State: TN
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I sent my letter off on XX/XX/XXXX. I told the credit bureaus to " investigate every piece of information '' on the accounts I have listed below. 


According to the FRCA The term " investigative consumer report '' means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer 's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he/she is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning such items of information. 

They stated my accounts were verified but how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law. Also, every piece of information on these accounts are still not reporting 100 % accurate. According to the FRCA 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % accurate. I have the credit report showing the inaccuracies. 

Accounts, Account Number XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( The dates do not match on this one and are invalid. Furthermore the XXXX date is well past time to fall off. ) Possible, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( this account has two different names and two different account numbers therefore it is incorrect and a validation discrepancy. ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I 've called and sent a letter to TransUnion about inaccurate inquiries on my credit report. Every time I call, I 'm told they will be on my report for two years and that any company can put an inquiry on my credit report. I then informed them that I 'm aware that you should n't be able to put an inquiry on my file without me authorizing it. The FCRA states that the only permissible purpose for pulling someone 's credit is for ; A firm offer of credit, insurance, employment and or court ordered. I 've received a letter today stating the inquiries will remain on my credit report for two years. I did not authorize these inquiries as to why I 'm disputing them.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: DC
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018 I received an e-letter from Nelnet regarding my income-driven repayment plan. The letter had relevant typos and incomplete/inaccurate information -- namely, the amount in which my monthly payments would be, the date they would begin at that level, and the date on which any interest would be capitalized into the principal. 

I called the customer service line on XX/XX/2018 to find out the information above. The agent read through the letter with me and said " I think what they mean is X. '' This explanation did not make sense to me and still didn't give me the information I was asking for. Regarding the date of capitalization, the agent put me on hold to ask someone else and said neither of them knew the date it would happen. 

I responded by saying those answers weren't helpful and she said " we work for the government, this is from them. '' I said, " the federal government wrote this letter? '' she said, " no, but this is coming from the Department of Education, that's just how they operate. '' It is not helpful whatsoever to 1 ) not be able to obtain the dates necessary to make payments on my loans or 2 ) hear the servicer blame " the government '' for their own mistakes or lack of competency.

Complaint:
I am writing regarding a bill that I received from a debt collection agency for {$290.00}. The bill pertains to a security system service that I received from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. However, I am bringing to your attention that I had notified the company of my intention to cancel the service in XX/XX/2023. 
In XX/XX/2023, I contacted XXXX and was informed by their representative to take down the security equipment. The representative also told me that our service was disconnected. After giving notice of our intention to cancel service in XXXX, the representative never emailed us a cancellation request. Despite this, we received a bill from XXXX a month later for the security system service. We contacted XXXX again in XX/XX/2023 and were told we were still connected and needed to pay. In XX/XX/2023, XXXX finally sent an email to complete a cancellation request after requesting to cancel service for months. We sent the cancellation request via emailed to XXXX  the same day, and the representative confirmed they received the request. 
As you can see, we took all necessary steps to cancel the service, and we are unsure why we we being charged for a service we no longer have. It's my understanding the phone calls with XXXX customer service were recorded for quality assurance. We would appreciate it if you could investigate this matter and let us know the outcome as soon as possible. 
Thank you for your time and attention.

Company: TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
State: MA
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Vehicle lease
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX I called Toyota Financial Services in order to defer my lease payment for that month as I had done in the last 6 years. When the payment was not processed correct, there was back and forth phone conversations which I initiated, and Toyota assured me things were being taken care of.After getting multiple answers from different people I faxed in the requested paperwork. I made my payment for XX/XX/XXXX as normal. Then, in XX/XX/XXXX I purchased a new vehicle from a XXXX dealership. The cashiers check was shipped on XX/XX/XXXX and the check arrived at Toyota 's payoff center on XX/XX/XXXX. The XXXX receipt shows the address as well as the name and signature of the person who accepted the payoff payment. It was n't until about a week later when Toyota Financial called my work extension to say that I was over thirty days late for my payment. This started a vicious cycle. Since XX/XX/XXXX, myself as well as my husband have called numerous times in order to get the issue taken care of. We have done everything requested by XXXX. Filed a massive amount of paper work, faxed over copies of the check, as well as who signed for the overnight delivery of the payoff for the car. We 've provided all the necessary information needed in order to handle this situation and there is still no avail. We 've been given the run around for over five months, and Toyota has since reported us late to all three credit agencies on two separate occasions. Each time I call in with a reference number or employee ID I can not be transferred to the same employee. Each time we call in, its a different story. Currently, my me and my husbands credit is being negatively impacted as Toyota still shows an outstanding balance, and says that we are over 60 days late. I have not owned the car in well over 6 week, the payoff amount was verified more then once. Toyota at one point told us that they were process the research for where the check was ; only to have someone else tell me they 're not even sure they have a check. I can not talk to the credit department, as they only give me an address to mail a letter in.There is no more that we can do in order to fix this situation. We need help.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I leased a XX/XX/XXXX diesel Volkswagen from XXXX Volkswagen dealership in XXXX, New Jersey. I chose the car because it was advertised as " clean diesel '' which turned out to be lie. In XX/XX/XXXX, the court approved Volkswagen terms to compensate the owners as well as those who are leasing. I decided to end my lease as per the agreement approved by the court. The car was returned to XXXX Volkswagen dealership on XX/XX/XXXX. My last payment was made on XX/XX/XXXX, which was for the month of XX/XX/XXXX. I also received a check from Volkswagen as per the court agreement to compensate early termination lessee. To my surprise, I continued to receive payment statement from Volkswagen. I reached out to them on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX who then transferred me to a representative by the name of XXXX. I informed both of them that my transaction was completed and gave provided the claim number that shows that I returned the car. On XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to the company again because I received a notice that threatened to report the late payment to credit bureaus. I explained to them this must be a joke because I made all necessary payments and the car was returned to them. The representative and the manager whose name is XXXX said they were going to look into it. Once again, I continued to receive payment statements and Notice of Default and right to Cure New Jersey. This is bullying tactics by a company who is attempting to victimize and defraud me twice. They are attempting to ruin my credit because I chose an early lease termination.

State: IL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Struggling to pay your bill
Sub-issue: Credit card company won't work with you while you're going through financial hardship

Complaint:
Past financial issues caused me to miss payments despite my best efforts to always be on time. I am wrote a goodwill letter see if BMO Harris Bank would be willing to make a goodwill adjustment to your reporting to the three credit agencies. 

During the time of service that I had with their company, I was unemployed for a year following being laid off from my job. In XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, my unemployment funds were depleted and by XXXX XXXX XXXX, I was being evicted from my apartment. I strived but failed to complete payments on time. 

I asked that they understand my financial obligations and that if it werent for my lack of funds, Id make an excellent repayment record. Ive had the misfortune of falling behind but I have been committed to cleaning up my mishaps and I believe these missed payments do not reflect my creditworthiness and commitment to repaying my debts. 

I kindly asked that the company would consider this and assist me in improving my current circumstances. Im planning to apply for an apartment to resolve my homelessness and its come to my attention that the collection on my credit report could hurt my ability to qualify. It would help immensely if you could give me a second chance and make a goodwill adjustment to remove the collection.
