This loan was over thirty years ago. I knew nothing about this loan until I received a letter from XXXX after my chapter XXXX was discharged in XXXX of XXXX. At that time I contacted my XXXX XXXX pre-pay legal service for assistance. They helped me prepare letters and requested a copy of the promissory note. XXXX sent me forms that I had to have notorized stating I would fully cooperate with the investigation. The forms were returned to XXXX on more than one occasion because they kept saying they did not receive them. 

Now they have turned collections over to a company called Performant who stated that have none of the information I send to XXXX. I sent a certified letter to Perfomant once again, We still do not have a promissory note or any proof of debt and XXXX are saying they are taking my social Security check for a debt that I do not owe. When me and my legal shield attorney called Performant, they said they have a promissory note but it is not legible. 
I have done everything they have asked for yet they are taking my social security check starting in XXXX XXXX.They are violating the Fair debt collection practices act. And taking my ssi will put a tremendous strain on my household. Please help!

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX XXXX, I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, 
inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was computergenerated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your 
opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a 
stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I 
believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
I further remind you that, as in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX; you may be liable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) by

discharged accounts.
I have requested that all NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS provide proof 
of alleged items. I request to be provided with specifically the original application, contract, note, or 
another instrument bearing my signature.
In addition, any the contract signed between NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT 
COLLECTORS & the original creditor, notarized and sworn under penalty and perjury NON CREDITORS, 
COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS ability to collect this alleged debt.
I request this under 15 U.S. Code  1692g - Validation of debts. If information is not provided or the 
false reporting isnt removed; as in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only

Complaint:
This is a formal complaint against Experian located in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, TX XXXX company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and has caused me much unnecessary financial AND mental distress. For starters, they're reporting an erroneous & unverifiable account on my credit report and not to mention an account in which I've asked for proof of claim and in which they have not been able to provide, per the FCRA. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare for several months now, Experian has completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. I am well aware of the many, many other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical business. Yet, somehow, this company is still in business. This company 's unprofessional & negligent behavior has caused lots of serious harm, not only to my ability to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a Professional and as an individual. Please help me, and the many other consumers just like me, to put a stop to the operation of these unethical & immoral business practices immediately. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon.
