This company Afni reported this old XXXX account on my XXXX and XXXX credit report originally back on XX/XX/XXXX.

This is about the Equifax data breach. The breach lasted from XXXX through XXXX. The hackers accessed peoples names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and, in some instances, drivers license numbers. They also stole credit card numbers for about 209,000 people and dispute documents with personal identifying information for about 182,000 people. I am one of the many impacted by this data breach and want to highlight the impact it may have had or will have in the future, given the size and scope, true impact may never be known.

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

We were working with XXXX XXXX XXXX on a car loan that we fell behind on. It was no more than 60 days behind and we were working with our account manager to make up the payments and make sure it did not get repossessed. We had a series of payments setup so that we can make the current payment plus the past due payment. Well days before the next payment was scheduled to be taken out, which was scheduled by XXXX themselves, the vehicle got repossessed. We then went in to the bank the next day to pay the past due amount plus all the towing, vehicle storage, and bank fees that were accumulated due to XXXX not keeping their word. This should have never happened as we setup an agreement with the bank to ensure this situation would not happen. We have attempted to verify this in writing through the credit bureaus, but they have not provided us with any sort of breach of contract that would have resulted in a repossession ; and they are reporting it incorrectly.

I have a mortgage showing on my XXXX credit file from XXXX XXXX. This mortgage was obtained in XX/XX/2002 by my mother. We both have the same name and I'm certain this is probably why her mortgage is was mistakenly placed on my report. The mortgage is not negatively affecting my report, however I am now trying to obtain a mortgage myself and this is causing a problem for me. When the home was purchased I was only XXXX old at the time which would make it impossible for my to obtain a mortgage, I was only in the XXXX grade. I have made attempts to have this removed so that I can start my home buying process but it has been a hassle. My mother and I do have the same name, however our social security numbers, age, and other things will verify that this mortgage DOES NOT belong to me and I am requesting that it is removed from my XXXX  report and any other report it may be reporting on.
Complaint sub-issue: Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language

On XX/XX/XXXX at approximately XXXX MST, I attempted to contact the company XXXX XXXX about an old debt that I wanted to try and resolve. They transferred me to another one of their agencies who I tried to explain the issue to and offered a settlement of 20 % of the balance. They had already doubled the amount in fees over the last year. The agent then laughed and said they wouldnt do that. I asked to speak to a manager after realizing I was just losing my temper over the behavior of the agent. When the agent went to transfer me she called me a XXXX  tool & when I asked her why, she got extremely rude and hung up on me. I called back, got another agent & immediately asked for a manager and the second agent also has rude comments. When I spoke to the manager, he didnt seem interested in resolving the issue. This collection agency should not be licensed. Just try to talk to them. I can call them and let you listen. I understand I may not have had the most pleasant response to the treatment I received but this collection agency does not want to resolve debt. They want to harass you.
Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Enhanced Recovery Company ( ERC ) is reporting an account with XXXX on my credit reports. I sent a letter ( see attached document ) to ERC requesting that they validate the debt. I asked for specific documents including the agreement between them and the original creditor, the original contract with my signature on it, a complete payment history for the account, proof that their company is registered to collect in my state and other information to validate this debt. ERC failed to supply this information. Yet, they continue to report this account on my credit reports in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
Complaint sub-issue: Charged for a purchase or transfer you did not make with the card

On or about XX/XX/2019 I noticed while looking at account a lot of pending charges that occurred in the XXXX. I new I didn't charge it so I called till blue in the face and I finally got a person on the phone from Direct Express. I explained it to her and she stated there was nothing she could do while the charges were pending. I got off the phone and called a bunch of times with no luck. I the looked at the card for the bank that was backing Direct Express. The gentleman from this company got someone from Direct Express to assist me. With that I filed the complaint and was told Direct Express would send me paper work to fill out and fax back before XX/XX/2019. I have never gotten the paperwork and time is running out. He had in front of him all my info on my account and was going trough the fraudulent charges from the XXXX.

Last contact with them was XX/XX/2019 spoke with XXXX he gave me this number : XXXX. Direct Express was good to me until I needed help. I feel they dropped the ball completely.

Ive submitted all the above documentation 3 times with no result.
Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

I obtained several private student loans through National Collegiate and Trust between XXXX and XXXX to pay for expenses while I was going to college. Due to a death in the family and several financially difficult situations, I used the available deferment on my loans so they would not default. I graduated in late XXXX and, after moving to a new job in XXXX, was finally able to pay the full amounts due each month. I have paid my loans on time for since XX/XX/XXXX and am now more financially stable than my aging mother who is the co-signer on one of my loans. As this loan also affects my mother 's credit, I called the loan servicing company recently and requested to have my mother released as co-signer. I was told by AES ( the loan servicing company ) that because I used forbearance/deferment in the past, my mother is never eligible to be released as the co-signer. I was never told this would be a consequence when I was given the option of deferment and find National Collegiate and Trust 's policies to be unfair and unclear. Furthermore, they advised that my loans are not eligible for an interest rate reduction ( they are currently at 7.38 % and 8.0 % ), even with an auto-pay option. I can not refinance my loans because of my debt-to-income ratio, despite the fact that I have good credit and make {$61000.00} annually. My complaint is to dispute their unfair consumer practices. Deferment should not bar any future consideration of a co-signer release and if it does, this should be clearly disclosed to the consumer before they enter deferment.

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

Last year in 2018 I filed a complaint in regards to Equifax Credit Reporting Agency. It has blown my mind that a company that does credit reporting and can make or break a consumer would not investigate a claim that was a past due account and is actually mine. I submitted documents that came straight from the apparent company claiming to have a loan in my name. There is not one signature, the address used I never lived at or on my credit file and there is no proof it was actually me. XXXX and XXXX who are the leaders in credit reporting and not being hacked by data breaches sided with me also and removed the fraud account from my credit file but yet Equifax with a blemished record can't see this nor investigated correctly and removed the account. There is not one thing signed on this apparent contract, no drivers license, nothing. I have disputed this account with them directly and got no where. Please look at this information yet again. It is beginning to show me why XXXX and XXXX and the leaders in credit reporting and why creditors only use them.

Complaint sub-issue: Banking errors

On XX/XX/2022, I opened a checking account using promo code XXXX. Using this offer code, I was to be paid a {$300.00} bonus by U.S. Bank if I met the following terms : Deposit {$5000.00} in new money within 30 days of account opening and maintain for 60 days. On XX/XX/2022, I initially deposited {$200.00}. I deposited the remaining {$4800.00} on XX/XX/2022, therefore bringing my total deposited to {$5000.00}. I then held the {$5000.00} in deposits for more than 60 days, until XX/XX/2022. Therefore I very clearly met the requirement to deposit {$5000.00} within 30 days, and hold that balance for 60 days. however I did not receive my {$300.00} credit. I brought this up with U.S. Bank, and they said that somehow the first {$200.00} deposit was " not an eligible deposit '' and therefore I had only deposited {$4800.00}. There is nothing in the attached terms of the offer that says which deposits are " eligible '' vs. " ineligible. '' It just says deposit {$5000.00} in new money, and all {$5000.00} of the deposits were new money. Therefore I am owed the {$300.00} bonus. My spouse also applied for the exact same bonus and did the exact same 200+4800 and they did receive the {$300.00} bonus.
