Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I made a payment of {$290.00} to Discover in XX/XX/2022 at which time I also entered into a temporary hardship relief program that lowered my monthly minimum payment to {$53.00} for 12 months and also lowered my APR to XXXX  %. I have paid the monthly minimum payment on-time in XXXX and XXXX of 2022 both on the XXXX, however the payments have still been reported as late to all XXXX major credit bureaus. During these months my balance was below the credit limit. 

Even though I have entered into the new payment program, my monthly statement still reflects a higher monthly amount due when my balance is below the credit limit. If the issue is that there is still a higher monthly payment due for whatever reason, Discover should demand that amount be paid BEFORE entering into a new payment program with a lower monthly due amount, so to not make matters confusing by providing multiple minimum payment amounts to the consumer. Once entered into the new payment program, all previous monthly payment amounts should be voided to allow future payments to be reported accurately and consistent with the payment program.

It has been found out that you are not REMOVING items when I sent a copy of the FTC report. Since it is a necessity by regulation 605b of the FCRA I'm sending this Complaint to assist with laying out a legalized response. In the event that you decide to not DELETE the accompanying things recorded beneath which are responding improperly because of fraud, I will hand my archives over to my lawyer to begin a lawful process.

Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Whom It May Concern, Please be advised that I have received your computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third-party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

You were advised by me on XX/XX/2022 by certified mail that I questioned the accuracy of a few items on my credit reports. That request was written by me and mailed by me- not a third-party agency. It appears obvious to me that you are abusing your power under the FCRA to escape a complete investigation. 

Here again is the incorrect information being reported : 1. 15 USC 1666b a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end A consumer credit plan as late for any purpose FDCPA 807 False misleading information FDCPA 8012 furnishing deceptive forms must remove late payments under CARES Fo XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX THIS ACCOUNT IS INACCURATE, I DID NOT INCUR ANY LATE PAYMENTS. PLEASE UPDATE TO PAID ON TIME Additionally, there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is an irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. 

I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to ensure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. 

I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this letter dated XX/XX/2022 is formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days not 30 more. 

I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.

I pulled my credit report and noticed that I have accounts on my credit report that doesn't belong to me. I did not benefit from the accounts in any way.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

My credit report shows an old XXXX XXXX account # XXXX that was opened on XX/XX/XXXX with 30/60/90/120 late months after never having missed a single payment. I had a  flawless payment history. The reason for these late erroneous late payment marks are due to when I had moved my office in XX/XX/XXXX and despite updating my records with both the post office and the creditor, I never received the statements in the mail. It was n't until I noticed that I had not received anything that I contacted the creditor asking what was happening. They told me they would resend the statement and that the late fee would not apply because of the " confusion ''. However another month went by where I still had not received my statement and was forced to call in again. Furious, I called again and was told that there was no record of my previous calls! I asked if the statement could be faxed but was told that was not possible but that they would make sure to send it once again. I asked if it could be expedited since the holidays were approaching but was told that this was not possible. Sure enough the holidays came came and went, even a new year was celebrated and I had not received my my statement in the mail. I called a final time in XX/XX/XXXX and asked to speak with a supervisor. A man name " XXXX '' heard me out and apologized for the trouble, however when he confirmed the address, they still were sending to the the old address! Once again I provided the new address and finally received it in the mail early XX/XX/XXXX. I do not believe penalizing me for something outside my control is fair, especially having a flawless history.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt was paid

Recently Enhanced Recovery CO L, flagged my credit report with a collection on a debt that was paid off years ago ( the original debt with was XXXX and I'm still with XXXX ) with the original creditor. 

When Enhanced Recovery began trying to collect for this discharged and settled debt, I informed them that before I'd pay anything I'd need to receive a verification of debt via mail. 

They never verified the debt and are wrongfully flagging my XXXX   credit report to collect on money the original creditor was paid for. Of course when I touch base with the original creditor they tell me the debt 's been satisfied and that Enhanced Recovery has been informed of this ; of course Enhanced Recovery CO L has no idea of this and insist that they're owed money as they " bought the debt. '' Even more disappointing, these " collection '' specialist can not be reached when you try to call them on the contact number they provided ; how can a XXXX dollar collection agency not provide a working number or accurate contact information? 

This is a racket, buying solvent and nonsolvent debts and flagging people 's credit for debt that isn't owed. XXXX and Enhanced Recovery should be ashamed of themselves ; shady practices across the board. Please flag Enhanced Recovery for these practices and hold them accountable, at the very least can we get them to remove the wrongful collection from my credit report until they and XXXX  verify the debt in writing. 

Thank you!
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I bought a used XXXX XXXXXXXX car thru Sierra credit Corp. My cousin a XXXX for 30yrs looked at the.car for me. It wasn't running right. He told me it had internal engine problems. It was not worth the repairs. I called Sierra credit n told them the information. I then had been paying for the car a year. I asked them to come get the car I didn't want it anymore. I owed about {$3500.00} for the car. Sierra credit was there the next day n took back the car. They then sold it again. I've been getting charged for the car ever since. They sold the car for XXXX XXXX or more. They still wanted all that money from me. I didn't owe them nearly the amount they were charging. I called them to stop the charges. I couldn't work it out with them. I have been disputing it ever since. XXXX XXXX XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with customer service

I recently submitted paperwork verifying my employment at a nonprofit organization to FedLoan after being moved to them upon request for PSLF. My initial verification for my previous non-profit job only shows 4 months of confirmed employment, but I was employed with this organization for 10 months and then moved to another nonprofit. My applications show this to be the case, but every time I contact their customer service ( through email, online chat, and calling ) I get a different answer on how to solve the problem, from submitting a new application to the wrong person signed it to the phone number missing from the application ( it wasn't ). I resubmitted the application, and now I am told it can not be digitally signed even though there is no digital signature for the application. I am at my wits end and have received no help that will actually solve the issue of the missing months of service with this organization. No wonder so many people don't get the right information about PSLF since its probably the most complicated system to verify regularly. I have to submit my tax information to be approved for IBR and PSLF, and it's the same EIN for the same employers on both my taxes and loans, so why does this have to be so complicated?

XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is incorrectly reporting a collection on my credit report. I have no knowledge of this account and I am not responsible for any debt reporting from this company. This account that is being reported negative on my credit report does not seem to be reported accurately and legally per FCRA.
Complaint sub-issue: Impersonated attorney, law enforcement, or government official

There were multiple issues with this company. To start they called me at work. You can say my place of employment is one that would be considered unusual or inconvenient by the FDCPA because we answer emergency medical calls on the line they called. When I picked up the phone they said they were a law office trying to keep me from going to court to put a lien on my car. They also said they mailed something to my address ( my correct address ) and it was returned. I'm not sure why this one piece of mail is returned but nothing else has ever had problems. The debt they are coming after me on is well over the statute of limitations in the state of Ohio, and when I asked what this was for all they could tell me is it was a mastercard. My credit report is clear of any derogatory marks. I have spent the last 3 years monitoring my credit closely and taking care of any old debt on it.
