Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

I consolidated my federal student loans in XXXX. At that time, I was offered a .25 % loan rate reduction for making payments by automatic withdrawal from checking or savings. That term of my loan agreement was never honored by XXXX. As a result, I have been overcharged thousands of dollars of interest over the last XXXX years. I will also continue to pay thousands more in interest than I was promised during the remainder of my loan term. My current XXXX is 3.0 % and should be XXXX. My loans have been bought and sold multiple times and I have never been able to get any of the loan holders/servicers to listen to me about this issue. My current loan holder/servicer is AES-American Education Services XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

On XX/XX/XXXX I mailed dispute letters to each of the three credit bureaus. I still not received a response from any of them.

I sent my Complaints # XXXX, XXXX, XXXX last XX/XX/XXXX but when I checked my Complaints, it seems that you have closed it on the same day. I sent a letter on XX/XX/XXXX to remove the items that are UNKNOWN to me. I came across this law today and according to the Per FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) the credit bureaus are required to remove these items not later than 4 business days. Here is the list of erroneous items found on my credit report : XXXX XXXX : {$530.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I have been having trouble getting an account reported correctly. I disputed the account and each time the investigation says that the item is correct but the amounts owed are changing by {$1.00} every day for the past few days until finally, it has dropped my score by 8 pts. It was updated on XX/XX/XXXX, which dropped my score 8 pts, then updated twice on XX/XX/XXXX, which didn't change my score but dropped the balance owed by {$1.00} and then again today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) it was updated and dropped my score another 8 pts. All of these actions were taken on my Equifax report. This account I disputed was on a secured card. I paid {$3000.00} down on this card. My balance shows {$2800.00}, but they are stating they charged off {$120.00}, which they didn't. The account was closed because I lost my job and couldn't pay and the balance due was under my credit limit at the time. I closed the account myself and the credit card company is reporting that they closed it on me. Not true. Plus I do not owe money to these people. They have yet to send me proof that I have asked for to validate the debt. I have disputed it several times. I want this resolved.
Complaint sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

I discovered when I checked my credit files on XX/XX/XXXX an adverse collection action reported by Revsolve Inc. on behalf of XXXX XXXX for {$100.00}. This account does not exist. XXXX and XXXX reported the account was placed for collection XX/XX/XXXX. This information was first reported by XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, no information on when first reported by XXXX. I filed disputes on XX/XX/XXXX and the information was deleted from my credit report by XXXX the same day and by XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX.
Complaint sub-issue: Problem during payment process

XXXX, I am notifying you in writing of the ongoing issue I am having with PNC. 
On XXXX-XXXX-18, check # XXXX was cashed for {$7500.00}. The balance owed to PNC Visa was {$1500.00}, an overpayment of {$6000.00}. I was the one that caught this error, not PNC. 
After speaking with many people in the escalations department and local assistant branch manager, XXXX XXXX PNC, I received notice ( in writing ) that the {$7500.00} was returned to my account. 
For statement ending XXXX-XXXX-18, I received a statement for charges made to my Visa for {$4800.00}, which would have been about 3 months of charges and was almost accurate with credits for past due and finance charges needed. 
The issue is that on XXXX-XXXX-18, check # XXXX was cashed again for the 2nd time, without any notice. 
The 2nd problem is that this {$7500.00} payment has not been applied to my Visa account. 
The {$7500.00} has been removed from my checking account but not applied to my credit card. 
No one can tell me where the funds went. 
I spoke to XXXX XXXX on XXXX from XXXX to XXXX, she assured me that this would get this resolved in a couple of days and that she would touch base with me on Friday, XXXX. 
I did not hear from XXXX on XXXX, so I called and left a message at XXXX on XXXX. 
She did return my call later that day letting me know no progress has been made. 
As of today, XXXX, I left XXXX another message at XXXX, no progress or any kind of resolution has happened to my missing {$7.00}, XXXX. XXXX. 
This is the worst customer service issue I have ever experienced. 
After having a 28 year experience with PNC, my disappointment and frustration is at an all -time high. 
I expect immediate resolution of this issue. 
I have spent hours trying to resolve this issue with no success. 
I would like the {$7500.00} returned to my checking account, all late fees/finance charges removed, and an accurate statement of the charges owed on this Visa account. I will pay the balance immediately once Im satisfied that the {$7500.00} is returned and WILL NOT BE removed again.

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

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, On XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed a letter including a copy of the correct monthly payment amounts of my XXXX account reported by XXXX to XXXX and XXXX and Equifax requesting that the incomplete reporting of my XXXX account information be changed to reflect the correct XXXX reporting of my XXXX account. 

I have not heard back from XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX and Equifax mailed me a letter on XX/XX/XXXX that the account information has been verified with XXXX and updated as needed on my credit report. However, the correct monthly payment amounts are missing and not being reported accurately by XXXX and Equifax, but are being reported correctly on my XXXX credit report. 

My request is that XXXX reports the same information to XXXX and Equifax it reported to XXXX to give a complete credit reporting of my monthly payments. 

Thank you.

Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

I have filed multiple disputes and complaints with the CRAs and Macys dispute department. I informed them that this account was opened fraudulently and they have yet to remove this account from my credit file. I was informed that this account is accurate and belongs to me but have yet to receive any proof. 
I need this account removed and blocked permanently
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

My social security number was reported as probably compromised by Equifax. This might allow people to open accounts in my name resulting in my credit report being very adversely affected. It is absolutely unacceptable that over 143 million social security numbers have been compromised by Equifax. Many wo n't even know to put a fraud alert on their accounts or to check their social security number and the devastation they unknowingly face may be astronomical.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I am currently within a XXXX XXXXXXXX plan. My loan with XXXX XXXX is not included in the plan and I pay them each month for my vehicle. I have never missed nor been late with a payment since XX/XX/2018 when the loan originated. XXXX XXXX has not been reporting my monthly payments to any of the three credit reporting bureaus ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX and Equifax ) though I have sent them, on numerous occasions, the plan showing this loan is not included as well as statements that the loan is current. Each and every monthly loan payment is required to be reported as paid on time and XXXX is NOT reporting these payments.
Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

on XX/XX/2022 I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and misleading things on my credit report to this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my dispute. Section 611 ( a ), it is clearly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days give a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 45 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be removed immediately or I will file for litigation due to the XXXX  you caused in my life. My Information was also impacted by the EQUIFAX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person .... In the recent investigation brought upon EQUIFAX, I found that my consumer file is being irresponsibly tampered with. Over the past 6-12 months I made several attempts remind them of there duty pursuant 15 USC 1681. I feel they are intentionally and willfully being neglectful in my request. 15 USC 1681e ( b ) assures that I am due, promised accuracy in my consumer report based on Federal law. This is another attempt to have these errors corrected. 15 USC 1681i ( A.5 ) states after the reinvestigations all of the unverified information must be promptly removed and blocked.
Complaint sub-issue: Charged for a purchase or transfer you did not make with the card

A fraudulent transaction was performed on my card from a XXXX, Texas IP address. 
I live in Indiana. I immediately reached out to the merchant and the bank to file a dispute. I was informed this morning by KeyBenefits, after waiting on hold for 2.5 hours, that I would have to wait 15 days or more to have the funds returned to me. For someone who is unemployed through no fault of my own ( COVID ) and needs to feed their family. Its frustrating and unacceptable. This hacker removed almost {$300.00} from my benefit card.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status

I have disputed this issue numerous times about XXXX account from 2009 and that it states charge off and does not show the amount charged off and creditors think this is a repossession of a vehicle and its not. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX and they said that it is the credit bureau they use same code name for repossessions even though its not. I think this needs to be corrected because I have been denied credit numerous times because dealerships think it is a repo on my credit report. This is unfair practice of credit reporting and will result in legal action if not corrected.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

This is not my account. The date opened, the date of last reported, and the date of last active are inaccurate!!! You even fail to validate this account!!
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified item listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. 

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that this item is being reported correctly? Who verified this account? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are wilful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the account listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the company directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THIS ACCOUNT? I believe you have not verified this account based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with customer service

In XXXX, I had an active credit card with XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( " XXXX '' ) which experienced fraudulent charges. XXXX removed the charges and I closed the card. In XXXX, Keybank acquired XXXX and the fraudulent charges were reactivated as a due balance in error. Keybank was aware of this error and in XXXX they notified me that the charges are not valid and to disregard any statements asking me to pay a past due balance and they said they would close out the account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I opened my first ever Keybank checking account and enrolled in online banking with Keybank. Upon signing in for the first time I saw a credit card linked to my profile with a balance due of {$240.00} and with a payment due date of XX/XX/XXXX. I immediately called Keybank to understand what the credit card charge related to - I had forgotten about both the XXXX and XXXX issues described above. After spending XXXX on the phone, having been shuffled around to eight ( 8 ) different groups, I hung up the phone to attend to my full time job. Each group told me there was nothing they could do, in some cases I was transferred to the same group twice, and one group ( online banking ) even told me " it wasn't there problem. '' I called back about an hour later and I was put into a queue for a supervisor on the credit card service team to call back when they are free.

Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to Equifax was XX/XX/XXXX, but no response was ever received from them to date. Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, which states that continued reports of the unverified information without any proofs provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized.

Complaint sub-issue: Public record

I have a Public Record on my credit profile that is inaccurate in its filing. The derogatory is " Dismissed '' which means that it is adjudicated by the law. My case concerned no form of solvency, nothing was placed under conservancy, examinership, liquidation or provisional debt reconstruction. There were no exemptions, no surrender of any kind as stated within the regulations of the BAPCPA " Means Test ''. Although the procedure is dismissed, the credit bureaus have retrieve my information from a third party entity without my authorization, therefore holding my identity and credit under " Consumer Lock '' for 10 years. The Bankruptcy Court has confirmed that they did not verify by documentation. I have a right by consumer law to have knowledge and/or document of WHO VERIFIED!!! This discrepancy has prevented me in my personal life 's pursuit. Please advocate for me in this challenge.
