CCS COLLECTIONS acct number XXXX XXXX XXXX acct number xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx XXXX XXXX xxxxxxxxx XXXX Equifax has not complied with my request for them to follow the law.

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

To Whom It May Concern : I am having issues with XXXX XXXX accurately counting their monthly payments as qualifying towards Public Service Loan Forgiveness. I began paying my first payment pn XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX XXXX   and have been on qualifying repayment plans since then. I have also completed at least three separate Employment Verification Forms since then, which have been accepted. I have always made automatic on-time monthly payments while working for approved employers. I worked full time for a non-profit organization from XX/XX/XXXX to the current date without a break in service. XXXX XXXX informed me that some monthly payments have not counted despite no changes in my employment status and the lack of any late payments or forbearances. I have never applied for any type of deferments or forbearances. Customer services representatives give me different information each time I call. Ten months ago, the company initiated a recount of my qualifying payments. Since then I have requested ( in writing ) documentation of the other alleged deferments and forbearances as well as a list of which monthly payments have not qualified as to a basis for the initiation of their investigation. I have not heard from them at all. On XX/XX/XXXX I received my monthly statement indicating that my Qualifying payment under PSLF program was 12. I have made 23 qualifying payments to date. 
As instructed, I submit my Employment Certification Form on a regular basis. I seek the assistance of the CFPB, I've devoted my career as a public service employee and have abode by the rules of the PSLF program. XXXX XXXX is not accurately counting my qualifying payments towards the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. My qualifying payments should be at 23 and each one should be counted going forward.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Equifax ; XXXX  and XXXX  are reporting incorrectly a collection/chargeoff, as well as that I am ( 120 ) days late on the XXXX partial account numbers XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX and XXXX. ( Please see pages attached from my credit. ) These student loans have been consolidated. The bureaus initially corrected the balances to report {$0.00} however, they are still reporting the accounts as late and as a collection/chargeoff. This false reporting of a collection/chargeoff is seriously harming my credit score and all of these line items need to be updated and/or removed from my credit report. It is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to not report accurate information on a credit report. I have contacted the bureaus to remove these however, I have not been successful.
Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

I noticed that there are at least XXXX school loans on my credit report when there should only be XXXX listed open/current/deferred because I am in school until 2020 and they do not have to be paid until then. I am writing you to ask that these accounts that are closed/paid off/transferred be removed as they are effecting my credit. Alot of those loans has intercepted my taxes and is paid off. I am in school bettering my education and is looking forward to improving my credit. With all these negative accounts its making it hard for me to move forward with my life. Due to hardships being in and out of work because a lot of my jobs were short term assignments it made it hard for me to pay off my loans. I ask that you please update or remove my accounts to good standings. With my reports saying I 've missed 12 payments, 10 payments, etc it makes it hard for me to actually get approved for anything. I have been disputing with each credit bureau and I 've been getting nothing but the run around. I 've been hung up on, transferred to different numbers, I 've also disputed and still nothing good has happened. I 've been looking for jobs and right now I 'm receiving financial support for me and my child from family members. I just want to get my credit straight and I believe this is why I cant get a job and I cant get approved for anything because these are reporting delinguent.

Complaint sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

I noticed a new entry of a Collection account on my Credit Report ( CR ) via the XXXX online platform on XX/XX/XXXX. The new entry was from I.C. System Inc. collection amount = {$900.00}. I contacted this company on 2 occasions, however, they seem unwilling to delete it from my Credit Report. This is the problem, it appears that someone used my personal name and ss number to acquire an account with XXXX  in the XXXX, Texas area. They apparently ran up a bill for {$900.00}. and then disappeared. Interestingly, I have an account with XXXX  since they were XXXX XXXX back in XXXX. As of today, my account with Spectrum is in good standing. Please note, The erroneous address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX. XXXX Please note, I have never lived there or have ever visited XXXX, Texas in all of my life. Therefore, it is plain as the nose on a face that this I. C. SYSTEM INC claim is fraudulent. They claim to have my correct name and social security number, but the account is fraudulent as I do not owe the original creditor, XXXX XXXX  any monies. Indeed, I have maintained a XXXX XXXX with XXXX for the past 15 years, and said account is in good standing.

Complaint sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

I purchased 2 CDs in my minor children 's names from XXXX XXXX onXX/XX/XXXX. I divorced and moved later that year and forgot about the CDs until I was cleaning out my file cabinet inXX/XX/XXXX. When I researched where XXXX XXXX was located, found that it was no longer in existence, had changed names twice and was now PNC Bank. I went to my local PNC branch to see how to handle getting the money from the 21 year old CDs. PNC says they have no record of these CDs, no record of my account information, but also has no proof that they have remitted the monies to me. They say that I must have cashed but since they were hidden in my files, there is no way I've cashed as I still have them in my possession. These CDs are auto-renew and fixed, continuous interest method. I was told to contact Channel Services with PNC to which I sent copies of the CDs along with a letter explaining the situation. I received notification that PNC has no record of the documents/account and can't give me any further guidance. I'm told that PNC only has 7 years of records and a transaction this old would not be in their files but the funds have never been remitted to the State of Ohio or to me. The bank has kept my money and not followed the correct process to remit money to the state unclaimed funds or sent to me.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

I never received any notification from XXXX XXXX XXXX about this debt. This debt keeps getting sold from one collection agency to another. I have disputed this debt with the three bureaus and had it removed for failure to validate because there is no contract for this debt. However, each time they sell it to another collection agency it is yet again reported to the bureaus. If there was no validation of this debt with the previous collection agency, there still isnt any with the current and it needs to be removed from all three bureaus immediately.

Vendors can't seem to access my Equifax credit score. My attempts to fix this have lasted six years. Two different mortgage lenders have failed here despite no freeze being on the account and my having sterling credit with the other bureaus. I am locked out of Equifax 's website -- a common enough complaint -- and I am unable to verify my identity to get through their phone system. I have a copy of my credit report from XXXX, but no mortgage broker is able to access the score.

Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

My name is XXXX XXXX and I am the cosigner on XXXX loans for my wife, XXXX XXXX XXXX maiden name XXXX XXXX. On our first loan in the past we attached XXXX notes to XXXX consecutive bills that were sent into Sallie Mae for the purpose of instructions on how to apply payment to our loan. We had paid over the minimum amount and the excess had not been applied to principle. The purpose of the notes was to instruct Sallie Mae to apply the extra to principle so that the loan could be paid down quicker. This was attempted because I had called into Sallie Mae to find out how to apply excess to principle and was instructed to attach a note. XXXX notes seemed to be ignored and after calling in and being told just to attach another note we gave up. Now that my wife is going back to school we applied for another loan in late XXXX. My wife made her normal payment over the minimum for XXXX and we did not receive a bill for XXXX. Because she had paid over the minimum Sallie Mae had taken the excess and applied it for the next payment. This is not how we wanted the payment to be applied. I called into Sallie Mae to find out the current status of the loan on XXXX XXXX, 2015 at XXXX. After talking with someone on the phone I was told that excess funds are kept in an account so that if a payment is missed or under the minimum this account will make up the difference. I also asked why payments are n't applied to principle and the above was explained to me and I asked if they did this so that loans are more likely to be held to the full duration, the response I received was " yes ''. From my understanding it is illegal for Sallie Mae to apply a payment contradictory to the way indicated in the note attached to the payment. I would like to know why our instruction have been ignored and why payments are not applied to the principle. Unfortunately I do not know the dates for which the noted were sent in or calls were first made for this problem.
Complaint sub-issue: Sued w/o proper notification of suit

I found out in XX/XX/XXXX I had judgement entered against me. I was not aware that judgement was entered in XXXX, I was never given court papers. It was explained to me I was served papers by substitution, that is not fair. I can not speak XXXX very well, but I was able to have a friend try to help me settle. They have raised the debt by way to much money and are not being cooperative in settling this debt for a fair amount, even though they never served me properly. I feel like I have been taken advantage of and now being forced to pay a large amount I can not afford.
