Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
In XXXX an unknown company reported a collection on my account. I disputed this on XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX with Transunion. 

After some research, I determined the account was related to an old account from XXXX. It was an old electricity bill that I never received when I moved. I was made aware of it in XXXX, paid it immediately as agreed, and obtained a release of debt from the original creditor / agency ( XXXX XXXX / XXXX XXXX ). At that time in XXXX I disputed the charges, provided my release of debt letter, and it was removed from my reports with all 3 bureaus. 

Providing the release of debt letter this time around, resulted in only 1 of 3 bureaus removing the information ( XXXX removed it but the others did not ). Not only is the debt more than 6 years old ( possibly past the statute of limitations ) and already settled and paid as agreed, abut the 2 agencies in question are reporting it as a new collection with a date of XX/XX/XXXX. 

Recently, I applied for a mortgage and noticed my scores with XXXX and XXXX are over XXXX points worse than my scores with XXXX. This error on their part is costing me significant money in addition to the time I've spent and frustration I've felt in dealing with this error. 

XXXX doesn't even have a way to dispute the item, when I log into their system it doesn't show up as an item that can be disputed. I had to dispute it thru XXXX XXXX.

Complaint:
I filed a dispute with Transunion on XX/XX/XXXX to delete the erroneous reporting of an alleged debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is not the first time that I have requested that they verify that this alleged debt is accurate but each time it is returned as " updated and verified. '' It is my belief that their investigation practices are faulty as the other two major credit bureaus promptly deleted the entry on my report because it was not accurate. I would like to know what Transunion was able to verify that the other two credit bureaus were not.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: TN
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to document significant issues with my current student loans and request remedy. I should not have to stay with a variable interest rate. I have attempted to apply repeatedly to a lower interest rate. I have been continuously denied with no explanation as to why. When I call customer service, they ask me questions regarding income, and then tell me that I was denied, but they do not state why. When I have asked, they have stated that they are not sure why, I was just denied. I have never missed a payment, my lowest credit score is XXXX, and I have excellent credit history across every account I have had with any company. I deserve a fixed interest rate at a lower percentage. 

The amount that I owe now is more than four times the original principal, despite the fact that I only completed my education and licensure in the fall. I feel preyed upon and Navient will not offer any remedy, despite multiple attempts to work with them ( email exchange with Navient attached ). I took out {$46000.00} in student loans at age XXXX to pay for school expenses including books and tuition. I assumed that there would be some interest, but I didnt understand what a variable rate was and the impact that this purchase would have on my well being and livelihood. 

I am currently a licensed XXXX XXXX  and I have to work five jobs to pay my monthly payment. The interest only payment is approximately {$2100.00}. I have to pay above the interest to make even the slightest dent in my principal. As a result, I work a full-time job Monday through Friday, and four part time jobs including XXXX at two separate universitys and doing XXXX XXXX at two separate companies. This is not a sustainable practice, I am often exhausted and unable to properly care for myself and my family, I am also a mother. 

I have reached out to Navient multiple times regard additional payment options. I was denied twice via telephone and once via email for loan refinancing. The person I spoke with was unable to state why I did not meet the requirements for loan refinancing, they stated that they enter my information into the system and are provided with the options. The people I spoke with were also unable to tell me what had to be done in order for me to meet loan refinancing requirements with Navient. Additionally, I contacted Navient and was notified that they are unable to modify or settle any of my loans for a lesser value. 

Principal Current balance Variable interest rate XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This student loan experience is overwhelming. I am hopeful that, with your assistance and advocacy, I can have a reasonable monthly payment and pay off the principal I owe rather than extreme interest. 

Respectfully, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I sent dispute letters to each bureau for investigations into inaccuracies on my consumer report.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
Dealing with loanDepot 's local mortgage originator was a joy ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ).  The person with whom we worked with took the time and effort to explain the process to us from start to finish. To lock-in a rate, we 've provided him with our personal and business tax returns, and a list of our assets and liabilities. Unfortunately, this is where our good experience came to a halt. After telling our loan officer that we 've decided to pursue a 15-yr loan instead of a 30-yr, he flat-out stopped responding. Did n't answer his phone or voicemails, did n't return our e-mail. This is a person whom we 've entrusted with our new home. To make matters worse, loandepot saw it fit to print out our ENTIRE credit history, financial assets, complete with our FULL social-security numbers, dates of birth, bank account numbers, etc. Basically, EVERYTHING you 'd need to steal identity and credit. They simply mailed these to us, by good-old US Postal Service, without tracking or signature requirements. And since the packages had so much paperwork, they did not fit through our mail slot, and were thus left UNATTENDED in front of our house, for anyone to take. At a day when identity theft is rampant, and major companies like XXXX have compromised our personal data, loanDepot 's complete lack of good judgement and care in safeguarding our most valuable information left us completely flabbergasted. I choose not to upload photos of any of these documents given how much valuable personal information they contain, but if CFPB requires them, I 'd be happy to submit them later upon request.

Complaint:
PENN CREDIT CORPORATION is a collections account that appears on my credit report even after I paid it off and they refuse to remove the paid collection from my credit report even tho they got me to agree to a settle and delete. the only reason i paid it is because the representative from Penn credit said he would take the account off of my credit report if i agreed to pay him and i did but now the account a year and a half later is still onn my credit report as a derogatory mark and it is affecting me buying my first home and when i called they told me they don't remove the account and that the gentleman that i paid to pay the account off lied to me and that i was out of luck. 

this is a violation of my rights as a consumer and my credit is being harmed even after paying a debt in full.
