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

Complaint:
I contacted TRans Union and did an online dispute because they are reporting that I missed XXXX mortage payments. I have not missed payments, my mortgage payments are LATE. a big difference from missed payments. If I truly missed XXXX payments my house would be foreclosed upon. I contacted them twice and they told me both times they are reporting correctly and the information has been verified by my mortgage company, XXXX. I contacted XXXX and they said they are not reporting it as Missed payments, just late payments. I ca n't get Trans Union to update or correct this. I have attached the email from Transuion showing the results of their investigation or the XXXX time and it still shows XXXX missed paymnts on the mortgage. I attached my most recent XXXX statement.As you can see payments have been made and I am missing on payment for XXXX 2015 which actually is sitting in unapplied funds. Nothing on this shows I am XXXX payments behind as trans union is reporting and wont ' fix.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report, To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax, XXXX and XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Complaint:
ARS ( Account Resolution Service ) has not shown or validated that I owe this bill or verified I owe this debt. The company has only provided date of service on XX/XX/XXXX with an outstanding bill of {$1200.00}. This is not adequate proof that I owe this bill. However, I have proof of a XXXX outstanding balance related to the service date of XX/XX/XXXX. Therefore I do not owe. 

I have attached the documentation. 

I wish to have this removed from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX credit reports immediately and for ARS to stop contacting me. 

Thank you.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: WV
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Having problems with customer service

Complaint:
I have about $ XXXX in student loans. I contacted XXXX XXXX and XXXX, and I was able to get the loans placed in forbearance as I transitioned between careers. With all of the bills flying at me, it was my understanding that I had personally secured my loans and assured that nothing would default. However, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to contact me by any means until I received a call one day from a 3rd party. I was unaware of the loans being sold to them, and had never heard of the company. 
By this point the loan was 96 days past due. After 30 minutes or so on the phone, I was able to work out a delayed forbearance plan XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. They stated that three months had already past, so they could only do a retroactive forbearance for the XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX timeframe since I was already behind during those months. 
Confused? Yeah, me too. However, I went to look at my credit statement a week after working out this forbearance, and Navient had the audacity to hit my credit report with XXXX 90-day late fees. When I confronted them about it, they stated that there was nothing they could do about it except reconsider once I sent a letter explaining my circumstances. I 'm sending the letter, but I suspect I 'm not saddled with a deplorable credit score due to circumstances largely outside of my control.

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

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX account # XXXX In early XX/XX/XXXX a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX representative agreed by phone to allow a lump sum payment to be applied to multiple future monthly installments payment on my auto loan. The lump sum payment was a credit from cancellation of extended warranty service that I had not intended to purchase in the first place. I cancelled the extended warranty shortly after my vehicle purchase. 

There were actually two of these payments applied to the principal of my auto loan ( account number above ). One for {$1200.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and another for {$1300.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I requested that the XXXX representative have the second of these payments applied/posted to regular monthly installment payments for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and this was confirmed during that telephone phone call. 

Without any communication or notification from XXXX both of these payments/credits of XXXX and XXXX, were applied directly to the principal of the loan rather than what was agreed. Apparently, XXXX either does not have a policy or ability to do what was agreed or chose not to do it for my particular installment loan. I was given no notification, but found out when logging into the customer online portal. I immediately brought the account current as soon as I realized that these principal payments had been made rather than scheduled as installment payments. 

My account is showing a 30 day late with all three credit bureaus. I have tried to file disputes with XXXX, XXXX, and Experian directly, since this his having an adverse effect on my credit and will prevent me from obtaining a mortgage. I have had numerus phone calls with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to rectify this situation and it has not been resolved. I plan on consulting with an attorney and take whatever action is available to me if XXXX refuses to resolve this matter amicably and rectify their mistake/oversight. 

Please let me know if any further information is required for this complaint.

Complaint:
I had a store card with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I was doing payments on time till I lost my job but the only balance left over was XXXX dollars so I thought if I paid it off it will close the account.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Public record

Complaint:
In XXXX, I lived in California. I had never paid CA state taxes, and in fact, every year I received a refund. When I married a XXXX XXXX man, the military moved us across country in XXXX ; he XXXX shortly thereafter. I had no idea that CA was in the process of incorrectly processing a tax return for me. Truthfully, I felt almost benevolent in that I had not yet bothered to apply for the monies I knew California would owe me. 

They assessed that I owed them {$1100.00}. Not only was their calculation incorrect, but they actually owed me {$350.00}. 

When we applied for a loan, I saw the lien on my account and immediately filed my XXXX taxes, requesting my refund and that the lien be removed from my credit report. The CA XXXX can not remove it from my credit report, because they do not report to the credit bureaus, rather it is made public knowledge, and the bureaus access the public knowledge. I did get a letter from the XXXX that stated the tax return I submitted on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, 10 days after the lien was filed, showed a balance due of zero. 

It is frustrating to see that the lien shows " paid '' on my Transunion credit report, as I never paid a single dime to have it removed, because I owed them absolutely zero, and they owed me {$350.00}. 

Equifax shows no status at all, not paid or released, just ... nothing. 

I do not know what XXXX shows, but it likely is n't much better. 

This is an unfortunate error that is causing serious detrimental effects to my credit. I was never a tax dodging citizen as this blemish accuses, rather someone who was overwhelmed by the new responsibilities of being a XXXX wife, and thinking I had nothing to worry about, as I knew, rightfully so, that I owed no money. 

If there is anything at all that can be done to assist me in this matter, I am immensely grateful for your support and action. 
Sincerely, ( you wanted no personal identifiers, so I will say XXXX XXXX )
