I contacted XXXX Servicing to help them track my Public Service Loan Forgiveness, and was informed was informed that I should transfer my government loans from XXXX to XXXX. The transfer was recorded on XX/XX/XXXX. I uploaded the previous document payments made to XXXX to submit them for counting towards my PSLF payments. Over the next several months I checked the website and made several calls to customer service in regards to that they were not tracking my PSLF nor taking off the 73 qualifying previous payments from XXXX. All the calls I made took over an hour with no changes in my account. The reps would tell me that I needed to wait another 30 or 60 days for them to review my files. Then I started documenting calls. 
XX/XX/XXXX Spoke with XXXX agent number XXXX and was told that I had to request for them to take off the " pay it ahead '' status. I did, and XXXX told me to call back. 
XX/XX/XXXX I called back and asked to speak with a borrower serving advocate and was connected to XXXX agent number XXXX at extension XXXX. She told me not to worry and that after reviewing my previous payments that I everything would be " fine '' and I should call her back in 45 days and my account would be updated to reflect all of my payments were eligible for PSLF. 
XX/XX/XXXX Called and spoke with XXXX again and she told me she did not know why my account and would call me back in 2 days XX/XX/XXXX called XXXX back as she did not return my call. Left her a voice mail XX/XX/XXXX XXXX left me a VM reporting that she was still working on the case and that she would call me in a few days. 
XX/XX/XXXX XXXX left me a voicemail ensuring me that she was making progress on my case and that she would call me on XX/XX/XXXX if not sooner.
Upon pulling my most recent credit report It came to my attention SW Credit Systems had reported a debt for collection on my report. Knowing the debt is n't mine I disputed with the creditor to have it removed or verified but did not receive any competent evidence bearing my signature, showing that I have ( or ever had ) some contractual obligation to pay them. As per FTC opinion letter from Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX, you should be aware that a printout of a bill or itemized document does not constitute verification.The letter sent was not only a formal dispute, but a request that they cease and desist any and all collection activities, including reporting of ; or verifying of the account on my credit reports. SW Credit Systems was and is non-compliant and in violation in these matters.
I disputed the following credit inquiries on my TransUnion credit report both online and over the phone. I was told these inquiries would not be removed by many rude representatives. I have a fraud alert on my credit report and these inquiries need to be deleted as none of them are mine.
I am requesting assistance in removing a negative tradeline from my three major credit bureau reports from Carmax Auto Finance. In XX/XX/XXXX I was a cosigner on a vehicle purchased by my then wife. We separated in XX/XX/XXXX and she was awarded the vehicle in the settlement. I retained no ownership and no longer had access to the vehicle or any accounts related to it. In XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to purchase my own vehicle only to be denied and to learn that the reason was because the Carmax loan had been paid 30-60 days late many times over the last few years and was currently 30 days late as well. Upon learning this, I contacted Carmax and discovered that I had never been removed from the account after the settlement awarding the vehicle to my wife. I requested to be removed, but they stated that they could n't do that while the account was still open. I immediately paid off the loan myself in order to resolve the issue. Once it was closed, I again requested to be removed, but was then told that it was not possible as the account was already closed. I then requested that the negative tradeline be removed from my reports as I was not the owner of vehicle, nor was I ever made aware that the payments were n't being made on time. Carmax stated that it is not their policy to remove items from credit reports. I have made this request several times, as recently as XX/XX/XXXX as the negative reporting continues to cripple my own credit even though I do not own the vehicle. I am submitting this complaint under the Fair Credit Reporting Act which requires that before any negative items are placed on a consumer credit report, the creditor must notify the consumer. I never received any phone calls or letters or any correspondence from CarMax regarding this account. I was never informed that it was late, nor that any negative items would be put on my report. Carmax states that they sent correspondence to the primary account owner as is their policy. I am not the primary account holder, so no correspondence was sent to me. All I am asking is for the tradeline to be removed from my credit reports. The FCRA does not require tradelines be reported so removal is certainly allowable and very common. The purpose of accurate credit reporting is so that a true representation of a consumor 's credit worthiness is available to potential creditors. This tradeline is not a fair representation of my creditworthiness as the account is not mine, and I was never made aware of issues or given an opportunity to prevent delinquency.
I talked with this company directly about 2-3years ago and paid this debt in full. I think that maybe they did n't report it. I have had problems with this company before. ... .didnt know i had an unpaid balance with them because it was a payroll deduction. ... either way I settled this debt!!!!
I have been enrolled in " income-based repayment '' since graduating from school and beginning repayment. When possible, I pay extra money after I submit my required monthly payment. I have spoken to people at Navient multiple times ( by calling their customer service department ) and was told different things by different people. In my opinion, I would have thought the EXTRA money should have been applied to the principal of my loan -- - however, I believe it never is. I make my payments online because the phone system is too cumbersome and time consuming to use on a monthly basis. 

My school is not listed below -- it is the XXXX at XXXX ( in XXXX, MA )
I recently took extensive efforts to clean up my credit report in the intent of needing to apply for a loan to build a home. I used my free annual credit check. I recently received free credit monitoring provide by the XXXX as my name was involved in the XXXX XXXX. I had a XXXX Credit Card issued by Citibank, Acct XXXX. My credit was sold and transferred to XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, several months ago. Both XXXX and XXXX both showed I had XXXX accounts open Citibank and XXXX. The transferred account was never closed or transfered. Although not of significant impact to my FICO, it was counter productive to all the work I just did to get my report correct. I did not participate in the negotiations involved in change banks to support my borrowing/credit needs however the consumer should not be impacted negatively when XXXX banks get together and your information/business is sold. The CFPB should actively monitor who should have done what to whom in this case so consumers are not negatively impacted by financial transactions when their information is sold and when the consumer is not personally involved in the transfer. Who is accountable to make sure all three reporting agencies are aware the credit was transferred??? It is too scary that this activity can occur without repercussions or analysis on the frequency of occurrence. All XXXX would say is that you have to fix this. They are " XXXX party '' in this transaction. Actually I am XXXX party in the deal to buy my credit! Why are financial institutions not accountable for not reporting the transaction??? This same thing just occurred when my mortgage was sold. This latency issue has significantly affected my credit score. It has been three months since the transfer of my mortgage and XXXX still shows I have XXXX mortgages on my home, XXXX with XXXX and another on with XXXX. Who should be accountable???
I filed a dispute with Experian successfully yesterday. It was a simple deletion of incorrect previous address. I was notified by email the dispute was resolved and verified it. However when I looked at my score it dropped by 8 points. I have lived at my current address for 10 years and my previous address for 5 years. Nothing on my credit report has changed. All my accounts are current and never a late payment. Nothing changed on XX/XX/XXXX from my previous score update, other than filing the dispute. The other 2 credit reporting bureaus have actually raised my score by 6 points each, in the last week, so the only possible reason for the score and credit worthiness drop was from filing the dispute. It was my understanding this should have no reflection on my score, yet an 8 point drop in one day is horrible and I want it corrected.
I had duly verified the checking account, weeks ahead in time, for full balance payment every month, despite which the bank went ahead and applied late fee + interest charges of {$32.00} on purchases. On calling, they acknowledged that there was a system error in not activating the balance payment and reversed the late payment but declined to take away interest charge on purchases. I am disappointed that despite going through steps of verifying the checking account, I get charged with interest charges when it was their system intrinsically not activating.
My complaint involves the business practices and Debt collection practices of Ally Financial. XX/XX/XXXX I was in a bad XXXX XXXX at work and was in the hospital with a XXXX XXXX and XXXX that required XXXX causing me to be out of work for a while. I notified Ally because I knew i was going to get behind on the {$970.00} that I paid on time for two years. So I called Ally Financial and spoke to a manager on a recored line and advised her of my situation and medical condition and I would be on XXXX for a while. The manager then told me yes you are a good customer and what would you like to do? I advised her that I did not know how I was going to pay the car not and would like to give it back, she was then like o.k. thats an option and we would take it back and you would have nothing due to us because we would sell it.I paid in excess of {$15000.00} dollars on a care that was worth only {$39000.00}. Now we we tricked into buying the car due to the XXXX that we purchased at XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Ga had about eight recalls and two of them were safety recalls, so with that being said they would not allow us to take our XXXX home and gave us trade options. So now that I no longer have the vehicle Ally Financial has taken the vehicle back voluntary, but before they had the car they called in excess of 6 to 8 times a week in a harassing nature. I had to send them letters and ask them to stop calling and they did not. After sending several letters and seeing this on my credit report as negative they continue to harass me by adding XXXX dollars to the balance that I do not owe because they sold the vehicle and want to still come after me although the aforementioned Agent told me they would not. I sent them letters and they ignored several times and the last one I sent on XX/XX/XXXX I received no response until XX/XX/XXXX which was past 30 days. Now they are saying they cant find the conversation or any letters I sent and I have all copies I find this as corporate bullying and misrepresentation.
I received a letter from XXXX XXXX which was an offer to settle my student debt. When I called the given number on the letter they proceeded to transfer my call and then giving me another phone number to call to settle my debt. I do have the letter they mailed to me and my page of notes, numbers and doodles, while trying to settle a debt in good faith. They cashed my check and then sent me a new notice with the balance being what they supposedly had written off to settle. Now they are harassing me again. At the same time as this I paid off my other student loan account as well as numerous other credit cards and doctor bills. I did this in good faith with the people my husband and I owed. I sold off heirlooms and sentimental objects to do this because I was facing XXXX and did not need or want the XXXX of what I owed hanging over me. Please make them stop. XXXX XXXX/Navient/XXXX XXXX and now /something totally new. I did what I could and I have nothing left. They offered a settlement, I took it, now they want more. Help me please. I have had my XXXX and they are bombarding me with this.
I was reviewing a copy of my credit report and discovered it contained some errors pertaining to the following Personal Information. I am requesting that you promptly update and delete addresses that I never resided and may possibly be relatives address. Please see the attached copy of my utility bill for your reference. For the record I have lived in the same residence for over 7 years. This has created several issues for me in the past. I am currently in the process of buying a home I will be in contract in 30 days. I have a unverified account XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had previously disputed this account. I have never done business XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX, XXXX  # XXXX Cease and Desist and I do not have any accounts with that company error please delete. See attachment below.
I noticed when I was checking my credit score through XXXX XXXX that someone opened up a Chase credit card account in my name. There's no balance yet. It look like it was open XX/XX/2018.
My home that I have owned for 14 years is currently on the foreclosure auction block with a sale date set for  XXXX   XXXX . I blame my current mortgage lend er Wells Fargo, fo r failing to work with me or negotiate to resolve the late payments. My financial situation has changed and improved and I believe that I could qualify for government or internal programs that are established to help struggling homeowners. The problem is th at Wells Fargo re fuses to open a new review or assign an account manager to my case. The agents  at Wells Fargo ar e telling me that since I received help through a modification 5 years ago that I can never have a second chance to get modified or a workout completed. I do n't believe that this is correct, and feel that they are pushing to foreclose on me while not providing all options.     This was originally a refinance loan done through  XXXX   XXXX  in  XXXX , and it was a subprime adjustable rate loan and I was not aware that the payment would continue to increase throughout the life of the loan ; this was never explained to me. I struggled during the recession financially and at the same time my adjustable rate was going up increasing my monthly payment, while my loan got sol d to Wachovia and then Wells Fargo. I a pplied for modification help and after several months of back and forth I was granted a loan modification in  XXXX , for which I was very thankful. I made the payments as agreed for several months, but at the time my sports apparel business was in major trouble due to large outstanding debts. I ended up having to file Chapter  XXXX  bankruptcy in order to stay afloat due to the bad business debt. During that time I had difficulty communicating wit h Wells Fargo re garding the payments and also had some major legal bills to settle and as a result ended up missing some payments on the loan modification.     I tried to resume making the monthly payments but was told  by Wells Fargo th at since I had missed some modification payments that they would not accept any more payments and that I would have to reinstate all past late fees. Since that time I have been trying to negotiate with  Wells Fargo.  I appreciate the fact that I was offered an option for assistance in  2012 but a t that time my entire business crumbled under the bad debt. I am in a much stronger financial position at this time and able to afford a fair and reasonable monthly payment. The issue I am having, and the reason for my complaint is tha t Wells Fargo is refusing to even consider my request for modification, forbearance agreement or restructured loan. I have not been assig ned a single point of contact, no one has reviewed my current financial situation to determine affordability and instead a sale date has been set for  XXXX   XXXX . I understand that I am delinquent on this loan but I am in a much stronger position now and able to resolve this issue i f Wells Fargo  would work with me. I am not pleased with the way th at Wells Fargo ha s handled this mortgage loan and feel that a fair negotiation based on my current financial situation needs to happen.
Several years ago, I went to purchase a car. When the finance department tried to pull my credit from Equifax , they told me that I " had no credit. '' Upon further investigation, Equifax discovered that the last number of my Social Security ( SSN ) number was off by one digit. I sent the requested information to Equifax to have my SSN corrected and thought the problem had been resolved. I went to purchase another car recently and encountered the exact same issue with Equifax. I researched and found out that although my SSN had been corrected, my birth date was incorrect. Using the information I had sent them previously, they were able to confirm and update my birthdate. At this point, all my information should be correct. The problem is that Equifax informed me that they will not add any past credit information onto my file even though I 've had credit and a score for several years based upon XXXX and XXXX XXXX credit reports. I asked to speak to a supervisor who also informed me that there was nothing they could do to add my past credit history and that I would technically " have to start over '' with Equifax ( even though it was not my error ). I attempted to obtain the name of the supervisor I spoke with ; however, they were unable to provide me with that information. I also went to see a financial counselor at my base and she was not able to retrieve my Equifax report either.
I have been making over payments for many months. I receive conflicting information about how these payments will be handled. At this time, a very small amount is being directed towards principal, in spite of my large over payment. I was told the system was n't recognizing the over payment because I was paying split payments every two weeks. Additionally, in XXXX my account was placed on forbearance without my knowledge or consent. When I requested the forbearance be removed, I was told it would be, but it never happened. I was told my payment would be auto-debited but it never happened. I called again and was told my payment was processing, but one week later, no payment was ever taken, and when I called, I was told it was because of my forbearance ( that should have been removed 4 weeks prior ). When I called again, I was told not to worry because it was a " courtesy forbearance '' and no capitalized interest would accumulate. Nevertheless, the life of my loan has now increased without my consent. Additionally, now I will continue to be " making up '' interest payments instead of paying principal, even though I have been consistently making overpayments. I do not trust this company. I feel my loan has been handled in an unethical manner and that I am being taken advantage of on a routine basis. Additionally, customer service representatives seem, for the most part, to be completely unknowledgeable about what is happening to my account, or they outright lie, I can not be sure which is correct.
TransUnion is reporting a tax lien on my credit report in the amount of {$1000.00} that was discharged in bankruptcy. I contacted the courts and they are not showing a balance owed, but TransUnion continues to report that I owe {$1000.00}. My bankruptcy was discharged in XX/XX/XXXX2017 and all other accounts have been updated, but this account is severely damaging my credit score. XXXX and XXXX are not reporting this account, only TransUnion
I had a debt collector contact my mother saying that I had an account in collections. When I contacted them, they stated it was for a XXXX account out of Idaho. I have never lived outside of the state of South Dakota, and have had the same XXXX account from approx XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. I told them that I was a victim of identity theft and that I would be filing a police report. This debt had since been reported to credit bureaus.
This compliant is in reference to a fraud alert listed to my report. I am having difficulty to having it removed. It is causing financial distress and I am not able to get approved for credit with creditors. I would like any and all fraud alerts removed from my report. 

Thanks, XXXX XXXX
The below information was also sent directly to American Express on XX/XX/XXXX. I have yet to receive a response from them. When I called a few weeks ago to check in, the agent said my paperwork was " lost '' but that they found my fax and were working on it. I have been very patient but felt it was now necessary to report this through the CFPB. 

-- -- -- -- -- On Monday, XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed about an offer to add authorized users to my Platinum card. I was informed by several agents both with Platinum Customer Service and New Accounts that adding authorized users would not result in a hard inquiry for myself or the authorized users. Therefore, I went ahead and added an authorized user to my account. 

Later in the week of XX/XX/XXXX, I was notified that I had received a hard credit inquiry on my XXXX account. I am not ware if the inquiry posted to other bureaus, but I have attached selected pages from my XXXX account as proof of the hard credit inquiry on XX/XX/XXXX. 

After learning about the hard inquiry, I contacted American Express on XX/XX/XXXX to understand the situation. Several agents again said they had never heard of hard inquiries resulting from adding authorized users. 

I am requesting that this hard inquiry be removed from my XXXX account as well as from the other two bureaus, if applicable. I was directly informed by multiple agents on recorded calls that adding authorized users would not result in a hard credit for either myself or my authorized users.
I feel that they should lower the rate to at least the current market rate at this time. Also take my home from under water and put me in a more affordable loan that I can pay monthly an not struggle to pay I have had to file an BK due to not being offered an decision for modification.
I would like to file a dispute with Wells Fargo Auto Finance. Wells Fargo is negatively reporting a debt owned on credit reports that has already been satisfied from a insurance settlement. The debt is invalid which is evidenced by them releasing the lien of my vehicle and giving me the title. I currently live in Illinois which is a title holding state and a title is not released until loan is satisfied. I have reached to all three credit company 's to dispute this issue but was not able to get it resolved because Wells Fargo is stating that the debt is valid.
XXXX is listed on each of my reports as a collection/chargeoff. I immediately disputed thisinformation with XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion and the results of the investigation came back as " verified ''. I did not have an account with XXXX XXXX during this time period. XXXX XXXX did not respond to demand letter FCRA 623 ( b ) for violations of the FCRA and did not remove the adverse account from my report.
I have contacted EXPERIAN 6 times trying to resolve the issues with accounts that do NOT belong to me and do NOT have my signature. Under the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT, they did NOT use reasonable procedures to TOTALLY verify the information they are receiving from their clients who FURNISH the information! They are REPORTING INFORMATION THAT does NOT belong to me and REPORTING INACCURATE information. Under Section 609 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, they could be liable for reporting information that they are NOT even suppose to report
