This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint being filed by a third party, I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. 
I have a loan with XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX. I have always made my payments on time. For some reason, I realized that there were 30 days late payments on my credit report for the month of XX/XX/XXXX and 30 days late payments for the month of XX/XX/XXXX. I have read enough to understand my rights. The XXXX and Equifax Credit Bureaus are required to verify for themselves, but they failed to neither verify nor update me about this complaints. I believe the company is violating Sections 616 & 617 of the FCRA, as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients. XXXX and Equifax shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer. If the consumer to whom the file relates requests that the first 5 digits of the social security number ( or similar identification number ) of the consumer not be included in the disclosure and the consumer reporting agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the consumer reporting agency shall so truncate such number in such disclosure. & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information. If the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a my file at XXXX and Equifax are disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a creditor, the Bureaus 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 my 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 creditor. I believe theyre unwilfully noncomplying with federal law & this issue is create a ton of emotional physical stress. Id like this matter resolved ASAP as it is impacting my health & wellbeing. Please update the late payments from this account. Below is the account with erroneous information and Id like remedied XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ......

Equifax Company fails on many levels. The reasons are stated below : Supervisor of Equifax XXXX XXXX states " Equifax often misrepesents information ''. XX/XX/XXXX Supervisor XXXX XXXX VERBALLY confirmed the dispute I filed has been resolved and cleared. 

Extremely poor customer service at many levels by several agents prior to finally speaking with Mr. XXXX who failed as well.

An email confirmation had been sent by Equifax with a confirmation number which confirmed I could verify my results.

Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Credit Karma kept emailing and stating on their site that I had good credit, but that I could improve my score by opening another line of credit. They also suggested that I had good odds for a card with XXXX XXXX to transfer my current XXXX balance and have XXXX XXXX for 1 year to pay down this debt. So I applied and instead of the {$3000.00} transfer amount with statement of closing XXXX credit line, I was given a {$600.00} line of credit. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX  I explained what I wanted and why and was told that because of my XXXX income, my mortgage, the XXXX account, my XXXX XXXX from XX/XX/2013, and my credit scores, that is all that they could do for me. I asked if I could close the account and was told it would give a negative reflection on my credit report, so I asked what if I don't use it and told that was less negative because it would show as closed due to lack of use. I was advised to use it and pay it off within 1-2 billing cycles for it to have a positive impact on my credit rating. So both I have issues with both companies providing false advertisement and enticement for improving credit and providing the dollar amount XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on balance transfers. 
This occurred between XXXX XXXX XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

There is 2 accounts that are reporting on my XXXX credit report that is suppose to be deleted. XXXX has finally confirmed these 2 accounts and deleted them off my report however XXXX  keeps just updating the information which is wrong. XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX should have been deleted off my XXXX credit report over 2 months ago. Yesterday XXXX/XXXX/2017 I received a letter in the mail of the outcome from the investigation again. It shows the same information that these accounts have been confirmed as mine and updated. This information is wrong which is leading me to believe they are not doing a proper investigation. Like I mentioned earlier XXXX had done there investigation and deleted the 2 accounts. That means the same response from these 2 companies should be the same. I have been disputing this with XXXX for quiet some time now and they refuse to delete these accounts which is causing a hardship and a negative impact on my credit score. I am submitting this complaint about XXXX because they fail to do a proper investiagtion because I myself have contacted both companies and was told the information will be deleted once they receive the dispute.

Complaint sub-issue: Can't temporarily postpone payments

I have had a number of problems with my private loan from Key Bank. They principally deal with the difficulty in getting a forbearance for what I believe to be legitimate reasons. First, when I called them asking about a forbearance they said that my loan did not qualify for a forbearance. But when I looked at my promissory note it said that a forbearance is possible, but at the bank 's option. I believe there is distinction between not being qualified for a forbearance and them looking at my case and rejecting it. When I asked ( after several calls to their customer support ) if there are any options besides a forbearance they said that they have a suspension of payment program that I would have to apply for and then the " work-out team '' would decide if I was eligible. I asked for a six month suspension of payment ( but I was willing to shorten the duration ) because I had to take a leave of from work ( from a company that I co-own ) in order to go home and take care of my dad who was recently XXXX. After talking to numerous customer service reps and managers, I was finally told by a manager that they did not consider me taking care of my XXXX father as an emergency situation that qualified for any assistance at all. 

Additionally, when I recently finished XXXX in XXXX I started making payments on my loan in XXXX - which seems like an incredibly short grace period. Further, when I called their customer service to see if I could postpone or lower my monthly payment so I could have time to get a job ( all I would need is three months ) in order to even consider a decrease in monthly payments much less postponing them, they said that I needed a job offer with an exact start date. I found this odd because I was looking work and could start immediately, so if I had a job in hand, why would I ask for a postponement because I was looking for a job? 

In general I found the customer service incredibly rude and insensitive. One representative even asked me if I really had to be there with my dad when he was XXXX of XXXX. I have other student loans ( although this is the only private loan ) and they all have been incredibly helpful and easy to deal with. I believe that Key Bank represents among the worst in the student loan business.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not mine

I am lodging a formal complaint against ehanced recovery company. This debt collection company has violated my rights and the XXXX. I recieved a dunning notice from this company in XXXX of 2014 advising me i had XXXX days to ask for validation on a XXXX account i have no knowledge of having for a horrific amount of {$1000.00}, i immediately sent them a debt validation request within the XXXX days, which was sent via XXXX certified mail with return reciept. enhanced recieved my validation request i have the return reciept and copy of the debt validation letter, which i will keep for my records. Enhanced recovery intentionally ignored my debt validation request, instead of validating the debt, enhanced recovery reports this negative debt to the XXXX major credit reporting agencies, which in return has damaged my excellent credit. I want this negative account deleted from my XXXX credit reports immediately!!!!!!!! I will also be filing complaints with my XXXX attorney general office, and XXXX attorney general office!!!! I Have done my research on this company, and found out this is normal for them too do. They have numerous negative complaints for their deceptive business practices. Please do not continue to let this company think they can continue treating consumers like XXXX! Thanks for your time!!!!!!

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with product or service terms changing

I 'm am unable to update my score and report as per my product to soft pull my report on equifax. I have called numerous times and it is fixed for a short period and then again has to be escalated to technical support so it " does n't happen again ''. I 'm on the phone for 1 hour each time and ran in circles. My creditors are unable to soft pull current information, the only information they can soft pull is from the last time my report was able to be updated. I 'm unsure of what information would be pulled during a hard pull. The supervisor I spoke to said that this is n't a new problem and they are aware of the issue. It is also frustrating to try and understand the representatives as they do n't speak very good English. I think this problem goes beyond paying for a service that does n't consistently work. It is my credit and they are put in charge of keeping accurate information for my creditors. I 'm concerned that if they ca n't get updated information that this will have a negative effect on my credit standings. I do n't have the same issues with my credit monitoring from XXXX or XXXX.
Complaint sub-issue: Information is not mine

After the statute of limitations ran on an old XXXX store account, Equifax started reporting a duplicate account thus showing I defaulted on XXXX, not just XXXX. I disputed it with Equifax. They concluded their investigation by saying credit granter verified the information ( but not on which account ) and to call Credit Granter for more information. I called XXXX at the number Equifax provided and they told me that the account had been sold and that their not reporting the duplicate account to Equifax.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

I signed up for XXXX XXXX  AAdvantage MasterCards, issued by Citibank, that earned XXXX XXXX miles for spending on the cards. XXXX XXXX recently terminated my frequent flier account, unilaterally and without warning, claiming that my miles were earned fraudulently. They offered no details to support this claim, and offered no opportunity for me to challenge the decision. They confiscated over XXXX miles which represent a commercial value of approximately {$5000.00}.

Since my miles were earned primarily though the CitiBank credit cards, via an arrangement Citi has with XXXX, this violates the card agreement between CitiBank and myself. I abided by all the terms of the Citi cards and they provided those miles as an inducement for my business. XXXX then stripped those rewards- Citi should be responsible for replacing the value lost.
