Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX were XX/XX/2022,, but no response was ever received from them to date. Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, which states that continued reports of unverified information without any proof provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized. The following items listed below are still reporting on my Credit Reports and need to delete immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ...

Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company won't work with you while you're going through financial hardship

I am currently working with a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and working to establish a debt management plan for my Discover Card. My entire balance is sitting at XXXX  % APR. I spoke with their XXXXXXXX XXXX  and XXXX department and they advised that the debt management plan was declined because I have a {$200.00} transaction sitting at XXXX percent. This transaction is found on my statements as ACH FUNDS TRANSFER REVERSAL dated XX/XX/22. This transaction was the result of Discover reversing a double payment that took place on XX/XX/22. The {$200.00} should have been put back to the balance under the regular APR. 

When I've spoken with the XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX department they advise me they can not help me with the {$200.00} ACH transfer and that I must speak with Customer Service. Customer Service then tells me that there is nothing sitting at XXXX percent and there is nothing to correct and that my entire balance is at XXXX %. The XXXX XXXX and XXXX department is refusing to assist me with the debt management plan proposal as they have no clue what is going on with the ACH FUNDS TRANSFER REVERSAL dated XX/XX/22. Neither department will speak with the other and they expect me to be the middleman for their company however all they do is bounce me back and forth between the departments. 

I have attached the letter I received from XXXX along with an email from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am working with informing me why Discover declined the debt management plan.

Complaint sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

I took out a loan from XXXX in XXXX. With poor credit I didnt have too many borrowing choices, and the loan was at a very high percentage rate of around 120 % interest. I was in a bind ready to lose our home. Husband was laid off and out of work longer then expected. He did eventually find a job and I made my repayments back to XXXX every month until my husband was laid off again. I talked with XXXX to explain that our income went back down and I wasn't able to continue with the high payments. I asked if they could work with me. They could not. My account was sent to XXXX XXXX   out of New York and they offered a settlement amount. I agreed to it and started making payments. I lost my job in XX/XX/XXXX and haven't worked since and my husband took to driving out of state in a big rig to earn money. I tried to keep up my payments with XXXX XXXX and was working with XXXX. Unfortunately due to financial burden I just couldn't keep up and I missed a payment XX/XX/XXXX. This is where the trouble began. XXXX started some type of background check to see what assets I have. She is calling family members and my ex in laws looking for information, even though she has been in contact with me. She stated that they were going to investigate me and my husband so that they could put a lean on his truck and file a court order to garnish his wages. I offered to pay them the missed payment along with XXXX payment but she was not having it and got rude with me. She transferred me to a floor manager by the name of XXXX XXXX and he stated that I only have 24 hours to come up with the settlement of {$3200.00} or further action would be taken to get all the money that was owed from original loan of {$2500.00} plus the 120 % interest along with any court fee costs. He sent me a letter and suggested me to take out a consolidation loan. My credit score is only allowing me few options and it's very stressful knowing I have no way of meeting their demands within the 24 hour time frame they have given me. I am upset that they have had contact with me but yet XXXX continues her investigation tactics and is calling family and ex in laws looking for information or giving them my personal information to verify. She is being dishonest by telling them I gave her permission to call when that is an absolute lie! .when I took out the original loan I was already divorced from my first husband and would not have any reason to give his or his moms information on the loan documents. XXXX is looking into my information and calling people that have nothing to do with this matter. I want it to stop and the threats to stop. I tried to work with them before and still am. I was willing to still make monthly payments and had only missed one payment. This company is breaking the law and I have rights.

Complaint sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

On XX/XX/2022 I saw an alert XXXX credit report letting me know there was a hard inquiry for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which I immediately did not recognize. I contacted XXXX that day, which started a dispute process for the unauthorized hard inquiry. They were able to remove this from my report within a few days. The financial institution in question 's fraud department contacted me and left a voicemail on the XXXX. I attempted to contact them via the financial institution 's fraud line number but did not reach them immediately. When I reached out again about two weeks later, they told me about the credit card opened with my information, which they flagged as fraudulent within a few days of the account opening. They were able to successfully close down the credit card and the account they opened linked to the line of credit. 

On XX/XX/2022 I received a letter from another financial institution XXXX XXXX XXXX requesting I send them my paystubs so that the loan could be processed. I of course did not recognize this financial institution. I called the financial institution and let them know my identity was stolen, they immediately closed the loan application and, presumably, the account that was opened with it. 

XX/XX/2022 I contacted XXXX to remove the other hard inquiry for XXXX XXXX XXXX, which started a dispute process. Currently waiting to see that the dispute is resolved.

Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

In XX/XX/XXXX, I graduated from the school identified in the earlier prompt. I received an Interest Notice with an option to pay it off to avoid interest capitalization. I did. 

I made a payment in the amount of {$4700.00} on XX/XX/XXXX specifically directing XXXX XXXX to apply it toward the Interest Notice. XXXX XXXX misapplied the payment and capitalized the interest. The issue was not resolved through customer service until I filed several complaints with XXXX XXXX and, finally, with Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. 

Then I received the 1098-E for XX/XX/XXXX reporting the wrong amount of interest I paid in XX/XX/XXXX : {$1300.00}. The actual interest I paid was : {$4700.00}. I tried to resolve this discrepancy with XXXX XXXX before the IRS deadline to file my tax returns. I received an email/secure message that my tax information was reviewed and that the XX/XX/XXXX 1098-E will reflect the correct information. 

Recently, I received the XX/XX/XXXX 1098-E and it only reflected interest paid in XX/XX/XXXX : {$2300.00}. The information in the form is wrong for two reasons : 1 ) it does not include the remaining interest I paid in XX/XX/XXXX which XXXX XXXX promised to correct and, 2 ) it does not reflect the correct amount of interest I paid in XX/XX/XXXX alone. 

I am attaching all documents pertaining to this issue, including XX/XX/XXXX Payment & History spreadsheets downloaded directly from XXXX XXXX   Account with totals of interest paid in each respective year and interest reported in 1098-E.

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

CarMax reported two late payments on my credit report for a co-signed loan with my son. Reported dates of delinquency were for the months of XXXX and XXXX of 2017. I have contacted CarMax by phone several times, without resolution. I have challenged the items several times with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. I provided hard copy proof that additional payments had been made that were misapplied as " principal only '' payments which would have covered the dates involved ahead of time. One additional payment was made in XXXX of 2017 and the other in XX/XX/2017 which is when we were first alerted by CarMax that there was a report of late payment. had the XXXX payment been properly credited, the account would have been ahead of due date for any months following, and would not have been reported 30 days late. Had the additional payments made in XXXX been properly applied to whole payments, the account would have been rectified and further bolstered before going into 60, let alone 30 days reporting erroneously overdue. They made no attempt to correct any of this. If you can help it would be greatly appreciated!
