Complaint:
This is the second time I've updated this questionable information by sending a letter to the three credit bureaus.

This was previously mentioned in my previous COMPLAINT #, and I'm including it once more. Thank you.

Company: Maximus Education, LLC dba Aidvantage
State: TX
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
My student loan servicer changed from XXXX to Aidvantage sometime in the past year. I logged on to my Aidvantage account at the beginning of XXXX to make a substantial payment only to discover that none of my payment history had been transferred during the transition, so none of the {$33000.00} of payments I had made since 2017 were being reflected on my account. I appealed to Aidvantage and they said they would have this resolved within 10 days. I submitted receipts of my payments and made 5 follow-up calls and emails. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and not only have they not resolved this or made good on ANY commitment ( including mailing me my payment history ), but I have discovered that my loan balance has INCREASED {$10000.00} due to an " adjustment, '' but I have not taken out any new loans in years. I have attempted to call several times and literally get a VOICEMAIL and zero response. Please help, as I have been swindled out of $ XXXX in payments and now have $ XXXX in debt that is being assigned to me.

Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC
State: IL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
In XXXX, a company called Portfolio Recovery Associates allegedly purchased a debt I supposedly originally owed to XXXX XXXX. I have continued to dispute ever owing this charge. In XXXX, I formally disputed it with all 3 credit bureaus and it was removed from all but XXXX. They sent me a formal report ( attached ) stating that the tradeline for Portfolio Recovery would be removed in XX/XX/XXXX. I have included a copy of the report from XXXX ( please see page XX/XX/XXXX ). In XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted XXXX directly and was told the tradeline would be officially removed XX/XX/XXXX. I called on XX/XX/XXXX and was told that the date could potentially be moved to XX/XX/XXXX. The law states that the tradeline can only stay on the report for a maximum of 7 years from the initial default date of the ORIGINAL debt. XXXX XXXX is showing XXXX as the last payment received which already makes it XXXX yrs old.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Other personal consumer report
Issue: Identity theft protection or other monitoring services
Sub-issue: Didn't receive services that were advertised

Complaint:
Because of the XXXX data breach I tried to freeze my credit with Transunion ( and the other credit bureaus as well ). I was able to find the link to complete the credit freeze process online several days ago but now Transunion appears to have hidden the ability to do this online. Now I am only able to find their pay credit monitoring service. This is not the same as freezing credit and I do not want their credit monitoring service, I want to freeze my credit. I called their 800 line but get disconnected when trying to complete the credit freeze process. 
I can only presume that Transunion is doing this on purpose in an effort to get people to purchase their credit monitoring service - something that is not at all equivalent to freezing credit.

Sub-issue: Billing problem

Complaint:
XXXX sold out to Westlake Portfolio Management. I would assume for the issues with the military, to include myself, and their overcharging and improper procedures of collection. I owe 1 more payment to Westlake, as they took over the last few months. I have not been late, but they are attempting to collect my last payment a month ahead of time and are now are saying my XX/XX/XXXX payment is considered late and will reflect on my credit. They are using this as a tool of harassment. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX veteran and I served 22 years as an XXXX XXXX is the XXXX XXXX XXXX. The fact, we have been overcharged and overcharged and had added expenses is incomprehensible. We have been unable to understand our debt since going through XXXX and are unable to access any charges by XXXX or Westlake Portfolio Management. We are confused how we owe an entire {$800.00} more when we supposedly owe {$650.00} as our final payment. No one can explain this to my wife and I. We have been called every day since the XXXX, as they say our payment is now is default. Again, we are not late nor have we been late. XXXX extended our payments during XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX, I believe it was, and they did report to credit that we were late when they fixed the payments to be paid in more than one payment on a monthly basis. This was due to biweekly pay schedule. The issue is with Westlake now and we can get no satisfaction with insuring their mistakes does not effect my credit. I am trying to buy a house. I have been repairing credit due to fraud since XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX. This has been tragic. I have no idea what to do at this point but to contact attorneys. Westlake Portfolio uses tactics I believe are wrong. What else can we do here when we just want this issue fixed? Regards, XXXX and XXXX

Company: Assured Financial Partners
State: TX
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
For the past two years I and my elderly mother and other family members have been receiving repeat calls and messages about supposed pending legal matters pertaining to a debt that I know nothing about. I have always told my mom to ignore the calls, my credit is great and I keep and eye out for changes in my report but these constant messages upset her so I finally called them back one day and they threated to serve me with papers. I gave them my address and told them to send me documentation or whatever they needed to send me, just stop calling my mother and that I knew nothing about the debt they were referencing. They never sent me anything. The calls stopped for a while and they have started up again. After ignoring them, they have become more aggressive and again, I called them back to see what they would say. This time they said they were with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( My case Reference # XXXX ) and were acting as mediators on behalf of their client - XXXX - Assured Financial Partners. They say they have purchased an old debt attached to my social in the amount of {$3200.00} that is now {$5800.00} and if we go to court {$2500.00} will be added to that amount. When pressed for info about the original creditor they said it was a XXXX XXXX ending in XXXX and I have never opened a XXXX account so unless I am a victim of identity theft and the retailer just never reported this delinquent account to the credit bureau, this is a total scam. After speaking to these people I immediately called XXXX and they were unable to locate any account attached to my social security number. While this was a slight relief, I am still very concerned because whoever I was speaking to on the phone did have all of my information including my social security number, home address and phone number. I am unsure of what I should do next, they said I would be served with papers so I guess I will wait and see if that happens but I suspect that just like last time, nothing will happen.
