Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

My loans were transferred in XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX  to MyFedLoan, after I submitted a request to complete PSLF. My ending balance from XXXX when this transfer occurred was : {$100000.00} Upon further research, I requested a refund for payments made between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ( which was the last date I made payments towards my loan ). The amount equals, {$8600.00} towards loans that were NOT closed out. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I requested to MyFedLoan a refund of these payments, they needed documentation from XXXX of my payment history, which I provided from XXXX, and highlighted the payments which qualified for this refund. I was told ( after calling several times ) I was eligible to receive {$7700.00} as a refund, which should take 2 weeks- 2 months. The amount was added back to my loan balance, equally {$110000.00} -- NOT " pending '' - simply readded back to my balance. 

After I kept calling, received SEVERAL different answers from several different reps, I was told this is normal and the refunds are taking more time due to an influx in requests. I then learned that one of my payments on XX/XX/XXXX of {$900.00} was not initially counted towards " payments I can get as a refund '' and I requested that one to be added in XX/XX/XXXX. I received a check for {$900.00} a few weeks later and my new student loan balance read {$110000.00}. I continued to call MyFedLoan with attempts to have this issue escalated in order for me to receive this payment of my refund, without a resolution. I was then told my loans would transfer to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ... and they still currently do not have my information until XX/XX/XXXX. 

I am submitting this complaint, as I am still owed {$7700.00} that was requested in XX/XX/XXXX. I am not sure where to turn at this point, but have been scammed out of this money - repayments will be resuming soon, with accruing interest, on this amount that I have not received back. 

Please advise

On XX/XX/17 I learned that millions of customers of Equifax had their data compromised in a security breach. I checked on Equifax 's website and it was confirmed that I was among one of the victims. While I understand that Equifax is also a victim in this attack, they are requiring their customers, such as myself, to manually file fraud alerts and credit checks. Equifax should be doing more to take care of this issue for every single one of their customers. Additionally, the fact that a major company that is involved with countless amounts of sensitive data is not prepared for an attack like this is unacceptable. Now my personal information is available to attackers and I have bear the burden of an increased chance of identity theft for some time to come.

Complaint sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising or marketing

Recently I went to acquire a new vehicle for my own personal use for school and picking up my children to drop them off to and from. On XX/XX/XXXX I called DriveTime in an effort to purchase a vehicle and I went over all the details to make sure I was good before I got there ( as I had an appointment the next day ). They then explained to me as of recent they do not accept income that shows from any rideshare company but later changed it to say they don't accept any food delivery income as well. I proceed to state to them this is a personal use vehicle and not for commercial purposes and therefore I should not be discriminated on what I may or may not do with the vehicle. Also, I told them that it isn't rideshare and what someone does for a living shouldn't affect their chances at a vehicle. Furthermore, I explained I own already two vehicles so how is this affecting me from buying a car. This shouldn't happen and further consumers should be protected as well.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I filed a dispute with Equifax for an account that I do n't believe to be mine. The XXXX dispute was submitted on XX/XX/XXXX claiming fraud. The dispute was resolved within days saying that everything was verified. I submitted a second dispute also stating fraud on XX/XX/XXXX. I requested verification and a signature from them. This dispute was also completed in a few days and i received the same cookie cutter response from the first one. I submitted my third dispute on XX/XX/XXXX telling them once again that i needed the signature from this collection agency as proof and that this was fraud. On XX/XX/XXXX they sent me the results. It was the same message from the first two disputes. I had called them to try to explain what was going on and requested since the collection agency was reporting to the credit bureau while this item was being disputed and they failed to provide me the correct information, that i wanted this removed immediately. They are still reporting this. I am more than willing to bring legal action against both the collection agency and the reporting agency if this is n't resolved. I need assistance with this please.

Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

My credit score has always been in the mid to high 700 's, with no late or missed payments and a steady decrease in credit card debt. My mortgage company, XXXX, advised me on XX/XX/2018, that my mortgage had been sold to a company called XXXX. My mortgage was and continues to be current and, in fact, my latest mortgage payment was made on XX/XX/2018. 

I check my credit score regularly and was astounded to see that XXXX and Equifax had decreased my score by over 50 points, because it was reported that my mortgage account with XXXX had been closed. It was later noted that my mortgage loan had been transferred. I went online, only to see that scores of mortgagees had seen their credit scores drop by as much as 100 points due to the sale or transfer of their loan to a different mortgage company. 

I checked with XXXX and Equifax, both of which told me that there was nothing that could be done until the new mortgage holder began to report on time payments, which could take up to three months. When I checked with both XXXX and XXXX, I was placed on a conference call with both entities, both of whom sympathized with my situation and indicated that the score would be repaired within 1-3 months. 


I would like to know how a mortgagee, without fault, delinquency, missed or late payments could see a credit score plunge simply because his/her loan had been transferred by the original mortgage company to a new entity? What if someone needed to apply for a loan? What is the potential damage to a mortgage holder with such a dramatic decrease in a credit score. Is this even legal? 


I would appreciate your investigation of this practice, since my experience is not isolated, as my simple XXXX search indicated. All I typed in was " My mortgage was sold and my credit score plunged '' and there were multiple accounts ( some even worse than mine ) of instances where credit scores were dramatically damaged without fault or legitimate cause. I pity the poor soul who does not monitor his/her credit score and who applied for a loan, only to be subjected to a humiliating failure to obtain credit.

XXXX XXXX is reporting I owe them a total amount of XXXX dollars. After numerous attempts to contact the agency and ask for debt verification and debt validation as well as a sign contract with this agency ( which they were unable to provide ) but instead sent a bill from XXXX. I have reached out to the credit agencies and I am not getting any responses to the discrepancies on my credit reports are reporting inaccurate information as I have never had an account or signed contract with this company. 

This account has come back verified but what actual proof did they verify because they still did not provide a contract I have specifically with this company. I reached out to this company over 30 days ago and have yet to receive a response from anyone.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed

ProCollect wa s enlisted to collect on a debt from  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  - the initial bill from the service provider was never received.  ProCollect  sent several requests for payment during our Ch.  XXXX  bankruptcy, which was successfully discharged in  XXXX   2014 . Since that time,  ProCollect has placed the invalid debt on my credit profile several times. I have requested ProCollect to provide the original invoice from the service provider. To date, they have not responded. Instead, they again added the debt to my credit profile, without providing the proof of validation. I received a phone call from someone in their office who was rude, argumentative, and ignorant. I do not appreciate harassing phone calls. Debt validation is standard practice for firms operating with integrity. ProCollect is not one of those firms.

have contacted the Credit Reporting Agencies on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX about the hard inquiries on my credit report and have been told to contact the companies who requested the report and to have them deleted. I called XXXX and have been told they do not delete hard inquiries even though I did not authorize the inquiry. I called back to Equifax & XXXX to advise them of the statement from XXXX. I have disputed the inquiry via telephone calls and via the internet and I have been continuously told by Equifax & XXXX the hard inquiry will not be deleted even though I did not authorize anyone to check my credit file. I am asking for your help because I am given the same answer which is not fair to me as the credit when I did not not ask for the hard inquiry with XXXX. I have continued to request a deletion to no avail. Please advise if you can assist me with this.
