Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Ive had a loan with AES since XXXX. Ive always been on time with AES paying on time with no problems. In XXXX I had some financial Issues going on internally. My bank account weas locked due to a claim going on and a couple of my AES payments were sent back. With no notice or warning or information provided AES blocked my online access. I am unable to go online and view my account, make online payments, make telephone payments or see the status of my loans, interest charges or update information. I have called AES and asked them if I could speak to financial management who blocked my account and they said there is no way i can talk to them at all to explain my situation. I can provide information to them why my account was blocked. AES has no desire and made no efforts in working with me to resolve this situation. When i am able to wait hours to get on the phone with AES I called and spoke with a representative, he told me i can only send in checks or XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to AES. I was still suffering from financial issues and AES did not help in the payments I could make. I sent in a check when i could and AES did not put the money on the desired loan I previously spoke with a AES employee about. As a result my loan defaulted. AES also abuse customers with interest rates. My principal balance hasnt gone down at all. I have been paying interest for 5+ years.
Complaint sub-issue: Threatened to sue on too old debt

My complaint is from the Very Beginning XXXX XXXX was very Cantankerous & trying to bully me around over the phone. Then later I received a Notice of Wage Garnishment of {$18000.00} from XXXX. This company did not lend me {$18000.00} they purchased the loan from the Original owner Cash Call who lent me {$5000.00} to pay my Federal taxes. Therefore I do n't believe its Honest, Integrity or Fair for them to try & collect {$18000.00} from me when that 's not the Correct Accurate amount of the Original Loan. XXXX nor cash call ever tried to work with me XXXX just called me all the time with threats & this Ridiculous offers that no one can comply with unless your Rich, not a Normal hard working person that Pays the Correct amount of XXXX legally & Do n't Cheat on their tax returns & say I do n't know I just gave everything to my CPA yeah you know. XXXX are in Violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practice Acts 15USC.1692., Common law malicious prosecution, & they are violating the declaratory relief under the California Finance Lender law 22000, XXXX is also in violation of the Roenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act XXXX Civil Cod 1788, etseq.

XXXX  XXXX has confirmed that it was in fact fraudulent and they send me a letter confirming that they have reported the fraudulent activity to all 3 credit bureaus. Equifax did not remove the inquiry. I submitted a complaint on the CFPB. on XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax responded that a letter was sent to my address with their response.

Data that was being reported on date of last payment has now been removed leaving nothing to show by all three bureaus. Payment history, Equifax deleted OK as agree and replaced it with consecutive charge of all the way. This is not acceptable and I do not tolerate this type of inaccuracies.

I spoke with the supervisor of Equifax, her name is XXXX, in regards to having multiple accounts removed. As a natural person, who is federally protected I did not give this consumer reporting agency written permission to furnish any accounts on my consumer report according to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). It is an invasion of my right to privacy pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). Also, according to 15 USC 1681a ( e ) factual information shall not be included on a consumer 's credit record. This consumer reporting agency is in violation of three federal laws. I demanded her to remove the accounts referencing federal laws as a protected consumer exercising my rights. 

I have recently requested the accounts to be removed with them before. As shown in the attachment Equifax removed one of the accounts. I am demanding for the rest to be removed as well.

I've sent them numerous documentation to prove the errors that exist on my credit profile but to date they have not corrected any items on my report.
