Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
On  XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX , I was approved for a {$680.00} monthly IBR payment based on my tax information and ability to pay  (  see attached letter ). My status has not changed since that time.     I have paid {$680.00} each month using the  Direct Debit  feature ( see attached document ). Occasionally, I will pay a little bit more in monthly finances allow.     My most recent Monthly Statement indicates I continue to owe {$680.00} per month under the terms of my IBR  Plan   (  see attached letter ).     FedLoan Servicing unilaterally and without warning/notice increased my monthly  Direct Debit  amount to {$1300.00}.     If there was supposed to be a change, FedLoan Servicing did not send me any emails or letters. The last account-related email I received was tax documentation  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  see attached ).     I wrote and demanded an explanation on  XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX  ( see attached document ). FedLoan Servicing failed to respond. I sent a followup email on  XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX . The reason I wrote was because I wanted any and all explanations in writing in case this happens in the future or in the event a service representative reneges on promises or assurances  (  unfortunately, this is common with student loan companies ).

Complaint:
Experian is failing to comply with FCRA Sections 605B and is also in breach of Sections 616 & 617 for willfully non-complying and neglecting to adhere to the rules and laws of the FCRA. I have submitted 7 complaints informing Experian that I was a victim of identity theft. Experian is failing to block or remove the accounts from my report. I followed their guidelines. I filed a report on the FTC website, I specified how the identity theft took place, that I did not benefit or receive goods or services from the alleged accounts, I validated the identity theft with a federal law enforcement agency ( which they're claiming I haven't ), I submitted the identity theft reports, provided a report circle the fraudulent accounts, an affidavit from the FTC website & provide a photo ID for their records. Experian has claimed the accounts listed below have been verified and are accurate. I'm truly confused by their antics/tactics on how to report this issue but they are ignoring this dispute and failing to comply with the rules set forth in the FCRA. I need them to be held accountable & have the following accounts blocked/removed : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2019 I sent out a letter disputing a fraudulent USAA account with XXXX. They came back and stated that the account had been verified by USAA. 

In XX/XX/2019 I called USAA about the fraudulent account, they stated that they were unable to locate this account in their records. I also sent them a letter, in which they received on XX/XX/XXXX, requesting the original business transaction that shows my signature for the item they are reporting on my credit. I have yet to receive anything from them. 

I reviewed my credit report today, XX/XX/2019, and I saw that the account had still been reporting on my credit report. 

I called XXXX  about the account, in which they had just opened a dispute on XX/XX/2019 again with USAA. I sent the letter in since XX/XX/2019. I informed them they they need to block the account from reporting until proof is provided otherwise. They refused to block the account and stated that they will wait until USAA provides information to verify the account. I asked how was it verified the first time since they don't have any information to verify that the account was mine. They couldn't answer the question and only provided a vague response that a dispute is opened. 

Both the other credit bureaus ( XXXX  & XXXX  ) have already removed this fraudulent account from my report, however XXXX  has failed to do so and it is negatively impacting my credit. I am unable to obtain a business loan as a result of this erroneous account.

This account is not mine, and I have NEVER done business or signed a contract/agreement with the original lender or the third party that is inaccurately reporting.

These accounts are unknown to me. Also, the information you provided on some accounts are DELETED from other bureaus and I have doubts in their accuracy and the reported payment history on some accounts are a mystery to me. As required by FCRA 605B ( c ) ( 1 ) ( C ) Authority to decline or rescind. 

( 1 ) In general.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: VA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Complaint:
On 2017XXXXXX, my checking account was overdrawn by {$170.00}. My savings account was linked to the checking account for overdraft protection, and I had setup automatic overdraft protection in the event that my checking account was ever overdrawn, and a {$12.00} fee would be applied for any automatic transfers resulting from the overdraft protection of my checking account.
<P/>
On this date, my savings account balance was {$5.00}. Since my checking account balance was - {$170.00}, the automatic overdraft protection was initiated and my savings account balance of {$5.00} was transferred to my checking account to cover the deficit. Luckily for me, I have the financial support necessary to deposit {$510.00} into my checking account via the bank 's mobile app to cover the deficit in my checking account, and I spoke with the bank support team and confirmed that they {$5.00} would be transferred back to my savings account and I would not be charged the {$12.00} automatic overdraft protection fee since I made the {$510.00} deposit to bring my checking account balance back into the positive.
<P/>
The basis of my complaint is that the amount automatically transferred from my savings account into my checking account was not even sufficient enough to cover the {$12.00} fee that would have been applied to the overdraft protection transaction, let alone cover the deficit in my checking account. So the net result would have been - {$6.00} ( {$5.00} minus {$12.00} fee ) being applied to my checking account balance of - {$170.00}, and I likely would have incurred an additional overdraft fee of {$35.00} on top of that since my checking account balance would still be in the negative. This type of exploitation is a perfect example of the predatory fee practices that banks practice which significantly contribute to lower income individuals being unable to climb out of debt and perpetuates a vicious cycle of high interest payday loans and hefty overdraft fees required to keep an account in " good standing ''.

Planet lending is charging XXXX in Default escrow fees for paying the taxes and insurance. However, Im a XXXX vet and have homestead and XXXX vet exception. 

The amount supplied on XXXX to the amount supplied on XXXX was a result in {$12000.00}. They refuse to reduce the {$55000.00} in fees because they want to stick it to XXXX XXXX! This phone call was recoded by Planet Lending where you will here the representative tell me why they wouldnt help. My principal balance was {$330000.00} and now I owe {$390000.00}.
