Issue descriptions shown- Debt is not mine is closest to describing the situation. There is NO debt. 
Alleged creditor is XXXX. Purchased phones from XXXX XXXX 2013. Not satisfied with service. Returned phones within 10 day satisfaction period. XXXX attempted to collect {$320.00} for termination. At first attempted to not allow portage of phone numbers to XXXX. After 3 1/2 hours at XXXX, vendor in store was finally successful in accomplishing this. 
When I requested for XXXX to provide a copy of the contract proving the debt was valid, they did not. After attempting for several months to collect by making harassing phone calls, XXXX turned the {$320.00} amount to an initial debt collector. 
This debt collector actually sent written communication about collection. I requested that they provide written documentation that the debt was valid ( any documents such as a contract ). Just like XXXX, they did not. 
This debt collector then apparently sold the alleged debt to another collector- AFNI. I did not receive any written communication from them about collection. I believe this may be in violation of the FCRA. They made several harassing phone calls. I requested that they provide written notification about attempted debt and to not contact me anymore until they have provided that. They never have. They also have not provided written documentation that the debt is valid. Since they never gave written notification as to what the debt was ( XXXX ), it has not even gotten to the step of my requesting that they provide written proof of the debt. 
Instead, they have added this item to my credit report and show it is in collection. As well, it is showing in the report that they have turned it over to attorneys for collection. I believe this may also be a violation of the FCRA since it is merely an intimidation ploy. 
Based upon complaints I have read about AFNI, they are unscrupulous in their methods and have many violations of the FCRA on their record. They added it to my credit report without providing any written documentation about the collection OR written documentation showing proof that the debt is valid. They add it to a credit report as leverage to collect the debt and did not act either ethically or legally. 
My credit score was XXXX prior to this item. I have had only XXXX missed credit card payment due to a delay in the mail on my report prior to this. It is now down to XXXX because of this item. I disputed it and Experian indicated that it is valid. I am not sure how AFNI was able to prove that it was valid since they have never communicated with me via any written form. I would like to have this item removed from my report entirely and also pursue legal action against AFNI due to violations of the FCRA. 
Please advise. 
Thank you.
I opened a checking account at Bank of the West in XX/XX/2016 and requested to close the account on XX/XX/2016. Bank representatives rejected my request because they claimed I opened a " line of credit '' on the account which I never did. Meanwhile, they stated I have used the line of credit and owe money on the line which is a surprise to me because I have never requested nor used any line of credit. I only withdrew my initial balance out of the account to close the account. The local branch representatives could not give me an explanation for why this line of credit was opened and why it says I used some of it. In the meantime, the account is also accumulating monthly fees because I have a zero balance and they wo n't close the account to investigate this error. I am being harassed with bank letters notifying me they will contact collections to collect the outstanding fees on the account. What this financial institution is fraud and reminds me of XXXX fraudulently opening accounts on their customers behalf without them knowing, and charging them fees in the interim. This is a bad surprise that I hope to resolve and prevent to happen to others. Please help!
I had been in repayment with Sallie Mae/Navient for over 15 years. i needed reduction of payments, but i also wanted to pay pff principle. Over the course of 7 years, my principle never went down until an associate finally understood what I wanted. I did not have help from my family or parents on finances, and was ill informed and given repayment options that did not meet my needs. I would have never taken out that much money if I knew I to use the option to repay, nor would I have chosed anything that gave me capitized intreest charges. How can a company get away with students not paying down the princiaple for over 10 years??? that shoudl be illiegal.
I purchased a watch from an online merchant, XXXX XXXX company and never received the watch. My bank of america Visa is now refusing to credit me back the amount. This is merchandise not received. I asked BofA to send me their policy and it states that I have 120 days from promised delivery date to dispute this. I purposely used my BofA Visa to purchase this item for my protection. I have called BofA several times, produced emails showing the delivery date and they are not refunding me the amount.
I have received 2 e-mails from Experian stating they have my results ready. Yet when I go into the " get results '' on their Website..it states I am not able to retrieve this information. I have e-mailed them..and tried several times to get to my final results with Experian but am not able to get it on online even though they have given me the Report # XXXX ID XXXX -- nothing comes up. 

I need my final dispute results please.
Around XXXX of XXXX I noticed XXXX XXXX XXXX reporting an open account on my credit report. I immediately called them to ask why they are reporting an open account on my credit report and was told that I applied for this account and purchased something for {$480.00}. I told the person I talked to that I did not make any purchases with their company nor did I ever apply for a credit card with them. I was then transferred to the fraud department who then told me the account would be closed down and that I will not be liable for any charges on this account. 
I then received a letter, dated XX/XX/XXXX, claiming that merchandise was shipped to customer 's verified address and unable to accept my fraud claim. I called once again and got into an argument on how they can not conduct a proper investigation. I then filed an Identity Theft Report with the Federal Trade Commission and sent them copies by Certified Mail and received another letter claiming a paper copy of the application is no longer available and totally ignored my identity theft report and also sent me a new statement showing a balance transfer of {$480.00} and with a new balance of {$510.00}. I did not conduct any business with XXXX XXXX   or XXXX and should not be held liable for an account that is not mine.
Navient failed to process my payment timely in XXXX XXXX and again in XXXX XXXX. I consistently pay almost double my payment due and request the overage be applied to the principal. When I cancelled the check XXXX XXXX, XXXX after the payment I sent on XXXX XXXX, XXXX had still not been processed, Navient magically found my check and sent me a letter indicating I did not send the payment to the proper address. The address Navient gave me in the notification letter was the same address I sent my payment to every month including the XXXX XXXX payment. When this same circumstance occurred again in XXXX XXXX, I called Navient customer service and XXXX verified for me there was nothing she could do and no one she or I could contact to address my payment concern. I would just have to pay another {$50.00} to my financial institution to stop yet another payment they failed to process timely and would not acknowledge they even received. XXXX kept assuring me she felt sorry for me but could or would not provide any recourse to solve the issue. She tried to verbally run me around the bush so she would not have to admit I would end up having to pay more interest. It is basic mathematics. Navient is playing games so I have to pay them more money in the long run while they add extra interest for the next payment from principal that would have been paid if the payment was processed timely. It may not seem like much when they do this every so often ; but, when your outstanding loans are significant, this extra adds up. I have followed every protocol and procedure allowed by Navient to be financially responsible and I am being persecuted and punished because Navient is greedy. I made my payments every month even though I did not receive a statement with a payment coupon for XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I believe Navient was hoping I would not notice and miss my payment incurring late fees and/or extra interest on amounts that would accrue on a higher principal. Navient does not provide a mechanism to pay online and allocate the overage to go to the principal of the loan ( s ) which would provide instant verification the payment was received. The only mechanism currently in place to allocate overage payments to the principal is through paper check with an accompanying letter to signify the borrower 's wishes for the allocation of the overage towards the loan. Navient has consistently disregarded my wishes NOT to advance my payment due date ; also hoping I would not keep paying consistently and reduce the principal on which interest would be figured. Navient consistently engages in immoral and unethical business practices which could be construed as predatory practices meant to harm the consumer.
Not sure if I have this marked under the correct section. Here is the issue. I checked my credit score last week and seen this XXXX had put something on my credit report. The issue I have is they reported it 2 times on my credit report which dropped my credit score greatly and now I am having trouble getting credit I needed. I called them and they acknowledged in error they put it on there 2 times it should of been removed immediatly in my opinion
Reporting of obsolete accounts has shown up on at least XXXX ( TransUnion and XXXX ) of my credit reports. This is old debt that was sent to collections in XX/XX/2004, and thus is past the date at which it can continue to be reported to the creit reporting companies. I want any and all information pertaining to this debt removed from my credit reports. I am attaching documents that show the dates of original default on the debt, as well as current proof that it is in collections. Thank you.
I responded to an offer via XXXX XXXX for auto-loan refinancing through XXXX to see what rates I'd be eligible for. I filled in some of the requested information online but did not return to complete the process. A representative from the company called me the same day ( XX/XX/2018 ) and got additional information about my vehicle and said someone would call for a follow-up. Then on XX/XX/XXXX, I received an alert from XXXX XXXX informing me that a new inquiry was added to my TransUnion credit report. I never gave permission for my credit to be ran. I was never given an offer for refinancing via telephone nor the web portal. Per XXXX 's FAQ, " During the application, we do a soft pull on your credit that will not negatively affect your credit score.  Only when you choose an offer to submit for lender approval, does XXXX run a hard pull against your credit which may affect your credit score. '' I spoke to XXXX XXXX about this issue and he said he'd conduct an investigation and get back to me. This was XX/XX/XXXX and I haven't been contacted again since. I sent him a follow-up e-mail last week which has not been responded to.
The company is reporting adverse information to the credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, Transunion, XXXX  & XXXX. I send the company a dispute letter asking for proof of the adverse information they are reporting to the credit bureaus. The company provided a generic letter stating they are not able to change the delinquent ratings reported to the credit bureaus. The company did not provide any proof for the adverse information that they are reporting. I have disputed this issue several times with the credit reporting agencies ; and they claim they verified the information as accurate. The credit reporting agencies is verifying the information through there XXXX system with a code ( a electronic third party data base ) and not doing a reasonable investigation as stated in the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The company is responding to the credit reporting agencies with an XXXX code. The credit reporting agencies can not verified 100 percent of the information as accurate without any documentation or proof.
I have been a victim of identity theft and I have accounts in collections that are bringing down my credit and not allowing me to qualify for credit cards or home/auto loans.
Equifax is claiming US Dept of Education is reporting accurately. They informed me I needed to talk to the data furnisher directly. So I sent requests for information multiple times with no response from them. I then sent a letter to Equifax informing them the US Dept of Education failed to respond to my request for further information. It has now been over 6 months since my original contact with the data furnisher & over 30 days since I sent my letter to Equifax to remove the account. I would like this account removed from my report immediately. Both XXXX & XXXX have removed this account months ago.

We have a mortgage with Wells Fargo and have been impacted by the flood of 2016 in Louisiana. Wells Fargo is showing favoritism to customers by denying full release of checks to us while fully releasing checks to others ( who we understand have family employed with Wells Fargo. ) Our settlement check is for {$230000.00}. The other person 's check is for approximately {$200000.00}. According to a letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2016 from Wells Fargo we were declined the release of this check due to the amount. " On XXXX XXXX, 2016, another customer of XXXX XXXX, LA was notified of a full release of their check and was given funds from the local bank. They also received a certified letter from Wells Fargo in early XXXX prior to Wells Fargo receiving their Proof of Loss statement notifying them that they would be able to have their check fully released to them. On XXXX XXXX I contacted Wells Fargo and spoke to XXXX XXXX in the Property Loss Department and asked what was the criteria to have my check fully released. He stated that it was based on the amount of the check. I explained to him that a customer received a letter notifying them that their check would be released and this was sent without Wells Fargo knowing the amount of settlement. He then sent my call to XXXX who is on the Resolution team. I asked the same question and was told that it was not based on credit, standing, loan to value or any other criteria but simply based on the amount of check. Checks at $ XXXX would be released. He stated that if someone received that letter without knowing the amount of claim, " then that letter must have been sent out by mistake. '' At this point, I requested that my check be released to me in full stating that we our outstanding customers, never in default, professionals, willing to provide past 2 years tax returns, great credit scores and that we had a vested interest with substantial equity in the property and were not a high risk. We were declined. We have been continuing to make repairs to our home. Wells Fargo has completed an inspection on the property and determined to be at 50 % completion and this is without using the settlement check that I still hold in my possession. We are no different than the other customer other than we do not have a family member working for Wells Fargo and we have completed 50 % of the work while the other customer has done 0 % to rebuild their property. How is it possible that consumers can be treated differently as such? We can provide names and documents to substantiate our claim.
I currently monitor my credit reports and scores across several different websites. I use XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. On XXXX XXXX I received notification from several of the sites that my Equifax score had gone down over 100 points. Upon logging in to the sites I saw that Equifax had removed EVERYTHING from my credit file but 2 charge offs from XXXX. I immediately contacted them by phone. The representative could not explain what happened but directed me to fax a letter stating that my credit file was missing and to include copies of my social security card and driver 's license. She gave me confirmation # XXXX for the call. I faxed the letter that same day. The next day my credit file from Equifax was reinstated. Two weeks later the very same issue happened again. Again, my credit file was gone except 2 charge offs from XXXX. ALL of my positive accounts were gone. This tanked my score to XXXX again. I faxed them a letter about the issue again on XXXX XXXX, XXXX to have the issue corrected. This time it took a week for everything to be restored. Now the issue has happened again! Again my Equifax credit file is missing all of my positive accounts. I noticed that as the companies re-reported, each one is added but it is not fair to me to have to keep going through this. Equifax has a responsibility to report 100 % accurately and timely. They are not doing that. They are severely hindering my chances of being approved by a lender because my credit file is not reporting all of my positive accounts. With this complaint I am uploading proof of my contact with Equifax about this issue, proof of how this has severely damaged my credit at no fault of my own, and proof of my positive accounts that they other bureaus are reporting correctly.
I disputed fraud charges on my account for charges amounting to whole balance of the account and Chase denied my claim for some saying they were done on the applepay and same phone as chase app use to access the account, I let them know that my chase account was comprised including the login information. With the other transaction they denied it saying the chip on the card was used and that there were other charges that came in after that I did not report as fraud, this is another issue because I reported the entire transactions totaling to the balance of the account including those their saying I did not dispute as fraud. So the issue here is that Chase does not want to do it's job and really investigate my claim, as they even say in the letter they sent me, they completed this in two days and they never sent me any paperwork to sign and return back for the fraud claim so Chase didn't really do any investigation or any interest in getting the funds back from the merchants. They were also interested in holding me responsible for this and not really work on it, I have enough to file a lawsuit and will if they continue to do this behavior.
On XX/XX/XXXX my wife received a phone call ( on her personal cell phone-my name isn't on it ) from ARA regarding a XXXX credit card from the XX/XX/XXXX 's they are claiming I am responsible for paying. They told my wife that because the interest was still accruing the card was still active, even though I had made no payments in well over the 4 years covered by the statue of limitations. They threatened to jeopardize our cars and her credit cards just because I am a authorized user. They also claimed they were about to file with the XXXX XXXX courts. 
I sent this company a request for validation letter in XX/XX/XXXX, and no response was received. This company tries to collect every time we move. They told my wife that because now we have plenty of money we should pay this. 
They also told my wife she should not be angry because they called her, because " you married the man ''.
I had two collections with XXXX XXXX XXXX. They called collecting a debt in early XXXX and they offered a settlement for each of the accounts if I could pay the settlement offer in full. It was also agreed that once the payments were made in full they would remove the negative collection from my credit report. I made the payment and have made several attempt to have it removed from my credit report. They now are stating that they never agreed to remove the negative information.
Started off with a federal loan through Sallie Mae Services with out my consent my loan information went to XXXX. Where they charged me several late fees, after my loans where in deferment for financial hardships. Which XXXX appears on my credit as late for non payment which is affecting my credit wordiness.
I always pay the full balance of purchases that I make each month when I receive my Discover Card. 
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I made a {$460.00} payment by phone to Discover Card so that my payment would be timely for the XXXX/XXXX/XXXX due date. I was given confirmation # XXXX. 
However on my next month 's statement Discover Card charged me a late fee of {$25.00} on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
The next due date of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I again paid my purchases of {$730.00} by phone on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX XXXX ( XXXX office ) and she gave me confirmation # XXXX for my payment. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Discover Card charged me a {$35.00} late fee plus {$15.00} interest for a balance that I paid timely. 
Discover Card continued to bill me for late fees and interest on the disputed late fees for every month thereafter. It has ballooned to {$130.00}. I wrote to Discover Card on two ( 2 ) occasions XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX, XXXX and they have not replied. 
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I retrieved a credit report from XXXX and XXXX. My credit score went down due to XXXX negative entry posted by Discover Card. Discover reported that I was thirty ( 30 ) days late for the month of XXXX XXXX. I was not late. I paid the amount that I charged. I simply refused to pay the disputed late fees and interest. I have attached my statements and copies of my letters.
A while back ( year or two ) I did a balance transfer to chase. However I just checked my statement and I see that not only am I being charged monthly interest ( Which is normal ), I am being charged a monthly balance transfer interest as well. I have never heard of this and do not remember reading about that years ago when I switched. This is been cost me XXXX  and {$36.00} a month for XXXX knows how long. If it was in there was probably hit in the mound of mice type that you cant see. I would like this fee taken off and a refund For the money theyve taken each month from Me for this bogus fee. My wife has done many balance transfers and is never receive a monthly balance transfer fee. I couldnt even find something like that on the Internet when I just tried to find it.
