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:
I called in late XX/XX/XXXX to ask the representative if there was a hardship program where I could defer some payments or lower my monthly payments. I was told no by a young lady. A few weeks later, XX/XX/XXXX, I missed my monthly payment for {$350.00} due to financial hardship and inability to pay. A few days later, a young man from the company called and told me that there is a program for financial hardship and the lowest payment is {$150.00} per month. At the time, I did not think I could commit to pay that amount so I declined to set up a payment plan. He said I could call back if I changed my mind. I did call back a few days later and spoke to a young woman and who helped me set up a payment plan for {$150.00} per month to begin with an initial payment on XX/XX/2019. I received email confirmation of this payment plan with the terms and payment dates beginning XX/XX/XXXX. Every day since then, Ive received 3-5 calls per day from the representatives in debt collection telling me that I owe {$150.00} per month beginning XX/XX/XXXX. Im unable to do that and it is not what I agreed to. The representative I spoke to on XX/XX/XXXX, a young man, told me that my payment plan would be cancelled if I did not pay by XX/XX/XXXX. I refused to pay because that was not what I agreed to and he refused to let me send him the email confirmation to show him proof that I did schedule it for first payment on XX/XX/XXXX. That was yesterday. They have already called me 5 times, 3 of those being today between the hours of XXXXam- XXXXam. This to me is harassment! They are also calling from a blocked number. I am annoyed and fed up with their unfair practices and it does not seem right that they set up terms of payment plan that they now deny! Please help.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
Im submitting this complaint against XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX due to their total disregard for my consumer rights under the FCRA/FCBA/FDCPA. For several months now, I've been disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information showing up on my credit report by this company. I have requested intimate information about the alleged accounts, including a copy of an agreement with my signature on it, but I have yet to receive anything. These companies continue to electronically verify these " ghost '' accounts without providing any legally binding evidence, such as a signed contract and complete accounting of the record, as required by law. They're clearly lying and thus the reason Im asking for proof. However, these companies refuse to provide it, which is not right and is not compliant with the FCRA/FDCPA. Im absolutely fed up. My life has been in complete ruin as a result of this. It's causing enormous mental and financial distress, preventing me from getting approved from credit that I am rightfully entitled to, and not to mention the ample amount of time that I must take out to try and resolve this matter myself. This has brought a great deal of harm to my family as a whole as well. Ive just had enough! Please help! I hope to hear from you soon.

Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: KY
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I have not heard back from LexisNexis regarding a credit report dispute, and it has now been 60 days. I opened a dispute with LexisNexis on XX/XX/2018. The case number that I have refers to this date in the number. I have phoned LexisNexis 3 times in the past month, each time speaking to someone who tells me that the dispute is still in process and that perhaps staff made an error on the date. I have been told twice over the phone that the dispute has been escalated due to LexisNexis error on the date of filing the dispute. One representative ( XXXX ) told me that when I called the first time to check on it after 30 days, the date was changed to that date, XX/XX/2018. 

About the dispute itself : LexisNexis is reporting incorrect information to XXXX on my personal credit report regarding a bankruptcy. An update that appears in court records is not reflected on the record included on the XXXX report. XXXX has verified that it received the information from LexisNexis. 

The bankruptcy case was a discharged Chapter XXXX, not a Chapter XXXX as reported. I disputed the Chapter number of the bankruptcy that was reported.1 ) I am requesting a correction to the Chapter number 2 ) As it has been 7 years since filing, I am requesting this bankruptcy be removed from reporting by LexisNexis .

I am attaching the XXXX dispute, and two US Bankruptcy court documents.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CO
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Keep getting calls about your loan

Complaint:
I began receiving nonstop calls to collect money for both of my Navient and XXXX XXXX loans my Sophomore year of college, XX/XX/XXXX, once to twice a day every day. At first, I would let them know that I was still in school and could not repay as of right now. They continued my entire school career and continued after graduation XX/XX/XXXX. They did not stop calling even while I was making payments to my private loan interest during school. At one point, they sent a collection agency after me my senior year in XX/XX/XXXX. They began calling me from different numbers to try to fool me - I have voicemail records for the past two years of the different numbers. They started calling me during class and almost twice a day, it got so bad that I had to block every number I knew they were attached to. Also, Navient and XXXX XXXX began calling my mom - who is not a cosigner or even listed on any of my loan paperwork.
They did not stop calling me on random numbers until after I began an automatic payment plan of $ XXXX/monthXX/XX/XXXX. And it is possible that they are still calling but can not get through because I have blocked them. At first, I thought it was going to be great to have it taken out automatically - but then it became that the $ XXXX/month does not make a single dent in my private loan. I have it set that my repayment is supposed to be split between loan and interest ( half and half ), but it is currently only covering my monthly interest and of course, the private loan continues to increase because of the interest that I am so called paying off.
I have talked to multiple Navient customer service operators about how to allocate the funds differently and have tried to explain my situation - the operators did not help me and are extremely rude. They simply " explain '' why I must pay at least {$330.00} and suggest that I should pay more to get ahead of my interest. The payment to my actual loan never exceeds $ XXXX/month and the rest is applied to interest. And as of right now, the amount allocated to my actual loan is decreasing while the amount allocated to my interest is increasing.
In the attached files - every number that is from XXXX XXXX, TX, XXXX, PA, or Unknown is from XXXX XXXX and Navient. ( Unfortunately, I broke my phone before I graduated and lost my screenshots of the previous calls - but I can always request phone records from my carrier if more evidence is necessary ).

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
I tried freezing my credit report today XX/XX/XXXX. 
Online the company asked for my personal information - my full social security number, my address, my date of birth. After receiving all my information the website said it could n't freeze my credit. It asked me to resubmit all the information I had already given in writing and mail it to an address provided by the company. 

I tried calling the company on the customer service line through their automated system and was told they could not freeze my credit the automatic service then hung up without giving me an option to speak to any customer service agents. 

Considering the security risk the company has exposed us to they are making the situation worse by making it difficult for customers to protect themselves. 
Thanks

Company: I.Q. DATA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
State: VA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Complaint:
I was called by IQ Data International In in XXXX WA on my cell phone in XX/XX/XXXX. I was told I owed {$74.00} for some debt from an apartment I had rented and vacated in XX/XX/XXXX. I asked why it was so late in the game I was being notified. I was only told the debt went to collection. I have never received any kind of notice in writing nor anything to show what I am being charged for. I had emails from the rental property after I left to confirm they received my keys in the drop box, and nothing more was said about owing any additional money. In fact I paid additional rent for 3 months because I did not renew or extend my lease. Now during the same month this debt was put on my credit record and will potentially harm my employment and security clearance. When I spoke to these people they mentioned a carpet cleaning which I then informed them I had paid to have it done when I moved in, and when I left, 3 people who helped me move witnessed the condition of the apartment and carpet which did not need cleaning. Also the management never informed me of any cleaning charges which normally are incurred when there is damage, etc. which there was none. I am very upset that there was NO written notice, NO advance notice, nor ANY written description and or bills, statements of charges the collection company is seeking almost a year after I have left the state and the area. I do not pay debts to unknown parties over the phone. This company took the liberty to state I owed money without anything in writing then slapped it on my credit report without any response or opportunity on my part to dispute or know just what I 'm being charged for with sufficient documentation and evidence.

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem making or receiving payments

Complaint:
I am scheduled for closing on a new home on XX/XX/2021. On XX/XX/2021, XXXX setup a wire transfer from my Citi Bank savings account for a significant amount for the closing. I was called by Citi Bank to verify my transaction. One of the questions asked was what year my stepmother was born. I have not lived with her for 20 years, and my dad hasn't even been married to her for over 10 years. I had to call my dad to get the answer. 

Citi Bank failed me for the verification process for taking too long to answer. They refused to give me another opportunity or way to verify myself and they flagged my account for fraud. The account is now " under review '' and there is nothing whatsoever that I can do to get the funds. Citi Bank refuses to let me speak to anyone that can help, and just tells me I have to wait for them to clear it and there is nothing whatsoever I can do. I can not even go into a branch and get a cashier 's check because ( a ) there is no branch location or affiliated bank in my state of Colorado and ( b ) they say that even if I do FLY into a state where there is a branch location, that I can not get the cashier 's check because there is a hold on my account. 

Citi Bank is literally holding MY money hostage. This is MY MONEY and I am willing and able to do whatever to verify myself. They refuse to talk to me and help me. I need help immediately.
