Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, my 3 student loans ( XXXX XXXX ) were paid in full by XXXX and XXXX XXXX. After that, I was on a 3 year post monitoring status.

Unfortunately, it took them over 5 months to finally get the balances to XXXX. Along with the XXXX balance, a remark was added to all 3 loans that reads " Deferred, payments begin XX/XX/XXXX which is totally incorrect. I have disputed the errors with all 3 major bureaus several times, but they told that they can only report what the lender tells them to. I have suffered a 70+ point drop in score and have been denied several loans because of the erroneous $ XXXX $ XXXX dollars of debt.

Complaint:
I have a lease with  XXXX . I set up automatic withdrawal for my payments. I sent in the form and voided check to enroll. I was told it would take approximately 30 days to go through. I received a bill later on asking for a double payment. I had thought that the payments were on auto draft. It turns out the company did not withdraw the payment by the due date. I was never called or notified in writing that my account was delinquent until after a 30 day mark appeared on my credit report.     When I called  XXXX  regarding the bill, I paid the full amount due immediately.  XXXX  said that due to the misunderstanding, they would remove the 30 day mark from my credit report if I submitted a request in writing. I submitted this request rough ly 4-5 months ago and have not heard back. I have called multiple times only to be bounced around departments with no one able to give me any information or answers.  I also tried disputing this information from my credit report and they did not remove it. I am requesting this 30 day late mark be removed from my credit report.

Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
I had a name change a decade ago, which I can provide documentation for - I have a court document. Before this time, I was able to take out student loans, and since then, I have been able to open a couple of chequing accounts. 

However, one of the three credit unions believes that I don't exist, in that they will not provision a credit score to my financial institution during my current mortgage search process ( this being a first-time mortgage- if I could actually get one! ). None of them will verify my identity, so I can not receive my annual credit report. 

So, I don't exist, and I can't take out a mortgage, or even get a credit card - and I work for a credit card company! Anything that shows up on my account for the past 10 years should be fraudulent, because I haven't even been able to use my credit for my own purposes. But I can't use my credit, and I can't even monitor my credit. 

Listen : I have the better part of a XXXX dollars in my 401k, but I can't get a {$200.00} credit line on a credit card. 

Every couple of years, I try to resolve this, whether by contacting my financial institution for help or calling the credit agency 's call center directly. On my most recent attempt, in addition to things like phone calls, I was mailed an envelope with a security code. But because I lived in an area with significant flooding, the roads into my city were closed for several days around the time the code would have arrived. My code ended up arriving 14 days late- which is the duration of time the code would have been valid for. The same minute I retrieved it from my mail, I went to my desk to enter it, but it was too late. 

I don't know what else to do. I just want two things that every citizen deserves. I want my credit report, because I want to manage any fraudulent activity on my account. And I want to have a credit score - any credit score will do.

Please see the attached documents including a copy of my complaint to the credit bureaus, my police report, a letter from my federal XXXX XXXX, a copy of my complaint to the ftc for identity theft, and a copy showing what date the credit bureau received my complaint about identity theft appearing on my credit reports. 

I am the victim of identity theft. It is my understanding that once notified, the credit bureaus have to remove the fraudulent accounts from my credit reports within 4 business days. They have not. I am still fighting to get these fraudulent items off of my credit reports. I was XXXX  for a number of years and the attached police report detail and the letter from my XXXX   XXXX prove that. Yet these fraudulent accounts have not been removed from my credit report. This is severely hindering me from being able to obtain credit myself. Please help me to resolve this matter.

Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
i received a letter dated XX/XX/2018 from Chase Bank stating that they were ending their relationship with me and that my 3 bank accounts ( 2 checking and 1 savings ) would be closed by XX/XX/2018 and that my credit card with them would be closed effective immediately. i have been a customer of the bank for over 20 years, run high cash balances, never had an issue with overdraft, negative balances, non payments or anything else i can think of. the letter did not reveal the issue for the termination. There was no warning or communication from them prior to receiving the letter. 

when i reached out to the bank - both through my local branch as well as the number provided on the letter, they reiterated they had the right to end any relationship they wanted and were under no obligation to declare a reason. they were completely unhelpful and just stonewalled me behind privacy and secrecy rules. This is not how banks should be treating very long term customers. 

I am concerned that there may be something sinister at play here - false identity, identity theft, faulty credit reporting, or just a plain mistake, whether it is clerical or a computer. If there truly is a problem with my account, i feel that they should explain the issue so that it can be fixed and not impact me going forward at another financial institution. 

obviously i am looking to get this decision overturned, but at a minimum at least get a reason for the termination so i can determine whether there has been any fraud in my name or if i have a problem that needs to be fixed going forward.
