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

Complaint:
I reviewed my consumer reports and noticed that there was an inaccurate account : XXXX  XXXX # XXXX XXXX. I have contacted this creditor and asked for a copy of the original application bearing my signature of which they responded that there is no evidence or proof of any application with my signature on it linking this account to me. 

XXXX. On my report, the date of first delinquency is being reported as XX/XX/2018, however there are multiple delinquencies that XX/XX/2018 as 60 days delinquent, XX/XX/2018 as 60 days delinquent and XX/XX/2018 as 90 days delinquent. These delinquencies occur before XX/XX/XXXX and neither are being reported as the date of first delinquency. I have contacted Equifax to investigate and update the dates of first delinquency and they have refused to do so and continue to report XX/XX/2018 as the date of first delinquency. 

Equifax has a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum accuracy. 
I have contacted Equifax numerous times and asked for them to investigate and remove this inaccurate account from my consumer report that they are illegally reporting and I requested a copy of the original application bearing my signature and they have not been able to provide such proof to me. 

This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and this disputed item may not appear on my credit report if they can't be verified by any legal evidence or proof.

Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: CA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Problem lowering your monthly payments

Complaint:
Basically I'm the co-signer on my daughter 's student loan with Sallie Mae, a private lender. We had no idea the mess we were getting ourselves into when we took out student loans approximately 7 years ago. This company is a predatory lender and something needs to be done to stop them from continuing to do business. 

My daughter originally borrowed {$62000.00} for college. We found out much later that the loan has a variable interest rate. Never new that was possible except for mortgages. Anyway she's paid on the loan for approximately four years and did utilize some of the forbearance that were available. 

Currently, her loan balance is {$80000.00} and the current interest being charged is XXXX - 15 %. We contacted Sallie May XX/XX/2022 ( on or about ) to ask about payment reduction. We underwent a financial review and the only option given to us was to pay interest only for 6 mos. So instead of a {$1200.00} a month payment, we could pay {$950.00} the interest. Since we didn't see this as helping the situation, we declined. 

So currently, her payment coming up for XX/XX/XXXX is {$1300.00}. I've personally made the payments to bring her account current for XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and will make the XXXX payment but my savings is nearly depleted and these payments are not sustainable. We have both depleted our savings and will have no alternative but to default. I'm making this complaint to see if there is any recourse for us. We would like to keep the loan in good standing but would need a reasonable loan payment amount. This company is ruthless, unscrupulous and they market themselves as helping people!! They need to be stopped!!! If you have any information about a class action law suit, please send it to me. Any other guidance you can provide will be appreciated!! Please reply as soon as possible. Thank you!

Complaint:
I paid off this credit card and it had a XXXX balance on the card- the company has continued to charge interest and late fees even though the card was at a XXXX balance - the company has since charged off the card and affected my credit. There should not have been a balance on this card as it was paid off to a XXXX balance. The company has not sent me any statements and has locked me out of the account. I want the company to remove this negative remark from my credit report and write off the balance as this is not something that is owed.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MD
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I refinanced my Fifth Third bank loan with XXXX XXXX. A pay off check was sent from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( via XXXX ) to Fifth Third bank on XX/XX/2023. That check was received at Fifth Third bank on XX/XX/2023 and signed for by XXXX XXXX ( an employee of Fifth Third ). XXXX records indicate that XXXX XXXX signed for the check at XXXX XXXX. 

After several days passed and the check was not processed ; XXXX XXXX contacted Fifth Third and was told that they were not able to locate the check. The XXXX XXXX agent was instructed to stop payment on that check and to resubmit a new payment. XXXX XXXX sent a second check to Fifth Third ( via XXXX ) on XX/XX/2023 and it was received at Fifth Third on XX/XX/2023 at XXXX XXXX.. Again the second check was received and signed for by XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I contacted XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023 to get an update on the closing of the Fifth Third account. The XXXX XXXX agent told me that he was told that the second check was received in the proper Fifth Third office on XX/XX/2023. 

After receiving this information I contacted Fifth Third. I was told by Fifth Third that I was being charged additional interest on the loan because their records did not show that a payoff check was received until XX/XX/2023. 

I filed a complaint with Fifth Third because I am being charged additional interest because the account was not closed on XX/XX/2023. Fifth Third received a check for {$250000.00}. The payoff amount on XX/XX/2023 was {$250000.00}. Fifth Third refuses to take responsibility for misplacing the initial check that was sent and received by them in XXXX. The difference between the amount of interest I'm being charged and what Fifth Third says I owed ( because they misplaced my check ) is {$1900.00} I was told on XX/XX/XXXX, by Fifth Third, that my complaint was being denied because there was no way for them to verify receipt of the first check " matter closed '' .The reason XXXX XXXX XXXX the payoff check to Fifth Third by mail is because they were not given an option to wire the payment to Fifth Third. I was told by Fifth Third, before any payment was sent, that all excess funds would be returned to me.

XX/XX/2022 Dear XXXX XXXX I am writing to request the removal of a late payment from my credit report in regards to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I understand that a late payment can have a negative impact on my credit score, and I am eager to improve my creditworthiness. I am a service-disabled veteran and run a charitable 501c3 organization www.vetsandhorses.org I am asking that credit one remove the late payments and I am attaching actual screenshots from my bank account which demonstrates that the payment was indeed not late.

I have made multiple attempts to rectify this late payment, but it remains on my credit report despite my efforts. I am now reaching out to Department of Veteran Affairs for legal assistance in this manner.

I have been a responsible borrower many years and have always made timely payments on all my other credit accounts. I believe that removing this late payment from my credit report will better reflect my creditworthiness and demonstrate my commitment to financial responsibility.

I again, respectfully request that you remove this late payment from my credit report. I understand that this is not an easy process and may require additional documentation from me. Please let me know what steps I need to take to make this happen. I can provide more documentation in addition the documents I am currently providing with this letter.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to resolving this matter and improving my credit score. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
