Complaint sub-issue: Debt resulted from identity theft

While checking my XXXX credit report. I discovered that a collection has been placed on my file for {$1900.00}. I personally contacted collection agency IC SYSTEM, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, MN XXXX, disputed the validity of the debt and requested under Fair Debt Collection Act ( 15 USC 1692g ), and requested that the Company provide me with any signed contract as well as billing invoices of the said unpaid bill within allowed time under the law. Upon belief and information, this account does not belong to me and/or may be as direct result of ID THEFT.It`s paramount that an investigation be conducted to determine the validity of the account. 
IC SYSTEM deliberately ignored my requests and has continued to proceed to collect on an unlawful debt without just cause, and as a direct result has caused me serious economic hardship and inability to secure employment or housing and/or obtain credit.
Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

I mailed a letter to the credit bureaus on XX/XX/2021 asking them to validate suspicious accounts i noticed on my credit report due to my identity being compromised.

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

I have been trying to work with Equifax XXXX  and XXXX on resolving inaccuracies on my credit report I will attach one of the letters showing the discrepancies on all 3 that need removed. My last attempt at contacting the took more then the time allotted for them to reply/no response at all to the investigation all items were sent by certified mail and they did not remove the items.

All 3 bureaus are reporting inaccurate information..re aged accounts etc.
Complaint sub-issue: Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online

I was attempting to use my new Citibank credit card obtained through XXXX. My first purchase was at XXXX in XXXX XXXX to buy a prescription for {$15.00} on X/XX/18. I decided to buy several items at XXXX 3 miles away. Upon using the card for the second time that day the machine misread the credit card chip and my transaction declined. The message was to contact member services. I contacted member services to hear that their fraud department flagged my credit card on only my SECOND transaction only an hour after my first transaction. I spoke with XXXX and her supervisor XXXX who both were incredibly redundant in their message of being unable to help me due to their fraud department being down and going through maintainance. They flagged my account and were unable to remove it. I asked them to provide better customer service other than to say check back in 4-5 hours. I asked them if they could call me when it was resolved. They said they could not. I asked them if they could have fraud department call me back, they said no. I was upset at the lack of helpfulness or initiative to provide BASIC customer service. I am left with no answers, frustration, and a brand new credit card that I can not even use until who knows when.
Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

I have made a dispute with each bureau and it has been more than 30 days
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

XXXX filed a response to my last dispute stating they have removed a bankruptcy from my credit report. Their response also indicates that it was removed due to exceeding the timeframe for verification. They are refusing to admit that the public information was never verified. I have proof of the continual lies. The bankruptcy is still showing on my credit report even after XXXX claimed they removed it. The response from XXXX states that bankruptcy is verified with the XXXX system. MORE LIES AND I HAVE PROOF!!! There is no bankruptcy listed under my name in the XXXX   system. This bankruptcy should be removed immediately

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

This complaint to Equifax result of their non-compliance to my request and for their refusal of getting the items, listed below, to be removed or corrected from my credit reports. They neither removed nor responded to my request which I believed to be against the Federal Credit Reporting Act 's rules. Thus, I am sending this complaint to seek help and assistance to help me block the concerned items for they were found erroneous and unauthorized.
Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Submitted a payment for 2 loans on XX/XX/XXXX. One payment would completely pay off one loan ( {$31000.00} in principle, {$5500.00} in interest ) and a partial payment to another loan of {$42000.00} ( {$11000.00} in principle, {$6900.00} in interest ). 

My payment history lists the amounts paid to both principle and interest. However, their loan detail and payment screen continue show that the interest has not been paid off. The payments were applied to the principle but not the interest. This is also seen on the loan screen of studentaid.gov. 
MOHELA has not been able to offer an explanation for this. I sent an electronic message but was I was instructed to call customer service. I called customer service in XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX but no one could explain my situation. Today, a supervisor told me to wait until the website was updated. This was due to the extreme workload they were receiving, even though the payment was placed 6 weeks prior.
Complaint sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

I 've recently reached out to the credit bureaus to make them aware that the filing date of my Chapter  XXXX  Bankruptcy is incorrect.
Complaint sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

I work for a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  plan. We offer Medicare advantage, which is considered a saftey net health plan. Saftey net health plans do qualify as a public service for the elderly. 

Despite this, my employer has been labeled as not qualifying as an employer for PSLF. Because this informatoin is not redily available, my employer will not 'check the box ' that they offer a public service for the elderly. This is causing my loan forgiveness application to be denied, despite the facts presented above. 

Non profit companies ( not 501c3 ) have no guidance on whether they are qualifying employers, despite the fact they can be qualifying employers. Can you please help confirm the qualifying status of a non profit health plan who offers medicare?
Complaint sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

In an effort to recover the {$8000.00} hacked and stolen money from my checking account with OZK Bank of Arkansas who refused to return the money to my account. After numerous meetings and correspondence with the bank to resolve the issue they still refused citing an obscure " Regulation E '' of the Dodd-Frank Act as the reason. ( See attached " Certified Letter to the President, XXXX & XXXX, of OZK Bank of Arkansas, XXXX XXXX '' explaining what took place. I never received confirmation it was signed for! No response at all from XXXX XXXX. 

There are a number of personal reasons that occurred during the period in question of my hacked account that were not considered including : ( I should have been offered an extension to the " Regulation E '' considering the circumstances leading up to the hacking ) ( 1 ) Covid-loss of income. 
( 2 ) XXXX XXXX. 
( 3 ) XXXX XXXX Diagnosis & Treatment. 
( 4 ) XXXXe- Problem sending and receiving texts, emails and internet. 

I filed a lawsuit with 9th District Small Claims Court in an attempt to recoup some of my losses ( up to {$5000.00} ). Bank OZK responded with an offer of {$500.00} to settle the case which is not acceptable. 

I then received a letter from the XXXX XXXX County, Arkansas Clerks Office 9th District, Arkansas ( Attached ) notifying me that the case was being transferred to Civil Court on OZK 's request. 

I did not and will not approve this action! 

I do have copies of my OZK statements which clearly show when the hacking occurred which are available on request.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I have a single account that is being reported as two accounts to the credit bureaus. In addition, the credit limit and the minimum monthly payments are reported incorrectly. The account has a XXXX limit. One report shows XXXX, another shows XXXX. These errors are causing problems in my home buying process, and Upgrade refuses to give me written documentation clarifying that I only have one account, and that they will fix the errors. The reason they give for this refusal to provide written acknowledgment of my actual account status is privacy issuesdespite the fact that they regularly post documents with similar personal information to my account portal. 

Im at risk of my home mortgage being denied at this point because of this misreporting, which makes it appear as if I have {$1500.00} in min monthly payments due to Upgrade. 

In addition, the truth in lending statement for this account is deceptive. The amount Im actually charged monthly is nearly double the amount shown on the XXXX, despite the actual balance being thousands less than the XXXX statement shows a payment amount for.

Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

I had applied for Public Service Loan Forgiveness in XX/XX/2017. Before leaving for the XXXX XXXX that month, I filled out the appropriate forms and spoke with a friend representative on the phone to clarify everything and she said everything was cleared and my time in the XXXX XXXX would count towards my 120 monthly payments to forgiveness. I left XXXX XXXX after 7 months and called my provider to let them know of the change, the representative said it was ok and those payments would count. I am currently working for a non profit organization and called to check in with my provider when online it had said I only have 1 payment so far that would count towards the XXXX. This representative let me know that because my loans were not in the repayment period of while I was in the XXXX XXXX, none of those payments would count. I was completely mislead by the previous representatives and now feel very discouraged with where I am in the PSLF process as I thought I had a years worth of payments completed towards the total 10 years, but am actually starting from square one. I am very disappointed by the misinformation given to me by my provider.
