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

Following the receipt of my credit report late last year from the Equifax, XXXX and XXXX consumer reporting agencies, I learned of an adverse account from XXXX. Said account reported to all three credit reporting agencies under account number XXXX, with a customer number of XXXX. 


I never had an account with XXXX. Disputes with the credit reporting agencies were for naught as XXXX merely confirmed the accounts. I complained to XXXX - in writing - and even completed two separate fraud affidavits received by this creditor. I also filed individual complaints with the credit reporting agencies. They were all ignored with an explanation that the account was not misused. 


Once again - I never maintained an account with XXXX. This company ignored my concerns despite evidence of identity theft, a return of the required affidavits, and the existence of a fraud alert on my Equifax, XXXX and XXXX consumer credit profiles. 

I now file my complaint to the CFPB seeking relief.

Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

I called a student loan company that said they would help me stop garnishment of my paycheck for student loans. I was told to make a upfront fee to them. I paid over {$1500.00} to this company as stated in my bank statement it shows XXXX in Florida for the amounts of {$280.00} and there are six payments made to this company. As you can see this company is the same as 77 Elite it is the same address and location. 77 Elite stated I never made any payments and that is a complete lie because as you can see they are in the same address. I think this might be a scam and they just changed names. I have for the past year sent all documents requested but yet this company has not helped stop my garnishment like they said they would. This company has done nothing but constantly say they are working on it and need more documents. How much do you need. They were quick to take my money but have done nothing to help me. They are a scam.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with fees

I have had a credit card with Banco Santander Puerto Rico for several years. I pay my balance off every month on time, so my credit history with the bank is excellent. Even though I was a resident of PR in XX/XX/XXXX, due to a work assignment I traveled to New Jersey in XX/XX/XXXX for several weeks. Since the due date on my credit card was XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed my payment on XX/XX/XXXX from New Jersey, just like I had done several times in the past. Under normal circumstances, 13 days was plenty of time for the check to arrive and be processed before the due date. However, hurricane Maria struck the island of PR on XX/XX/XXXX, which among other things, caused the US Postal Service to stop operations and delay all mail activity to and from the island. For this reason, my check # XXXX in the amount of {$2500.00} ( credit card balance due on XX/XX/XXXX ) did not arrive on time at the bank. This check was reflected on my account on XX/XX/XXXX, 14 days after the due date, and 27 days after I mailed it. To reiterate, my credit card payment arrived late at the institution not because of negligence or inability to pay, but because one of the worst natural disasters that has ever struck PR delayed the postal service. The bank charged me {$60.00} in late fees on XX/XX/XXXX. I  disputed the charges on a letter sent to the bank on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX the bank  replied stating that the charges would not be cancelled because my payment arrived late, even though it was through no fault of my own.

I called Nelnet to request a lower payment option. They told me that I was not eligible as my husband and I combined made too much money. They told me I could do a forebearance, or file my taxes separately from my husband for 2016 and then they could get me a lower payment. This is just ridiculous to me. I am paying the loans, on time, every month, and I 'm paying extra on them when I can. And all of that means nothing to them because they want me on the hook for the loans longer so they can make more money in interest. It 's not a good or ethical business practice. At all.
