Complaint:
In the past couple months this company allowed someone to use my credit without my permission. I received alert stating that I tried to apply for new credit, which is not true. I tried to dispute with all three bureaus and this company multiple time to resolve this matter about this inquiry. Each every time they stated that it was verified, not true. They cant provide with any voiceover, my Driver License or signature authorizing this inquiry. They are breaking the law and putting a hardship on me and my family with these negativity.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint:
To whom it may concern, I recently discovered XXXX unauthorized hard credit pulls on my credit reports. XXXX with XXXX and XXXX with Equifax. 

All XXXX requests were made with XXXX XXXX, where I have a longstanding financial relationship but I DID NOT seek credit or authorize a hard pull of my credit reports in these instances. After the credit bureaus summarily dismissed my disputes, I contacted XXXX XXXX, which says they have no record of my applying for credit on these dates. So now I am stuck with these hard inquiries that may or may not be the result of a fraudster using my personal information. 

I have initiated a credit alert to avoid further damage. It may be just an honest mistake at the bureaus, but my credit score is now hurt as a result of these unauthorized credit pulls. I need them removed. XXXX bureaus refuse to do so and will not provide any information as to how they deemed these inquiries to be legitimate.

Complaint:
I am having trouble understanding how my credit score is calculated. I've reached out before, but I was told that it fluctuates. Here is my issue : I've been working so hard at paying down my debt as I am looking for a new home. Today, I received a notification from XXXX XXXX that my Equifax credit score dropped. As of today, XX/XX/2020, my score is at XXXX, dropped 11 pts. When I select " see what changed '', here are the changes : Positives in Green : 1- Credit Limit increase on an account by {$450.00} 2- Balance decrease on credit  card by {$310.00} ; credit usage went from 105 % to 0 % 3- Balance decrease on credit card by {$420.00} ; credit usage went from 86 % to 0 % 4-Balance decrease on credit card by {$590.00} ; credit usage went from 96 % to 32 % 5-Balance decrease on loan by {$120.00} Negative in Red : 1- Balance increase on credit card of {$30.00} ; credit usage went from 69 % to 63 % Can you please explain why my credit score dropped instead of increased?

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: IL
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't temporarily delay making payments

Complaint:
I signed up for automatic payments from my XXXX account. But later I stopped using that account so I called in approximately in XX/XX/XXXX to tell Navient to use another account instead for my payments and to cease using the XXXX account. This company has taken money out of the wrong account several months from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX even after I repeatedly called and told them that that is no longer an account that I am using for loan payments. I have received 12 overdraft fees ( each fee is {$34.00} ) due to their failure to update my account info after I called them several times to request that it be done. They said that I have to specifically say that I want them to cancel any previous automatic payments when I call in. I believe this to be self-explanatory because if I call in to tell them to STOP deducting from that account and gave them new information, that is telling them to stop taking from an account that is not being used anymore. When I called to complain the ombudsman said they would refund my overdraft fees. However, later when the fees were not refunded I was told they would not be refunding the fees because it was not their fault. Now they have marked my credit late 30-60 days because I refuse to pay them until I have the refund. Further, I can not afford to pay the amount they are asking me to pay. They refuse to lower my payments to an affordable amount that I can pay and they will not refund the fees that they caused me plus they have ruined my credit.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: MI
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX I received notification from XXXX that my Income-Based Reduction payment plan was expiring. When I attempted in XX/XX/XXXX to re-apply I was denied an IBR plan and the reason stated was that I no longer qualified because the loan had to be paid off. I was told that I had 10 years to pay off the loan and that I'd actually been given 17 years - thus, I'd been " paying on the loan too long. '' The new monthly payment amount was set at over {$70.00} a month, which is on top of the {$250.00} a month payment that I make to XXXX for the bulk of my remaining student loan debt. On XX/XX/XXXX I again requested some repayment option that would reduce my monthly payment. I informed XXXX at that time that my spouse had become unemployed and I was unable to make the monthly payment of $ 70+ a month. Again I was told I had " no other options '' but to make that payment and pay off the loan in full. In the process of that call, I requested to be placed on a forebearance until my husband could reestablish employment. XXXX says ( on XX/XX/XXXX ) that the call was disconnected in the process ( I was told the forebearance was in place during that call before it became disconnected ). I received another letter the following month saying my loan was past due, so I called Nelnet again on XX/XX/XXXX to request a forebearance until my husband could reestablish employment and was granted two months - I was told my next payment due would be XX/XX/XXXX. I received a letter this week, dated XX/XX/XXXX, that stated that my loan was past due. Upon calling Nelnet today ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I learned that a wrong forebearance code had been placed on my account which allowed for a " reduced forebearance payment '' of {$71.00}. I called to dispute the fact that I had a forebearance, and also stated that I was told in XXXX that my forebearance could be retroactive to when I had initially requested it in XX/XX/XXXX. Today, I was told that no retroactive process could be put in place for the XXXX payment but could be applied to the XXXX payment. When trying to dispute reporting of late/past due payments the customer service representative informed me that they were unable to dispute EITHER month 's negative reporting to the credit bureaus. No reason was given. To date, Nelnet has refused to offer me reasonable repayment options for the loan, which they bought from another servicer XXXX years ago, and have now demanded payment must be completed on. My husband and I are unable to make that monthly loan payment in addition to the monthly loan payment that we make the other servicer of my student loans and the monthly payment we make for his student loans as well. Nelnet has given me no opportunities to rectify my account, and in the process, is responsible for damaging my credit due to their errors, which they will not correct.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2015 my Mom saw an ad in the newspaper. When I got home she told me about the ad in the newspaper about helping people buy a house or something like that. We decide to check it out so we go to the office. When we got there my mom explained the situation to him about getting a house & not having enough money to afford one etc. Then he said that we can make money from rental properties. He would put these properties in my name. He would find the properties himself, collect the rents from the tenants & pay the bills. He would do all the work. I just give him 2 paystubs and show up at settlement to sign the paperwork. He would give me the money to pay the mortgages every month. Things did not work out so I wanted to sell all the properties but he did not want to. Eventually I came to my boss about this situation and the guy who I was dealing with. My boss found out that this guy was an x-criminal. He was obtaining mortgages fraudulently using inncent victims. Operating Schemes. I believe in this situation he is doing the same thing. The companies involved are - Freedom Mortgage Loan numbers are XXXX & XXXX, XXXX XXXX Loan # XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX & XXXX. ) Loan # XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX.

Complaint:
Hi Santander CONSUMER USA/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/CFPB ; It's impossible that this account can ever be marked as investigated as accurate because it continues to report the same incorrect and multiple inaccuracies. See the letters i sent before attached. It's reporting incomplete, inaccurate, misleading, and multiple inaccuracies on my credit report and it's causing this account to illegally re-aged on my credit report. I also read several previous file lawsuit cases for this auto lender here ; for example where they were in infriction with the consumer laws and mistreating clients during the process. ( Case Anderson v. Santander Consumer USA et al FILED : JANUARY 3, 2017 2:17-CV-00012 ; Barber v. Santander Consumer USA , Inc . FILED : SEPTEMBER 20, 2017 2:17-CV-01227-CB ; Blakely et al v.

XXXX told me to contact my bank and tell them they ( XXXX  ) will still help me and refund it like they said they would because of Covid-19.  Citibank has NO record of this, refuses to help me, I can NOT dispute it because it was already ruled on, and Citibank states I need to contact XXXX and work it out with them and they have no power.
