Complaint:
I started asking for reinvestigation on accounts in XX/XX/XXXX and I received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX that XXXX of the accounts that I told was not my accounts was deleted. I spoke with a consumer law professor and he told me to send it again and i did but nothing changed. I have been reporting these same accounts since XXXX and it is now XX/XX/XXXX and they are still reporting the accounts. I also filed an identity theft report with the FTC and also sent the XXXX a signed FTC report which was notarized and mailed first class mail, certified return receipt. The company then sent me a letter saying that I need a police report but XXXX XXXX ( A ) states provide FTC Identity XXXX Report, Identification, and confirmation from the consumer that said accounts resulted from identity theft and that one doesn't assume or accept responsibility. So now it's clear that they are continuously violating my consumer rights. In XXXX they sent a letter that said that they would not reinvestigate the alleged accounts again for me after they still have not sent me a copy of the information used to verify me The Consumer, natural breathing person, and Original Creditor. That alone makes no sense, being that they need to talk to me to verify any credit that I granted as the Original Credit. They are not abiding by the laws that are hear to protect me, the consumer

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I took out a loan with Navient in XX/XX/2013 to attend XXXX University in XXXX, IL. My parents took it out for me to help my credit score for future events in my life. The loan was only for around {$2500.00} I believe. My parents then paid off the full amount immediately after for around {$2700.00}, whatever was quoted to them. Then just a few months ago, after 5 years of hearing nothing, thinking it was long in the past, I get a report from the credit bureau that my account with Navient was delinquent, 120 days past due and that I owed XXXX dollars in interest ... I had no clue of this for the last 5 years. 

There is no way I would leave XXXX dollars left on my loan like that. ( Apparently it had grown to XXXX from late fees ) My parents paying the {$2700.00} was an attempt to pay them off. Thats what they were quoted and paid. I feel cheated by them. And now since then I have looked into it and thats what they have done to thousands and thousands of people. Ive tried to call them and get this figured out and its impossible to get through to anyone and when you finally do its pointless. The wanted me to get online into my account to get all the information there. But I realized thats a trick of theirs as well. In the fine print you agree to things that Im sure help them get by with it. Like you agree that everything we provide is accurate and true. I didnt feel comfortable with that obviously. So I told them on the phone I wanted a copy sent to my email of the payment history and balance history. So after 24 hours I get the email and once again it says, log in to your account to view your documents you asked for. I am not going to fall for their tricks. I just want a fair report and honesty. 

Im currently in the middle of trying to refinance my home, my credit score was XXXX and it was going to drop my payments roughly 200 dollars. Now I cant. It got dropped 90 points. All of this has cost me so much time and money that I will never get back.

Complaint:
On several occasions starting in XX/XX/2018, after settling accounts with several companies, I requested thru certified mailing via U.S. Postal Service that Exquifax, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXXdelete negative or derogatory remarks and account status on these specific accounts because per Federal codes Sec. 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ; Sec. 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ; and Sec. 611 ( 50 ( A ) " ... promptly DELETE ALL information which can not be verified ''. Several requests for XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX to validate and/or verify its alleged debt against claimant, which ALL companies failed to do so. Thus, since they have ALL been properly and legally compensated for any debts alleged against claimant on more than one occasion, ALL derogatory and/or negative remarks or statuses regarding previous accounts with claimant MUST per federal law be deleted immediately by ALL credit reporting agencies. Exquifax, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX refuse to delete the negative remarks and account statuses which are hurting the claimant and preventing him from the pursuit of peace, happiness, and stablility for him and his family.

Complaint:
2013 XXXX insurance paid off the total damaged vehicle. A representative called and said I had a balance that the insurance did not cover, she began to say if I don't pay It, then it would be reported on my credit as a repo, and damage my credit. I told her I shouldn't have to pay when the insurance paid the vehicle off. So with her saying they will report to my credit I said I can make payments. The company never sent me nothing in the mail of a balance or payments made. I explained to her I need something in writing before I can continue to send my money, as promised I didn't get it. So I looked on credit karma and behold its on my report of {$1300.00} showing charged off, bad debt, repo. I disputed then the balance change with payments made here and there up until this year which is a lie. I never heard from this people or received any documentations. I stopped sending my money after seeing the bad reporting on my credit with XXXX  and XXXX. I continue to dispute and still negative reporting. This is not fair to the consumer. This company has lied and reported false information on my credit report, and it should be deleted. Very fraudulent!

Complaint:
I filed a complaint # XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX on Comenity Bank for not removing an account off of my credit report which they agreed upon by cashing the money order that was enclosed. The letter stated that upon cashing the money order, they agreed to settle the account and also remove the XXXX account off of the credit report. The money order was cashed on XX/XX/XXXX. They claim they never received the letter that accompanied the money order, but they cashed it. Their response through CFPB, the letter that I received, stated that they will not remove the account from the credit report, even though they accepted the terms and conditions by cashing the money order. They also stated in this response letter that all settlements were to be sent to a different address, XXXX XXXX XXXX which the representative did not state. The original letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, they sent me stated that after I spoke to Recovery Department, to send payment to XXXX. XXXX XXXX which I did. They violated the terms that I sent them and are trying to keep from removing the account from my credit report even thought they received the settled amount. Also, the second money order they stated they received had the correct account number on it, which was to a XXXX account. The letter for the XXXX account had the wrong account number ( the XXXX account number ) but the money order had the correct account number. That dollar amount was supposed to be credited to the XXXX account. They have violated the terms agreed upon.
