Company: Advance America, Cash Advance Centers, Inc.
State: OH
Product: Payday loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest I didn't expect

Complaint:
I was issued a payday loan with Advance America, of {$1000.00} with the APR of 137.37 % and a Finance Charge of {$130.00}. I have had a loan with AA off and on since XX/XX/XXXX. For the past few months when I would re-loan, I would inquire if there was any arrangements that I could make with them due to my being financially incapable of continuing the payday nightmare, I was reassured each time that nothing was available and the only option I had was to just pay the loan as agreed. During XX/XX/XXXX, when paying at the time XXXX or XXXX payday loans became utterly impossible, I begin to read the customer agreement statements to investigate if I could find other lawful options that would assist me in paying the overwhelming debt. I noticed that Advance America was licensed under the " Small Loan Act '' which meant that under the SLA in Ohio a Customer is only allotted a max of {$500.00} ( according to research information ), however, my loan was for over {$1000.00} and/or a customer could not be charged over XXXX % of their income, in which both of these laws were not being enforced, if in fact this was true. I attempted to pay this loan in full, however, financial difficulties made it impossible. At this point I have been working with a Government appointed Financial Coach from CFPB put in place to assist Military Veterans with Financial dilemmas, we are reviewing what my options are as of XX/XX/XXXX. My loan is in default and will remain as such until a reasonable solution is reached.

State: NY
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

Complaint:
TU for years has blocked access to the federally guaranteed free annual report unless you provide a phone number and email, conditions that are inconsistent with the law guaranteeing access. Now XXXX is doing the same, and the website that hosts the free reporting has a button to lodge complaints but they call them " comments '' and my repeated comments have resulted in no action. Everyone 's answer is " you can get your report by mail '' but the Fair Credit Reporting Act does NOT say consumers have a right to a report online IF they disclose phone numbers and email addresses and so there is no question that TU and XXXX are flagrantly violating the FCRA.

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:
I contacted Nelnet to update my address after moving. I was under the impression the I was still under a Hardship Deferment. However, I was not notified by Nelnet that my Hardship Deferment had ended. They advised that they attempted to reach out to me. The email address they indicated that they sent notifications to when reviewing the email they had a typo in the email address. I never received a phone call to notify that the Hardship Deferment had ended. Due to not being contacted my credit score dropped 146 pts.

I called and talked to multiple representatives at this organization and was advised that they would update backdate and address update my account showing that I was not actually 90 days past due. I was advised originally that they would be able to get this updated on my credit report. 

However after putting the dispute in, and refilling paperwork to get onto a new payment plan, I was advised that they would not be able to update my credit report due to " federal regulations ''. 

They recognized that they did have a data entry error, however they indicated since I did not fall under certain criteria they wouldn't be able to update my records. 

I submitted a dispute with XXXX regarding this informing them of the error, and I never got a response. I contacted Nelnet again, now I am on a {$0.00} payment plan for 12Months, but my credit score never was addressed with no true answer other than that the company indicated that I was late.

Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Section 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) states that transactions between the consumer and the person/corporation generating the report is NOT included in the consumer reports. However, XXXX is currently including this information. This inclusion of excluded data, as outlined in 15 USC 1681 ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), represents a clear violation of Metro2 compliance standards. I am requesting the Metro2 compliance disclosure regarding the reporting of transactions to a consumer reporting agency. Specifically, I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-offs, and ANY other derogatory information from my consumer reports, deleted from my consumer report effective immediately. 

Do not respond with this account has been validated, I want to be clear, I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. Please refrain from responding with these tactics that will waste my valuable time. It is important to note that these accounts have been designated as being in collection/charge-off WITHOUT providing me with a copy of IRS Form 1099-C, which is required for Cancellation of Debt. This action by XXXX and the creditors who are reporting collections/charge-offs, late payments, and other derogatory information in my consumer reports is in direct violation of 26 USC 6050P, which pertains to Returns Related to the Cancellation of Indebtedness by Certain Entities. 

If the derogatory account information is not removed from my consumer reports within 15 days, I will have no choice but to officially file IRS Form 3949-A : Information Referral and IRS Form 211 : Application for Award for Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against all persons/corporations involved.
