Sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

Complaint:
I XXXX XXXX states a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on a very poor reinvestigation by one of the largest credit reporting agencies. Even though I showed proof that my education loans were always in deferment and that the balances were eventually taken over by another service agency, I have never made one payment ever to the FED Loan Servicing. This collection agency was only operating as a credit reporting process after the initial procurement of the student loans. The loans were financed privately. This negative reporting is causing me severe financial hardship. The same credit rating states PAYS AS AGREED, while showing an immediately 90-day late payment status while the debt obligations were deferred from payments. This is highly discriminatory. I am a professional XXXX woman and I find this type of credit reporting to be racially biased and I have zero chance of ever refinancing with this abusive rating process. All credit reporting agencies have a responsibility to maintain the strict standards of not only the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, in addition to the high standards of equal rights protections such as the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. I believe that the Federal Trade Commission should have a full investigation on racial inequality when it comes to credit reporting processes and that all credit bureaus should maintain the sensitivity that is essential for fairness pertaining to matters of race. My previous complaint brought no action, even though the negative payment history must be deleted permanently. If I do not receive the proper reinvestigation by the credit bureau against XXXX. I will proceed a complaint with the attorney general of my state residency. This improper reporting process is causing me hard financial hardship that can only be understood by minorities such as myself trying to better their lives through education, and working several full time jobs and raise a family at the same time. My credit report needs to have the negative payment history purged permanently.

State: PA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint:
My daughter is not able to pay on loans that Discover claims that we ( my husband and I ) cosigned with XXXX and were then purchased by Discover. I have contacted XXXX, and they can not help me other than to state that it was once very easy for the student to respond to an email and you were then the cosigner, but steps have been taken in the past five or more years to ensure that the cosigner does know and is willingly cosigning. There is no evidence of our signatures on any documentation, only the printed words " electronically signed ''. 

My daughter defaulted on XXXX loans for which my husband is listed as the cosigner, which is ruining his credit, and we were never notified. We found out after it was already in default because of a credit check. Discover claims that they did not have to notify him because telling the cosigner is " only a courtesy '' and they are not required to do so. 

My daughter admits that she just responded to an email that listed us as the cosigner but did n't realize that she was doing anything wrong because she was following XXXX 's instruction. She does not make enough money to pay back her loans and still survive ( XXXX a month payments on XXXX loans ) and Discover does not consolidate. She tried to consolidate them through a bank but because of the default no one will help her and every time a bank runs an inquiry her score drops even further. 

No one will help us. I 'm being forced to make the payments on the XXXX loans where I am listed as cosigner just to keep decent credit. Discover has a policy that if six payments are made on time that the cosigner can be released, but only if the student has good credit, and that is likely not going to happen quickly. No one at Discover will even talk to my husband about the XXXX loans that defaulted. They can ruin his credit but not talk to him. It 's ridiculous.

Enclosed are the police reports that i have filed and identity theft affidavits. Please investigate and remove these accounts from my credit report or I will have to refer the matter to my attorney and take immediate legal action against you.

I respectfully suggest that you complete your investigation within the time period allotted to you by law, and in the event that you are able to verify this report that you supply me with the name, company address and company phone number of the person having verified the report and a full and complete report on the method you used to perform your investigation as dictated in the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

Please be advised that your failure to complete your investigation and compliance with the law may result in legal action against you. 

I have been a victim of identity theft fraud. I have no idea of any of these accounts. I have never opened any of these accounts. Please review this and remove this as soon as possible.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: KY
Product: Credit card
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint:
Discover claims my payments for their XXXX accounts with them were each 1 day late last month. They raised the amount of my payment on each, charged a late fee on each, and increased my interest rates on each. I filed a complaint with the BBB of the area, and requested contact be made via mail, but Discover started to bombard my home with phone calls. The XXXX time they called, I was out getting groceries and they spoke to my husband, which is against the law. His name is not on my accounts. I mailed my payments in plenty of time for them to get to them, and paid more than the minimum payment due on each! It so happens there was 1 day the mail did not run in XXXX, due to the winter storm, and if in fact the payments did not make it in time, that is most likely why. I have no control over the weather, or when the post office might close, but truthfully, I believe the payments got there, and they set them aside so they could claim late payments. It would n't be the XXXX time they have done this to me. I mailed their payments 6 days before the due date. They usually receive them within 4 days of the time I mail them, so something fishy is going on here. They are ringing my phone off the hook, and refuse to make it right, even after the BBB complaint. They have already called XXXX times today alone, and I know they will call more. I have documentation.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020 I 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 Im being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that if failure to investigate these items within 30 days 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 cost me. My information was also impacted by the XX/XX/XXXX data breach and may have got into the wrong hands of the wrong person.

Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint:
My Credit Report now shows a " Collections '' account regarding a " XXXX '' account from 2011 being collected ( and reported to Credit Bureaus ) by Real Time Solutions in XXXX. I immediately contacted RTS and told them this was not my debt. They did not contact me prior to reporting ( despite having my email address ). 
They advised me to send them a Police Report ( I.D . Theft ) and they would remove it. This was done. They then asked for an Affidavit, which I completed. Real Time Solutions is polite but they are not transparent about the status or anticipated resolution. 
They illegally reported this, they did not contact me prior, and they have not yet removed this despite me complying with every action they 've asked me to take. When I ask about resolution.. they respond " It 's in " Research '' ''. 
I did have identity theft in 2011 and had to change my bank account. I explained this and provided them with a police report. 
There is no apparent resolution, yet my credit report has been severely impacted and I was denied a XXXX card which I needed for work expenses.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
My loan was purchased from XXXX to Green Tree. Since then, Green Tree made a terrible error with my escrow account. They tried to charge me with over {$2000.00} of homeowner 's insurance in my escrow, when I only pay {$590.00}. They tried to raise my monthly payment from {$500.00} per month to over {$680.00} per month. I contacted Green Tree to inform them of their error, but they refused to listen to me. I physically had my insurance agent on the phone to explain to the mortgage company that they NEVER received any recent correspondence from the insurance company as the policy was not due for a few months. THe mortgage company said they would check into it, but it would take up to 10 days to correct. I finally received word that there was an error, but yet, I still received a bill for the {$680.00} per the mortgage payment. The account is still showing past due - when I mailed a check ( I have NEVER been late on any payments in 13 years ). They miscalculated my escrow, and still are not doing anything about the problem.

Complaint:
This complaint pertains to a previously made complaint case number : XXXX filed on XXXX XXXX, 2016. Today I have been trying to access the response on your website because the account has been disabled. During this past week I had a phone conversation with your office during which time they read the response offered by Ditech. I submitted an answer to their response on the following grounds : 1. their answer did address the money over and above my regular monthly payment which was paid over the course of approximately one year to reduce the principle. 2. my son, who has a XXXX became involved after multiple calls to Ditech to address our concerns was not satisfied. We were constantly shuffled around and told we would receive a call from a " supervisor ' that never happened. My son was able to procure an exel spreadsheet not shared with us before. My son and my wife both heard the ditch employee state that it looked like " the account numbers had been reworked numerous times and it did n't look normal ''. We are in possession of this exel document. There was {$7700.00} in " suspended balance '' that was never applied to the principal as intended. This amount suddenly disappeared in our most current statements. They answered that the money was reapplied to the principal. the principal on our statements has clearly not reflected this money. At the very least, they have forced us to pay interest on an inflated principal. Please note that if we are not addressing this with the correct department, we would appreciate a direction in which to go. Ditech will not meet with us because they say " they have done away with personal meetings ''. They have told us a supervisor would contact us in 6-10 days on at least 2 different occasions and now 6 weeks later, we are still waiting for the call.

Complaint:
The collection agency did not send me written statement about XXXX different accounts. Recently, they reported the debts to the credit reporting agencies without ever calling or writing. In the first case, they spoke with me about the dates of service but would not send me anything in writing, so I called the hospital who could no longer provide a statement to me since they turned over the file to the collection agency. In the second case, they simply put it on my report. Reading my credit report should not be the first time that a person finds out about their bill. At the time I was a sliding scale patient at the hospital and had obtained a financial hardship from the Afordable Care Act.
