Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
Last year, I began receiving fraudulent electricity bills at my address with my name and address from XXXX XXXX for a service address in a different city over XXXX hours away from where I live. I repeatedly called XXXX to try to resolve this problem but was brushed off and lied to. I spoke with customer service agents, fraud department, billing and collections and even the office of the CEO. I was told over and over again that there was nothing I could do because I was not listed as an authorized user of the account. They said I should not worry because they had another party listed as the account holder. They could not or would not look into or explain how my name had been linked to this account. I asked for my name and address to be removed from the account but was told I could not because I was not an authorized user of the account. I was assured that there would be no repercussions and that my name did not even show up on the main account information page. XXXX refused to investigate, refused to accept a dispute, refused to take a complaint over repeated calls for months. 
Finally, the account became delinquent and we began to receive notices from XXXX and then from a debt collection company. I immediately contacted the debt collection company, who were helpful. They told me that XXXX had sent them the account with only my name and address, despite the fact that XXXX had told me over and over that I was not responsible for the account and could not make any changes and that there was another person name listed as primary responsible party for the debt. In short, despite all of this, when the account became delinquent I was the XXXX held responsible for the debt. They also told me I needed to and was entitled to file a dispute with XXXX. I called XXXX to confront them with this information and threaten legal action through a complaint to the PUB. In response, XXXX now, finally, claims to be taking action to clear my name, remove my address from the account and send a cease collection notice to the debt collection company. I have yet to see proof of this, and they do not intend to send me any proof. I fear that this negligence and incompetence on their part will end with me having to pay a debt that is not mine in order to clear the record of this bogus debt now associated with my name and address. And even if they have taken action to correct this fiasco, I can not forgive the months of incompetence that preceded it. 
I want to reiterate that at this time, GC Services collection company is NOT in any way responsible for this, as they explained to me that XXXX sent the wrong information to them. I hope this will continue to be the case.

Complaint:
Clear back last XXXX I got several awful voicemails from someone mumbling about a " personal business matter '' that their lawyers wanted to speak with me about. Eventually ( XXXX ) they called and I answered. They specified they were from " West & Associates '' collecting on a Debt from XXXX. A few days later I got a letter in the mail from them saying they were going to sue me in court and press judgement against me. Immediately I sent them XXXX letters ( attached ), XXXX asking them to VALIDATE debt, and another telling them to cease all contact except via written letter to me ( sent on XXXX XXXX XXXX ). They ceased all communication until XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX and again on XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX I received a phone call from them ( I still have the voicemail. ) I sent them XXXX more letters ( attached ) which were signed via Return Receipt last MONDAY. Again, telling them to cease contact with me, and to validate the debt. Yesterday ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) They CALLED ME AGAIN. I notified them via phone that they are not to call me. They always yell at me and do n't listen to what I have to say and hang up. I KNOW they know they are not to call me anymore but they still do so. I will, from here on out, submit a complaint into your system anytime they call me. I have attached the following ; All letters I 've sent them, the return receipt signatures, and a recording of the phone call on XXXX XXXX XXXX. ( I did let them know they were being recorded. ) I 'll also try and include screenshots of my phone calls from them since I sent them the cease contact letter. 

This company has not only failed to validate my debt, but they 've also ignored every chance I 've contacted them to cease all phone communications. Now they 're harassing people that are n't even related to me, as well as my family. 

I will, gladly provide more information if needed.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint:
I have reviewed my credit reports with XXXX, XXXX & XXXX and the reporting that Fed Loan continues to report has stalled my approval to purchase a home. Fed loan is reporting that my loan was opened in XX/XX/XXXX in which it was not. The original creditor is reporting an entirely different month. Fed loan is also reporting an incorrect XXXX date of delinquency. I have made several attempts to have these incorrect reporting updated or deleted but to no avail except for the deletion of XXXX of the amounts they have been reporting. This account has been closed for quite some time and I 'd like to see that the inaccuracies removed from my personal credit reports because they are extremely incorrect. How can they continue to report this {$4200.00} & XXXX debt on my reports incorrectly! This loan was originated from an institution that I attended and again, the date the loan originated is NOT XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX expressed in her mailer to me that by law they are to report accurate information to the credit bureaus and unfortunately, Fed XXXX is not abiding by this law as they continue to report erroneous information on all XXXX of my credit reports. This loan was originated in XX/XX/XXXX but prior to XX/XX/XXXX. I am requesting that I be provided with the signed promissory note that reflects the date that they are reporting. Per the XXXX, which is the XXXX and only accurate reporting agency for this loan, the date they 're reporting is incorrect. Furthermore, the payment history being reported reflects that the XXXX date of delinquency is XX/XX/XXXX on Experian, XX/XX/XXXX on Equifax & on TransUnion XX/XX/XXXX. Well which XXXX is it really!? How can this be accurate if it 's all different? I am requesting that these reporting 's be deleted or updated to reflect the correct loan details per the XXXX under the Fair Credit Reporting Act immediately.

Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint:
Equifax continues to report XXXX inaccurate late pay of my student loan account on my credit file. They are overlooking that it was not a late pay as my account was in forbearance with my credit furnisher. Further more the FCRA State that they must report my account accurately. The FTC also states that under the FCRA laws is must report to accurate information regardless of the fact that it was reported correctly before. SEC. 464 of the HEA ( Higher Education ACT ) states that information must be corrected to reportedly accurately because my account was in forbearance within the period that is showing a late pay. No payment was due therefore ensuring that my account was never late. I was in forbearance and my account has been current from then on. It must be changed immediately as it is negatively affecting my credit report. I have talked to both the CRA and the furnisher and they seem to point the finger at one another and I need this to be deleted immediately or i will be forced to take Equifax to small claims for damages.

Sub-issue: Problem getting report or credit score

Complaint:
Over the last several years I have been trying to work with Equifax directly because they have made my credit report unavailable to myself and to anyone who is looking to review it for the purpose of obtaining credit. It has been brought to my attention in the past that due to the size of my credit file the Equifax system is unable to process request to view my credit history. I have written letters and have asked for this issue to be corrected and still nothing happens. They tell me that because they see it in their internal system it has to be a problem with the company trying to pull it. In fact the problem is the Equifax system and its inability to house my huge file. I can not pull it up online myself to review and dispute items, I can not pull it through the annual credit reporting site as allowed by law. Creditors can not pull it either. I have had issues in the past with this and I get the back and forth from Equifax. I know for a fact that at some point there have been several unauthorized inquires on my report which have caused my report to get too big and was told this was causing the freezing. I reported the unauthorized inquires through online dispute forms and nothing. Just canned responses. I do n't know what else to do to get this issue resolved. Sometimes the credit report works and sometimes it does not.
