Inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information must be removed or corrected, usually within 30 days. However, a consumer reporting agency may continue to report information it has verified as accurate.

There exist two public records listed on my credit report that have not been verified by these agencies within the last 30 days. Each one is using old dates as part of their reference, dating back to XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX without either stating a verifiable source, such as the courts. 
Each of these bureaus are in violation of FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) to request a complete description of all methods used to investigate my aforementioned dispute related to the two public records listed on XX/XX/XXXX and Equifax ; and the one public record listed on XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

I obtained a credit card with Macys ( card issued with Department Stores National Bank ) since 2003. I have used the card and paid it back throughout the 17 years. During this time, I noticed they have never reported the credit card on any of the 3 credit bureaus. I have contacted several times throughout these years. Each time they ask me to send a letter with my name, account number, full social, explaining the issue. I follow their steps and they dont resolve the issue. I did receive a letter 1 of those times saying it was resolved. Two weeks ago I checked and the card was not reporting. I contacted all 3 credit bureaus, and they confirmed it has never reported. I contacted macys again and once again they asked me to send them the letter with the same information. I did, and now they are giving me issues and do not resolve the problem. After 17 years, and several attempts from me to get this resolved, it still has not.

Complaint sub-issue: Funds not received from closed account

On the XXXX of XX/XX/2020 I received an email from citibank stating my account is been closed and I will be receiving a check of the funds in my account sent to the address on file.

They imploring all this delay tactics for what reason I dont know. They never gave me anything in writing through the mail and didnt receive a phone call to address anything.

However, no contact information for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was provided in the dispute results or on my credit report. 

I have no account or dealings whatsoever with XXXX XXXX XXXX, nor have I applied for any account or credit with XXXX XXXX XXXX at any point in my life.
Complaint sub-issue: Denied request to lower payments

I had previously filed a complaint against Flagship Credit Acceptance. For issues in struggling due to Covid-19 pandemic. We were reached by a representative two days after we filed our first complaint, in which we made an agreement to make a payment. We agreed to make a payment on XX/XX/2020 in the amount of {$440.00} and then we would make another payment on XX/XX/2020 in the amount of {$440.00}. 

I did have to delay the XX/XX/2020 payment because unfortunately I started having the symptoms of Covid-19. I was tested on XX/XX/2020 and came back positive for Covid-19 on XX/XX/2020. I was required to quarantine for a period of time, as required by our local CDC. I did, contact Flagship to let them know about it and told them, unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to make the second payment. They did put in for the Covid-19 relief, which they deferred one month. Then we promptly set up a new payment arrangement date for the second amount of {$440.00} to be paid on XX/XX/2020, as I didn't get to even go back to work until XX/XX/2020, because of my quarantine time. ( If paperwork is needed to show proof I can submit that in addition ). 

However, even though we had a new payment arrangement agreed upon. Flagship Credit Acceptance has been calling family members listed as reference on my application asking them for payment on my account. They contacted my mothers phone number on XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/2020, XX/XX/2020 and XX/XX/2020. Harassing her for payment on the account, even though they have my phone number to contact me directly. At this point, it is becoming unbearable of their account representatives making harassing phone calls to obtain payment, even though we have an agreed payment date for the account situation.

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

Sir or Madam : I have been attempting to correct erroneous credit reporting over the past two+ years. 

Many items on the report are simply wrong. 

I have family members with the same and similar names. I believe that this may be part of the issue. 

The dispute process has been employed multiple times over the past two+ years. 

XXXX XXXX, Equifax & XXXX ( a.k.a. the CRA 's ) have failed to correct or remove disputed items in accordance with the FCRA. 

Regarding the CRA 's obligations pursuant to 'ReInvestigation ', this is where the problem lies. 

After the initial disputes are filed, I get barraged with electronic, canned responses that are the same each time. These equate to nothing more than electronically-generated FORM LETTER RESPONSES. 

I have repeatedly asked the CRA 's to have a HUMAN BEING REVIEW SIMPLE ITEMS TO CORRECT OR DELETE, HOWEVER, THE CRA 's HAVE NEVER, TO DATE, HAD A PERSON PROCESS MY REINVESTIGATIONS ( which I understand violates the FCRA 's requirement for ReInvestigations ). Please EDUCATE ME ON THE FCRA HUMAN REQUIREMENT ( s ), if HUMANS ARE REQUIRED TO DO THE WORK. 

This has created an enormous stress and burden on my family and I. 

We are in the middle of a mortgage application to honor the lender 's requirement that we pay the entire mortgage off ( through rate/term refinancing ) on or prior to XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. 

As a result of the failure of the CRA 's, we have been denied credit from XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX even though the our credit is stellar/eligible outside of these errors and misreporting. 

We were offered a discounted payoff of our mortgage if we paid it off by XXXX of XXXX, however, we were unable to do so as a result of the CRA 's failure ( s ). 

All told, this problem is damaging us significantly. The total damages exceed {$200000.00} as of the present date ( XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ). 

We are in jeopardy of losing our home if we do not perform and honor our current mortgage contract by paying it off by XX/XX/XXXX. 

We do not have the means to file an FCRA lawsuit, so, please help us! 

On behalf of my wife, XXXX, & children, we thank you in advance for any and all assistance the CFPB can assist us with having the CRA 's simply correct incorrect and/or erroneous credit reporting. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX, MI
Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

I was never contacted by XXXX or Nelnet that my loans were in default. I was under the assumption that since I had recently stopped going to school, my loans were not yet due. I was never sent statements or received phone calls regarding payment for my student loan. Once I found out that the loans were in default, I was never offerred a restructuring or forgiveness for my lates. I took the effort upon finding out how dire the situation was and consolidated under XXXX. They have since paid both XXXX and Nelnet in full. All I am asking both XXXX and Nelnet to do is to remove the late payments on my credit bureau report since I was not made aware the laons were due and in default, they had an incorrect address for me, and upon finding out about the default, neither of them offerred me a restructuring or forgiveness. I have sent numerous emails, letters, and made numerous phone calls to both and they are both unwilling to work with me due to their error.

Complaint sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

In summer of 2011, I canceled an XXXX cell phone account because I had zero coverage in the community I was living in. On several occasions, I contacted XXXX using friends ' phones to troubleshoot the issues. Each time, no fix solution could be found. XXXX placed many test calls to my number while I was home and all calls went directly to voicemail as my phone never rang. I paid the final bill and requested the account closed due to no home coverage which was fully verified. Years later, I 'm finding out I 'm in collections. Every month of every year, Afni , Inc keeps renewing the collection account on my credit reports. I contacted them before for the validity of the debt but my attempts were always unsuccessful for they would never respond or comply.

Complaint sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

I have tried over a year to access my Equifax report online through their website and annual free credit. I received the same error message from their site stating they can not verify my identity. I have submitted copies of my ID, pay stub and utility bills with my current address, name, and other important information. I made several calls to the company to gain access to my credit report online and been informed they can not give me online access but can send me a paper copy of my report. If I need to dispute anything on my report, I need to submit it back to them in paper format. I have disputed several items on my previous report but never received anything on a status of them. I have even heard them never received my request in the mail. I do not understand why I have not or am not able to gain online access to my credit report. No one can explain to me the reason why either. I need online access to my credit report so I can make documentations that the report was submitted with a potential deadline on my request.
Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

I have been trying to get into contact with the National Collegiate Trust, or NCT, in regards to coming to a settlement on my loan. They do no have any contact information available. The company that they use to service the loan, American Education Services, ( AES ) has refused to give me contact information for NCT. I have called and spoken to several supervisors, who have given me false contact information for some other bank - XXXX XXXX XXXX  - who have no idea why AES is giving out their number.

In short, I can't reach anyone to get any information or negotiate a settlement for my loan.

Furthermore, CFPB issued a lawsuit against NCT in 2017. 
https : //www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsroom/cfpb-takes-action-against-national-collegiate-student-loan-trusts-transworld-systems-illegal-student-loan-debt-collection-lawsuits/ I have since been made aware that NCT has been the subject of multiple lawsuits, and that my loan may be eligible for discharge.

I would like for NCT to provide me with irrefutable proof of ownership of my loan. If they can not provide this proof, I am requesting dismissal of the loan, and repayment of any and all payments made by myself to them on a loan they have no legal ownership of.
