Complaint sub-issue: Account status

I have an account with XXXX XXXX out of XXXX, Ga. that has been in chapter XXXX bankruptcy since XX/XX/XXXX. I 've had several issues with XXXX reporting my account correctly to Equifax. First, XXXX continued to report the account as a charge off account. I 've spoke with XXXX and Equifax many times. The issue still is n't resolved after over a year of me filing complaints. Now, XXXX is reporting the account as a payment that 's past due also. I spoke with XXXX XXXX at XXXX about the issue on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The account was included in the bankruptcy and had a starting balance of {$2600.00}. I now owe them about {$23.00} and I 've never missed a payment. I 've been dealing with this for over a year now. Equifax has been no help. All they tell me is to call the creditor. Farmers should be charged with fraud.
Complaint sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Debt collection company EOS CCA called my work line hundreds of times over the course of the past several months at all hours of the day. Each time a robo coller with no person on the line would call then hang up from dozens of different numbers. When I called to tell them to stop they would not respond. When I blocked their phone number they would use a different phone number, This effected my business and has cost me thousands of dollars in damages. ( Since I won't answer unrecognized numbers we have lost many prospective sales as a result. )

In reviewing my credit report in XX/XX/2018, I learned a company, XXXX XXXX XXXX, had reported a debt in XX/XX/2018 and never contacted me. To this date, I have received nothing. I attempted to contact them as soon as I discovered the item on my credit report. I wrote to the address on the credit report and USPS returned the mail undeliverable. I submitted online disputes with XXXX and Equifax. No investigation responses were received from them either. I wrote to other addresses I found for XXXX XXXX  and have never received any response. I sent letters XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/2018 to XXXX. The online disputes were submitted to the credit report agencies during that time and again recently. I have spoken with an attorney who states they are in violation of FCRA and FDCPA as this effects my ability to move to suitable housing and they did not respond within 45 days with verification of this alleged debt.

I contacted the company and asked them to remove their credit inquiries from my credit profile.

Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

As a currently serving member of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am required to maintain a favorable credit report history. It has come to my attention that there are items on my XXXX  credit report that I am in the midst of disputing. 

In the interim, I am also asking for your assistance in this matter. Specifically, the ( 5 ) aspects to this inquiry are noted below and all appear to relate to each other. 
My contention and recollection is that in XXXX, Key Bank may have transferred my education loans to a new servicer, XXXX XXXX. All payments were made to them. Then, in XXXX, I received a severance payment and paid off all said student loans in full. 

None of the institutions below could provide me with sufficient information from which to move forward toward any understanding of payment history or reflecting that the loans had been paid in full. Therefore, I am asking for your assistance and look forward to a resolution with your findings. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt resulted from identity theft

I was scammed on my XXXX credit card by someone I met on line at a dating site called XXXX. I have sent all this information to XXXX Credit Card and they will not forgive the amount of money I was scammed. I live only on Social Security and can barely make ends meet. XXXX has been harassing me for this money and they have turned me over to a debt collection agency. I have reported this to my local police department, Internet Crime Complaint Center, the Federal Trade Commission, And now to you the CFPB.
Complaint sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

I have disputed this on more then one attempt and CFPB closed account without investigating my complaint against IQ Data international false claims. CFPB states that A debt collector may not collect any interest or fee not authorized by the agreement or by law. 

The interest rate or fees charged on your debt may be increased if your original loan or credit agreement permits it and no law prohibits the increase, or if state law expressly permits the interest or fee. I have argued this fact in my previous statement and nothing has been done about this false claims by this debt collector. I have not agreed nor signed anything agreeing to a third party interest or any kind. IQ Data international states in this letter stating under the CFPB Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX Iowa XXXX, IA XXXX Re : Complaint of XXXX XXXX Case Number : XXXX and XXXX Internal Reference : XXXX We have received your dispute letters of XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, XXXX, in which you dispute the interest charges on your account in our office. We collect amounts owed to rental properties, and our records reflect your account was placed with our agency on XX/XX/XXXX, to collect {$640.00} owed to our client, XXXX XXXX. Initial notification, with instructions to dispute or make payment, was mailed on XX/XX/XXXX to the addresses submitted by our client which was unfortunately returned as undeliverable. Our office again mailed notification to your updated address on XX/XX/XXXX. Our office disagrees with your assessment regarding charging interest. Your account is accruing interest of 7.00 % per annum as allowable by law. This interest rate was disclosed in your initial notification. 

Under what Law is this allowed under Fair Credit Act? Under the 807. False or misleading representations. A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section : ( 1 ) The collection of any amount ( including any interest, fee, charge, or expense incidental to the principal obligation ) unless such amount is expressly authorized by the agreement creating the debt or permitted by law.

IQ Data has been sued for this same Tactic more then XXXX times. I request this company provide proof they are entitled to this false claim stating I agreed to this debt or even signed any agreement stating I agreed to a third party interest fee. CFPB failed to investigate this false claim and I have been asked by my legal counsel to try again. If this complaint can't be resolved I will be moving towards legal matters suing both CFPB an IQ data international

Complaint sub-issue: Can't temporarily delay making payments

I currently have a loan with Nelnet. I have the income base payment plan, but the monthly interest is higher than the payment I can made. So my balance is increasing instead of being lower with my monthly payments because I am not paying enough to cover the interest. I write an email to Nelnet to  see if they can apply my payment to the principal, but they respond that my payment go first to interest and last to principal. And that I need to make additional payments in order to lower the principal. I can not pay a bigger amount right now and I feel that I am wasting my money because is not making any difference in my final balance.
Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Currently, I have a collection request from Enhanced Recovery Collections, for {$100.00} for XXXX XXXX, opened on XX/XX/XXXX. I am currently still a customer with XXXX XXXX. About XXXX years ago I moved addresses, during this transition I created a new XXXX account to service the new address. I was unaware that I owed any outstanding money to XXXX and even checked my old account, which still shows no amount is due on either accounts, and was never contacted by them about the {$100.00} owed. XXXX had my phone, email, current credit information and current address on file and was still providing me service, but neglected to inform me or charge me of the amount they claim I owed at my previous address. The Enhanced Recovery Collections attempted to contact me, and I truthfully thought they were a fraudulent attempt to acquire my credit information, as why would a collection agency be contacting me for my current service provider that never contacted me requesting payment and did not have any record of me owing it on my accounts along with still providing service while having my credit information on file to charge me at any time? I now understand, as of XX/XX/XXXX, that this collection company is legitimate, after speaking with them their company policy is to not accept any pay in full for deletion letters, despite the lack there of in communication from XXXX leaving me not at fault for this collection request origination. After speaking with XXXX management, the same scenario, a company policy prevents them from contacting the collection agency, leaving no possible way to work out a pay in full for deletion letter.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Citibank refuses to remove me as an authorized user on my mother 's credit card. Both my mother and I have spent over 7 hours on the phone with Citi Bank on XX/XX/20 and XX/XX/20 respectively. We were transferred around endlessly between different departments, each saying they do not have the authority to process the request because my mother is on a repayment program, and I must talk to the department who last transferred us. It doesn't appear anyone at the company is capable of performing this routine function. 

Even though the account was closed nearly 3 years ago, they only started reporting my authorized user status to credit reporting agencies one month ago, which caused my credit score to drop 20 points in 30 days, so it is not a trivial matter. 

My belief is that Citibank wants to keep me as an authorized user and apply credit pressure in case my elderly mother dies or defaults on payments so that they can come after me, despite there being no legal justification for keeping me on the account that they can cite. Not only is the account closed, I haven't even had a physical card for this account or initiated a purchase on it in nearly 10 years. 

I don't believe they have the right to keep me on the account, or to continue reporting my involvement with the account to credit agencies after both the primary account holder and I have made more than reasonable attempts to sever my involvement with the account.
