Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Nelnet has 2 separate loan accounts listed on all three of my credit reports. There is one loan and one loan amount only for the amount of {$12000.00}. I was late on XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Being that Nelnet has listed 2 separate loans, via my credit reports, it states I have been late 4 times ; this is incorrect.
Complaint sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

On XXXX XXXX I went to purchase food for my children and quickly found out my credit karma debit card got declined. I quickly called credit karma a few minutes later and was informed that my account was locked or frozen and they were escalating the matter to their specialist team. A few days go by and I still dont hear anything from either credit karma or their specialist team. I have called them every single day with no resolution and no reason as to why my account has been blocked/frozen. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from them to send in documents to verify my identity and bank account information, and I did so. I sent them picture of the front and back of my government issued ID and a bank statement. They still will not release my account off hold. Credit karma has been nothing short of a nightmare. They are holding my ONLY source of unemployment income and refuse to release it. No matter how many times I call them, they tell me the same thing their going to escalate the matter to the higher team or your account is being looked into. I also tried to link a new bank account ( that belongs to my husband ) to try to get my money out of that account as I have no source of income because they wont unfreeZe my account. I cant transfer my funds out of the account, and even though I sent in proof of my bank statement, they are requesting more and more documents from my husbands account and still wont unfreeze my account. I have XXXX children That I have to feed and take care of. Im in a hardship right now and they are holding my only source of income. I have spoken to the credit karma supervisors, I have called the bank that FDIC insures credit karma money spend and save accounts, they sent an email to their superiors to see if theres anything that can be done. They only insure credit karma money spend and save accounts, so they dont have the power to unfreeze my account. Im not getting any answers as to WHY my account is frozen. I need help to resolve this ASAP. Thank you XXXX XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Please note I have sent 3 different dispute letters to Equifax dated XX/XX/2019, XX/XX/2019 and XX/XX/2019. There are currently 5 medical accounts which were showing on all three credit bureaus. Each was sent the same letters on XX/XX/2019. As of XXXX both XXXX and XXXX has since deleted the accounts due to the fact they were not able to VALIDATE or Verify the accounts in question. All except for Equifax who keep sending responses saying it is verified. I have also sent documentation showing that neither the collection agencies nor the Credit Bureaus were able to validate and the accounts should be deleted. 

The FCRA states that the credit Bureaus verify their information before putting information on my file. Not just send a request or response from XXXX. How are they determining this person is me? According to FCRA there should be proof of my signed document as the proof that this is me. I did not receive a notification that the investigation was completed. I just happened to call in. I just spoke to a supervisor named XXXX who have informed me that I can not even request the documents that are in my file at Equifax. She then told me that it is the collection agency that has to do the validation which according to FCRA laws are incorrect. 

I demand from Equifax to see the verification that was used that these accounts are mine since other collection agencies were NOT able to verify. I am very concerned that on top of the breech that Equifax had that they are NOT following the laws of the FCRA. I demand that Equifax remove these collections until they can send FULL Verification of this Medical Debt that could not be verified but they are still reporting.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I decided to reach out to the XXXX in regards to late payments that are showing on my credit report because I knew that I was in forbearance and the late payments should have never been reported. I was told there was nothing they could do for the information was correct stating that they reached out to me several times. I never received anything from XXXX in regards to me being out of forbearance. After searching through my emails, it was brought to my attention that my loans originated with XXXX XXXX and XXXX took them over fall of 2014 therefore my late pays from XXXX of 2014 do not fall under XXXX they fall under XXXX XXXX and should be removed. How can XXXX Report to the credit bureaus late pays that were never really theirs? They are reporting false information. As of today I am current on all my student loans.
Complaint sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Hello on XX/XX/2022 I sent a inquiry removal letter and FTC report to EQUIFAX and received a computer response by mail. I called and all they did was submit another dispute and resolvedit thesame day which tells me they don't care.They dont understand this is hurting my record and tarnishing my character, They are brushing off my issue and not taking me serious. I know per the fair credit reporting act legally these unauthorized inquiries must be removed and blocked. Please remove all information resulting from Identity Theft pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. & 1681 c-2 ) which states that these accounts must be removed within 4 Business Days of receipt. My Info was also impacted by the Equifax data breach so I dont know who could have my information now. I do not want a fraud alert placed on my credit profile none whatsoever but I demand these FRADULENT inquiries be removed please.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

My wife and I leased XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX of XXXX, XXXX. on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for {$68000.00} after XXXX rebates and all other incentives from the dealer. The lease was financed by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX AZ. We also put {$5000.00} cash for down payment. Due to medical financial hardship ( son diagnosed with stage XXXX XXXX in XXXX, XXXX ) we contacted XXXX XXXX to do voluntary early termination and return the vehicle. They agreed without any early termination fee and told us to return the vehicle to the original dealer. After handing over the vehicle on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, the inspection was done while I waited, once the inspection was all completed. The vehicle return XXXX made me sign a XXXX Return Notification ( similar to a contract ) with all the breakdown of mileage, accounting etc. and total Charges of {$31000.00}. ( see attached ). Sometime between XXXX and XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX sold the vehicle in auction for {$51000.00}. In XXXX, XXXX, XXXX started sending us bill for {$11000.00}. I contacted them several times finally, I got someone that could tell me about the sale amount of the vehicle. I requested the receipt of sale, which I got in mail for {$51000.00}, we were not notified about the sale until we requested for. I told XXXX that we made XXXX payments all before due date amounting {$6700.00} or more, plus {$5000.00} down which they have record of. And asked them since, they sold the vehicle for {$51000.00} and we only owed the {$31000.00} to refund us the difference. If they took fair market approach, then the vehicle sold for more, and if I kept the vehicle for 39 months I would have paid them {$37000.00} per contract after all wear and tear. After 39 months they would have not got approx. {$64000.00}, what they got now. We had to consult an attorney, after second notice, XXXX replied, stating that, we have to send a check for {$11000.00}. It still shows on my wife 's and my credit report. Please see attached attorneys letter.
Complaint sub-issue: Application denied

Last week ( week ending XX/XX/18 ) I applied with CitiBank for a " Double Cash '' card. I got told the response would come in the mail. 3 days later I received TWO letters of decline with two different case numbers on them. I then called the number on the form to inquire, as I have a good credit rating and was told I was approved, not declined. I asked them to remove one of the requests to decrease the credit pulls, they said no. 

Then I was asked if I was satisfied with the credit limit ( it was VERY low, starter card low ) and I said I was not. They said to call when the card arrived. 

I called when the card arrived and was told to call back this morning. I called back this morning and was informed that my account was closed at my request. I told them this was not the case and they told me I had to reapply. 

This card is DESTROYING my credit without my request or permission. There has to be something I can do, please help. 

My calls were all made on a recorded line, I have these recordings if it helps.
Complaint sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

In XX/XX/XXXX I submitted my most recent disputed against a debt listed on my credit report by XXXX XXXX account # XXXX for a repossession that was conducted in the state of Florida in XX/XX/XXXX. I have been disputing this debt via the credit bureaus since approximately XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX finally decided to provide notice to the credit bureaus that the vehicle had been sold around approximately XX/XX/XXXX. They should have updated that information to the credit bureaus in XX/XX/XXXX upon my first dispute with the credit bureau agencies and they did not. I have requested via the credit bureaus that XXXX XXXX provide proof that said vehicle was sold and to verify the amount that the vehicle was sold for. XXXX XXXX since this whole period of dispute began in XX/XX/XXXX hasnt provided proof of sale or purchase amount since the disputes began. Also per the Florida repossession statue 537.012, XXXX XXXX should have provided me or the joint owner with a notice of time, place and date of sale or auction of the vehicle, which they did not. It was not until I began to dispute via the credit bureaus in XX/XX/XXXX that they advised that they sold the vehicle. This XX/XX/XXXX I disputed once more via Equifax requesting that XXXX XXXX  provide proof to me of the amount the vehicle was sold for as well as advised that I wasnt notified of the place and time where vehicle was sold/auctioned and requested proof that. I requested proof that XXXX XXXX notified me of the place and time of the vehicle sale/auction. XXXX XXXX still hasnt provided me with that proof. I find that XXXX XXXX is in violation of the Florida repossession statue 537.012 that states that they must provide the owner/joint owner with time, date and place of sale/auction and due to this statue violation I am requesting that this account be stricken completely from all of my credit files as well as the joint owners credit files.
Complaint sub-issue: Account opened as a result of fraud

On XX/XX/XXXX my husband and I went to Citibank in XXXX, CA to open up a {$100000.00} checking account, {$100000.00} savings account, and {$460000.00} CD. There was to be a {$1000.00} bonus added to the checking or savings account as a new customer. This never happened. 

In XXXX, XXXX we received a letter stating that due to lack of activity, the accounts were being closed. My husband called the bank and was told he needed to speak to XXXX XXXX, Citibank Relationship Manager. She looked into the problem and said it was not related to this account, that there it was related to an account in LA, previously set up by XXXX XXXX mother, XXXX, now deceased. The account previously put in XXXX XXXX  account. XXXX spoke with XXXX XXXX and said everything was OK, there was a question on the trust. 

Next thing we know, our accounts which we opened up were closed and all the money was sent back to us. When XXXX tried calling XXXX to find out why this was done ( we never wanted them closed ), she never returned the phone call. 

This is fraud!

Complaint sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Citi Financial credit card company is refusing to credit my account for payments made for the month of XXXX. I submitted XXXX payment on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I always call to verify payments went through. When I called, they said it did n't go through, they said I " had never used that account before. '' They would not tell me what account they were talking about or verify what account number they were using. I used an account I have used for years, which has more than adequate money to cover the payment. I resubmitted the payment, by phone, to the customer service representative on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. When I called on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, to verify they had made the payment, again it was not credited. I submitted the XXXX payment again, even though they still would not verify they had transcribed the account number correctly. On XXXX XXXX, when I called again to verify, it was still not credited. I submitted another XXXX  payment. You see, this is a XXXX interest account which will start charging interest if a payment is made late. Again, Citi refused to tell me the account number they were using or if they had miss written the number. Finally, I transferred entire balance to a different card and attempted to close Citi. They keep adding fees & will not close it. I never received a bill, either.

I tried to make a purchase at XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX. I was told my credit card that my husband had with me as an authorized user had been closed. I called my husband and my husband told this employee that his information was incorrect because he just made a purchase in the store a few days prior. Employee at XXXX XXXX assured my husband he would help look into this issue. I was asked to enter a 6 digit number into this computer base. I did so because the employee assured me he was double checking with the credit card company. He acted nervous and finally handed me a 800 number with a pamphlet and told me to call to get this matter fixed. I found out by calling that this guy tried to set up another credit card which I did Not want or need. I contacted the store manager and got no help but sorry it's not under his control.I immediately contacted XXXX by phone and was told it was an Equifax issue. I contacted Equifax and made several complaints. I still the hard inquiry is on my credit.

I have Not gotten anything in the mail from Equifax regarding this issue. They have failed to rectify the problem.
