Complaint:
I've been trying to get help with this account for a while. I was sending letters since XXXX to no avail. This car is listed on my credit report as a repossession and with a balance of {$11000.00} and this is inaccurate. After repossession this car was sold. I've reached out to XXXX XXXX asking them to verify this information and to stop reporting this inaccurate information since the car was sold but I haven't received a response. Equifax said they investigated this account but still, it's reporting inaccurately. I'm not sure what else to do as this information being reported is making my credit suffer.

Complaint:
Creditor was advised of personal difficulties regarding reduced employment and lack of financial ability to satisfy debt due to COVID-19. Creditor indicated account deferral was available and - notwithstanding said deferral - subsequently reported account delinquent to the credit reporting agencies ruining an otherwise perfect credit history. Creditor should investigate and correct account history consistent with protections available for those negatively impacted by COVID-19.

Complaint:
I am writing to express my deep frustration and dissatisfaction with the repeated unsuccessful attempts I have made to correct the inaccuracies on my credit report. Specifically, I have encountered significant difficulties in resolving the issue of late open accounts and the removal of a late closed account from my credit history. 

Here is a summary of the unsuccessful attempts and the issues I am facing : I discovered that there were late open accounts listed on my credit report that inaccurately reflected my financial history. These accounts have been incorrectly reported, causing a negative impact on my credit score. 

Subsequently, I initiated disputes with your organization regarding the late open accounts by following the dispute resolution process outlined on your website. I submitted supporting documentation and requested that these inaccuracies be corrected. However, my initial disputes were not resolved in my favor. 

Frustrated by the lack of resolution, I made several follow-up attempts to dispute and correct these late open accounts. I provided additional evidence and communicated with your customer support, hoping to rectify this situation. 
In addition to the late open accounts, I have also encountered issues with a late closed account listed on my credit report. This account should have been reported as " closed on time, '' but it has inaccurately been marked as " late closed, '' which is affecting my creditworthiness. 
Despite my continuous efforts to correct these inaccuracies and provide evidence to support my claims, I have not received a satisfactory resolution from your organization. The late open accounts and the late closed account are adversely affecting my creditworthiness and financial opportunities. 

I demand immediate action to correct these inaccuracies on my credit report, including the removal of the late closed account and the rectification of the late open accounts to accurately reflect my financial history. I also request written confirmation once these corrections have been made. 

Failure to address this matter promptly undermines the integrity of my credit history and financial stability. It is crucial that you take this matter seriously and resolve it as soon as possible. I am asking for your help to correct or remove the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$0.00} - Evaluate this reporting by revising the information provided. Modify and perform any corrections or update this from my file. 

XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$130.00} - I do not believe I was late on this account you are reporting. Please report the payment status positive and update all late from reporting on this account.

Complaint:
Comenity Bank has used unfair and confusing practices with a credit card. I applied for an account with Wayfair online around the XX/XX/2020. The same day I made a purchase online, but waited to receive the credit card in the mail. It took a while ( I received a bill in late XXXX or early XXXX ) to receive any correspondence via email or in the mail. I received my product on XX/XX/XXXX. About a week later I attempted to go online to make a payment. It has been very difficult to communicate with their office about payment. The Comenity Bank website for the Wayfair card was not working properly. When I was finally able to get to the login for payment page, it still did not work properly. I was not sure which number to use to call them. It took a few days to engage online, but when I was able to get to a page to log in, it required the account number, which I did not have, to login. Then I received a letter that stated the account would close in 10 days. Wayfair switched from Comenity Bank to a different bank for credit card services and as a result reported to credit bureaus that the account was closed ( a negative impact on my credit ). I waited for the bill in the mail. But that the bill I received did not have a full account number listed. I called the number on the statement and was able to make a payment but I noticed that they charged me a late fee. I expressed how difficult it was to figure out how to make a payment online. Eventually, I asked about having the fee waived due to the difficulties of going online and paying as well as no account number appearing on the bill and they told me since the account was closed there was no way to reverse the fee. I asked how are they able to charge a fee but not reverse it? They had no explanation nor did the agent seem to care. He went on to explain to me if I paid it on time there would be no fee. I reminded him about WHY payment on time was an issue and that was the reason for my request. Eventually I asked to speak with a manager. When the manager got on the line, I asked why they were charging a fee on an account they closed. She asked which account, I told her Wayfair and she said, we do not service Wayfair accounts, XXXX does. While I was explaining to her I was a new customer when the switch occurred the line dropped. It was hard to tell if it was on purpose or accident because it dropped right when she finished her sentence and I began to speak. I called back and was on hold for 3 min and the call dropped again. 

This bank should not be allowed to offer services to the public if they are not able to properly handle accounts in a situation like this.

Complaint:
Equifax ; XXXX and XXXX should not be reporting each inquiry listed as a separate line item on my credit report. ( Please see page attached for reference. ) These multiple inquiries are well within the 45 plus day shopping window that is typically allowed to check different lenders and find the best loans. Each of these inquiries are of like kind. They are not separate, individual entities. These inquiries should not have negatively impacted my credit score. Please remove these inquiries from my report. This reporting of multiple inquiries is seriously harming my credit score and these line items need to be removed. It is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to not report accurate information on my credit report. I have contacted the bureaus to fix this however, I have not been successful.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: KS
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
I signed up for Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) in XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX XXXX became my new student loan servicer. In XX/XX/XXXX, when it came time for my annual recertification, my monthly loan amount jumped up from {$120.00} per month it had been for the prior 12 months to {$620.00} per month. I called to ask why the amount had increased so precipitously. XXXX XXXX told me that the total income from my XXXX taxes had increased because as a newly-married person I had filed jointly for the first time with my spouse. It did not matter to XXXX XXXX that my spouse also had similar student loans to repay. I informed them that I would be unable to sustainably pay a monthly amount of {$620.00} and asked for a smaller monthly payment. I was told to submit an application for the Revised Pay As You Earn ( REPAYE ) Income-Driven Repayment ( IDR ) plan. The entire process to achieve this new REPAYE payment plan took six months, calls from me to XXXX on at least a monthly basis to ask and plead for them to complete the recalculation and to place myself on forebearance time and time again because each month prior to my monthly due date I would receive automated letters into my XXXX account saying that I was required to pay between {$1500.00} and {$1500.00}. Had XXXX XXXX acted accountably and quickly on my request to change payment plans due to having too high a monthly payment, I would not have had to request continual forebearance on a monthly repayment requirement that rose to over 11 times what I had been accustomed to paying affordably. It was only in XX/XX/XXXX that my request to move to a REPAYE payment plan was approved, with the first monthly payment coming in XX/XX/XXXX of {$370.00}, an amount over twice as high as the {$120.00} that I had been paying in the previous certified year. 

I thought this issue had been resolved until I read the XX/XX/XXXX XXXX article " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. '' I recalled the difficulties I had faced for six months in XXXX trying to obtain a new payment plan and decided to log in to my XXXX XXXX  account to check in further detail what had happened with my loans. I discovered that in that time period, I had suffered an increase in the principal amount of my loans from {$85000.00} in the year in which I paid {$120.00} per month to {$98000.00} by XX/XX/XXXX, due to Interest Capitalization. This frustrates me because the only reason my interest was capitalized during this time frame was because I was waiting on XXXX XXXX  to lower my monthly payment to the REPAYE plan and having to request a monthly forebearance due to the punishing amounts of over {$1500.00} per month that they were requesting in the interim.

Complaint:
After the equifax breach there were a lot of fake charges and I was able to get all but one expunged. This fake {$170.00} " IC Systems Collections # XXXX " original creditor XXXX XXXX '' is not valid as I have used XXXX for many years and haven't used " XXXX XXXX '' for about 8 or 9 years and when I had it they directly deducted their payment from my credit card with no issues. So this is FAKE FAKE FAKE and I can not get XXXX to understand this-there is no intelligent human life there to work with and I am up to hiring an attorney for {$5000.00} down just to fight to get my credit report to be accurate with XXXX. I pay ALL my bills including credit card 100 % each month, no balance EVER, and I just paid my second mortgage balance IN FULL so it isn'r about money, IT IS ABOUT HONOR AND HONESTY!!! 

Thank you for helping me.

Complaint:
Amex offered a XXXX dollar credit if buying XXXX XXXX XXXX, which i did buy. I never got my credit so I inquired with AMEX via online chat. 3 reps have told me that I was wrong and that the discount was applied upon purchase which was incorrect, nothing was mentioned of a discount and I never received one up on purchase or a credit to the account ( which is how they always have worked before ) I had to inquire with 3 reps that all denied the claim. I was then mad about having spent so much time getting a promotion that should have applied automatically to which the customer care team didn't seem to care about. I asked for inconvenience credits since i spent over an hour disputing, taking away from my job. The reps said they can't issue any credit. to which I said " of course you can '' they tried to say they couldn't until they finally gave me 10. I just do not like AMEX customer care, they are ruthless and out to get you! This is horribly unethical and I did not appreciate the poor service.
