Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: DE
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
This is not a refusal to pay an alleged debt! TRANSWORLD SYSTEM INC claims that I am obligated to pay them an alleged debt associated with account # XXXX. TRANSWORLD SYSTEM INC shall provide me with the original instrument of indebtedness ( signed contract ) or proof that it still exists. If TRANSWORLD SYSTEM INC can not provide the original instrument or proof that it still exists, then TRANSWORLD SYSTEM INC shall send me an original statement affirming that TRANSWORLD SYSTEM INC did not sell the original instrument because if TRANSWORLD SYSTEM INC didn't sell the original signed instrument of indebtedness ; then TRANSWORLD SYSTEM INC should be able to produce the original instrument or note. Only the holder has the right to collect on an instrument and an instrument is not a typed or printed statement or payment history that lacks a signatory. I will pay the alleged debt when TRANSWORLD SYSTEM INC produces the original instrument or proof that it has not been sold, which proves that I am obligated to pay TRANSWORLD SYSTEM INC. Also please produce the trilateral contract between me ( consumer ), XXXX XXXX, and TRANSWORLD SYSTEM INC that shows I agreed to do business with TRANSWORLD SYSTEM INC XXXX with DELMARVA POWER or on behalf of XXXX XXXX. Truth in Lending Act as well as the freedom of information act says I am obligated to have proof of the original instrument of indebtedness. Again, this is not a refusal to pay but instead I am exercising my federally protected rights as a consumer!

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
Early in 2022, I noticed an issue on my XXXX credit report. This issue was a mixed file between me and my sibling. The mixed file resulted in XXXX of their accounts appearing on my credit report and mixed up personal information. I began by filing a credit report dispute to XXXX to rectify the issue and received a response on XX/XX/ 2022. This resulted in the personal information being corrected but none of the 3 accounts being removed from my report. After calling the banks associated with these accounts, 2 of the accounts were promptly removed from my credit report. For over 6 months, I have been repeatedly calling the final bank : the Apple Card by Goldman Sachs, regarding this issue. I have called them and explained the mixed file issue and the report dispute that I have already filed with XXXX. This was done at least XXXX times. I have also called the Apple Card by Goldman Sachs line with my sibling on the line to have us both explain the situation. This was also done multiple times. Each call ended with assurance that someone from XXXX will reach out within 4 weeks to rectify the issue and that a dispute would be made to correct it. No tracking information was provided, no response has been given in over 6 months and the account is still on my credit report.

Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
I called Sallie Mae to place my account in forbearance but the agent handling my case refused. He kept reinforcing that there isn't any options to postpone the payments. Meanwhile, the male agent begin to mock my tone of voice. Irritated, I asked to speak with his manager.

After being transferred to his manager, she restated that I don't have any option of putting the account in forbearance, because of some plan they unknowingly reenrolled me in. 

Initially, I agreed to a repayment plan for 6 months. The 6 months were up but I continued to pay down on my loan. Due to financial hardship I am now unable to pay, so i called to get repaying postponed, but they denied any form of helping me.
