Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, 2017, I finally got an email with a link to sign up for a free 1 year of credit monitoring ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ). Unfortunately, I am unable to login to my account. My password is not valid. I could not reset. I wanted to freeze my credit report with XXXX. But access to website, and toll-free calls to XXXX  have not been helpful. They indicate company is overwhelmed with many requests to do anything to freeze, signup for their XXXX service, reset passwords, or even request a free credit report. Each day I try to call or go on the internet to contact them is fruitless.

Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I attended XXXX college from the summer of XXXX through the winter of XXXX to receive an associates degree. I took out a subsidized loan for XXXX and an unsubsidized loan for XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX Dusing the winter quarter. I have the copies of my paperwork and have paid off the XXXX loan. I keep good records and have no problem paying off what I actually owe. However, over the years I have made payments on loans that end up not being mine and the money has been wasted. It has been reported on all three  credit agencies that I have several other college loans outstanding. I am currently paying off a XXXX loan and am one month from it being considered current - even though I have no record of taking out that loan.
I have written all three credit agencies, sent certified letters to XXXX XXXX and the dept. of education on two separate occasions over the last three years, all to no avail. Even though I ask that the debts be proven to be mine or taken off my reports, nothing happens at all. I am dillegently trying to get my credit record taken care of so that I can some day buy a house.
I am reasonably sure that I have figured out what the problem is : on XX/XX/XXXXI signed Voluntary Hardship Forbearance papers ( I have the paperwork for this action ) for the loans I had taken out on XX/XX/XXXX and this date corresponds with some of the outstanding loans. It has been reported that I " took out additional loans '' when in fact, I extended the time period before I needed to start paying my loans off.
I went to XXXX College and got a copy of my transcripts, I was not in school in XXXX so no student loans could have been extended to me at that time. These dates ca n't be a loan taken out by me. I would like help getting all student loans off my records, except what is actually owed by me.

Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
I received a letter from Macy 's stating that they will not renew my Macy AMX card beyond the expiration date. I called and asked why, and they told me that I did not meet the criteria to qualify to have the card renewed. I asked the agent what the criteria is to qualify and was told " we don't discuss or disclose that information to our customers. '' Macy 's is a company that pushes its associates to get customers to apply for and obtain a Macy 's credit card. Then when you use the card Macy 's wants to complain and the lower the credit limit ( which Macys has done twice with my account ) and then not renew your account. A growing and popular trend among credit card companies is to frequently pull a credit report on a consumer to " review '' their account and then lower or decrease the credit limit closer to whatever the balance is on the card at the time of the " review '' and then complain that the consumer is using too much of the credit limit or that the proportion of balance to credit limit is too high. Then the credit card companies expect the consumer to pay the full balance while at the same time continuing to charge interest on an account the consumer may no longer be able to use and refuse to work with the consumer for an amicable solution. It's only when a corporation is sued or is subject to action taken by the government against the corporation, then the corporation wants to play the victim. At a time when Macy 's is struggling and is going through tough financial times and having to close stores and lay off employee I don't think upsetting and alienating the customers is a way to increase business and sales to help a company that is already struggling financially and prevent Macy 's from following behind Sears in filing bankruptcy and will probably go out of business in the next five years.

Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
To whom it may concern, I have had a Home Equity Line of Credit with XXXX XXXX for almost fifteen years. Recently, XXXX XXXX chose to report, " Account Closed '' on my credit bureaus, even though it is OPEN with a balance that I make payments on each month. XXXX XXXX had blocked access to funds back in XXXX when real estate values had plunged. I 've never been a day late on my payments, EVER! And now my account is considered " CLOSED ''!? 

The issue I have is that this move by XXXX XXXX of reporting my account as " CLOSED '' has caused my credit scores to suffer terribly because still having a {$71000.00} balance now makes my utilization percentage on my credit reports soar to over 100 % virtually killing my credit scores. So much so, I 'm having trouble getting credit and refinancing my house. It 's unfair and causing financial hardship for me and my family. 
The stress is unbearable, as I am unable to acquire new credit for my business or refinance my house. I need your help. Please advise.

Issue: Problem with a purchase or transfer
Sub-issue: Charged for a purchase or transfer you did not make with the card

Complaint:
Started recieving SSI benefits in XX/XX/XXXX. Direct Express is the company contracts with the Government to distribute these benefits. XX/XX/XXXX during a check of my ballance I discover a charge for {$39.00}. Called to dispute the transaction after viewing numerous consumer complaints on line about the company. After several attempts to resolve the issue it was recommended the card be cancelled and reissued. However in the online comments it was stated that this did not resolve the issue. Further, after being told the issue was resolved, consumers still faced the same issues. Supervisor XXXX of Direct Express hung up without initiating my dispute when I demanded the service be discontinued. 
I spent several hours just to get to that point to avoid the fraudulent practices and am not willing to go through it again.

Complaint:
To whom it may concern, I had been paying on a mortgage my Mom had with XXXX XXXX XXXX since her passing on XX/XX/XXXX. The scheduled installments were {$300.00} per month. I have always applied additional funds to the payment to accelerate the payoff. 
However, I received a request of renewed Flood Insurance, which I furnished to them as soon as I got the notice, which was in XX/XX/XXXX. In XXXX, I received my new statement which was now {$1200.00} per month. I immediately reached out to XXXX and told me that they couldn't speak to me regarding to account because my name wasn't on the loan. this was a total lie. My name was all over the documents .For this reason, and from this moment on they refused to speak to me in any fashion about this loan, although I was the one making the payments. From this time forward the statements would be {$1200.00}, and since no one would speak with me, I continued to make the regular payments. Until XXXX of XXXX, I noticed that the payments I was making were not being applied to the loan, they were holding them in what the called, suspense. At this point I stopped making payments, and hired an attorney. Still, no one speak to me, or my attorney. this went on until XX/XX/XXXX I made arrangements an paid off the loan. However, they reported me to the credit bureau as a foreclosure. To the point, I was not foreclosed on, therefore there shouldn't have been any reporting. 
So again I tried to speak to someone about this matter, and they referred me to some customer service web site. I explained the situation to them, and asked them to remove the foreclosure report, since there wasn't one. again no response. Til this day I've had two people talk to me in a seventeen month span. I have all the documentation to show that this Institution is criminal in their practices. I was never foreclosed on, please have them remove it from my report. 

Thank you, XXXX
