On XX/XX/XXXX, I was mailed an " IMPORTANT NOTICE '' ( all caps ) from PennyMac, my existing mortgate company. PennyMac 's letter indicated that they were " pleased to let [ me ] know about an important opportunity '' and that I could " refinance [ my ] VA loan into a new, lower rate through the VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan program. '' As my existing lender, they provided information on my loan number, my current monthly payment amount, what my new monthly payment amount could be as well as my monthly and annual savings. 

They also wrote that I didn't have to transfer and I could stay with PennyMac. 

They encouraged me to either call a number or visit a website to complete an application " NOW '' ( all caps ). I did that and submitted the application online to refinance my loan to lower my interest rate. 

PennyMac pulled a hard inquiry on my credit. They called me only to inform me that I was not eligible, not because I wasn't financially eligible, but because I had only had a loan since XXXX and needed a total of 210 days and wasn't eligible until XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NY)

On XX/XX/XXXX the IRS deposited the first Stimulus Check of {$3900.00} into an account at Suntrust Bank under my name and my husbands name. We do not have an account at Suntrust Bank. On XX/XX/XXXX I conducted a search on the IRS website to see where my payment was as people around me had received their payments already. The website said it was direct deposited in an account ending in XXXX. So then I contacted the IRS to inform them that I dont have a bank account that ends in XXXX. They informed me they initiated a trace on the funds. I proceeded to call the IRS back every 30 days for an update on the trace. I was constantly told they were waiting for a response from the bank. On XXXX XXXX we received a letter from the IRS documenting that the payment was indeed deposited at an account at Suntrust. I proceeded to call Suntrust at that time. I spoke to customer service and gave them my name, my husbands name, and our social security numbers and asked them to search their system for any accounts for either one of us. They came up with nothing. After going back to the IRS again I was assigned a tax advocate from the IRS to try and help me with my case. She worked on our case from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX she told me that she never heard back from Suntrust Bank after several attempts to rectify the situation, and it would now be my problem known as a civil case to deal with Suntrust Bank myself. The Tax advocate was however able to provide me with the routing number and bank account number that the funds were deposited in. I proceeded to contact Suntrust Bank on XXXX XXXX and I explained the situation, and provided the bank account information I had. The representative at Suntrust Bank was able to pull up the account but since my name, or my husbands name was not on the account they would not be able to provide me with any information regarding the account or whether the money was still there. He then proceeded to tell me that I need to contact the IRS as they would need to contact the bank to make the request. We are completely frustrated at this point as we are a year out from when this problem first started and have not made any headway. Both my husband and I really need your help with this.

Please strike and remove this account from all 3 credit bureau 's until adequate validation has been received proving that the account belongs to me and all information is correct.

I am writing to formally complain about the ongoing issue of unresolved fraudulent items on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to remove these fraudulent items, they persist on my credit report, causing me significant financial harm and emotional distress. 

I would like to provide a summary of my efforts to address this matter : I first became aware of the fraudulent items on my credit report. Immediately, I reported the fraudulent activity to your credit reporting agency and initiated disputes for each of the fraudulent accounts. 

Subsequently, I have made numerous attempts to dispute these fraudulent items by providing all necessary documentation and evidence to support my claims. I have also been in continuous communication with the creditors associated with these fraudulent accounts to rectify the issue. 

Regrettably, despite my unwavering commitment to resolving this matter, the fraudulent items continue to appear on my credit report, and they have not been removed, updated, or properly investigated by your agency or the creditors involved. 

These unresolved issues on my credit report have caused me significant financial hardship and emotional distress. I have followed the proper dispute procedures and expected a timely and accurate resolution of my credit history. 

I kindly request that you take immediate action to thoroughly investigate and remove these fraudulent items from my credit report. Additionally, I ask for a written response outlining the steps your organization will take to rectify this matter and prevent future occurrences of fraudulent items on credit reports. 

I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other applicable laws, and I will not hesitate to take legal action to protect my rights and interests if this issue remains unresolved. I am asking for your assistance to remove the following fraud items : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$540.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$510.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$540.00} XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$540.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Nelnet, Inc. (NE)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for a new income driven repayment plan after receiving multiple emails encouraging me to apply. The new plan promised to freeze the accrual of interest while my student loans were in deferment due to a Borrower Defense Application I submitted in XXXX, XXXX. I received an e-mail on XX/XX/XXXX stating that I should expect to hear from my Servicer ( Nelnet ) within XXXX weeks. To date, I have not received any communications from Nelnet regarding the status of my application other than an e-mail from XX/XX/XXXX advising if we havent finished processing you application in 10 days, we will follow up with and email. Every day this application is not approved, the interest on my student loans increases substantially. From the the time I submitted my application over {$2000.00} has accrued on my loan. 

On my online account, Nelnet claims to have received my application on XX/XX/XXXX, despite my earlier submission of XX/XX/XXXX ( accompanied by an email confirmation ). Nelnets promised timelines on their website and in their e-mails do not represent reality. Nelnet benefits by delaying my application approval given that they are receiving the interest accrual. 

Nelnet seriously misrepresents pertinent information to borrowers and gets away with it, costing us thousands. Any attempt to reach them by phone takes hours. Throughout the summer and fall of XXXX, have have attempted to contact them numerous times. Most of my attempts include 1-2 hours on hold.
