Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC
State: MA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
Portfolio Recovery has yet again reported false information to the credit bureaus. They gave XXXX 4 new accounts and my score dropped 50 points. They did not provide any proof to XXXX that these accounts are mine. 

I contacted CFPB regarding Portfolio Recovery a few months back. They were reporting false information and has never closed the claim. When I called them about the 4 new accounts they stated that the original debt that I appealed is still open. They never provided solid proof for the first account. 

I would like to request again that they submit all documents with my signature for me to review. They continue to ruin my credit with no evidence and continue to get away with this. Thank you. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Mariner Finance agreed to a reduced settlement amount after a prior CFPB complaint. I payed them the amount to close the account but they are still reporting a balance as well as having put a late charge on my account, when the account was already listed a " charge off ''. These vindictive moves have negatively affected my credit when my good faith attempt to pay off and close this account was a move to improve my credit and close out what I owe.

I was a victim of identity theft and explained to TransUnion that I did not authorize any inquiries on my credit.

I need these accounts deleted off my credit file. It is hindering my livelihood and I was not the one to authorize them. XXXX  and XXXX  deleted it with no problems, but TransUnion is the only company not cooperating.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
My credit information is held by three major companies. Equifax was one such company that has held my records. In XXXX of XXXX thru XXXX of XXXX Equifax servers were compromised and records have been stolen. Checking with Equifax they gave me a vague answer of your records may have been impacted. This is unacceptable, in the healthcare field our records and information MUST be encrypted and can only be transferred back and forth using XXXX XXXX Transfer XXXX. Equifax has held on to my personal information and did not even have basic security set up to prevent information that is stolen from being decrypted. Checking with Equifax they have stated that my information has potentially been compromised. For a resolution I no longer want my information reported to Equifax unless they can effectively demonstrate secure IT and data practices. I am not an IT expert my field is XXXX Compliance but I learned IT basics and implement security at my own home. If any of these three companies is going to hold personal records on me I want data encryption and secure file transfer protocols, up to date IT protocols and up to date cyber security. Instead what I, and anyone else compromised, got was the equivalent of putting my financial information in a sack with a dollar sign on it and walking down XXXXhe street with it to deliver it.

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
This company, which I hold no contract with nor have received services from, reported collection accounts found on my credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX for the amount of $ XXXX, $ XXXX and $ XXXX. I've contacted the debt agency in XX/XX/2017, for more information regarding these debts and could not get in contact with a representative. These debts were fraudulently placed on my report without my consent and does not show proof of validation that it is mine. I've requested validation of said debt accounts showing my signature, however the business failed to provide adequate proof. Considering this business does not have a contract with me for goods or services, nor have they provided adequate proof I am not obligated to pay for this alleged debt. Under section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ( i ) states that all 3 credit reporting agencies must have the original signed paperwork in their physical possession before they can report it on said credit file. No paperwork with my signature was furnished to me as proof of validation. I've requested validation by mail and was provided what I've attached to this complaint ; which is a direct violation of The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.

Complaint:
The mortgage lender noted that they could not pull my credit from Equifax because the name wasn't updated. I contacted Equifax 6 times within the last 2 months with issues on updating my name. My phone records will prove it. Each time I was transferred at least 2 to 3 times to speak with someone or call a different number for help. I called on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and the issue is still not fixed. I had a name change through marriage ; my full name was changed to a different one. I submitted required documentation to show proof. I submitted my driver 's license, marriage license and social security number. I needed them to fix it expeditiously because I found a home to purchase and was looking to close on it on XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with a customer care representative from Equifax last Saturday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and he mentioned that my name was updated and I will receive a letter in the mail in 7 business days. I did received my credit report on Tuesday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) but they misspelled my first name so my mortgage lenders ( XXXX XXXX , XXXX ) said they can't use it to pull my credit report. I called Equifax on this same day ( XX/XX/XXXX ) letting them know that they misspelled my first name ; even when I submitted documents with the correct way my name ( first, middle and last ) was to be on my credit report. She told me that their process is 7 business days but she could email me the results. The problem with that is they can't tell me which name the report is under. When you type in the name incorrectly XXXX time, it kicks you out of the systems and you are unable to get the report. I feel that they incorrectly typed my name so why do I have to wait 7 more business days for another one? I told them that I need it for closing on a home by this Friday ( XX/XX/XXXX ). I was told that there is nothing they could do for me even though it was there fault for spelling my name  incorrectly and sending it by mail. Can you please help me? I need it by Monday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) so that I can close on time.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018 an automatically scheduled payment of {$390.00} was deducted from my checking account. However, Navient only applied {$260.00} to my student loan account on XX/XX/2018, the additional {$130.00} was not scheduled to apply to my account until XX/XX/2018. I called and spoke with a supervisor who said she would reset the counters ( again ) and the payment would be applied correctly. The following day I received a notice that I needed to direct an over payment, because this was a Saturday I waited until Monday, XX/XX/XXXX to call. On this day I spoke with a representative who told me I needed to wait a few days. I have now waited and no action has been taken. 

Additionally, upon review of recent payments I discovered a payment of {$530.00} on XX/XX/2018 appears to not be fully applied. The payment history shows a payment of {$530.00} but on the payment allocation it appears only {$340.00} has been applied. What happened to the other {$190.00}? Why was {$190.00} not allocated the way in which I directed? Navient never notified me of a need to specify how to deal with an over payment. In fact, because I have contacted Navient so many times they have set my account to default to never extend my due date. It appears my due date is not being extended but my money is now not being applied to my loans. I contact Navient at least once a month due to misapplication of payments but I believe in XXXX I did not contact them because I thought my payment was applied correctly. 

I now have no confidence that my payments were applied correctly over the life of the loan. I wonder how much Navient has stolen from me.

Complaint:
Citi Bank closed my online account with no notice to me at all. When I went online to pay my bill, the user name and password I have used for years was suddenly not active. It asked me to set up another online account, and the account log-in name was available, so my history and online profile was completely deleted. I called the company to discuss why and they could not give me an answer as to why. I am concerned that all my history and information is no longer available to me and this seems to be a very concerning issue related to online fraud. I would like them to investigate but they did not at all seem concerned with the matter.
