Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
My loans were transferred to AES in XX/XX/XXXX. I have never been late with AES. My credit reports from XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX have not shown any late payments. Now in XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX  days late entries for XXXX loans appear on my credit report for XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. My loans began servicing with AES on XX/XX/XXXX, when I received a welcome email. How can I be 60 days late in the first months with AES? Also, why is this appearing on my credit reports XXXX years later? 

I have disputed directly with AES and through the three credit reporting agencies. AES states that they feel no adjustment is necessary and my credit reports have not changed. This inaccuracy tanked my credit score. AES should not report inaccurate information about student loans or borrowers.

I am writing about XXXX XXXX XXXX inaccurately reporting 90 days late in XX/XX/XXXX. I have reached out to the creditor and reporting agency countless number of times to REMOVE this inaccurate and false information. I have been going back and forth with the credit bureaus Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX for over a year and I have been lied to.

Every time I reached out to them to let the credit bureaus know MANY TIMES and asked for proof and they told me it was verified as accurate. WHO verified??? Well, I have attached my entire account history from the U.S. Dept of Education dating all the way back to XXXX, and it states that my loans were in deferment from XXXX of XXXX until XXXX of XXXX, NON-DEFAULTED. When a student loan is in forbearance, a payment is not required. Thank you credit bureaus for NOT accurately verifying this information.

Complaint:
I am appalled by the inability of the Credit Bureaus to properly investigate my Credit File and remove the disputed fraudulent accounts and information that are still reporting on my Credit File. Again, I was a victim of identity theft and I am submitting this CFPB Complaint as another request to remove the information from my credit file resulting from the identity theft. Per FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), the Credit Reporting agencies are required to remove any accounts and information not later than 4 business days after XX/XX/2022. Ive already included this report in my previous letter & I am including it again. Also, the information you provided on some accounts are UNKNOWN to me and REMOVED from other bureaus and I have doubts about their accuracy.

Also, the Credit Bureaus have claimed that the Disputed items are verified and are reporting Accurate information thus they continued reporting the disputed items. However, I never received anything as proof of verification let alone any documents bearing my signature. If the Credit Bureaus continued their erroneous reporting, please understand I will initiate legal countermeasures.

Complaint:
My brother XXXX XXXX owned a checking account with USAA and he died without a will on XX/XX/2022. I am his sister and I have been managing all his affairs. He had no assets other than a car that is owned by XXXX XXXX  and a bank account at XXXXXXXX XXXX that I have closed with a balance of {$1.00}. All his banking was completed through an account with USAA electronically. I have been trying for two months with phone calls, faxes and emails to have this account closed and the statements sent to me so that I can complete the notification to his creditors. I have submitted his death certificate and the affidavit from the surrogates office listing me as his administrator. They wanted me to return there to add USAA as one of his assets and I did that for another trip and expense. Each time I fulfill their requirements they tell me they have 15 business days to review the account and they never contact me. I call them and I am once again told that I need to complete another affidavit- as Executor- when he had no will and there is no Executor. Then I am promised a return call and never get one. I have been living through this nightmare for over two months now and getting no help.
