I have asked not to be contacted because this debt does not belong to me ( my XXXX account is current ), they continue to ignore that and harass me. Today, they added the account to my credit report.

I've been attempting to remove fraudulent accounts from my credit report since XX/XX/XXXX. I've mailed multiple sets of letters since then, asking the bureaus to investigate and remove fraudulent accounts. Its been over 200 days into something that is limited to 30 days max and not only are the accounts still reporting on my report, they're not even being investigated as I have received no responses. The first letter was delivered on XX/XX/XXXX per certified mail tracking and the follow up letters were delivered on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. It is surprising that the bureaus are blatantly allowed to disregard the federal law under the FCRA and my rights with no consequences. This is my last plea before I take this to my lawyers and sue for damages.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

This particular account situation that is lately filing on my own credit document has a seriously unfavorable relation to my personal ability to obtain a present loan application. I highly recommend you generate verification that Credit Union has been reported completely in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulations, it's really a serious problem to misreport. Moreconfirmation of the aforesaid item too. My proper request mustover, I was never 30 days/60 days/120 days late in any of my payments and I'm not greatly tuned in to the date opened so I prefer to ask you be investigated as soon as possible and confirmed to be correct. Thanks!

Was called by agent at D2 management, I asked for an address after I was told this was an attempt to collect a debt, was hung up on the first time I asked for an address. The second time I called and asked, was put on hold for 5 minutes while the agent located the address then transferred to a supervisor " XXXX '' who was told I didnt need any information from this company and would not be provided an address. She then told me that she wants me to settle on a debt I am not familiar with. I asked her for documentation on the debt and was advised she could not send me any documentation in regards to this debt. I then advised I can not settle on a debt that I can not verify and disconnected the call.

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

We applied to Sallie Mae for a 1-year CD with an advertised rate of 2.35 % on Monday XX/XX/2019 and initiated the process to fund the CD with funds that were available in our main savings account. We provided our personal financial information, bank account information and accurately responded to security verification questions at that time. And then we heard nothing from Sallie Mae - not an email, phone call or acknowledgment of any kind. We weren't given the opportunity to set up an account, a confirmation number or a way to check on the status of the application. Four business days later - on the evening of XXXX XXXX - we received an email from " XXXX '' requesting additional documents that should have been requested at the time of application. We contacted Sallie Mae twice by phone with time-sucking attempts to understand the status of the application. A lengthy XXXX XXXX phone call earlier in the day had revealed the application hadn't been processed after sitting with Sallie Mae for four business days. We during that call were unable to learn when the application might be processed or get information on why the application was delayed. The Sallie Mae representative said she had no way to send confirmation or other details about the application to us electronically. We on XXXX XXXX canceled the application by email. In our opinion, Sallie Mae is falsely advertising returns that are higher than competitors, gaining access personal financial information in the process, and then suspiciously not following through. We on XXXX XXXX turned to an online competitor and opened an account and CD in 15 minutes, with funding confirmed the next business day. Why Sallie Mae didn't do that, with advertising to open an online account at an attractive rate, is a mystery.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

XXXX Equifax and XXXX have to ignored my previous request and failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information and every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. 


To the best of my knowledge this accounts listed in letters attached are reporting inaccurate and the credit bureaus have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in investigating these accounts Due to no response for more than 60 days I would like these accounts removed from my credit Report

Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

My HELOC acct with First Horizon Bank, previously XXXX XXXX XXXX  was charged-off in error in XXXX 2019. I made regular monthly payments to my acct. at the agreed upon monthly amount. XXXX never furnished me with a pymt coupon book or periodic mthly statements. Also, XXXX never sent a notice of them going to do the charge-off, therefore, I was never given an opportunity to investigate and resolve this matter before the charge-off took place. I was treated unfairly and not only has this caused my credit score to drop but I can not get approved for a new mortgage loan to finish paying off XXXX, now FHB. I still am making my regular monthly pymts while adding to my check a statement explaining that I have not received a periodic loan statement to date. I am very stressed out and frustrated that XXXX will not look into the disputed matter more and help resolve it. I have sent proof of all my payments to them, as well as once receiving a letter back from them stating that 2 of my monthly payments were never applied to my loan. They claim one of them was my fault, where my wife accidently wrote the number on top to the check wrong and the other one, FHB claims they do not know where it went. Not getting any pymt coupons or at least a monthly statement was part of the problem with writing the wrong number on the check ( by memory ). Still the bank is supposed to make sure the name of the account holder matches up and I still have not received any credit or compensation for those payments. FHB continues to report a CO monthly to the credit agencies. The errors in not crediting my acct. those payments, I believe, caused a domino affect to where my acct. stayed over due even though I was making my payments every month, it appeared I wasn't in error. I feel the bank is in violation of the FCRA and this matter needs to be investigated and resolved as soon as possible.

In XXXX of 2018 my Citi AA Advantage card had a fraudulent charge so I was issued a new card with a new account number. From that point on this account no longer reports on my credit file with all 3 bureaus. I have written monthly to Citi including sending credit reports asking that they report.

I am the primary and it does not report on mine. XXXX XXXX told me Citi needs to contact the XXXX XXXX support line so they can walk them through what is wrong on their end. I have requested this but still no results. Please help!
Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

I have been working hard towards keeping my credit in a good place and am currently trying to power pay on the Private Student Loan I have with the highest interest, while they ( the other XXXX I have ) are in deferment. The last time I checked my credit score was about XXXX and I contacted First Mark ( the private loan holder ) to see if I was able to refinance and they told me no. I just feel like 8 % is a lot for me to be paying in interest and was wondering if there is in fact a way to lower this loan so the extra payments I am paying will be worth it. Also, they told me that there is no way to put those extra payments ( After making the monthly payment ) directly towards the principle. I 'm also not sure how true this is either.
