Complaint:
Hi and how are you doing? Im not sure who to take this to anymore, but Ive disputed this account several times with both the original creditor and the credit reporting agencies accordingly and Ive attached everything to support my dispute. However, I continue to received a pre-template letter sent to me that its been verified and it REMAINS. How is it possible that this was verified if you continue to report incomplete, inconsistent, inaccurate, and unverifiable information on this account and a thorough and in-dept investigation. Ive disputed and I havent received anything as such, but it continues to be reported in violation of the consumer laws. 
Continues to report wrong balance, incorrect date of first delinquency, wrong date of last active, inconsistent payment status, high balance and actual balance is questionable, etc. I believe that section 609 of FCRA also allows me to ask for detail information about the account and how you indeed investigated and your detail process. Im extremely upset and shocked about the way this charge-off account is reporting on my credit report which continues to report with incomplete, inconsistent and unverifiable Info. How can you honestly say that you verified as it being accurate? This was NOT verified! I am requesting this investigation under the authorization of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 623. ( a ) ( 8 ) ability of consumer to dispute information directly with the furnisher.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: DC
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint:
I have a {$2000.00} student loan currently in repayment from Discover Student Loans. The loan application lists XXXX/XXXX/XXXX - XXXX/XXXX/XXXX as the period of enrollment but otherwise includes XXXX personal information detailing that this was a loan taken out on my behalf. The loan application also has co-signer denied but I am sure that I did not apply for nor receive disbursement of the loan. The loan application also features no information about an interest rate or origination fee. There is also a discrepancy between the principal balance on the loan application and the statements that are available online. The loan amount says {$2000.00} but the principal amount on the most recent statement says {$3000.00}. To date, I have made {$1000.00} in payments on the loan. However, I have never received a promissory note or any other communication from Discover Student Loans regarding this loan, except for multiple phone calls harassing me to make payments in a time where I was financially unable to do so. According to Discover, information that they 've received from the XXXX XXXX XXXX says that I graduated on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX but they would not confirm the institution from which it says I graduated. This is also inaccurate, as I did not receive my XXXX degree until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Furthermore, the customer service agent told me my loan entered into repayment on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX even though I received no communication about a change in status of the loan. I am currently experiencing the same issue, as my loan has entered into repayment only 2 months after my completion of my XXXX degree. Additionally, when speaking to customer service I was provided misinformation by two separate agents regarding my payment due date and my payment amount. I was also told that my payments were past due when they are not. Discover Student Loans has been a terrible servicer of a loan that I am unsure that was ever applied for or received and the customer service that I have received thus far regarding this issue has been abysmal.

Sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Complaint:
I have been disputing with all three credit reporting companies and have gotten nothing resolved. I have been the victim of bad credit since I can remember. My credit score has always been in the XXXX 's due to improper reporting. This has caused me to continuously get denied for credit and pay very high interest rates on auto loans. Every time I shop for an auto loan the car dealership sends out my application to different banks ( shotgunning ) the credit companies report every single inquiry on my file. I get denied credit because too many inquiries. Credit companies try to tell me all those inquiries on my file only counted as XXXX and did not affect my score. That is the farthest from the truth. They count and that is why my credit score has never reached XXXX. I have also disputed other inaccurate information in my file and each and every time it remains un resolved.

They gave me a discount on the tub due to the hot water heater was never installed as promised, but would never come back and complete the work I requested which was to fix the raw sewerage line where sewerage flies continue to come up from the drainage. I have emailed called, faxed and sent certified letters they advised that they would come and as of today 's date after waiting over a year no one has showed up and as of today 's date I have never received a response to my letters and faxes. I was then told that my account was in house so as soon as the work with the tub was completed I would pay XXXX as of today 's date after more than 50 calls, emailing their office and faxing them no one has showed up to fix anything. The tub does not have hot water and is not functional. It is a XXXX galloon water system that does not have the hot water installed also the flies are extremely disgusting. I am being billed for the amount of {$24.00}, XXXX for a tub that paperwork shows {$20000.00} billed one thing and paperwork says another. I can not pay for a tub that does not work. I am still waiting for them to fix it. I have asked them several times to fix the tub. They would act like someone will show up and then no one ever does. When I do call their company I keep either getting transferred or no one picks up it is extremely hard to get this company to repair their product or send anyone from their company to show up.

I had a contract to purchase a home in XXXX 2015. The morning of what would have been closing, I wired nearly {$270000.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The afternoon of 'closing day, ' my real estate agent and I did a final walk through of the home only to find that the seller had defaulted on the terms of the contract by not having inspection repairs made and habitability standards met. Upon learning of the seller 's contractual default, I cancelled closing that day. I later approached XXXX XXXX XXXX to request my wired funds be returned to me due to our failure to close. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has refused for multiple days to return my wired funds. My real estate agent and I formally gave notice to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( regional manager ), and XXXX XXXX ( escrow coordinator ) that I expected my funds to be wired back to my account within 24 hours. We are well beyond that timeframe and my funds are still being held against my will by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX seems to be afraid of losing repeat business from the seller 's Realtor, and therefore refuses to return my monies. My monies are being held against my will by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in hopes that I will succumb to their bullying and close on a home that does not pass inspection so that they can maintain a business relationship and profit from their acts of coercion.

Complaint:
The Defendant has engaged XXXX XXXX XXXX to collect alleged debts against me. They declared a fraudulent venue of XXXX County as the place to bring the case when I did not reside in that County. They then allowed phony affidavits of service to be filed knowing that no such people resided at the addresses in question. They site an " XXXX XXXX '' that does not exist as receiving the service. They then cite a neighbor " XXXX XXXX '' as substantiating the information. None of this is true and it was all designed to file default judgments without any opportunity to defend the underlying action.

Complaint:
3 years ago we moved and our final bill was paid to XXXX. A few months later I received a bill from a collection agency in the amount of {$280.00} on behalf of XXXX. I immediately contacted them and told them I paid this to XXXX. Back and forth between them and XXXX, XXXX states they did not receive my last payment. At that point I paid this to XXXX XXXX XXXX. It is still showing as a collection account and the terms are showing one month. My wife keeps calling this company asking them to remove this and they keep shutting her down and stating you knew you were calling a collection agency and you paid a collection agency! We paid it because we had no choice because XXXX asked us to. My wife was told this account was not being reported because it was less than a month. We paid this account immediately when we found this error. This is hindering my ability to obtain a mortgage all over {$280.00}! I need this removed and I can not get anywhere with this company. They are ignorant and treat my wife like she is a low life who does not pay the bills. I do not have any other negative information on my credit report but this. It has been 3 years and they are still reporting negative information all for {$280.00} that was paid immediately.
