Complaint sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

XXXX has harassed me regarding their new XXXX credit card, they have been calling me every day to sell this new credit card which I have not been interested at all. At the same time, I had lost my access to my account on the XXXX website due to some glitches on the website and had not received any paper statement from XXXX either. I still do not know what was purchased on behalf of me and I am guessing some of them are not mine. The only choice had left for me was to apply for upgrading for a new credit card, but I was not interested at all. I went on a vacation outside the US and had not been able to pay my balance. Because of that, a late payment was reported to the credit bureaus and my credit score has dropped by more than 10 %. I have contacted them many times and asked them to review my case. At the beginning, they totally ignored me ; then, they said they reviewed it and decided that it was not their issue that there were some glitches in their system, I " should have found some way to pay my balance ''. But I could not see what I was paying for!!! They ignored me many times and gave me misleading advices as well. I have also attached three snapshots from the XXXX ' Credit Card website that shows the error messages I had received.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

ACCOUNT # XXXX XXXX Mortgage gave a payoff estimate to the buyer ' s of my home. Payoff amount as provided, was wired to XXXXXXXX XXXX  and sale closed. I moved out of property because buyer ' s were investors and required that I move out immediately. XXXXXXXX XXXX then realized that they made a mistake with the payoff estimate that they provided. They claimed that there was a shortfall of about {$2000.00}. 

XXXX XXXX started to report that as late payments on my credit report for all the months that they were trying to resolve this issue with buyer. Eventually, it was resolved, and extra payment was wired to XXXX XXXX 

The multiple late payments which was not my fault has made it impossible for me to get a mortgage for another home. I have spoken to XXXXXXXX XXXX  about this severally, but they have done nothing. 

Also, the mortgage loan is still showing as open and having a balance when in actual fact, the mortgage is fully paid and closed. Please help me sir/madam.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I reported a dispute to Equifax regarding XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX first to work out reporting. They state my account has been closed since XX/XX/XXXX. ( verified verbally as well as the XXXX  tracking on the check sent to them ) Yet, they reported to all bureaus that it was open. They received a check for {$22000.00} which is in excess of the XXXX payoff amount due. Proof attached, verbally stated it is good through XX/XX/XXXX the date the check was received.Then they stated to all bureaus that my debt amount owed to them was XXXX ( the amount of the check ) which caused a 34 pt. decrease in my credit score. Proof attached. 

This is troublesome for several reasons - unfair, incorrect reporting. Credit damage. Reporting an account as NOT closed yet agreeing over the phone it is. Appearing to intend to keep the refund owed due to cancellation of the warranty. Contract states it is owed to me ( Illinois provision ).

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

I have disputed this alleged debt by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to equifax 3 times and to XXXX. XXXX investigation took awhile and XXXX removed it from my report because it was not my debt, where as Equifax emails me the next day with the outcome " remains " and that " belongs to me '' with no other information. I had take matters into my own hands and I sent mail to this XXXX asking for correct validation and I received a letter from them stating it was not my debt. So this goes to show how much of an investigation they really conducted. Not much of one, if any at all. 
Not only this but after I disputed, my fico score dropped XXXX points. I went and bought a report and nothing had changed, literally nothing. I monitor all three reports and equifax never updates. For example, I have XXXX credit card with a limit of XXXX and had a balance of XXXX. I made a payment prior to even getting a statement or bill of XXXX. 
Equifax shows my house payment, my car, my credit card all a month behind vs the other credit agencies showing XX/XX/XXXX being pays as agreed.. They have not updated the report since XX/XX/XXXX and its XX/XX/XXXX. Also I pay for credit score monitoring via myfico and why are they reporting a XXXX point drop when there are NO changes in my report anywhere ( other then I made a dispute ) This is the worst credit reporting agency and we as consumers need our reports to be accurate and updated. I 've been waiting for them to update because I want to get different insurance for auto and home and you never know what insirance companies report they will look at. I see that experian has updated my accounts. What 's the problem here? They are completely incompetent. We rely on these companies for very important aspect of our lives and I have a really difficult time to think they take it as serious as we, the consumer.

Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Greetings : I am writing to issue a complaint against Klarna Inc. for its deceptive and bait-and-switch practices. I had issued a complaint with the XXXX, but they could not make a determination in my favor because Klarna did not provide me with anything in writing pertaining to my account, except for a statement which was not sent to me. On XX/XX/2021 I made an XXXX purchase ( from several XXXX shops ) totaling {$670.00}. Klarna offered me 12 months zero interest, as long as I kept up my payments. In XXXX, I was trying to navigate the Klarna app and my automatic bill pay was shut off, which I did NOT intend to happen, and this resulted in a late fee AND loss of my promotion. HOWEVER two supervisors have also written to me saying that the promotion was never added to my account because I didnt qualify, even though I was approved for a {$1000.00} credit limit through Klarna XXXX Klarna did NOT divulge anything about my not being eligible for the promotion. They also didnt divulge that my promotion was removed due to a late payment. 

So which one is the REAL story? I honestly dont know. But the point is, Klarna did NOT notify me when : A. I didnt qualify for the promotional offer of 12 months zero interest ( see attachment of the screenshot I took when I accepted the offer ). 
B. I LOST my promotion because I lost my auto pay, which resulted in a late payment/fee. 

NEITHER scenario is acceptable and as I said, I dont know what the truth is. I am disputing any and all interest and late charges associated with my Klarna account. I did not agree to the interest rate of 19.99 %, which was added to my account instead of the promotion I agreed to 12 months zero interest, and thats what I expect. My bill has been half paid off, and I owe Klarna {$370.00}, NOTHING MORE. This has been going on since XXXX, and I am livid about being deceived by Klarna XXXX Inc. Im not sure why they have an A+ rating on the XXXX website, because the complaints from customers against Klarna on the same website ( XXXX ) are EXTENSIVE, and average 1.4 out of 5 stars. This is unacceptable and I will fight this absolute injustice.
Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

I set up a one time online payment to pay off one of my loans with Discover Student Loans on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, the pay-off amount ( {$5300.00} ) was withdrawn from my bank account twice. The extra payment does not show on Discover 's website, but I have sent them a bank statement that shows a double payment, which they have acknowledged. I have contacted them several times ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ) and all they will tell me is that they have not located the " missing payment '' and to wait 2 more weeks. It has now been almost 2 months.

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

I'm a XXXX XXXX XXXX taking XXXX courses a semester while working a 40 hour week job. I Iost my job and could not pay my XXXX XXXX credit card ( {$2000.00} XXXX. A few months later after I was situated at a new job, I received a letter for the option to pay a lump sum of {$1400.00} in order to " settle '' my account. I paid this lump sum with the entirety of my paycheck ( s ) in the course of just two weeks! XXXX from the credit card department assisted me in taking these payments. 

I called back to confirm everything was done and I would no longer be harassed by their credit department, was told I was good to go. Of course that was not the case, not only was I still harassed, my credit report showed that just two months later, this account was " Charged off as bad credit '' as opposed to " settled '' ( XXXX ). I made a complaint and nothing happened. I also noticed the balance of the account was not XXXX, but $ 800< ( The amount not paid in the settlement ). Every month it grew higher, it's as if they lied and just took the lump sum and wanted me to pay the rest! 

I called back XXXX XXXX and was now greeted with a XXXX XXXX   named XXXX ( XXXX ext XXXX ), who kept hanging up on me after treating me like a criminal. I reported him to his boss with a recording of the phone call that received over 50 angry comments on XXXX, he did not return my call.

Complaint sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Graduated from XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. 
Received notification from XXXX XXXX ( third party lender for books/supplies/software NOT tuition ) I am a Veteran - gain college degree via Post XX/XX/XXXX GI BILL.

For 2 years - XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX went back and forth speaking with the school and XXXX XXXX and could not get a straight answer as to how I owe XXXX $ in Federal Student Loans? 

Lived on and came across XXXX looking to collect same debt, then again a year later Nelnet looking to obtain this obscene amount of money. 

Sent message today to complain to FSA. 



After graduation, I have battled back and forth with, at the time was XXXX XXXX, third party that provided loans for books/ supplies/software. XXXX XXXX showed an astronomical amount I owed ( 20 plus thousand dollars. ). I Contacted the school and XXXX XXXX numerous times to explain how this is possible. My tuition was covered under my Post XXXX   GI Bill. Because I could not get an answer to this amount owed, what it was used for, etc. I chose to carry on with life as best I could at that time. Only response was " You need to contact the school and they should be able to tell you what they used that money for .... '' Time went by and I got a piece of mail from Navient ( which used to be XXXX XXXX ...? ) stating about the XXXX XXXX I owe in " Federal Student Loans '' and need to arrange payments. I was not up to the level of stress this was going to bring. I later came to speak with them, addressing my concerns and they opted for my account to go into forbearance I believe. Currently today XXXX is who has contacted me to start paying. I am speechless on these actions for this high amount to be paid by a Veteran that used his Post XXXX Bill for college tuition to better my abilities but am threatened by this amount to pay. 



XXXX XXXX XXXX Your case has been submitted! Your case number is XXXX. 
Thank you for submitting your feedback. We will respond and acknowledge receipt of your feedback within the next 15 days.
Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Date : XX/XX/2021 XXXX : XXXX Dear Credit Representative : I am disputing the account stated above. Previously, I disputed this account information as being inaccurate, you have failed to verify that this is indeed my debt. 

I enclosed copies of my requests asking them to validate the debt. I was given no evidence of my obligation to pay this debt to this collection agency. This debt is not mine. 

The Fair Credit Reporting act requires you to verify the validity of this within 30 days. If the validity can not be verified, you are obligated by law to remove it from my credit file. I urge you to remove this account before I am forced to take legal action. 

In the event that you can not verify the item pursuant to FCRA, and you continue to report it on my credit, I will find it necessary to sue you for actual damages and declaratory relief. According to FCRA regulations, I may sue you in any qualified state or federal court, including small claims court in my area. 

I look forward to a swift and amicable resolution to this matter. 

Sincerely,
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Equifax and XXXX are incorrectly reporting that I am ( 120 ) days  late on the XXXX partial account numbers XXXX and XXXX. ( Please see pages attached from my credit report. ) First, all of these accounts report a {$0.00} balance and {$0.00} past due. Second, these accounts are currently being coded as an I5. These accounts should be coded as an I1. I have contacted the bureaus and have spoken to multiple representatives who have verbally stated to me they can not change the coding on these infractions. This is not true. I have spoken to my loan officer, as well as my lender, and it was confirmed that the coding on these items can be changed by the bureaus to report accurate information. I am not disputing any prior late payments however, these accounts are being reported as if I am past due in present day. Keep in mind that it is impossible to be late on an account where nothing is owed and nothing is past due. It is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to not report accurate coding. This false reporting of lates is seriously harming my credit score and all of these line items need to be removed from my credit report. I have contacted the bureau to remove these however, I have not been successful.
Complaint sub-issue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

While applying for mortgage loans I discovered that my credit score was negatively affected by multiple cards opened in my name through CITIBANK, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. They were opened years ago and never used, but having so many cards opened hurt my score. When I called Citibank, they said their own fraud department had flagged and closed the accounts. I was never alerted to these fraudulent cards, and they still appear on my credit report to this day. I believe these cards are hindering my ability to purchase a home and need them taken off as soon as possible. The cards were opened in states I have never lived in. The XXXX XXXX is also fraudulent. They claimed it was removed from my report but it is still there. Cards are listed bellow. CITICARD CBNA - opened XX/XX/XXXX ( 3 cards ) ( remains open ) CITICARD CBNA - opened XX/XX/XXXX - closed XX/XX/XXXX XXXX - opened XX/XX/XXXX - closed XX/XX/XXXX ( 2 cards ) XXXX XXXX - last reported XX/XX/XXXX ( remains open ) At the end of the complaint report it asks for the address associated with the card. I do not have addresses for any of the fraudulent cards, but it wo n't let me continue without one. I will check the box that it is the same as mine, but that is incorrect.
