I have tried calling - never get to speak with an actual person. Everything to order the Free Credit Report based upon Credit Denial is very confusing. When I tried today, I had to enter everything either by responding verbally or by phone keypad, received my confirmation number but it then just kept repeating. THERE IS NO MEANS WHEN YOU CALL " To speak with a representative ''. What 's even more disturbing Equifax appears to make the requestor think they have to pay for the credit report - no mechanism to decline - then you have to hang up and start the phone call all over again. I believe Equifax is attempting to mislead someone like myself into paying for what I am legally entitled to for free. As a XXXX it is particularly disturbing and it is my request that the Consumers Finance Protection Bureau take action against Equifax for making is tremendously difficult for people to obtain their free credit reports.
I received a XXXX for the tax year 2015. I filed my 2015 taxes and included it as taxable income. I pay taxable income for federal and state taxes on the XXXX Chase Credit is still reporting to XXXX credit reporting agencies that I owe a balance of {$3900.00} after the debt has been discharged and cancelled. I have made numerous calls to Chase. I have disputed the balance with XXXX credit reporting agencies, but Chase Credit Card company says there is a {$3900.00} balance. I am applying for a home mortgage, but with Chase Credit Card balance they will not do a loan. They know that Chase will put a judgement against the home. Also Chase Credit Card is lowing my credit score by showing the balance is over the {$3000.00} line of credit by 128 %. The XXXX has box # XXXX checked states " decision or policy to discontinue collection ''. Box # XXXX has the discharge date. Of XXXX/XXXX/2015. Box # XXXX states " amount of debt is actually or is deemed discharged ( canceled or forgiven ). I know this is a new area with XXXX discharging debt, but they can not receive the Government Tax write off and still want to collect money. It is against the law for Chase Credit to sell this debt to a collection company to try to collect money that I reported on my federal and state returns as taxable income and pay taxes on their issue of a XXXX. I am also contacting the Attorney General of South Carolina with this problem with Chase Credit Card. I understand that Chase Credit will still report my account as closed by creditor, but I want the {$3900.00} balance that is not owe, to be removed from XXXX credit reporting agencies. Thank you
I payed for the debt. I asked for a certificate of deletion showing that they would remove the debt. They said they dont offer that just saying my debt was Paid. Its still effecting my credit report.
I have repeatedly requested that Cavalry Portfolio Services provide me with an explanation of the amount they claim I owe, how that amount was calculated, account history. They have refused to provide this or any copies of documentation that this debt is in fact mine. Yet they have been willing to put this unverifiable debt on my credit report, as well as send me a continuing stream of collection letters. Please see attached.
XXXX refuses to lower my payments to a reasonable amount for my income level. Ive never missed a payment but also have never been able to pay the full amount.
About three years ago I purchased a mattress from Sleepy 's. The cost was about {$3500.00}. Since this was a new memory foam mattress, Sleepy 's did not discount the price but I was told that, as long as my credit checked out, the 'loan would be interest free, ' as long as I made my payments on time, I was given a Synchrony Bank credit card, and I put the payment schedule on my XXXX On-Line Banking account to ensure that the payments were made in plenty of time to meet the deadlines and I would never be late making a payment. 
Recently I opened one of my statements for this account and noticed that I was being charged nearly {$1800.00} in interest. In calling Synchrony and asking how this was possible since I had made all the payments on time, I was informed that I had failed to repay the principle by the end of the 'holiday period ' and therefore was being charged interest at the rate of 29.9 % retroactively from the time I bought the mattress, a fact that I was totally unaware of when I bought the mattress. 
I am XXXX years old and have been a XXXX for over 50 years. I also have a XXXX income and a XXXX net worth so the amount of money involved is almost immaterial to me. However at the same time this type of behavior totally incenses me. It is bald faced trickery. The only excuse for making this type of loan in the first place is to collect 29,9 % interest from people who have little or no credit risk. I am sure somewhere in the 'fine print ' of the original contract this fact ( the 'loan holiday ) was described, probably in great detail but how many people in my business especially have time to read contracts like these, and how many poorer people can understand them?
Someone used my social security #, but with a different name, in XXXX thru XXXX.
I have a XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX reporting on my credit report twice and it's showing as a duplicate. This needs to be removed off all 3 credit bureaus immediately as this is affecting my credit score negatively.
I have filled fraud on my social security number already and still none of the negative reports are off my report. I 'm looking at this report and it look like it belong to someone else. Some of it simply is n't mine and some is very old and should be off no matter how times it get sold to different collection agencies. For example : XXXX XXXX XXXX on page 11, I 've never heard of, and even from this report it should be off. XXXX XXXX XXXX is at 16 years old and should be off my report.XXXX XXXX # XXXX # XXXX # XXXX I know nothing about and is false, Never heard of XXXX XXXX # XXXX before and should not be on my report, Never heard of XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX, and should n't be on my report, have not had an account with XXXX XXXX # XXXX, which is reporting here under the name JH PORTFOLIO DEBT EQUITI. # XXXX XXXX of these things I do not know of and is fraud and should not be there. Some are too old to be there as well. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX is false those are false balance owed. I am also requesting the inquiries be taken off my record as well, because I have not applied for credit of any kind from anyone to explain all these inquiries. I have filed identity fraud on my social security number, and had a fraud alert put on my credit. I am amazed at all the false reports on my credit report.
After the recent XXXX breach, it was strongly recommended that I participate in their 1 year credit protection through a 3rd party. In addition, I wanted to freeze information at other agencies : XXXX  Experian, etc. I was rudely surprised to find out that I would have to pay a fee to have this done. 
I did not solicit any interactions with these companies ; I did not ask them to track all of my purchases, credit history, etc. Why do I have to pay to have them stop monitoring me? 
I do not want or need any of their services, yet I am supposed to pay to NOT do business with them? Extortion?
I am a victim of Identity theft/fraud. 
I have notified this collection company/original creditor several times that the account does not belong to me, I have not in any way received goods or services from this company and I have provided my police reports, my FTC id theft AFFIDAVIT signed and notarized along with my sworn statement regarding the fraudulent account. 
documents submitted to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, EQUIFAX, XXXX  AND XXXX  XX/XX/2018, includes affidavit, police report, sworn statement w/ signed signature receipt XX/XX/2018, includes affidavit, police report, sworn statement w/ signed signature receipt XX/XX/2018, includes affidavit, police report, sworn statement w/ signed signature receipt This company is in violation of the FCRA. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX EQUIFAX, XXXX  AND XXXX   continue to report this fraudulent account on my credit report although I have provided these documents with no response from the company or any representatives. 

This account must be removed immediately, as it is in clear violation of the FCRA.
My mortgage company changed servicers effective XX/XX/XXXX. I have been making payments thru my bank for the entire year of XXXX. My bank automatically sends payment on the date I indicate and for the amount of my monthly payment. I have not had any problems the entire year and HSBC has been crediting my payments as normal. My bank made my XXXX payment as normal but towards the end of XXXX ( approximately XX/XX/XXXX ) HSBC called me to ask where the payment was. I immediately checked with my bank and discovered that the payment was mailed over two weeks earlier ( as usual ). I obtained a tracking number from my bank and provided it to HSBC. Apparently, HSBC " misplaced '' my payment for two weeks and they were able to quickly find it once I provided the tracking number. 

I thought this matter was resolved and received a letter in the mail from HSBC stating that the payment was applied to my loan on XX/XX/XXXX. I should have known that HSBC did not do the right thing at this point because the payment was " applied '' on XX/XX/XXXX, instead of being applied on the date it was received ( not the date it was found after HSBC lost it ). To add insult to injury, not only did HSBC apply the funds late, and thereby charge me additional interest, they are attempting to charge me a late fee and a {$850.00} " Property Inspection Fee ''. 

HSBC has been the worst mortgage servicer to work with ever and we've had so many problems with them over the years. Instead of getting into the past problems, we are asking you to please address the issue at hand. I believe they have treated me unfairly and perhaps violated other laws as well. For one thing, they lost my payment, that was made exactly the same as the ten prior payments ( mailed from my bank automatically every month ), then when they find my payment they did not back date the payment to the received date but instead date it when they " found '' it. Then they not only added a {$28.00} late fee but some insane {$850.00} Property Inspection Fee. The payment problem was clearly caused by HSBC, who very likely had the payment for at least 7-10 days prior to applying the payment - in order for them to profit by a late fee and some other, incomprehensible {$850.00} fee.
This is a Unfair Deceptive or Abusive Acts and Practices ( UDAAP ) complaint against Key Bank. I had a checking account with a credit reserve account attached to it. I moved away from convenient branch locations and therefore attempted to close the account via written notice and phone calls. I called on 4 separate occasions throughout late XX/XX/XXXX and early XX/XX/XXXX to get it closed. Each time Key Bank personnel said they would handle it but it never got done. The last time ( early XX/XX/XXXX ) I was told that they would contact the branch of origination ( XXXX, WA ) and take care of it. Nothing happened - however they happily continued to charge fees to the account and overdraw it in the amount of {$310.00}. Now it shows up as a negative on my credit report. This is unacceptable - it was Key Bank 's error and I believe they deliberately kept the account open and charged fees against as a revenue generation tactic.
XXXX XXXX close my account in XX/XX/XXXX and i tried to pay it current. XXXX XXXX Charged off the account in XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX bought the account. At the time in XXXX i did not know who they were so i did not answer most of their calls. I eventually talked with them and tried to work something out, but then i got repeated harassing, threatening calls with profanity in them. In XX/XX/XXXX, I became unemployed, homeless, and let them know that, however the calls came in until finally i blocked their number. 
Their threats came true in late XX/XX/XXXX, first week in XX/XX/XXXX when i look at my credit and found that XXXX XXXX XXXX went back in and rated the XXXX XXXX  account as Charged Off ( CO ) for every month since XX/XX/XXXX to present. This has caused me distress, as i was almost homeless again, because of their rating this account CO for all the months back to XX/XX/XXXX. I am a XXXX veteran and i'm trying to rent an apartment, but can't until i get this resolved. 
I talked to them again today and still nothing. I talked to XXXX to try and get a letter stating that the account was closed in XX/XX/XXXX and Charged off XX/XX/XXXX. Still waiting on the letter from XXXX. I have also filed a claim with XXXX  to correct the account. I have reported this company before for the abusive nature and tactics they take.
Regarding reporting to the credit bureaus, this is very disturbing to me that when I called to get information about my accounts to XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, I was assured that there would be no reporting of any negative actions until around early XX/XX/XXXX or after, if my account was not made up to date ; however, when I looked into my credit reports XXXX XXXX already started reporting to XXXX and Transunion that my account was past due 30 days on XX/XX/XXXX, which is much earlier than what I was informed it would be reported. The information was reported early to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. Transunion should have also stopped reporting by XX/XX/XXXX, yet they continue to excessively report it at 120 days 3xs this excess reporting needs to be removed from the account immediately. 
Additionally, another alarming detail is that although my account was closed in XX/XX/XXXX, which I was informed after the fact, then why was there additional reporting to the credit bureaus that my account was late after it was closed ; why? my account should have been reported as closed and reporting should have stopped ; yet my account was reported late for 6 months including 2 months of reporting before it was supposed to be reported as late and an additional 4 months after it was supposed to be closed. 
This early and unnecessary reporting has caused damage and rapid decline to my credit score. 
Please remove these excess reporting by XXXX XXXX and the Credit Bureaus off of my credit report. 
Please correct this matter to all three credit bureaus immediately and correct reporting to credit bureaus by erasing reports before and after XX/XX/XXXX, which is when the account was supposedly " closed. '' I have brought up other issues with this credit card account with XXXX XXXX, previously.
Original Creditor " XXXX '' sold this debt to Diversified Consultants they also wrote off this debt on their taxes which wrote off obligation to pay. Disputing this item being the contract was cancelled. I have no contract
ATM card was stolen. Bank security measures did not prevent thieves draining account. Bank is violating federal law by refusing restitution. I will continue to file these complaints and proceed with legal action until bank complies with federal law reporting requirements regarding debit card theft.
Trans Union  are n't aware that you must enforce the permissible purpose provisions of the fair credit reporting act and see to me that the inclusion of these inquiries complies with this federal law or remove it.  <P/>  Tran uni on or the issues did not remove the inquiry and follow through with federal law.
I am have been charged with an owed amount on my credit report from a medical office, but my health insurance had paid this balance. I should not have this balance or report on my credit report. They say it would clear in 7 years, but it should not be there at all.
To Whom It May Concern, I opened an American Express ( AMEX ) Gold Card because AMEXs promotion, which I signed up for, where I would receive XXXX American Express Membership Rewards ( MR ) if I hit a minimum spend of {$2000.00}. As of today, XX/XX/2018 I have hit that minimum spend and have exceeded it, spending on a family trip for my upcoming family reunion, other miscellaneous household items, restaurants, and family expenses as I do NOT engage in Manufactured Spending. However, upon checking my account balance on the AMEX website on XX/XX/2018 I found that I still have not received the said XXXX  MR bonus points. I spoke to AMEXs customer service on XX/XX/2018 to inquire about this issue and was subsequently transferred to the Executive team and spoke to customer service representative, XXXX. This female representative explained that I would NOT be receiving my points despite my signed agreement with AMEX. I was told that there was some type of activity of misuse under my account and I was not eligible for the bonus points that was agreed upon. I asked the representative if they could further explain the situation and they would not give me further explanation. Moreover, I asked if I could appeal or speak to someone regarding AMEXs final decision and they said that they could not do so. I believe that AMEX has been engaging in deceitful and predatory marketing practices leaving middle class customers, like myself, to fend for themselves without recourse or even a fair playing field. 

I appreciate the CFPBs help and support in this manner. Thank you.
I decided to pay off my loan early. When I called Navient on Tuesday,  XXXX   XXXX ,   XXXX  , the Navient representative acknowledged that my payment was received on  XXXX   XXXX ,   XXXX  . I was assured that next month I would receive a letter explaining that my balance was paid in full.   I did not receive any letter, so on Wednesday,  XXXX   XXXX ,   XXXX    XXXX  at   XXXX   XXXX   Eastern  Time   ) I  again called Navient. I spoke with "  XXXX . ''  XXXX  told me that a letter had been sent on  XXXX   XXXX ,   XXXX  , but he also assured me he would send an additional letter. He told me that the letter was coming from Pennsylvania.   Today is Wednesday,  XXXX   XXXX ,   XXXX  . I have not received any letters from Navient : not the first letter, and not the second letter.
I applied for Income Driven Repayment Plan and have repeatedly stated that my statements have been submitted in time and they will not acknowledge their error in not updating my account on time and that they lost my submissions. They refuse to update my acocunt and keep claiming they can not because it was past the deadline, despite it being submitted before the deadline. They did not let me know it was never received and told me all I needed to do was submit my income and it would be updated. Their company is deceitful and refuses to take accountability for their end of the financial agreement. I sent in all documents on time, it was the companies fault. They will resolve my account or further action will be taken. I have repeatedly and clearly stated the issue and that it was their fault. I submitted everything on time. They lost my fax. They should not advertise that you can sbmit via fax if they will not follow through.
I had an account with XXXX like five years ago, I actually did nothing wrong whatsoever and of course there was no abuse I never abused any checking account with any institution and of course not with an account i had open maybe like three months. 

I had someone working for me in the an other state I was trying to sent her via ACH like XXXX since this was a fairly new account instead of adding i was debiting her account which i adjusted immediately when I was made aware of the error at that point someone of the bank called me and was trying to scare me of and all that he was threatening me with all he could. to make a long story short they reported me to the Chex systems so I cant open a new account now cause of this issue please help me to get my records straight. 
Thank you in advanceXXXX XXXX
I have a CareCredit credit card through Synchrony Bank. I used it 3 years ago to pay for dental work for my friend. We set up the account to autopay from his account every month until the balance was paid of in 2012. The account has not been used until I had to have dental work done in XXXX. I got a statement from Synchrony with the my balance info and scheduled the first payment to be sent from my bank account. Unfortunately, my friend 's old account info was still retained in Synchrony 's system and they then took over {$700.00} from his account to pay the balance on my CareCredit card. I called their customer service line and they told me to look at my statement and I would find where they told me they were going to do that. That information IS on my statement but it is not on the first page, or the second page but down at the bottom of the XXXX page. I realize it is my responsibility to read and I should have read the entire statement but, as an employee of a financial institution and knowing we are required to put certain information up front, in bold and where our customers can readily SEE and UNDERSTAND that information, I feel that Synchrony Bank has totally FAILED in that regard. My friend stopped payment on the charge from his account ( so he could make his house payment! ) because Synchrony could not reverse the charge in a timely manner ( up to two weeks ). My other credit accounts that are autopay SAY that on the FRONT page. Synchrony should have to change their statements to do the same.
Navient is mismanging my loans and harrasing me everyday 24/7. they keep caling early in the morning and late at night. i told them do not be calling before XXXX or after XXXX. they told me they had the right to call, i kindly informed them that they didnt have the right to. then they called from a third party from rhode island, placing me on hold.

3.THERE ALSO WAS ANOTHER DING FOR XXXX XXXX SAME CAR DEALER AGAIN
Equifax mishandled my information which has led to a breach that puts myself and millions of others at potential risk. I am extremely disappointed with how Equifax has handled the reporting of this breach. Very little was done to notify the public for nearly a month after the breach was detected. I received no email, letter, or phone call and instead had to discover it via social media.
I have been in an ongoing dispute with Transunion, XXXX XXXX and now XXXX XXXX. the initial problem started when XXXX XXXX reported me as 30 days late, which I was not. Transunion lowered my score by 32 points. I contacted XXXX XXXX and was only referred to Transunion and to date I have nothing. Now XX/XX/2017 I have another battle with XXXX XXXX over a misapplied payment and Transunion lowered my score by 45 points. This is a scam and Transunion should not be allowed to get away with it. I simply do not understand how my score can be lowered by so much for a missed payment but when my payments are made on time I barely get 5 points. I need to see the scale that is being used becuase I feel scammed. I can never get anywhere with transunion. Their customer service is horrible.
