Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

I was having my paycheck garnished for students loans. I contacted a company who told me they can stop the garnishment and lower my payments. The company is 77 Elite in XXXX XXXX Florida. I was asked to make an upfront payment before they can start. I did and it was a large amount they charged me. This occurred over a year ago. I am constantly being asked to fax paperwork then I get it from 77 Elite that it isnt clear for me to fax it again. When I call they give me the run around saying they are handling the situation but nothing. I keep sending the same paperwork over and over. I then get we need new paperwork because the documents they have are 30 days over but why didnt they send the paperwork to my student loan company its their fault. Im tired of sending documents over a year and no answers.

Graduated XXXX and began repayment in what I was told was an eligible repayment program for public service loan forgiveness.

Complaint sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Approx XX/XX/2021 my ONLY mortgage from XXXX XXXX was transferred to Loancare , LLC. What was unusual was that for the first time in 14 years I was now being issued a brand new account number. I called XXXX to protest the reassignment of my account number and voiced my concern of credit concerns and how it registered with the credit bureaus. I was told its recognized by the credit bureaus and will see no significant changes..Its a bunch of XXXX that I was sold! 

I just checked my XX/XX/XXXX credit report as I do each month from all 3 bureaus. XXXX shows : 1 mortgage account was closed ... This will remain on your account for 10 years ... 
XXXX details for my score this month shows : : On your previous report you had 1 open mortgage accountnow you have 0, which usually means you closed a mortgage account. This could hurt or harm your credit score. Your total number of open mortgage accounts has decreased by 1. ... .. 

Well obviously so! My credit score has dropped by XXXX points! My score has fluctuated by 2-3 points each month for years. The only other factor was a balance increase of {$1500.00} on 1 cc, commonplace and in the past has led to my score dropping by only a few points. 

Credit bureau tips always suggest not to close accounts. More importantly the XXXX XXXX XXXX ADVISED ME THAT THE ACCOUNT WOULD SHOW AS CLOSED. ALSO XXXX XXXX NOTICE STATED THAT THEY WERE TRANSFERRING THE LOAN, NOT CLOSING THE ACCOUNT. THIS WAS MISLEADING AND WILLFULLY LIEING TO THE CLIENTS**** What action is going to be taken by the irresponsibility and negligence of this action by these mortgage companies and practices??? This is not a rhetorical question. WHAT ACTION WILL BE TAKEN? 

By selling off loans, lending companies raise money so they can lend to more prospective buyers. Meanwhile, XXXX and Loancare have negatively affected my credit! A bunch of liars!!! 

I am livid, angry and frustrated. I hope you take this SERIOUSLY. XXXX.

Complaint sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

My atm/XXXX  was in my possession was not lost or stolen and US Direct Express Debit Master card issued by Comerica Bank XXXX Notified them on XX/XX/2022 of unauthorized electronic transfers from my account. I did not notice the money was missing until I tried to make a ATM withdrawal on that day. Direct Express said they would send me a new card and paperwork to fill out within 10 days and be provided a provincial credit if I returned the forms within the 10days. I did not receive the paperwork to fill out for the fraudulent activity until XX/XX/2022 which was 15-days and went to fax the documents to XXXX  on XX/XX/2022 but it would not go through and was going to cost me {$31.00}. I called XXXX  and they said I could email the documents, ( I asked if the documents could be emailed to me to fill out on XX/XX/2022, but they can not email me, I can only email them ). I sent all the documents they requested back to them on on XX/XX/2022. I called to find the status of my claim 10 days, 20 days and was told it was still under investigation. Needless to say I was never given the provincial credit nor was the amount on the initial documents for around {$600.00} less than the actual fraud on my account. Before I received a answer on my claim XXXX  sent me their brochure stating they were required to send me one every year, which I never received until now. My claim was denied via mail with out explanation 45 days after I filed. I disputed the decision and was told it would take 48 hours to get the answer. On XX/XX/2022 I was told my claim was still denied. I am a representee of a XXXX XXXX  child, and he lives on a very limited amount of money ( {$560.00} a month ). Direct Express allows someone to steal over {$800.00} out of his account which is in my name via XXXX XXXX  in the increments of {$2.00}, {$4.00}, {$9.00}. One would think if I have never paid a XXXX XXXX anything let alone spend every cent in my account this is fraud. This is not the first time Direct Express has allow a unknown entity without my card to steal money from me, it was not with XXXX XXXX  but XXXX XXXX last year. I can not see how when a person steals money from Direct Express via my account they hold me accountable. They actually let some one steal money from them, I should not be held accountable if they have a security breach.

I have made several attempts to verify an account in collections by XXXX XXXX XXXX directly and through the Credit bureaus. In XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/2018 I sent out a debt validation letter which a photo copy will be attached, and recieved basically responses on both occasions that the debt had been verified. But in reality all I got was a itemized list of charges and no proof of ORIGINAL contracts with my name or signatures which does not meet the FTC guidelines that constitutes proper debt validation. Also XXXX was not able to properly verify and were the only ones to delete the account. Also noticed that Equifax is reporting wrong information on said debt collector, which I will also attach proof of when I tried to request information. Letter sent was returned which I had sent out certified. I had also reached out to the ORIGINAL said creditor and they claim to have no information on such account, and if I'm not mistaken how could the credit bureaus or the collector validate such debt if under the FCRA a proper validation has to be done with the original creditor?
