Complaint sub-issue: Need information about my balance/terms

I have been trying to contact XXXX and AES in regard to my student loans made for XXXX school. I have been trying to resolve my debt/ issue. Neither will allow me to obtain information in regard to my status. XXXX did tell me that I am in litigation, but will not give me information on how I can resolve my debt. AES states that my loans are in their specialty department but can not give me any more information. I can access the AES site online, the information there states that my next payment is due on XX/XX/2016, that I have XXXX HEAL loans owned jointly by them and The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency ( PHEAA ). I called PHEAA who told me that I should be able to contact AES and get resolution, but I ca n't. I am locked out of XXXX website and can not gather any information. I did contact Navient but they stated that they can not give me any information. XXXX did give me a phone number for The US Department of Education who advised me that my Federal loans are in good standing. They stated that AES and XXXX should be communicating with me to resolve this issue. They forwarded me to The Ombudsman who reaffirmed the opinion given by The US Department of Education.. I was given this offices information to assist me. 

I am a veteran, XXXX through XXXX, have been homeless and am living in a transitional VA facility where I have been getting assistance in transitioning back to the community. I was hospitalized for 3 months at the XXXX VA hospital for XXXX where I received XXXX- they left me with XXXX but I 'm now able to think and have been trying to attend to things I need to ( such as my debts ). I am also being assisted by the federal government in regard to my debts. I am also being assisted by The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry for the purpose of reentry back into society as well as reentering XXXX. My desire is to get off of XXXX as my treatments have substantially helped my recovery. My hope is that I can obtain assistance in handling my educational debts. While I am not certain, I assume I am in default.
Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

On XXXX I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown items on my credit report. On this day over 45 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel as though I am being taken advantage of as well as being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is clearly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report, as it has been over 45 days, so it should be deleted promptly. I demand this account be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person. 

I feel that these accounts are adversely affecting my credit report and costing me thousands of dollars in interest every year. This is not a regular dispute, as I have filed a complaint with the federal trade commission and XXXX XXXX XXXX because to my knowledge, I do not recall any of these accounts. I need this problem fixed asap, I will not wait another 45 days to receive no response, because it is clear your organization is intentionally ignoring me. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you have caused me. Section 611 ( a ), it is clearly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report, as it has been over 45 days so they should be deleted promptly.
Complaint sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

I AM XXXX XXXX AND I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT ON BEHALF OF MYSELF. 

I have disputing a DISMISSED bankruptcy since XX/XX/2020. It has only been verified by public record which ANYONE can place items in public record! The BK courts can no longer legally verify the information therefore it needs to be removed! Since the bureaus didn't respond to my first complaint I submitted another dispute with them on XX/XX/2020 and again on XX/XX/2020. This is uncalled for the lack of what the bureaus are REQUIRED to do!
Complaint sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

On X/XX/2017, two charges were made to my PNC account from XXXX. One was for {$9.00}, which brough my balance to {$2.00}, and the other charge was {$3.00}, which brought my balance to negative {$1.00}. I was then instantly charged a {$7.00} 'service charge ' by PNC . So my account was overdrawn by {$8.00} after this service charge. I did n't immediately take care of the problem as I have moved states, and was traveling/busy over the next two weeks. This is my mistake. I received a call on XX/XX/XXXX stating that my account was now {$170.00} in the negative. So because of one overdraft charge, and then the bank 's own fee, I owe nearly {$180.00} for going less than two dollars negative. The punishment I received does not match the crime. It 's like executing someone for stealing a loaf of bread. <P/>So I paid it off after unsuccessfully attempting to have them be merciful, and asked them to close my account. Never use PNC. Use a mattress. A mattress wo n't steal from you.

These items listed are not mine and need to be deleted from my credit report XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$4000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$1600.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX {$9800.00} XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$1000.00} XXXX   XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$1200.00} XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$850.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$2600.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX   XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$1800.00}
Complaint sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Phone calls every hour from the same number attempting to collect a {$60.00} fee - which is a late fee on a contested late fee.
Complaint sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

PNC Bank On XX/XX/XXXX, while I was traveling to XXXX Texas from XXXX XXXX, someone used my atm card ( which was NOT LOST ) to purchase items at XXXX in XXXX, XXXX in the amount of {$56.00} and at XXXX in XXXX, Maryland for {$55.00}. I was never in XXXX, Maryland on XX/XX/XXXX or anytime in recent years. I was unaware of these purchases until I tried to use my debit card at XXXX XXXX in XXXX, where it was declined. When I contacted PNC Bank, they told me that they deactivated the card because they suspected fraud, which was indeed the case. They granted me a provisional credit for these 2 charges, and reactivated my card because I was in XXXX, but told me to go to my bank branch and get a new debit card immediately upon my return to XXXX XXXX. I did as instructed, and went into the PNC bank on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX upon my return, and obtained a new card. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed that the bank reversed my provisional credit, recharging me for these two fraudulent purchases. I was unable to reach the bank by phone, so I went into the branch, and I was told that PNC Bank had made a coding error, and had coded my debit card as having been lost. I told the PNC agent that I had not lost my card, but that the bank had deactivated it to prevent fraud, and that I had come into the bank to get a new card, and had then cut up that card, as instructed. The PNC agent then accessed the internal system to correct the internal system error, for the first time, inputting that my debit card had been compromised, and that I had never lost it or authorized its use. She told me it would take about 10 days to investigate, but unfortunately, the bank was not going to issue me provisional credit during this time. I told her that it was unfair that the bank would make me ( The customer ) pay for its internal system error, and that I should have access to my funds immediately, as the bank is the one that should be protecting me, its customer. To date, I have not received this provisional credit. 

In these days where banks want their customers to use their atm cards and debit cards, it is outrageous that the bank should require its customer to bear the cost of its business. I did everything I was told to do when I was told to do it. I never heard from the bank until they reversed their provisional credit because someone in the bank wrongly coded my debit card as being lost. It never was! It was compromised, which is happening more and more each day. How are we customers to survive if the banks make us pay for the cost of doing their business!

Complaint sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

They insisted I owed a medical debt from 2003. They said I had 24 hours, and basically nothing could be done. I had to call 5 times to beg them to just update my contact information, and give me any information on the debt. All they would tell me at first was I had 24 hours, the medical debt was held in-house by a hospital for 16 years then given to them. I tried to explain that I had no problem checking into the debt, but I needed information, since it was 17 years ago. I finally on my 5th call, started by verifying the line was recorded, I said wanted to work with them, gave them my updated contact information, and the lady agreed to give me 24 hours to review an email which came through docusign with no email to dispute this. She told me there was no disputing, and that information would be filed with courts and " turned over to my social '' in the morning. They claim to have camera footage of me entering, and exiting the hospital. I have no way to even look into records 17 years back within 24 hours. They did not want to update my name or address. I was insulted, and hung up on numerous times. I only spoke kindly to them. I did make the mistake of verifying my social security number, which was the first thing they did. There is no legitimate company information or website. Also I have found th exact same scenarios of other 's tied to their phone number.

Complaint sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

XXXX XXXX  account was disputed and removed in XX/XX/XXXX from my Equifax credit report. This was a mistake, at the time of the first reporting account was unfamiliar but in fact valid.This was due partly to the loan being transferred from my previous lender, which I was unaware of at the time of the dispute. Since then, the account has been reported by XXXX the lender as accurate and updated monthly. Yet, equifax still continues to suppress this information and essentially blocking the tradeline. As of XX/XX/XXXX account was reporting creating a fico score of XXXX, as of XX/XX/XXXX this information went missing resulting in a lower fico score of XXXX. This is damaging to my credit score and worthiness as a consumer. Covid-19.

Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

Hello, I opened up a Citibank Account Package on or near XX/XX/2018. This included both a checking and savings account. During the opening process, I included a bonus code XXXX, which provided a {$400.00} account bonus if {$15000.00} was maintained for 60 days. This promotion was open during XX/XX/18 to XX/XX/18, although it appears to be an active promotion. On XX/XX/2018, I deposited {$15000.00} into the account. On XX/XX/2018, the 60 day requirement was achieved. Per the terms with Citi, Citi had up to 90 days to properly fund my account with the {$400.00} bonus. After numerous attempts to confirm my account was in good standing and eligible for the promotion, I was able to finally speak with a CSR at Citi to confirm everything was set for the funding of the bonus by XX/XX/XXXX. Today is now XX/XX/XXXX. I attempted to contact Citi again to ask for the delay with no appropriate explanation. After being on the phone for about an hour on hold, I've decided to give up attempting to contact Citi in an appropriate way. This has gone beyond a reasonable attempt to reach this bonus.

Complaint sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Hello, i have XXXX collection agencies that are currently attempting to collect a delinquent debt amount which i do not agree with, furthermore these collection agencies have yet to disclose information that I requested such as proof of being a collection agency that can operate in California and proof of the contract of the actual debt, accounts recievable that shows the actual amount of debt to be collected and what attributes to these amounts. I do not agree with the amounts, for I think they are innacurrate and these collection agencies have yet to provide proof. 

XXXX Collection agency name : AFNI. 
Collecting {$160.00} on behalf of XXXX for a service or product I never recieved. I do not live at that location, address and do not recall ordering that service or recieving that service. For this reason I want proof, document stating where the debt originates from, the actual line items on a bill, etc. 

XXXX COLLECTION AGENCY NAME.XXXX FL | XXXX XXXX Claiming that I owe {$400.00} for a early termination with XXXX, yet WHEN i called they can only see that {$200.00} was the fee applied for early termination, and they are not certain of where the other {$200.00} in debt came from. This is wrong, and I need once again proof that this debt is accurate by reviewing a document that they recieved from XXXX stating that my delinquent amount will be now collected by XXXX. 

Please do investigate these XXXX companies to see if they have the license to operate as a collection agency in california, and to make them provide proof of my debts and what attributes to the overall debt needing to be paid off. 

Thanks, XXXX
