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

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute accounts do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these accounts ; XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Balance : {$1500.00} ; XXXX XXXX  ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Balance : {$1600.00} ; XXXX XXXX  ( Original XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$16000.00}. 

If you feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

Complaint sub-issue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

Found this card in my husbands things after his death. Called to inform them in XX/XX/XXXX that this was not opened by me and I did not authorize My spouse to open this account. Letter sent to Customer Service/Fraud unit on XX/XX/XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Equifax has failed to accurately update the CURRENT STATUS of paid accounts as PAID. I have attached a portion of my equifax report to show the issue with SEVEN accounts by 3 different creditors. Each of the creditors has indicated the account is paid in full, but Equifax only indicates that in the comments and fails to indicates paid under current status. This results in a lower credit score and results in statutory damages that are ongoing. <P/>For each of the seven accounts, the balance is XXXX and there is a comment showing paid. However, the CURRENT STATUS remains 'Charge-Off '. <P/>I have previously asked Equifax to fix this simple, obvious issue. They point to the creditors needing to fix it but I have discussed this with the creditors who state they are reporting the accounts as Paid in full for less than the full balance. It is Equifax who is only showing this in comments and failing to change current status. These same creditors who report to XXXX and XXXX show the same accounts as PAID. <P/>The accounts can not be paid AND a charge-off at the same time! Under the FCRA, Equifax can either show my current status on the accounts as Paid, Paid - Was a Charge Off, or it MUST delete the accounts. <P/>My understanding is that Equifax is SYSTEMATICALLY FAILING to indicate the current status as PAID when creditors update the accounts as Paid in Full. Each of the accounts on my attached and annotated Equifax credit report CLEARLY indicates they are paid and Current Status must match. No consultation with the creditors is needed in this matter, as the creditors have each correctly updated the status as PAID. <P/>Equifax erroneously shows the current status as Charge Off while showing Paid in the comments. <P/>This erroneous, systematic reporting of my accounts as current Charge-Off status lowers my FICO score and damages me financially, since my credit offers are reduced and interest rates are increased from the lower score due. <P/>Further the CFPB should inquire with Equifax to learn whether this is happening systematically to ALL consumers who pay charge-off accounts.

To cover the cost of tuition acquired federal and private student loans. Shortly after acquiring my loans,  Discover increased my monthly payment to {$650.00}. I call Discover  on several occasions to negotiate a lower monthly payment, and I was told to pay {$320.00} at the due date and pay another {$320.00} before the next due date to avoid going into collections. Managing my payments that way would eventually became very problematic for me. However, I did as I was told for as long as I could, until my contract at work wasnt renewed . I called Discover a gain to explain my situation and I also explained that I had an arrangement with  XXXX  to cap my monthly loan payments at {$450.0 0}. Discover woul d not offer any flexible options for repaying loans. I had to decide between, rent, and keeping my other debts  (  credit cards ) current.

As I write this letter I still owe over  $     40K in Federal student loans and I have close to $ 10K worth of credit card debt. I want to pay all of my de bts and improve my credit worthiness but at this point in my life I dont make a whole lot of money. Outside of my private student loans, I have never defaulted on any loans or credit product. My federal student loans, credit cards, and car loan are all current. The primary reason for all this is because they were willing to offer me a flexible payment option. Today I can honestly say, my private student loans are  one of t he reasons for my  XXXX .

Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

I 've called Sallie Mae a few times now to try and get an extended loan for lower monthly payments.

Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

I have student federal student loans. And for 3 years, beginning in 2011, I was contacted by many people from different companies, claiming that they could help me " consolidate '' my federal student loans. They told me that President XXXX, came out with ways so that us borrowers could now consolidate our student loans. 
Initially, for a few years, I did not respond and simply hung up on them, I do not know how they got my phone number to began with. Finally, after many telephone calls of constant pressuring me I listen to XXXX of these callers and they told me they would consolidate my loans for a fee. And for a year I paid this fee and an initial fee and when they " so called, consolidated my loans '', I was totally dissatisfied with who they consolidated my loans too. They put them all with " Great Lakes ''. I did not want them to be with Great Lakes and when I told them I was not satisfied with what they done to me, all they said was, " well, its done and there is nothing we can do about it, be glad they are consolidated. '' So now I am stuck with this Great Lakes company that I do not know and do not trust. I wanted to have XXXX XXXX consolidate all of my loans. 
I believe that I was used and thrown away, because they took my money and did not advise me in any way, shape, or form, as to what my possibilities/options were for companies that consolidate federal loans ; or explain anything to me. I was used and lied to. 
Is there any way that I can get my loans away from this Great Lakes Company? Would appreciate your help, I am sick of being used. I am a veteran and served my country honorably, I deserve to be treated better. 

Thank you.
