State: AL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax provided a XXXX XXXX XXXX score of XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. ( Order XXXX ) The factors adversely affecting my score included : 08 Too many inquiries in the last 12 months and 11 Amount owed on revolving accounts is too high. 

Both these factors have been used by Equifax for the past three years and CFPB complaints filed. Multiple disputes have been filed with Equifax and each time Equifax has declined to change the information ( score or factors. ) However, there have been less than three hard credit reports in any 12 month period and since XX/XX/XXXX, I have had zero revolving credit accounts with any monthly balance. Of the two credit cards used, both are paid in full monthly, usually prior to receiving a statement. 

Equifax has consistently provided the same inaccurate adverse factors for more than two years and has repeatedly failed to make any corrections.

Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC
State: AZ
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Impersonated attorney, law enforcement, or government official

Complaint:
This company ( Portfolio Recovery Assoc ) which I hold No Contract with nor have received services from is a 3rd party agency who has no right to collect anything from the alleged debtor since there is no way they can prove they were on any original contract. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX. You have no right to subrogate ( substitute ) yourself into a contract. Whether it be by purchase, assignment, transfer, or trade. If you bought the debt you did it on your own behalf. Not at the request of any alleged debtor, and therefore are a stranger to the transaction ( voluntary payee ). Reporting of this debt is a violation of the FCRA and the FDCPA.

Ive conducted some research on this company and in the state of Arizona this company is not Licensed, Bonded, and does not have a Certificate of Authority to collect in the state of Arizona. This is against the state and federal laws. According to the FDCPA : Under the Act, a debt collector communicating with persons other than the consumer for the purpose of acquiring location information about the consumer shall not : use any language or symbol on any envelope or in the contents of any communication effected by the mails or telegram that indicates that the debt collector is in the debt collection business or that the communication relates to the collection of a debt ; 28. The Arizona Department of Financial Institutions ( AZDFI ) is statutorily charged with the licensing, supervision and regulation of state-chartered financial institutions and enterprises.

They are in Breach of Contract by violating the Arbitration Clause. Once a company charges off the account and sends it to a collection company they are in breach of their own contract. This is against the FCRA.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
I filed four separate rounds of dispute letters to each of the three Credit Reporting Agencies ( XXXX, Experian, and XXXX   ) on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX. Requesting that the Bankruptcy being reported on my Consumer Credit Report, and all associated accounts with this bankruptcy be removed since this information has not been verified. Per the FCRA all information reported on a consumer 's credit report must be verified as accurate and correct.

I sent in four separate dispute letters to each of the three Credit Reporting Agencies and was told on four separate occasions, by each agency that the information was verified as belonging to me. However, there was no supporting evidence sent to me to show that an investigation was ever done. 

Per the FCRA, all information entered into a consumer 's credit report must be verified with the original party involved, and can not be verified by a third party. I have a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX from the Clerk of Court, U.S. Courthouse stating that their office does not disclose bankruptcy information to Credit Reporting Agencies, or third parties.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due

Complaint:
I had a Bank of America BANKAMERICARD where I had a $XXXX   minimum payment due each month that I had set to be automatically paid from my bank account each month. I had this set up by a banker when I received the card. Upon moving to my new house, my billing information and address changed which messed up my automatic billing and all communication with the bank via mail. I do all of my communication with the bank through the mail and this is how I check the amount of money that is due on my card and if my payments had successfully gone through.  Therefore, relocating to a new address caused my automatic payment to fail which caused me to be delinquent on my BANKAMERICARD account for the months of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/2018. Not knowing that my automatic payment was messed up caused this issue and it was compounded when my address change caused the mail that the bank was sending me to go to my old address. This cut off all communication with me and the bank and I was unaware that I was missing a payment until an associate at Bank of America called me on XX/XX/2018 to let me know that the account was delinquent. I then immediately made the payment that I was owed to the bank.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: PA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
My complaint is about Navient. I have loans with them with two co-signers. I took out loans to attend college but I left college to go to XXXX  school. My loans became due almost immediately after leaving XXXX XXXX. While in XXXX  school I was not working and I was told that my Navient loan could go into deferment, however I was receiving calls about making payments to which I always responded that I am supposed to be in deferment. Upon completing XXXX   school I could not sit for licensing because I could not pay the school loan and of course this became a horrible cycle. I could not get a job because I had no license and I could not get the license without paying back the school. In the mean time I let Navient know I had no income and was told I needed to do forbearance because my deferment option was exhausted. I had to pay {$150.00} to file a forbearance that lasted a month. Each time the loan came due and I wanted to file a forbearance I had to pay {$150.00}, which I had to borrow from family or friends. I was not given the option of an income-based repayment, which I found out later should have been an option. I was not offered an economic hardship deferment. There was no discussion about how to lower my payments Then in XXXX I asked specifically for a payment program that I could meet. The person I spoke to said I could send {$20.00} per month to avoid default. I sent {$20.00} per month for nearly a year before receiving a call from Navient stating that what I am paying is doing nothing for my account and I needed to pay more, which I could not afford as I was still not working. She said I might as well not send anything. Then I found out that I was actually kicked out of this payment program and my loan was in default. Navient began calling and sending letters and harassed my ailing grandmother who is almost XXXX years old.  She is a co-signer from XXXX but now on a fixed income and sickly. She was so fearful it made her sicker but Navient would not help me to release her from my loan so that she would not be harassed. As stated above, in the end my loan went into default and then I started receiving bills from XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX with what appears to be inflated amounts of each loan. At this time I am still trying to pay back XXXX XXXX XXXX to sit for licensing so that I can get a job.

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:
I am appalled by the ability of Transunion to ignore a consumer 's requests to investigate and correct the information being reported on my Credit report despite the countless dispute letters and CFPB Complaints I have been sending. I have read enough to understand my rights which is clearly being violated by the Credit reporting agencies. Transunion must validate these accounts in line with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). It is not authorized to fail to validate these reporting accounts as unverified information without providing any proof within the period allowed by law. The following accounts need to investigate and correct from erroneous reporting in my file are listed on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

State: VA
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: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
I've sent several letters to Equifax & XXXX regarding a Bankruptcy that's showing on my credit report. I've asked them to provide me with proof on how they did their investigation and how they came up with verified results. On my credit report they state that "public record items Equifax obtained from the local, state, and federal courts through a third party vendor, XXXX. I don't see how they can have anything on my credit report from a "third party". Also, I recently received a response from Equifax dated XX/XX/XXXX stating they once again verified a Bankruptcy after I sent them another letter on XX/XX/XXXX. ALL of this seems that they are committing fraud by giving false information. I say this because, 1. I contacted the United States Bankruptcy Court and received a letter stating that they DO NOT report any information to any credit bureau. 2. I've had a freeze on my XXXX account since XX/XX/XXXX. SO HOW is it that Equifax and XXXX said they verified this information with XXXX since after XX/XX/XXXX??? I find that the lies and these practices are illegal and I'm suffering from the credit bureaus not following the law.

Complaint:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint being filed by a third party, I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. 
We've talked to the bank & they've agreed to remove the account. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not block the account because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the Identity Theft report they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the Identity Theft report ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy...
