I made an overpayment of the amount of {$1200.00} on XX/XX/XXXX of 2020 to accout number XXXX To Ally Financial inc . So I call them and ask them if they could refund the amount and I was told that they could refund the amount and that they would process it for a refund of XXXX, so I waited and didn't hear from them and didn't receive a check in the mail so I called them again and they stated that it was denied because it was processed for process before my car payment was processed so I would have to make the car payment 1st so that it wouldn't be late and then they would put the process of the refund in. So I waited and then I call them back because I did receive anything and they stated to me that it was supposed to be mailed out XX/XX/XXXX so I waited again another 2 weeks and then I call them back to let them know that I did not receive anything. I asked for a manager again and they said it was denied again because the requset for refund of the payment was put in and again my car payment was in process so again it didn't go through. So again they stated that I would have to make a payment for XXXX otherwise my carpet will be considered late and Any request for the refund will not process.So I made the payment for XXXX and it will process on the XXXX and that on the XXXX they would personally process for a refund of the {$1200.00} and that I would not have to call back and everything was taken care of So then I waited and then I called back again on XX/XX/XXXX because I did not receive anything and I told them what was happening and the first thing I was told by customer service was that there was a payment made out in XX/XX/XXXX and I told them no that's not correct that it was denied and was never processed and then I asked for Corporates number and I was told that They did not have corporates number and that they could not give it to customers so I ask for a manager again The manager stated to me that it was denied yet again and so then I asked for a regional manager and for corporates number because this just continues to happen over and over again. So then the manager Said that they will try to get ahold of the payment department but they could not and that she would call me back when with the information and I stated no because that's the problem. You say that you will and you never do. So the manager stated to me that she would put the payment refund process again and I told her no because I can tell you how the process gon na go and they're going to deny it again and ask me to do another pain man and it's gon na keep on happening over and over again.So I said I want to speak to a regional manager So then she stated that she was transfer me to superviser and was put on hold when she came back onto the line I was told that the supervisor will call me within 1 to 2 hours but I have not received a call from them yet.

Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I started going to XXXX in XXXX Colorado XX/XX/2013. I took out 2 loans because my financial aid wouldn't cover it all. One loan was for {$3000.00} and the other was for XXXX. The only money I received in my hand was a check for XXXX because they said that isn't the way they do things. Now on my credit report years later I have a loan for {$5500.00} with one acct number that was issued on XX/XX/13 as a student loan, and 2 direct loans with the same acct number for XXXX and XXXX, which include interest. Those 2 loans are probably the right loans. If you add the other 2 loans together, they add up to the same amount of the loan that I am unaware of. Please help me. This isn't right and to boot I have another new loan that is on my credit report from another school. How can the government just hand out student loans to people without verifying their identity?

Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

My name is XXXX XXXX. I have been fighting with FedLoan services for quite sometime. I have obtained a lawyer ( XXXX XXXX ) to help me fight against them. Long story short, ( XX/XX/2017 & XX/XX/XXXX   ) their website payment and email system had many flaws. Emails would indicate that a payments are over due. I would visit their site to make a payment, but no where on the site would it indicate an amount, nor would it indicate which loan was due. I have many loans with FedLoan from school. So I would make a payment so that I could at least make some payment so I wouldn't impact my credit, I still continued to receive emails saying I owed money. So I called to see if I could get a consolidation so that I could get a single payment with no confusion. The representative said he would pause payments until he could get approvals for me to get a consolidation. And that if I saw credit late notices on my credit to disregard them and that it will eventually get removed. Well, they never got removed, nor did they seem to want to remove them ( " Its a late payment regardless is the response i got '' ). So I decided to get automatically payments setup so that I didn't have to deal with these problems. Now I have all these late payments in my history and it's destroying my life. I can not get a mortgage or any other benefits because of what Fedloan services have done to me. I have contacted the Federal Student Aid office to have this investigated. In addition, I have applied to have a consolidation with a new loan office to aid me going forward and i am hoping to get approval so that i no longer have to deal with the Fed Loan service anymore. I have contacted them numerous of times to resolve our differences and they refuse to come to terms to help me. They have also declined a " payment of deletion '' offer that was suggested by my lawyer.

I recently submitted a request for investigation of an Acct Number : XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX B XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Ive submitted enough information regarding the fraudulent account thats open in my name I have provided information for your company to have carried out a reasonable investigation of this dispute. If you had investigated properly rather then using your e-Oscar system you would have noticed that this account is not mine which your companies have claimed to Verified. Since youve obviously neglected to investigate this account thoroughly I am demanding you remove this account off my profile. It is at this time that I will point out the in Cushman v TransUnion, Stevenson v. TRW ( Experian ), and Richardson v. Fleet, Equifax et, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldnt merely Parrot information from the creditors and collection agencies that they have conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and honesty/integrity of the creditors/CA in question. Sending out a generic form through the e-Oscar system that doesnt even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable.

If you dont initiate an investigation regarding my dispute, as it is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Which Im sure you are aware each violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows damages of {$1000.00} should this matter ends up in court. 
I look forward to an expedite resolution of this matter Thank you.

Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to Equifax was XX/XX/2022, but no response was ever received from them to date. Thus, their action has violated the Per Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 605B, which states that the credit bureaus are required to remove/block any account which was opened without my knowledge, consent or authority within 4 business days.

I had a late payment ( {$920.00} ) on my double-cash card from Citi Bank ; I missed its due because I thought I already setup the autopay, but it's reset/disable for some reasons.
