage loan with XXXX Mortgage. In the process I was informed that I have a collection balance of amount {$140.00} reported on my credit. Firstly I am not sure where it came from and for the past three months I was working with my mortgage officer to figure out what it is and how to resolve it. I had a lot of hospital bills and I used to clear it off as and when required. I remember paying all of my bills around XX/XX/XXXX. Not sure about this debt and I need more information on the same. I tried to contact the collections company several times but no luck. I sent them mails twice ( on XX/XX/XXXX - First class mail and on XX/XX/XXXX- Priority mail the second time ). There is no response yet. I feel that I have been patient enough in waiting for a response after multiple attempts. I am helpless now and not sure what to do. My credit score is down for no reason and I am in a situation to pay more monthly mortgage which is totally unfair. From what I have researched so far, to the best of my knowledge I think this is a UDAAP violation. Looking for support.
