Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

I have received a copy of my credit report and noticed that there is information reporting to my credit that does not belong to me. The following information listed in this report I have no relation to. This has hindered me to be able to build a good credit profile. Under FCRA 605B I am requesting that this information is removed from my credit report within 4 business days of receipt of this information. I have contacted each creditor and they have failed to provide me with any original documentation stating that I owe a debt to these creditor. Failure to comply will result in a litigation process against all parties involved including any agency reporting fraudulent information to my credit profile. 

The following information is fraudulent.

Complaint sub-issue: Company closed your account

Discover Bank closed my account when I called them to inquire why my credit limit had been lowered! They admitted their error, but refused to reopen my credit card account!
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I closed my Macy 's credit card in XXXX, 2020 and in XXXX, 2020 I paid the credit card off in full. In XX/XX/2020 I was sent a refund for overpaying my account. In XXXX, 2020 Macy 's charged my account ( which had been closed since XXXX XXXX {$11.00} and did not notify me at all. As a complete refund for the overage was sent to me in XXXX and the account was closed I still am not sure what the {$11.00} is for but in XX/XX/2020 they reported me 30 days late to the credit agency for the {$11.00} that they still had not notified me was due. I have an excellent payment history with this company and I have tried several times to call them but I get transferred or hung up on or told that they can not remove the 30 day late payment and another company reports for them. I asked to speak to that company and after being disconnected 3 times and having to call back and explain all of this over again to Macy 's I finally get transferred and was told that it would be removed immediately. Then I receive a letter from Macy 's saying that they can not remove it because the payment was late. Nothing about how the payment even placed in the first place or that I was not notified at all that something was put on my credit card that was closed and had been closed for months.
Complaint sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

I did not authorize XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX XXXX GA XXXX to run an inquiry on my credit report.
Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

On XX/XX/XXXX I saw a 'collections ' on my credit report at XXXX XXXX for XXXX dollars from XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX This was unrecognized charge. I filed a dispute with XXXX. XXXX stated that the results of the dispute showed it was legitimate. 
XX/XX/XXXX I contacted ProCollect debt collections. They confirmed this charge under my social security number, yet could not provide a name associated with the account. They also FAILED to provide me a debt verification letter. The {$130.00} debt was assigned XX/XX/XXXX and I have NEVER received a debt verification letter. Furthermore, XXXX XXXX XXXX, the employee I talked to at ProCollect, stated that the debt had already been paid but could not provide any details as to how or who paid it. This was not me. I am VERY concerned about identity theft and immediately requested on Procollect 's website a debt verification, as instructed by XXXX XXXX. It has been a week and they have not gotten back to me. I am filing this complaint because of ProCollect 's FAILURE to provide an initial verification letter when the debt first posted, so that I could dispute its validity, and filing this complaint because now they still are FAILING to provide debt verification when I am ready to report identity theft to the authorities.

Complaint sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Discover Card issued me a card in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX it stopped working. They needed a IRS form submitted to verify my tax return. That was completed XX/XX/XXXX through XXXX Verification services. I was told 7-14 days to get it back. Then after that date came and went I was told 30 days. That date came and went. I was then told " we are having issues getting the forms back due to staffing ''. Okay so what next. Wait another 30 days. I have completed that. I called in today to be told we have " no idea when we will get this back and unfortunately without it we cant release your card for charging privileges until we do ''. They refuse to take a certified copy of the IRS transcript, they refuse to help in anyway. I find it ironic I can get a copy instantly on IRS website. My mortgage company got it in 72 hours when I recently bought a home. Yet my credit card is " frozen '' and they refuse to help me fix this.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Disputed Same collection Account/ Amount from creditor with a diffrent collection agency ( XXXX ) already.

All major credit bureaus removed derogatory mark from my credit report a year ago.

Now new collection agency attempt to collect asking to settle and harassing me.

Why is it possible for the creditor to continuously send my information to other collection agency if account has been previously disputed/closed and they have full acknowledgement of that?? Who is responsible and how is this fair to the consumer ( me )??
Complaint sub-issue: Banking errors

I tried working with citibank regarding an error committed by them. My account had money STOLEN from me by XXXX XXXX and I was told I was an error and it wasnt their fault. I then went to citibank to fix it because they knowingly let it happen and just sat there. It was {$1300.00}. I have contacted citibank numerous times talked to supervisors on XXXX the supervisors names were XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX . XXXX did try to help and work with me so kudos to him. The investigators were sent documentation and proof the money was already paid to XXXX from another account on XX/XX/2019. They then quickly closed the investigation and said not their fault. I then have appealed the decision on XX/XX/XXXX of 2019 so I could get my money back or at least a provisionary amount to which I was denied. I talked to XXXX XXXX about this situation and was told that no matter what I did citibank will not change their mind. I just want my money back so I can leave citibank forever!! I have documentation to back up my claim.

Complaint sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

I called Equifax to dispute inquires that I know for a fact were not authorized by myself. These inquiries should not have been allowed to be placed on my file since I did not authorize them. They were not court ordered, for employment, insurance nor for an offer of credit for myself. My dispute came back verified and I know this to be u true as I never attempted to gain credit with ANYONE other then a credit card! This is unsatisfactory and AGAINST THE LAW!!

Complaint sub-issue: Problem lowering your monthly payments

I have a total of 5 loans. Two are in my now deceased mother and my name, One is just in my name, and two others are in my father and my name. Since my mothers death we contacted Salle Mae and asked about if there could be in reduction due to not having an income to support the loans initially made. The total student loan debt originally was over 150k. They told us no, the did lower the interest rate for a period but what we missed was while we paid the lower interest rate they added the difference in rate to the balance. As you can imagine, that was not helpful. Since we realized they were doing this we went back to the standard rate but in order to pay these loans I have to have my father pay two of them himself because I can not afford all 5. My father is ready to retire and this over {$800.00} a month payment is extremely difficult and puts a strain on our relationship and pressure to me. He will be on a fixed income and straddled paying my debts and debts acquired when my mother and he were financially separated because I can not afford the payments on my own. When we contacted SallieMae on her death the only consideration was to remove her name from the loans and make me fully responsible ... that was not helpful. They offered no reduction and again only a temporary interest rate reduction that only added to the outstanding balance. Which I felt was pretty shady. 

I looked to refinance the loans but because they are SallieMae they are not eligible to due so. I am left with a HUGE debt that I will be saddled with for several decades if not longer. They really offer no solution that is doable to reduce these costs and I am at my wits end trying to keep up with the payments. 

These loans and the costs of them were not laid out properly to me when I was in school and I had no idea of the amount of debt and time to pay this off would be. In addition, the death of my mother whos income was over 100k prior to her death has added additional stress. SallieMae has made no solution available that does not just add to the balance and continued repayment term.

Set this up so my first deposit would arrive on XXXX I used Comerica Bank in past ( up until XX/XX/ ) before changing banks. Input my card number correctly too. Checked three times.

Spoke to two different DIRECT Express reps. They can not see my SSDI funds, even though were in fact sent to Comerica Bank. I called direct express cs again at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX EDT on XXXX  Spoke to a supervisor. Told me my Direct Express Card number is not active ( Cards beginning with XXXX ). Now use a card beginning with XXXX something something.she is seeing my {$1500.00} SSDI deposit on my new card ( which I do not physically have ). She then transferees me to correct department, but I can not input my social security number, as it is unrecognized. I could not leave a message or leave a request for a callback.

Complaint sub-issue: Denied request to lower payments

My husband left me and our XXXX children, all under the age of XXXX, in XXXX. Im a single mother supporting them on my own with zero help from him. In XXXX, I requested a deferment for two payments XXXX XXXX and XX/XX/2019 XXXX to help me catch up and be able to make the XXXX payment on time. I was told by a representative that once I make the XXXX payment, which was behind, that they would send me the deferment paperwork and the two payments would be deferred with no fees to be paid up front since this was a hardship. I paid and never received the paperwork. I called in XXXX and they told me it had to be in before the end of XXXX. I explained I had never received it. I was then told that I had to qualify again. They told me once more that I was approved and no fees would be added. I received the paperwork, signed and emailed back the same day. Last week, I noticed that the due date online still showed as XXXX. I called and was told the extension couldnt be processed because I had to pay {$180.00} in fees up front. I told them that I was told I didnt have to pay that and that it would be waived by management due to the circumstances. The representative I spoke with said she did see those notes on my account and that she would let the deferment department know to go ahead and process the extension. I then get an email today from a XXXX XXXX with the lender and the email is stating again that the extension cant be processed without a {$50.00} fee. Clearly, I can not pay this as the whole point of the extension was because I was behind and needed to get caught up. I was told by multiple representatives, including a manager, XXXX XXXX, that it was approved for two months with no fees. I keep getting the runaround with this company.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

I had XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. They gave me a XXXX  to wear at the hospital. It was to big and it rubbed on my XXXX. 
I contacted XXXX and I went to 2 different locations at the hospital to exchange it. I finally had to go to the XXXX XXXX in XXXX. 
They didnt have a smaller one do they cut the one I had which didnt work either. 
So I never wore a XXXX so they were going to order a new one but insurance wouldnt cover a 2 nd one and I wasnt able to exchange my original one because they cut it. 
A month later they said they got the insurance to ok it and then they ordered it. By the time I finally got it I picked it up on my way to my appointment at the XXXX XXXX for my follow up. At that point they told me I didnt need it any longer. It was 6 weeks in between my XXXX and when I got it. 
I received a bill a month later and I called and the insurance never said they would pay. 
I called 3 different times trying to resolve this and they would tell me they would look into it and get back to me. Not once of the three times did they get back to me. I tried returning the XXXX being I never wore it. They wouldnt do that. 
I dont feel it was my responsibility to pay for something that I never was supposed to. 
I would like this resolved! 
Thank you XXXX XXXX
