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

I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report and found late payment on the dates below : XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX I am not sure how this happened, I believe that I had made my payments to you when I received my statements.

Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

I started working for XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I tried to submit XXXX paperwork in XXXX to get my payment counts started, but learned my loans were not the correct type and a consolidation was necessary. This was completed in XX/XX/XXXX when my ffel loans were consolidated into direct loans. Fast-forward to XX/XX/XXXX and the temporary inclusion of ffel payments XXXX. I waited until XXXX XXXX ( apologies, I don't have the exact date written down ) before I called my servicer at the time, XXXX, to inquire why my account hadn't been closed out under the new terms. I was told that the department of Ed had not sent them payment information on prior loans so they couldn't do anything. I nosed around online and found payment information on my ffel loans and included screenshots ( not the best documentation, I know ) along with a fresh pslf form, hoping that would prod them into reviewing the account when it came up for review. This form was never processed and my account was transferred to MOHELA in XXXX ( at least XXXX additional calls had been made to FedLoan seeking status of the DOE XXXX, which I'm told was received, but there was no way to give me an estimate on when my specific data would be reviewed ). We are now 12 months later with an account that has had ZERO action by the servicers, that has a documented qualifying period between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Given the existing qualifying range, this balance should be forgiven without any further paperwork required. I have included screenshots of my XXXX payments made on the ffel loans ( serviced by XXXX ) XXXX as well as screenshots from MOHELA records XXXX the beginning and end of the qualifying payments already recorded. All calls with MOHELA have had wait times in excess of 2 hours with no progress or concrete information available. 
I am not, and have not asked for much -- just a confirmation my ffel payments are on record and that the loan is scheduled for forgiveness before we enter another tax year. It blows my mind hearing people that had to consolidate their loans and submit pslf forms for the first time being forgiven and I can't get an account simply reviewed and forgiven off historical records. 
Any assistance in getting this done in XXXX would be much appreciated!
Complaint sub-issue: Reinserted previously deleted info

I filed a dispute with Equifax and my results are dated XX/XX/2016, they deleted the address of : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TN XXXX I explained that this address does not belong to me, I have no knowledge of this address. Equifax has re-inserted it back on my credit report, after they sent me correspondence that it was deleted. I demand that this be looked into immediately as it is a violation of FCRA. Thank you for your investigation into this matter.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

According to my credit report, I have an account with JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYSTEMS XXXX. I am very confused about how I ended up with not only an unauthorized soft inquiry, but also a debt of {$980.00} that I somehow owe to JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYSTEMS even though I've never done business with them. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Credit Bureaus are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts that they post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for their reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 
I do not, nor have I ever held an account with JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYSTEMS. I have never signed any kind of physical agreement to pay this amount to JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYSTEMS, nor has the  debt been verified on my credit report. 
I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) that all three bureaus have on file of the accounts listed above because their failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if the bureaus ( along with collection agencies ) are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, they must remove the accounts listed above. I demand the following accounts be verified or removed from all three bureaus immediately.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Equifax should not be reporting a collection/chargeoff on the XXXX XXXX partial account number XXXX. This account is being reported as a duplicate with a higher, incorrect balance. I have attached a copy of the duplicate accounts from my credit report. Please remove this line item. It is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to not report accurate information. This false reporting of a duplicate account is harming my credit score. I have contacted the bureau to remove this however, I have not been successful.

Complaint sub-issue: Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off

US Bank was the title holder on my car, which was included in my bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX. The bankruptcy was successfully discharged in XX/XX/XXXX. I received notification from my attorney in XX/XX/XXXX that there would be a final hearing on XX/XX/XXXX to complete the bankruptcy. I was called by the attorney 's assistant and told that it was complete. They would send me paperwork and fax a copy to US Bank to release the title. 
I called US Bank starting in XX/XX/XXXX asking about the title. I was told they did not get any paperwork from the attorney 's office. I waited 30 days then called again. I was told it was in " processing ''. that it would be 7-10 business days before I received it. 
Same story every month. XX/XX/XXXX I called again. Different person. Said she would send the request to the processing people. I called back XX/XX/XXXX. The processing people said they did not receive that request ; call back in a week. I did. I was told at that time that the title lien was released to the county where I lived before I moved to XXXX XXXX TX. on XX/XX/XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX County and they said they had received it and I could apply for it over the phone with them that day. I finally got the title 10 days later. I am appalled that the US Bank personnel could not look in their records after one of my phone calls and tell me that the title had been released. And why to the County? Why not to me?

Their business practices leave a lot to be desired, and their phone message that the call may be recorded for training purposes is a hoot! Who are they training? Certainly not the people who call themselves customer service representatives!
Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Under the PSLF I should be able to receive loan forgiveness after 120 payments while working full-time in a public service field. I pulled all of my records in XX/XX/XXXX and believed at that time I had made 125 payments on my XXXX student loans. ( Actually, I made far more than that given that I began working in Public Service in XXXX, but the years from XXXX don't work. ) I never received any good explanation of the discrepancy between my account and the PHEAA count on these loans. Then, I lost my job as an XXXX for a XXXX XXXX XXXX due to Covid budget cuts in XX/XX/XXXX. Since that time I have only found 20hr/wk work in XXXX, so none of the " forgiven '' loan payments from this time period count. I would like a direct response to each month of payments ( I have bank statements proving every one ), and why they didn't all get counted.
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

On XX/XX/2022, I sent a communication to Equifax to investigate inaccurate items on my consumer report. 

It has been over 30 days and I have not received any response from Equifax regarding the investigation. 

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information ( 1 ) Reinvestigation Required ( A ) In General. Subject to subsection ( f ) and except as provided in subsection ( g ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a consumer reporting agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a reseller, of such dispute, the agency shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from the file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or reseller. 

The law plainly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately delete those items or information from my consumer report. It has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly.

Complaint sub-issue: Loan sold or transferred to another company

Here 's our problem : We refinanced our RV with Bank of the West in XXXX of this year. Bank of the West, as of this date, has yet to send the title for our RV to the California DMV and as a result the California DMV has not sent us our XXXX registration and plate tags, which were due back on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Here 's the chronology : We paid the California DMV for the registration fees of {$950.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, the California DMV cashed our check on XX/XX/XXXX. 

We received a letter from Bank of the West on XX/XX/XXXX indicating we hadnt paid the registration fees. 

We received a notice from the California DMV on XX/XX/XXXX informing us they didnt have the title to our RV and couldnt complete our registration for XXXX. 

We have called Bank of the West to complain about this numerous times on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX. We sent them a letter outlining the problem after our first call on XX/XX/XXXX and sent it next next day delivery on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX tracking confirmed delivery on XX/XX/XXXX. 

They have told us each time we have called that a manager would get back to us in 24 to 48 hours with an update. No one from Bank of the West has called us with an update or solution, forcing us to call them each time and go through the problem again. 

Bank of the West has given us nothing but a runaround with still no solution in sight and our RV still does not have current registration and plate tags for XXXX.
