Complaint sub-issue: Problem with fees

We made the credit card balance payment on the due date XX/XX/2022 at XXXX pm CST ( the time zone where we live ). But the card issuing bank ( Citi ) still charged us a late fee ( {$29.00} ) and an interest ( {$27.00} ) saying that the payment should have been made by the Eastern time. Never did they say clearly that the deadline is according to the EST ( or, it must have been in very fine print which we were never made aware of ). In our opinion this amounts to defrauding the consumers by using a different time zone to slap consumers a late fee and an interest, and hence we are seeking a full refund of the total disputed amount ( {$56.00} ).

Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

My husband and I were advised by the Department of Education and American Education Services to apply for a Spousal Consolidation Loan in 2005. We were not informed that the DOE was about to pull the plug on these XXXX loans, and they would no longer be recognized by the DOE. These loans are not eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness like Direct Loans are, and they are not eligible to be reconsolidated into a Direct Loan. We would never have done this Spousal Consolidation if we had known this information. I only had {$6000.00} in loans, but my husband had XXXX. At this point, we have paid XXXX, and owe XXXX due the 7.5 % interest rate on this loan. If the loans were able to be separated and reconsolidated into a Direct Loan, my husband 's portion would qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. He has worked in qualifying employment for over 13 years. Please help correct this horrible situation!!!
Complaint sub-issue: Account status

I have filed more CFPB complaints against Equifax than I can count. The company has repeatedly failed to take proper action to correct my credit report. 

I have nearly a dozen accounts with incorrect information on my credit report. This includes incorrect balances, accounts that are closed being reported as open and duplicate accounts. I have notified Equifax of problems with my report multiple times, you can view my complaints with the CFPB as proof of this. 

For example, my credit report lists XXXX open XXXX XXXX accounts when I have XXXX open accounts. It lists XXXX open XXXX accounts when I have XXXX open account. It lists XXXX open Comenity accounts when I have no open accounts. The list goes on. Some of these accounts have not been updated in years. Equifax tells me it 's the creditors fault. The creditors tell me it 's Equifax 's fault. Nobody wants to rectify this. 

I have spoken to the public affairs department at Equifax which is rude and unhelpful. A gentleman took a dispute from me but so far nothing has happened with it. The creditors have ALL CONFIRMED THEY ARE REPORTING TO EQUIFAX O THE PROBLEM IS WITH EQUIFAX NOT THE CREDIT COMPANIES. 

There is XXXX a problem with my report where information that is being reported by the creditors is not being updated for some reason. My other credit bureau reports are updated fine, so I know the creditors are reporting. This is happening with a multitude of creditors too, so it 's not just XXXX company that is having a problem placing information on my Equifax report. Accounts are updated for a few months, then the reporting stops and I am left with incorrect information ( i.e. that closed accounts are open ). This is a huge problem and has a huge impact on my credit.
Complaint sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Issue with Equifax reporting : Last year I did some rate shopping for an auto loan and my report was pulled by 4 financial institutions. 3 on XXXX/XXXX/2016 and one on XXXX/XXXX/2016. These institutions were : ( XXXX/XXXX/2016 ) XXXX, XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX & ( XXXX/XXXX/2016 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX. I 've read in multiple places online that rate shopping for auto loan rates will only count against your score 1x if done within a certain time frame. When I checked one free site, it showed XXXX of those inquiries counting against my score. I called Equifax 2x in the last week and everyone I talked to told me a hard credit check was a hard credit check regardless of what it was for and was gon na count against me even though there are multiple blogs on their site supporting the rate shopping will count as 1 hit against your score.
The first time I called I requested a supervisor and then a manager. The manager told me that only one of the rate shopping pulls was showing on my report. When I asked her about the new changes regarding liens and civil judgements she stated that my bankruptcy and paid tax liens were no longer on my report. I then bought one of their products to check my score and low and behold, it was all still there. When I called back I was again told nothing could be done about the inquiries. When I was denied a credit application, I requested my free copy. The report has two inquiry sections, ones that effect your score and ones that do n't. All XXXX of those inquiries are listed under the effects your score section. I do n't know what to do about this or how I can get it fixed so that only XXXX of those credit pulls is negatively effecting my score especially since I 'm mortgage rate shopping.
They also are reporting my XXXX student consolidation loan as open when it was bought out by the XXXX XXXX XXXX after the approval of my XXXX  discharge : the balance showing is {$10000.00}. I intended to file a dispute against this but am quite discouraged at their ability to fairly resolve disputes.
Any advice and assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX

EOS CCA is aggressively attempting to collect debt for XXXX XXXX for the collection balance that was resolved and paid to XXXX back in 2015.

Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I sent an account validation letter to PMAB that was received in their office on XX/XX/2020. I received a response date XX/XX/2020. First problem was that i did not receive anything that was signed by me to give the permission to have access to very private information. ( HIPAA violation ) The next problem I noticed was that they have changed the account number from what they are reporting to the 3 major bureaus.Example : One account is being reported as XXXX but they responded to my validation letter listing that account as XXXX. They did this for each account i requested validation for. I have tried to dispute these accounts with the bureaus and they are giving me push back when I forward the information to them that I received from PMAB. This is clearly an attempt to keep me from disputing the validity of these items.I have been keeping very meticulous records of this situation. I will not hesitate to use all resources available to me to protect my rights.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Someone took over my lease at the XXXX XXXX XXXX complex. And the new tenant has an overdue bill so now the apartment complex sent a collection agency after me. The collection agency failed to contact me and damaged my credit without telling me about the debt or trying to resolve it with me first. I had to find out from XXXX XXXX. Even though I signed a lease-closing document when I moved out that stated I wouldn't be responsible for any debt the new tenant will accumulate. Now the apartment complex has accepted their wrongdoing and removed it from my credit but I lost 22 credit points because of this derogatory mark and gained none after the error was removed. I was planning to get a car loan and did not get the rate I wanted because of this. I asked Equifax and XXXX  both to do more research on my score to repair it and they did nothing.
