Complaint sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

I previously requested to dispute a bankruptcy that was reporting on my XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXXCredit reports! I contacted each of them individually to dispute the errors and requested that the entire public record be deleted from my profile. None of the company 's contacted me directed with the results within 30 days. I later learned requested a copy of my LexisNexis consumer profile only to learn that they were the one 's who misreported the public record. LexisNexis was the furnisher of this item and has since deleted it from my profile. The letter that LexisNexis submitted to the CFPB showed and confirmed that they deleted the bankruptcy item in XX/XX/2020. LexisNexis failed to advise and notify the credit bureaus of their deletion so the creditors continues to report the bankruptcy in error. The credit bureaus also never verified the public record as being a valid item. I am requesting that everyone DELETES THE INCORRECTLY REPORTING PUBLIC RECORD EFFECTIVE IMMEDITATELY! I have attached a letter from LexisNexis confirming deletion! I have also contacted emailed Pacer to find out what information they have in their systems and they too confirmed that they are not reporting any type of information for me to any credit agencies or 3rd party consumer agencies. DELETE THE PUBLIC EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY! You have already exceeded the original 45 calendar and business days allotted via the FCRA guidelines for verification and investigation of this matter!

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

I believe the school has falsified my information to get me approved for a loan for school. I explained that I did not have a job when applying for school. I was told it was not a problem now that I am in school I am constantly being harassed and threatened about the monthly payment I am supposed to be making while in school. I have been told I will not be able to get my diploma unless the monthly have all been paid when I complete the course. I know of several other students who have the same complaint. I was not aware of the terms of the loan I feel I was misled and I would like clarification.

Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

When I checked my credit record, I just discovered a billing problem. Under U.S. Code 1666 ( b ), billing errors include any computation errors or other accounting errors on a statement, as well as the creditor 's failure to appropriately reflect a statement, a payment made by the debtor, or a credit line extended to the debtor. There shouldn't be any late payments on these accounts because, as far as I'm aware, the creditor did not send me a statement 21 days earlier. Below is the list of the disputed accounts. XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$25000.00} - I would like to confirm the payment history and status of this account. I believe this account is reporting inaccurate information. I was never late on this account because I always make my payments on time. I keep my own payment records and the record you present do not match with what I have. I request a thorough investigation for this account and update for legal and lawful accuracy.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

OPINION by experience- I am totally disturbed that I a consumer are being incorrectly by them and third party users hence impacting our ability to get favorable finance and if we do at a usurious rate. I submitted another complaint the other day only to receive a warning from this reporting agency my credit use has gone up! FALSE! Their current report shows balances From XXXX!!!!! They are incorrect and get this lower my use of credit and do NOT increase it as they warned! When I dispute they basically kiss me off with they will wait until the bank posts the correct amount. IF this is not fraud then what is? My score has dropped almost 30 pints on illegal and incorrect processing and it is NOT maintained in a timely fashion. When the XXXX is capability, honor, integrity and ethics going to come to this so called agency as well as yours- protection for who- them? Is it not time you stopped professing something you are NOT?
Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

I have reviewed my credit report and found wrong, inaccurate fraudulent accounts in my report.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

I had an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. ( account number XXXX ) I paid it on time and paid it out this month. I also was cosigned on another XXXX account that was charged off. ( account number XXXX ). XXXX has mistakenly placed the " charged off status on the current account ( ending in XXXX ) that was from the latter account ( ending in XXXX ). 

To prove this I have provided a copy of my credit file from XX/XX/XXXX where I circled the 30/60/90 days late indicator showing " zero '' in all of those fields ... .and that reported to the credit bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I then provided a copy of the files from TWO MONTHS LATER that now showed " 25 times 90 days late '' and was reported in XX/XX/XXXX. Now this account could not have gone 25 times 90 days late IN JUST TWO MONTHS. 

This is a clear violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I sent XXXX letters asking the consumer credit bureau to delete an account from my XXXX credit file. XXXX did not delete the account from my credit file.

The creditor agreed that I'll pay XXXX on, or before XX/XX/XXXX in exchange to delete the account from my credit file. I paid the creditor in full XXXX with the first payment beginning on XX/XX/XXXX and the final payment on XX/XX/XXXX, before the expiration date. Attached to this statement is the entire transaction history of the payments made by me to the creditor, I also sent the transaction history to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX.
Complaint sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

To whom it may concern, I sent in several disputes, disputing the inaccuracies of the bankruptcies on my credit report. The credit bureau sent a letter stating that the information was verified and has the US Bankruptcy Court as the address where the information was verified. I called and sent a letter to the US Bankruptcy court and they stated that they don't verify information with the credit bureaus. The credit report shows the liability amount as XXXX which is inaccurate and they have removed the bankruptcy and put it back on my report without a 10 day notice. Equifax has also deleted two other accounts off my credit report then put them back on. Those accounts are XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am submitting the complaint due to lack of investigation into my original dispute. This is unfair practices by a credit reporting agency with no concern for the credit worthiness of a consumer

This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. Again, I was going through my records & noticed the fraudulent account which does not belong to me STILL reposting on my file in Equifax. The other bureaus have already DELETED this fraudulent information so my question is why do you still report this damaging record? I have already disputed this account several times and stated that I am an identity theft victim. I even forwarded my FTC report I filed online on their website along with my personal information and documents but still, you chose to continue reporting this account. Credit Bureaus are bound to comply with the FCRA regulation section 605b but you never cared nor paid any attention to my Disputes. You became negligent of the FCRA law and continued reporting this information on my Credit File without Proper Verification or Investigation. Now XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint sub-issue: Problem during payment process

On XX/XX/XXXX, I used the Citibank online app to make a payment. The app stated that there was a problem with the system, please resubmit. I resubmitted per the instructions given. I then failed to notice that the payment had been charged twice until the second one bounced. On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment and again had a problem with the app. This time, the payment was pulled from the wrong account and again bounced. Finally, on XX/XX/XXXX, having moved some funds around, I made another {$500.00} payment and had the exact same experience, the website said resubmit, I did, and it double-billed me. This time, I caught it because of the generally miserable experience I had been having with Citi. 

Regarding the payment on XX/XX/XXXX. The funds were removed from my account on XX/XX/XXXX. They still have not been credited to my account and Citi states that it is because of the prior payment issues. I can understand holding credit until they are certain the funds are available, however, to hold my funds for more than a week after they have been received at Citi through the ACH process is simply unacceptable.
Complaint sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Ive requested that AES/NCT stop reporting information to my credit report for accounts that I am not liable for. I have never held an account with National Collegiate Trust If NCT holds paperwork from previous loans listed below, that information should be provided, showing a complete assignment of the debt from the original creditor. 

National Collegiate bought and securitized student loans. These securitized notes were then sold to debt investors. National Collegiate then hired XXXX to pursue debtors for collecting what they considered to be outstanding debts. 

Federal laws mandate collectors to possess the documents that prove debts they want to collect are indeed owned by the people they 're pursuing. Over 2,000 collections lawsuits that were filed on behalf of the trusts were in violation of the laws. 
In these lawsuits, the trusts do not have or can not find the documentation necessary to prove either that they own the loans or that the consumer owed the debt. 

Valid affidavits must be signed by a witness with personal knowledge of the consumers account records. But such affidavits dont exist for any of these lawsuits. XXXX employees completed and notarized sworn legal documents for lawsuits brought on behalf of the trusts. 

National Collegiate also filed at least 486 collections lawsuits after the statute of limitations had expired, including one against myself in Florida and due to the judges lack of knowledge regarding the private loan process, I decided to settle with the company for {$19000.00} to end all communication and put this behind me. Although, NCT does not legally possess any debt owed by me. 

If there is a class-action lawsuit to help those negatively impacted by National Collegiate and its debt collector, XXXX XXXX, who sued thousands of students by relying on false or misleading legal documents and could n't prove that those being sued were the actual owners of the loans in dispute I would like to be included, compensated for damages, and have the following AES/NCT accounts removed from my credit report : AES/XXXX Bank account number XXXX. 
AES/NCT - account number XXXX. 
AES/NCT - account number XXXX.
Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint 1 : I made my payment early as I often do, though I'm on automatic payments. When you do this, there's a disclaimer saying that your additional payment will reduce your automatic withdrawal payment by the amount of the additional payment. I haven't had the payment come out twice before. It did this time, and when I asked about it, they treated me like an XXXX. I even selected " Principal Only '' for the additional in case this happened, yet they took interest from both payments. This shouldn't have come out twice, but if that's how they're going to run their business, then additional payments that have been marked for Principal Only need to be Principal Only. 

Principal Interest XX/XX/2018 Pending {$100.00} XX/XX/2018 Payment {$120.00} {$100.00} {$18.00} XX/XX/2018 Payment {$110.00} {$110.00} {$0.00} Complaint 2 : I refinanced the majority of my loan in XXXX to another servicer because Great Lakes ' practices are so terrible. The balance left with Great Lakes was a little over {$6000.00}, yet they did everything they could to keep my monthly {$350.00} payment that I was paying when my balance with them was nearly $ 30k. I had to fight tooth and nail to reduce the payment to what it should be. I got through the whole hour-long process on the phone the first time, and was told I'd have to wait over the following weekend for changes to take effect. The changes never came, and the entire {$350.00} was withdrawn from my bank account. I called to see where they were at in the process of changing it, and they claimed they had no record of my call. So I went through the whole process again. I saw nothing still the following week, so I called again. Again, no record of me calling. On the third time, after threatening reporting them, my payment changes were made.
