Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MN
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 in her XXXX year of XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX and the University of XXXX in XXXX, TX. She has taken out a number of loans from various financial companies to finance her XXXX education, including XXXX XXXX Loans and Citibank. She has always been prompt in asking for deferral or forbearance until she completes her program. Recently, she discovered that XXXX of her loans with Citibank had been sold to XXXX and then, in a very short period of time, resold back to Citibank, declared delinquent and then turned over to a collection agency. At that time, the debt collectors then began calling me to demand payment of the full amount. No one at any time contacted me about the past due status of the loans, nor did they contact her either by phone, voice mail or letter. The fact that the loans changed hands XXXX during this time frame has made communications very difficult and confusing. I should note that XXXX has loans with Citibank that ARE in deferral, adding to our frustration and confusion. Both my daughter and I fully intend to honor the debts. Had Citibank or XXXX acted in good faith and communicated adequately at all, this would have been avoided. All we ask in this complaint is that the XXXX loans be removed from delinquent status, that XXXX be allowed to pay the past due amounts and that repayment of the remainder of the XXXX loans be deferred until she completes her program in XXXX 2016. I would also ask that my credit reports from the reporting agencies be repaired by removing these delinquencies.

Company: ERC
State: CA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
I am filing this complaint because I recently received a collection notice from a company called Enhanced Recovery Collections. 
It was a collection notice for an XXXX account. 

Even though I do n't agree that I owed XXXX anything, I started doing some investigation. However, because I was never notified that there was ever any money owed until I received this notice from ERC, I called ERC to ask for more information. I called on XXXX XXXX of 2016. The representative who I spoke with employed the stereotypical collector attitude. And after long deliberation, the representative told me that if I paid him this account in a settlement, that he would make sure that this would never be placed on my credit report. Although I was skeptical, the deal sounded too good to pass up so I went ahead and paid him. 

Fast forward almost 30 days later and I have a big problem. After reviewing my XXXX account, the ERC collection for XXXX that I was told would never appear on my credit report ended up appearing on my credit report! It shows as a paid collection. 

I understand that this may not be a problem to some people but it is a big problem to me. For XXXX, I was lied to and given a false promise in order to get me to pay an account I did n't even agree I owed. That is not only morally wrong but it is also illegal. Secondly, because I was lured with a false promise in order to pay this account, my right to dispute and have this debt validated went out the window. Now I am very furious. 

Under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act XXXX XXXX. False or misleading representations, " A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. '' The collector at ERC did just that. He told me this would never hit my credit report if I paid them and I did under the premise that this would never appear on it. If I knew that what he said was a lie, I would have simply disputed the account since I still do n't think I owed it. 

I have spent many years making sure my credit report is in good standing to let a lying collector simply ruin it. If ERC does not delete this account from my credit report then I will sue them. Please look into this for me because who knows what other things ERC is doing with people in their collection attempts. If they lied to me to get me to pay this, who knows who else they lied to.

Complaint:
I have disputed with Transunion, XXXX and XXXX a Bankruptcy on all three of my credit reports that they stated they got the information from XXXX and the XXXX XXXXXXXX. I contacted XXXX and ask them to provide me with where they got this information from and XXXX stated that the data being reported was unverifiable and that they removed it from my report and that they reached out the the bureaus to have them remove it as well. I have sent the bureaus several letters asking them to remove it and the only bureaus that has responded back is TransUnion and XXXX. XXXX will not respond back at all. this has been going on since I sent my first letters to each bureau on XX/XX/2022. I asked the XXXX XXXX if they give this information to the Bureaus and they sent me a letter stating they do not give this information to the Bureaus. I attached that letter along with the letter from XXXX and they still will not remove this information and stating that the information is accurate. TransUnion also stated that my previous request they received with my information included, was not from me or a properly authorized third party. I stated to TransUnion that they were advised by me on XXXX, XXXX and again on XXXX by certified mail that I questioned the accuracy of a few items on my credit report. That request was written by me and mailed by me- not a third party agency. This is not right and it is a violation of the fair credit reporting act.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX is an illegal lender in the state of XXXX. I have tried to call them many times to address issues I am having with repayment. The company is unwilling to work with me. I told the company I was having some health issues and they demanded to look at the amounts I was paying for treatment through my bank account. They were also requiring a doctors note to assist with payment arrangements. The loan was {$900.00}. I have since paid {$1500.00}. 

Their agreement also does not allow customers to revoke XXXX. Their agreement states even if you revoke XXXX, if there is still a balance due, they can continue to draw on your bank account which is not legal from my understanding.

Company: TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
State: IN
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Complaint:
My car was repossessed on XX/XX/2017. It was a Sat and all the businesses to get the situation handled were closed, so I had to wait until Monday. That Monday ( XX/XX/2017 ), I called Toyota and the first man that I spoke with told me that the amount would be {$710.00} and some change. I informed him that I could pay that and he said that I needed to wait for a letter that states the rest of my fines and that they had 3-7 days to get the letter. I asked what fines and he stated that of the towing company. With that being said, I called XXXX in XXXX which is where my car is. I asked them what the amount was going to be to be able to get the car after I pay Toyota and they stated that they were waiting for Toyota to send them the letter and without the letter they ca n't tell me anything. We have been struggling and I understand why they took the vehicle but I have been trying to pay Toyota now for 5 days and today marks the 7th day that my car is still in the impound. I have no idea how much money is accruing everyday on their lot, Toyota wo n't even let me pay them and I have no idea what else to do. I am XXXX and just wanted to get the situation handled as quickly as I can and Toyota is making it impossible for me to get my car back. I have been willing and offering since day 1. My husband and I were struggling to make payments and have told Toyota that we understand why they took the car but that we just want to get it back. I have spoken to managers, I have called at least 3 times a day since that Monday and still have gotten nowhere. I have appointments coming up ( I have XXXX ) next week that I have no idea if I will be able to go to because I do n't know when they are going to receive this letter that they keep talking about and not taking a payment. Everyday the cost increases. We are already struggling and the process to get our car back only racks up more charges and makes it more and more expensive. They say that the letter is required by the state but I have not seen anything in my research about this letter but what I have found is that I am not the only one in this position. They have even taken full payments before and still make their consumers wait 10 days before being able to get their cars back. Ridiculous. I am a willing customer who understands why her car was repossessed and have tried and tried to pay to get my car back and am constantly being pushed back. My husband is on the road and I have no other means of transportation and I am XXXX. I do n't know what else to do and need help.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: VA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
My student loan account with AES/XXXX  was opened on XXXX XXXX and the account became active for repayment on XX/XX/XXXX. 

The account is closed and was paid in full on XX/XX/XXXX. This bank has been inconsistent in their reporting of this account, particularly by reporting it in good standing only after I filed a dispute and even then, they only updated 1 of the 2 credit bureaus with the accurate information. There are several months over several years where the data for payment and other account information has been reported as 'Unknown ' or not at all. 

Further, the first date of delinquency on this account was XX/XX/XXXX which is over 7 years ago yet this bank has failed to remove this account from the credit bureaus. All three credit bureaus have stated to me that the accounts should be removed. I contacted this bank, both by phone and mail, requesting that they update my credit reports. Instead of removing the accounts, they cherry pick a payment date and confirm it, keeping the accounts on the credit file. I spoke with this bank today, XX/XX/XXXX, and they attempted to do the same thing. 

They have failed to take the appropriate and lawful action to correct my credit profile. I have suffered as a result of this negligence in higher interest rates and credit denial. As a statement of fact, I have 13 other accounts on my credit file, all with exceptional payment histories. AES/XXXX  is the only adverse account on my credit file. This bank has been so negligent in their reporting that they reported the status of my payment for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX as OK but then reported the status of my account for XX/XX/XXXX as 90 days past due. How is it possible to be 90 days past due in a month where the previous two months were reported as OK/Paid? This is but one example of the gross negligence of AES/XXXX  regarding my account. 

This gross negligence and neglect to my account in the credit bureaus appears to have been intentional as I have made this known to this bank numerous times. I am requesting that this account be removed from all three credit bureaus immediately and not reported to them again, as it has been over 7 years since the first date of reported delinquency. My next step will be to take legal action. I am also reporting this matter to the State Attorney General 's office.
