Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
We have an extensive number of reports all associated with our problem and situation stemming back 10 months or more. It has handicapped our ability to borrow severely creating financial difficulties. There are two very distinct issues in complaining about the credit reporting- A ] All three agencies- although advised were in sync with, our information they re NOT as witnessed by new complaints [ XXXX XXXX . ] B ] There are other unknown credit reporting agencies feeding information to potential creditors that have incorrect data. How are we to repot and correct them? Previously we identified one and reported but our understanding is there are OTHERS! The complaint is the total lack of concern by your agency to PROTECT consumers from this abuse? We have been rejected in the past week from close to 10-12 lenders.

State: NV
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:
**Please note, this complaint was originally submitted under # XXXX through the US mail. Despite sending it return receipt requested and receiving a signature, when I tried to follow up, there was no record of my claim I consolidated all loans in XX/XX/XXXX with a company called suntech. My original promissory note was for {$37000.00}. Under federal statute ( and what I was told my the loan agent ) this was a 20 year consolidation. I never received ANY disclosure to alter the terms of the original promissory note. 
This loan was sold multiple times. I continued to pay to each and every company as agreed, even paying over the amount for multiple months in an attempt to pay off earlier. Each time, I specified the extra amount was to be applied to principal. 
In XX/XX/XXXX the loan was acquired by XXXX XXXX. 
1 ) they claim the prinicipal amount at the time of acquisition was {$43000.00}. After 10 years of payments, they claim my prinicipal increased from the original promissory note. Despite multiple attempts to show them it is just not possible, they absolutely refuse to acknowledge this. I have sent copies of promissory notes and pages of cancelled checks to prove what i have paid. 
2 ) They claim the original consolidation was {$43000.00}, yet they are unable to provide me with any disclosure that would have changed the loan from the binding contract. 
3 ) They refuse to give me credit for all canceled checks provided to them, insisting they are only responsible for giving me credit for payments made to them. This in essence negates 10 years of payments and some {$40000.00}. 
4 ) They have missapplied multiple payments, often with XXXX going to prinicipal and multiple late fees within the same month. They have also charged late fees when I have provided proof that the check has cleared my bank well within the grace period. 
5 ) I have tried every avenue, yet they hold fast to their stand. Every time anyone questions them, they give the same pat answer that they have reviewed everything and they are in the right. They REFUSE to accept any proof of payment made before they acquired the loan and REFUSE to acknowledge that it is just impossible for the principal of a loan to increase after 10 years of payments. 
They have even gone so far as to request that i no longer " bother '' them with my concerns, they are done explaining themselves. 
I maintain that the original amount was {$37000.00}, a 20 year consolidation loan and if all payments had been applied correctly ( as shown by attached amortization by a forensic accountant ) this loan is not only paid in full, I have overpaid by some {$3500.00}.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
I was trying to buy a washer and dryer at XXXX XXXX XXXX Arizona XX/XX/2018. When they ran my credit they said they could not finish because I had a lock on my account and it was Experian that was holding my credit due to a lock for 6 months which I did not authorize.Reference number is XXXX. They said call Experian so an automated service came on and could not understand that I was calling to remove any lock on my credit and after calling 3 times I had to leave the purchase until this was cleared up.This is the second time that Experian has caused me trouble. At this point lawyers are processing another failure of wrong information on my account from 5 years ago. How is it that you can not reach a human being when this automated service then said it was notifying other agencies to put a 6 month freeze on my account.This is an unfair system that only harms people with good scores.

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

Complaint:
I have reached out to PennyMac to let them know they were reporting incorrect payment for XX/XX/XXXX. They stated that they would update the credit bureaus to reflect no late payment for XX/XX/XXXX. I decided to check my reports due to an alert indicating PennyMac being reinvestigated, only to find out that PennyMac has made the dispute worst by continuously report incorrect information to both XXXX and XXXX. I contacted both agencies and this is what they said to me : " XXXX stated that they received an electronic notification back from PennyMac indicating a 30-day late payment for XX/XX/XXXX is correct. XXXX  stated that they received an electronic notification from PennyMac indicating a 60-day late payment for XX/XX/XXXX is correct but they did not provide any actual or physical supporting documentation to support their claim but stating account has been 30 to 60 day late and verified payment for XXXX is correct. '' PennyMac has sent me documents to show that I was never late in XX/XX/XXXX, yet they are still reporting to the above credit bureaus that I am. I have sent those same documents to both credit bureaus to correct the XX/XX/XXXX payment to reflect Ok- paid as agreed. They will not change it because they said it's the creditor ( PennyMac ) responsibility to make the change. Per the Fair Credit Report Act, the creditor & credit bureau must report accurate and verifiable information. In this case, they both are clearly in violation of the FCRA Law and they have caused major damaged to my credit rating and score since XX/XX/XXXX to current. 

Facts : Home was sold on XX/XX/XXXX and PennyMac received full payoff as of XX/XX/XXXX. So, how can I be 30 or 60 days late for XX/XX/XXXX when they received full payment on the loan with the documents attached. By the way, 30 days late does not start until XX/XX/XXXX, and loan was paid off on XXXX than 30 or 60 days late? The fact of the matter is, they are reporting incorrect lates against me for XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX and XXXX. If this is not corrected in a timely matter, I will be seeking legal counsel for damages. 

Enclosures : XXXX  Credit Report for PennyMac XXXX Credit Report for PennyMac PennyMac XX/XX/XXXX History to prove I was never late in XX/XX/XXXX Closing Disclosure dated XX/XX/XXXX from the sale of the home Escrow Refund Check dated XX/XX/XXXX P.S. How can I be 30 to 60 days late for XX/XX/XXXX when the loan closed on XX/XX/XXXX and the Cancellation Of Deed To Secure Debt dated XX/XX/XXXX does not constitute a late payment when PennyMac received all funds on XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: EOS Holdings, Inc.
State: TX
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
I had a {$36.00} balance in collections with EOS CCA from a XXXX XXXX XXXX account. First, I did not start receiving bills until XX/XX/XXXX when I lived in Texas and after several communications with EOS, it turned out that this was from an old Ohio address from XX/XX/XXXX. And at that point, I had spoken to XXXX XXXX in Texas and it was confirmed that we had a {$0.00} balance so I had thought this was taken care of. We were never notified that this was from Ohio. I then tried to dispute the {$36.00} with the credit bureau which was then unresolved. When working with a mortgage lender, I found that this account is impacting my credit score by more than 20 points. Finally on XX/XX/XXXX I called EOS and paid the {$36.00}. I now currently have a $ XXXX/closed account with EOS and XXXX XXXX. When speaking with EOS, I asked them that since the account was closed and paid in full and it is impacting my credit score so significantly, if they would delete the account from my credit report. They refused. I spoke with managers and associates more than 4 times in the past 3 weeks trying to resolve this because it is such a small account and there was so much confusion. I was never notified of the important details of this account from EOS, thus I do not feel that it should reflect on my credit report. If the {$36.00} was valid, I could have paid it years ago. I then spoke with XXXX XXXX directly on XX/XX/XXXX via Chat and via phone. This was the date that XXXX XXXX informed me the account was from XX/XX/XXXX. On this day, a woman from XXXX XXXX submitted a ticket to EOS asking them personally to remove the account from credit because she agreed that for this little balance, it needed to be removed all together. Then on XX/XX/XXXX, I called to check in on the ticket and was told by a gentleman that the ticket just asked for a {$0.00} balance when she has specifically agreed to submit a " Deletion '' request. So this gentleman then submitted a " Deletion '' request. He apologized as well, also agreed this was ridiculous and said he would do everything he could to help with EOS. After submitting THIS ticket ( I have this ticket number he provided to me ), I called EOS back. I asked EOS to review the XXXX XXXX ticket to get this deleted and they refused to even look at it and said " we do not delete and your account is closed ''. Bottom line, I am trying to get housing for my family and this {$36.00}, although paid in full, has been an ongoing issue that I really need help with getting resolved. Thank you for your time and assistance.

State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Struggling to pay your bill
Sub-issue: Credit card company won't work with you while you're going through financial hardship

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2019 I called Bank of America cash rewards card to address the fact that I'm currently not making any money and it's difficult for my husband and I to make payments moving forward after XXXX. My husband and I have been using our savings to pay down the debt but we're through with our saved amount. 

I called to express the concern to the credit card company stating the next few months would be hard for us to pay the debt ( Impossible ), until I have a positive cash flow by getting a new job. I don't want any negative marks on our credit and we've been very responsible with our commitment to pay back everything. I asked if we may have a deferment just until I can find a job to pay off the debt. The Only option I was offered was to lower my interest rate and close the credit card ( which I stated I wasn't interested in closing it, I don't want a bad mark on my credit ) and they weren't willing to give me the option to lower my monthly payments either. 

They mentioned the only time they offer a defferment is when a Natural disaster occurs. For example : fires, earthquakes, floods, death.. 

The debt is too hard for my husband and I to handle at this time. 

Our total debt owed is {$9300.00} and our Monthly Payments are {$260.00}.
