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

I have a XXXX account on my credit file that has TWO VIOLATIONS of federal law. First off it was opened in XX/XX/12. There were no payments made on this account ( Account number prefix XXXX ... balance listed {$1900.00} ). Credit Bureau standards are to remove these items 6 years and 9 months from the obsolescence date. This is within that time frame and must be removed. 

Secondly, XXXX has issued a 1099 for this debt. I tried to call and make arrangements on it and they would not accept money. It is against federal law for them to report a balance to the credit bureaus that may not be paid.
Complaint sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Hi, On XX/XX/2020, I received an email from XXXX XXXX that they are terminating my frequent flyer account XXXX which has a balance of XXXX miles. I filed a DOT complaint regarding this issue. On XX/XX/2020, I received a respond from XXXX XXXX stating they are closing my account because they accused me of receiving the XXXX XXXX miles due to exploitative practice. This is not true. I received the majority of my XXXX XXXX miles from the spending and bonuses of several citi Aadvantage credit cards which I applied using my name and my social security number. There's no misrepresentation on my part for this credit card application. I want Citi to confirm these applications and bonus miles awarded to me is valid and not exploitative practice. 

Best Regards XXXX XXXX.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Hi Dear customer service, I received an email from XXXX XXXX that my XXXX XXXX  sent a 30 days late payment to all 3 credit Bureaus. Let me first explain my situation. I closed most of my credit carts about 2 years ago through XXXX XXXX XXXX 's department. Every month I am paying them the amount that creditors agreed with them. During the Covid 19 I was not able to pay the full amount due to my financial hardship. It was the first time that I paid less amount to my credit card companies. However, I have already paid the full amount and make them current. The only bank that didn't remove my late payment is XXXX XXXX. I have already made a disput with all 3 credit bureaus and received an email from them that they are unable to remove the late payment from my history. Today I called to XXXX XXXX  and humbly request them to do something for me and ask them to let me to make a disput with them, but they said they are not able to do anything for me. I told them I have already spoken with their customer service department and explain them I am not able to pay my full amount but the supervisor told me they have never received a call from me. I swear to God I talked with them a month ago and explained them why I can't pay the full amount and they accepted it. Now, they say I have never talked with anybody in their department which is so weird. I humbly request you to understand my situation and do something for me. I have never had any credit problems with any companies before and this late payment really bothers me. Because of the late payment report my credit score dropped by many points and I am really sad that why I was not able to pay the full amount to them. I thought that XXXX  XXXX  will understand my situation and remove my late report because I am sure that this might happened to many people during this Covid 19 pandemic.

Complaint sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

XX/XX/2020 I made a {$560.00} deposit into an ATM. My deposit was taken without receipt of being received. Despite the fact that I was extremely overwhelmed that my bill money was now gone without a trace.The bank manager ( XXXX ) was very rude and refused to give me her last name or provisional credit before 10 days as another branch informed me could be done. I have been a member of this bank for over 10 years and in good standing. Through no fault of my own I am unable to pay my bills which have accumulated late fees on top of what I already owe.

I am very concerned about the validity and accuracy of the recent investigation done by Equifax. I requested for an investigation because the accounts have nothing to do with me. I am a victim of identity theft and the accounts are not my responsibility. Equifax failed to give me the result of their investigation. I assume they were unable to verify it. The error has affected my credit score tremendously. CFPB please step up and delete this ASAP, this is very exhausting, nobody wants to grant me a loan because of this.

Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

XXXX XXXX is attempting to collection on a debt I do know owe. This debt is past the statute in Maryland and really old that it shouldn't be reporting on my credit. It's XXXX yrs old.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status

XXXX XXXX has inaccurately reported to XXXX, Equifax , and XXXX Credit agencies that I had a late credit card payment XX/XX/2016. This is not accurate. After speaking with XXXX XXXX on multiple occasion they informed me on those multiple occasions that I do not have any late payments. When I contacted XXXX they have informed me they have sent multiple off-cycle updates to the XXXX XXXX Agencies to update the inaccurate information. This has not occurred as the same late payment is still on my credit reports. 

I have disputed the late payments multiple times and nothing on the reports has changed. Either XXXX XXXX is not responding to the disputes or the Credit Reporting Agencies are not truly investigating and providing the same inaccurate information when they receive the disputes. All said the issue is not resolved and its been 3 months since the initial dispute was filed and XXXX along with the Credit Agencies have been contacted about the issue. 

I do not want to have to resort to legal means to get the issue resolved but will if it is not handled immediately. This is black and white, I did not have a late payment in XX/XX/XXXX yet it is being reported as late. This is a complete violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act which is a violation of the law. This issue needs to be resolved ASAP. I had attached a chat that I had with a XXXX Representative that confirms my statement.

Complaint sub-issue: Other problem

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Discover for my account being closed for any of these XXXX reasons per the companies letter. 
Your discover card account has been inactive for XXXX months or longer and/or account has been closed. 
I called customer service about XXXX weeks ago they were basing everything around XXXX. When the last purchase I did was in XX/XX/XXXX. About less than XXXX  months the account was closed due to inactivity. Today I reached out to their account review department, where they state that after XXXX months of inactivity they can close the accounts. Issue with this, hits my credit for no reason and I never received a warning my account would be closed due to inactivity. Tried talking to XXXX at the Account XXXX department to try to get my original credit line to just getting the same speech of the account being closed after XXXX months even though their letter to me stated XXXX months or longer. I tried applying to get a new credit card but the limit is only XXXX when I originally had {$8500.00}. I cant get an increase because of insufficient experience with current discover credit limit. This is based on the {$3000.00} credit card, not on my previous experience with them.
Complaint sub-issue: Problem with customer service

In XX/XX/XXXX, I was notified by XXXX that I had adverse credit reporting by XXXX XXXX. I contacted XXXX XXXX and found out the my loan was 120 days late. I had not received any notification from XXXX XXXX  concerning this. I immediately remedied the past due amount and made timely payments for a couple of months. I also filed a dispute concerning their reporting due to the fact that I was never notified by XXXX XXXX. I was denied any remedy to my credit report. I again contacted XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX regarding my dispute with their credit reporting and the fact that I was never contacted. I was informed that their records indicate that I had been notified by letter and by phone calls. I have never received any letters nor phone calls from XXXX XXXX. I believe that someone within their organization has falsified their records. I have always had a high credit rating. This action by XXXX XXXX has ruined by credit. I have always paid my debts in a timely manner. XXXX XXXX   refuses to make any changes to their credit reporting. I was never contacted by XXXX XXXX. I am the one who contacted them.

I have made several attempts to communicate with your Offices. In Exhibit B you will find copies of my certified mail receipts. 

The account listed in Exhibit E is inaccurate, not timely, and carries no documented evidence of its existence. To the least, it has not been authenticated as per my requirements as you are damaging my character, creditworthiness, and wellbeing by falsely reporting this non-compliant unverifiable account on my credit report. 

I have attached undeniable proof that you are in violation of the FCRA by reporting false and inaccurate information concerning the account listed in Exhibit E. 

I have attached a print-out of my XXXX XXXX Statement dated XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX. CST. This statement shows the correct balance and payment information Exhibit C. 

On XXXX, I filed a complaint # XXXX with the CFPB for failure to provide certified proof that the account was valid and accurate. In Exhibit D you will find a copy of the CFPB Complaint. 

Credit Reporting Agencies have a duty to verify the information as 100 accurate. The FCRA also states that the consumer can demand that the credit bureau provide certified proof that the information that they publish or provide is in fact 100 timely and accurate.

Credit Reporting Agencies can not simply say that the information was certified. You must also produce said certification when I consumer asks for it, which is their right under the FCRA. 

The evidence that I have attached proves that you did not conduct independent investigations of my dispute because the balance and payment amounts are and have been incorrect, inaccurate, and not timely. ( Copied from attached Affidavit ) ****

A few years ago my wallet was stolen on my way out of the country and when I returned back to the states I learned my cards had been used. I called all my credit card companies and informed them of this issue and sent in supporting documentation of proof of my travels to the XXXX XXXX the purchase was also not my usual trends of purchase. All corrected this matter except XXXX  XXXX XXXX. They completed a poor investigation as well as closed the account after informing me all fees and issues would be taken care of. While reviewing my report I noticed they reported late payments during the months the case was under investigation. I spoke with numerous representatives and was informed this would be corrected. Yet after over near 13 years of great business with this organization my promised credit line and incorrect late payments have not been restored after this issue was resolved in my favor.
Complaint sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, in regards to an account with Nextep Funding. I advised the representative I was at work and unable to continue with the call at that time as I was expecting a work related phone call. The representative asked that I call her back later today. I advised her I worked late and would not be able to call back today. The representative continued to say " you are on the phone and when the call comes in you will know. '' She then proceeded to ask me questions in which I declined to answer and advised her if she would like to make an agreement to pay then to send it in writing to my address of record. She refused and stated that my credit is very important and it would have negative effects if I did not pay in full today. The company has already been reporting since XX/XX/XXXX to the credit bureaus. When I advised her that if I did not get off of the call, I would lose my job and not be able to pay, she threatened to " recommend legal action and negative reporting on my credit reports '' and would comment that I refused to pay. I disputed the balance owed ( as incorrect ) on XX/XX/XXXX with no response. On XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed again stating I did not receive a response within the allocated timeframe and requested the information be removed. This dispute is still active with XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I believe this company has violated both the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Act with their illegal practices. I never received a letter to my address advising me that the account was moved to a collection agency or my right to dispute. They only send generic emails to the email address I provided at the time.

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

I attempted to file a dispute with XXXX and Equifax about an item on my credit file showing incorrect dates that affects the time limits as to how long the debt remains on my credit report. The collections account in question shows the wrong first date of delinquency which in turns allows for the item to remain on my credit report for a total of 9-years. I have records I received from the collection agency that shows the last day of payment on the account being XX/XX/XXXX and no subsequent payments made on the account thereafter. After the account was past due for 30-days no other payments were made on the account which would have put the date of first delinquency at XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX and Equifax has listed the date of first delinquency as XX/XX/XXXX, which is incorrect. This date is exactly 2-years after the correct date of first delinquency. Attempts to provide evidence for this has not worked as XXXX and Equifax does not allow me to upload supporting documentation on their website. I attempted to dispute this information after receiving my free credit report from the website freeannualcreditreport and XXXX and Equifax has refused to let me dispute the collections account and instead made me pay for their service which costs {$19.00}. After purchasing their credit monitoring service to file a dispute, I am still not allowed to file a dispute with supporting documentation. The incorrect information concerning the first date of delinquency remains on my credit report with XXXX and Equifax. The collections account in question should be removed from my credit file on XX/XX/XXXX not XX/XX/XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX intentionally supplied the credit reporting agency with false information in order to extend the date of the debt on my credit file. This activity is fraudulent and in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

I have been fighting with several credit reporting agencies and XXXX about my credit report. I filed chapter XXXX and included them and even though I have supplied ALL documents needed to show they were included and DISCHARGE, they continue to report. They even went so far as to SELL the bad debt to XXXX, who ALSO is trying to collect on the SAME student loan and is ALSO reporting to my credit bad/late payments. 

SO ... when then I find out that this is NOT the first time, they have violated CFPB laws. I have been complaining and NO ONE listens to me .... but this says it ALL! 

Student loan servicer XXXX illegally deceived borrowers, judge finds Last Updated : XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX. ET First Published : XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX. ET By XXXX XXXX 3 Borrowers and their parents and grandparents were among those who suffered when XXXX violated a state consumer protection law, the court ruled. 

https : XXXX Comes as no surprise to me, but maybe NOW someone will take me seriously. 

ALSO, even if NO ONE believe me, how is XXXX or XXXX  being allowed to report LATE PAYMENTS or COLLECTIONS on a FEDERAL STUDENT LOAN, given COVID?? 

THIS VIOLATES the Cornavirus and Forbearance Student Aid that took effect XX/XX/XXXX and is STILL in effect until XXXX, XXXX. WHICH MEANS, THEY CAN NOT REPORT LATE/COLLECTION to my report. 

I WANT ALL THE LATE/COLLECTIONS FROM XXXXT AND XXXX  REMOVED.
