Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

In XX/XX/XXXX as soon as I saw mail showing I was behind my payment to them I called to let the credit card company know that I had to close my bank account and re open another bank account due to some hacking on the account. My payments were set on automated payment deduction that always comes out of this bank account and I needed to reset up the same thing with new bank account. I thought the payment for that month had already made it through and it did not go through as it said it did on line on there website and that is why I missed getting payment in on time. I was only a day or so past due when I called them to explain why the payment was not received and to give them new information on my new bank account and tell them the reason I was late was due to not getting my new bank account information over to them before my payment was to come out. After I told them, they said that as of this day I called in my account was technically past due. The credit card company said they would not show me having a late payment account since I called to let them know and redirect my schedule payment to the new account. Now my credit files say the dispute has been taken care of, but it is still on my credit files saying I was late. I need to have this removed from my files showing I have never been late. I am buying a house and this is damaging my ability to do so. I would have never been late if it had not been for my automatic payment not going through because of the change in accounts. I was told they would not show me late. Also the credit card does not show the years I have had it so my credit looks like I have only had credit for just over a year and it's been almost 3 years. This is what is shown on the Credit bureau 's and it should not show late. Overview You're currently using 98 % of your account 's limit.

Complaint sub-issue: Account status

XXXX contines to list XXXX as late 30 days in XX/XX/XXXX. I have never paid this account late and XXXX is the only CRA reporting it as late, all others have either deleted the trade line or have it listed in a positive status. XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX is 7 years and the reporting period if I had paid late has expired and thus this account should be moved into a positive status on my report or the entire trade line deleted. I contacted XXXX back in XXXX requesting the update with no resolve. 

Additionally XXXX continues to also report XXXX on my account also a violation, the statute of limitations and the reporting period for this item has passed. The item was transferred to XXXX XXXX and then sold transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is a zombie debt and as such should be deleted. Due to Equifax not responding to my requests I reached out to the collection agency that the account was sold to and they have confirmed there is nothing owed and have deleted the account from my credit file as such the original creditor should do the same. The same instance has been for XXXX XXXX, this item was also a XXXX transferred to XXXX and then sold to XXXX XXXX which also states the item to be deleted as the statute of limitations and reporting period has ended as such the original creditor should be removed. 

I have tried mailing Equifax and also trying to dispute via their website and while I have a report number and key in all the relevant information their website will not allow me to dispute. I am unable to seek resolution through them. I implore CFPB to contact Equifax.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

On XXXX/XXXX/17 I spoke with several reps within the company in told me several different stories, I was desperate to get the report off my credit & ERC advised me in XXXX that I would have to pay to have it removed. I sent a letter requesting if I paid the debt I was n't admitting I owned the debt but that I wanted it removed quickly. When I called today I was advised the fraudulent charges would not be removed and that even if I made payment they would still report on my credit profile. I was then referred to the Office of Presidency and was told to request for my letter of deletion. I spoke with, XXXX XXXX - supervisor and Rep XXXX XXXX. When I called this department I was sent to a voicemail. I then called ERC back and spoke with XXXX washington - he advised me that the account was in fraud status and that they were not going to delete the account. When I asked him what the department of presidency did he placed me on hold without any notification and XXXX XXXX - supervisor said the account when into dispute in XXXX of 2017 and as of XXXX/XXXX/2017 the account was placed in fraud status and the department of presidency would be able to advise me when the account would be deleted. This company is reporting inaccurate information on my credit profile with out any real proof of me ever owing the debt.
Below I attached information sent, they do n't even have the correct information providing proof the debt is mine and accurate.

Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

I have worked for the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, starting when I was XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I started working I was already in college and it took me about XXXX more years to finish due to unexpected kids, wife getting laid off, needing to work extra hours to pay the bills, and so on. I eventually made it though and graduated when I was XXXX. Due to having XXXX kids, low paying, jobs and struggling to pay bills I chose the lowest repayment plan I could to get by. I did this for about XXXX or so years until I decided to check into my PSLF status to see how close I was to get my loans forgiven. This is when I learned none of my payments counted towards this program. Not a single one of those 85 or so payments counted because it was not a qualifying repayment plan. Plus some of my loans were not eligible because they were FFELP loans. Doing some research it seemed there was really nothing I could do about it. So I decided since I have to start from zero might as well consolidate to get my various loans, particularly my ineligible loans, into one eligible loan. I applied for an income driven plan to make sure I was making eligible payments going forward. Amazingly the income driven was far less than the lowest plan I was paying for. My new payment was {$70.00}! How broken of program is it when I was making a combined {$350.00} payments a month for seven plus years and those don't count. Yet my {$70.00} payment does count? Right after I consolidated COVID hit and the payment pause took affect. Then the PSLF limited waiver came out and I immediately applied for it. With my seven plus years of payments and two years of payments freezes that still count towards payments I have to be real dang close to getting these loans forgiven. Excitement is in the air. I got a letter giving me a breakdown of my eligible payments and it only counted payments since I consolidated. My understanding is that payments before consolidation will count towards this limited waiver. I was told when you consolidate only the ELIGIBLE payments made before consolidation will count as part of the limited waiver. Seriously? I consolidated because I was told my prior payments didn't count because they were not eligible payments amd some my loans were not eligible. So I consolidated and got on the correct plan. So I was squared away and just had to make 10 more years of payments. This waiver comes along and because I did what was best for me at the time two years I am now screwed out of getting my loans forgiven later this year. If I had not consolidated two years ago my loans would be getting forgiven by XXXX. But because I was doing what I needed to do two years to get my loans forgiven down the road it made me ineligible for forgiveness now. Broken system. I just can't anymore. A person like me who tries to do everything right and I just keep getting screwed over.

XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX Are all reporting inaccurate information on my credit report reported by all three credit bureaus XXXX, Equifax and XXXX. These companies are reporting different balances and dates to each credit bureau. I have been asking them for the past 6 months to validate this debt to see if it belongs to me because I was recently hacked and wanted to make sure nothing else was taken as I have been trying to get a house for my mother and noticed all these items being reported. This is a direct violation of the FCRA and FDCPA. Ive given them ample time and as you know I the times we are in we have all been trying to adjust to new changes but not getting a response is unacceptable as I have been sending them letters since XX/XX/2020. Nothing has been updated on my credit report either. How can I make a life for myself if my credit is being taken advantage of by these companies that are suppose to " help '' us. This goes totally against the FCRA laws this is a violation. Attached you can see all the inaccuracies from my XXXX XXXX subscription I get monthly. Update at once, Ive also reached out to a FCRA lawyer since you guys have leaved me pretty much no choice.

Complaint sub-issue: Told you not to respond to a lawsuit they filed against you

I went onto the court docket to confirm a court appearance for a unrelated speeding ticket when I became aware that this Law Firm had filed a lawsuit. When I obtained a copy of the Return of Service, it said I had been personally served with the documents on a date and time that was not true. I was at work during this time and my home security videos dont show anyone attempting service. I contacted the Law Firm and Process Service Company to inform them that I had never been personally served and explained that the process server had lied on the Return of Service. A couple of weeks later, this Law Firm then filed an Amended Return of Service with the same incorrect date and time of service only changing the signing date so that it could meet the 14 days before hearing requirement. Again, I was never personally served. Under Colorado Simplified Procedure, service must be made 14 days before the hearing date and service must be done in person. I contacted the Law Firm and Process Service Company again explaining that I had not been served and that this was the second time they provided false information under perjury. Now I wonder how many default judgments has this Law Firm obtained by lying about service and people have no clue a lawsuit even exists. I have been professional with both companies and requested that this false information be corrected. To date, there has not been a resolution.

Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

XXXX XXXX I was notified that a collection had been placed on my file which already has a Fraud alert. Police report and Notarized affidavit on file. I immediately contacted XXXX  and filed a fraud dispute because of the information already present in their records. On XX/XX/2021 a Sunday. I received an automated message that my dispute had been validated by the company. I submitted a 2nd dispute and on Monday I contacted XXXX  for further information. I was given the run around. I was told that I didn't have the accurate information. No one wanted to tell me what I needed. 7 calls later and over 5 hours on the phone I still had no resolve ... I was told another police report and affidavit from the FTC was needed. I provided that on XX/XX/XXXX, and again on XX/XX/XXXX. Today, I spoke to someone and now I am being told that they want a Government issued ID along with my SS card. I have several issues with this. According to the dept. of justice I am not obligated to provide that information, In addition, Why would i provide that to the credit agency that will then share the information with the creditor that already stated " any information obtained with be used for the purpose of collecting a debt '' I do not owe a debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX has not attempted to resolve this amicably and seems to be working on the behalf of the collection agency and not a a fair and just party in this situation, This account has been disputed multiple times and and they also alter the statement that I wish to have on my credit file. My statement should indicate that I have disputed as FRAUD and not that I disagree with their findings. If they truly were investigating they would know that this is not my account and I did not authorize anyone to use my information for gain and to destroy my credit.
