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

I was provided with incorrect information twice. on XX/XX/11 I was told that the account I was complaining about would be reported correctly on XXXX. I called on XXXX and was told I need to call the dispute department so they could add the account ( that did not make sense to me at the time but I did it anyway ). I spoke with the dispute department who told me they coud n't add an account and I can't dispute information that's not there. I asked to speak with a manager every time but was told they would just tell me the same thing the rep was telling me. It was extremely difficult to access a manger they fought me tooth and nail before someone finally transferred me. My problem with them is, I have  an account that is not being reported on Equifax but is reported on XXXX and XXXX. The creditor of 20 years told me multiple times that they are reporting it to Equifax but for some reason, Equifax is not reporting it. Equifax has by far been the worst agency to deal with, and I am a subscriber of their premier credit monitoring plan. I still have not had this issue resolved. Other creditors may pull my Equifax fico score and it would be incorrect because of their non-reporting, this would cause me financial harm in terms of higher rates or declined credit.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

on XX/XX/2018 i tried to get my free credit report for online viewing from equifax on the XXXX site. i completed all information but the test questions failed due to equifax 's error in accuracy. the next to last question had a creidtor for car payment which was mispelled severely. i answered none of the above because of the error. the last question asked for the amount of payment. i answered none of the above because the name of the creditor was wrong. the system said i could not get online access. their error. my car payment is paid to XXXX XXXX. that was not even close to the name on the quiz. other issues. i tried to call to put a lock on my equifax report. after going thru their auto system, the system said i would be transferred to a representative, then hung up! i attempted the same with XXXX XXXX and could not lock my file since i did not have a code they said was sent to me. i ended up with a 90 alert. these bureaus are not accountable to the public because oversight is non-existent. to date i am not aware of any consequences for equifax for the great security breach. any other company would have offered free identity theft protection for those affected. at the very least there should be live representatives for XXXX people like me. also, i was able to access my XXXX  report on line and my browser crashed. do i have a way to reaccess this report?

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Two weeks after purchasing a car I received a random letter in the mail from XXXX XXXX. This letter informed me that, after receiving information about my credit score, I would not be able to be approved for a loan. It went on to show that XXXX and XXXX have my credit score at XXXX ... ... and " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' have it at XXXX. This is an absolute scam. My credit score has NEVER been below 800 in decades. I then found online that XXXX has done this exact thing to numerous consumers with page after page of people getting the same results and letters in the mail. XXXX XXXX XXXX is obviously a SCAM and should be thoroughly investigated.

Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

I filed Feedback Case # XXXX Federal Student Aid, and I have uploaded payment records multiple times to My Fed Loan. I am seeking credit for XXXX payments under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Waiver ( I currently need only a few more payments to qualify for forgiveness ). 

I uploaded proof of payment from AES : I uploaded my full payment history from AES, showing the payments made in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. I still have not received credit for these payments. I have been in almost daily contact with Fed Loan Servicing since XXXX of this year, and I filed my complaint with Federal Student Aid on XX/XX/XXXX, and I have had no communication, and the case still says " in review. '' I also provided information showing that if my account shows as " in forbearance '' it was because that was during consolidation, so I should receive credit for that payment. 

I have a job offer, and I need credit for these payments, so I can have an accurate payment count for forgiveness, in order to accept the new job offer. I am more than happy to submit any of these documents for review. Thank you for any help you may be able to offer.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

XXXX was removed from all 3 major credit bureaus because I have no knowledge of the debt that they are claiming that is for me. After being removed from my credit report the company requested that the information be reinserted. According to the fair credit reporting act, section 609 they are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, and all accounts posted to my credit report. They are reporting false information to my credit report.
Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

As it pertains to the credit bureau of XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX and the creditors involved I am disputing the valid nature of 9 accounts listed in this dispute, as circled in the XXXX   credit report attachment. Since XX/XX/XXXX when I first got alerted of my stolen identity, I filed for a police report which was already relayed to the 3 credit bureaus on my originally filings. In my original fillings I disputed the creditors I have filed against and I also filed a police report on XX/XX/XXXX about my identity theft. In order to clarify these creditor accounts as not being a part of the identity theft, I wanted to verify the original handwritten signatures and the original contracts for each of these creditors that were circled in the XXXX XXXX XXXX report. I wanted to file this request according to the section 609 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Please verify these accounts according to my request.
Complaint sub-issue: Charged for a purchase or transfer you did not make with the card

On XX/XX/2019, I received my monthly SSI deposit to my Direct Express debit card. I happened to be up around midnight and saw the deposit appear. A few minutes later I saw mysterious charges being made which I will outline below. P.S. I live in Rhode Island and was no where near Florida  : XX/XX/2019 Deposit from SSA - {$2300.00} -- -- -- -- Fraudulent withdrawals and purchases : XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX FL - ATM {$1000.00}, XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX FL - ATM {$500.00}, XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX FL - ATM {$.00}, XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX FL - ATM {$23.00}, XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX FL - ATM {$.00}, XX/XX/2019 XXXX, XXXX, FL {$500.00}, XX/XX/2019 XXXX, XXXX, FL {$360.00}, XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX FL - ATM {$80.00}, XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX XXXX FL {$3.00}, There are no other purchases/withdrawals made in Florida as I closed the card IMMEDIATELY upon watching the account get drained. All other charges on my card are mine. I just noticed the XX/XX/XXXXcharges - apparently, whomever did this made these purchases a few minutes prior to the XX/XX/2019 monthly deposit. 
I have NEVER given my card or card number to anyone in FL. I don't know anyone!! These charges are so clearly fraudulent and it is extremely upsetting that this situation remains unresolved. I've had to take a loan from my bank to pay my rent, my bills, food, etc. SSI is my only income. I have XXXX XXXX  and am unable to work. I pray this can be resolved.

But has not called me back for days, I am filing a complaint, this is crazy, That conversation was even on a recorded line so he should not even go back on his word.

Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I contacted Equifax credit reporting on XX/XX/2020 to alert that I had some items on my credit report that I was disputing. This was necessary because I knew that I would probably need to secure a loan due to the COV19 issues that were beginning to drown XXXX XXXX. Equifax alerted me that they had contacted the companies and the reporting companies submitted automated validation of the debt. 

On XX/XX/2020 I sent certified letters to the companies asking that they provide the same validation to debt to me that they provided to Equifax including documentation in the form of ledgers, signed forms, etc that support the debt. 

The companies did not provide validation in the 30 days as required by the FCRA. Therefore, I sent a letter to Equifax to advise them of the results of my debt validation request. 

I believe that Equifax has not acted in good faith with requiring that the companies valid the debt they are reporting. Secondly, the companies did not act in good faith by providing me with the debt validation documentation that I requested. 

I am now asking for CFPB assistance because these incorrect issues on my credit report are causing me irreparable harm. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and your urgent assistance to survive. Thanks

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

I have student loans through Great Lakes Educational Loan Services. On XX/XX/2019, I submitted a custom payment ( on top of my monthly due of {$700.00} ) to pay off the balance of a loan ( token 25 ) in the amount of {$1100.00}. This money was misallocated and divided across my other loans. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I tried to pay off the balance of Loan # 25 again, along with another loan ( token 19 ) in the amounts of {$650.00} ( for # 25 ) and {$280.00} ( for # 19 ). I have proof of these requests in my account, however, the payments were still missallocated and distributed to other loans. This is causing me a lot of stress as I want to pay off my loans and stop adding interest but they aren't allowing me to do that.
