Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Payday loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: Rosebud Economic Development Corporation (MD)

I took the loan out with this company in the summer, month not recalled. I was planning on paying it back within a couple weeks, but ran into hardships. I also started a new job in which my pay day was opposite week than the withdrawal. I contacted the company several times in order to change pay days and also try and work out a settlement. Loan was {$1000.00} and already paid almost {$4000.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted them and asked them if they could provide a fair payoff quote and described the situation. The lady sent it up the chain. I received and email saying I could pay {$500.00}, not until XX/XX/XXXX. I asked if we could do {$300.00}. No response. The next day they emailed again XX/XX/XXXX saying now the balance is over {$1000.00} and payoff was only good until XX/XX/XXXX. But they didnt even contact me until XX/XX/XXXX, 10 days after the payoff quote. What? I have already paid a ton of interest on this and this predatory lender should be more reasonable than this. I want this balance completely wiped out at this point. 

Also they have XXXX  people working for them who dont understand a word of XXXX and almost impossible to get XXXX speaking person on phone.

Company: Nelnet, Inc. (NC)

Around XX/XX/2022, I discovered that Nelnet is continuing to report me for owing them for XXXX of XXXX student loans I had with them. Both of the loans I had with Nelnet transferred to XXXX in XXXX of 2022 and then to XXXX on XX/XX/2022 as a part of my Public Service Loan Forgiveness process. What alerted me to the inaccuracies on my XXXX and XXXX credit reports is the increase in the amount I owe for student loans. The amount increased from {$160000.00} to {$220000.00}. Nelnet is still reporting me as owing them {$59000.00}. This is not accurate. I no longer owe them anything. I disputed the inaccuracy with all XXXX credit reporting agencies. XXXX completed their " investigation '' in less than XXXX weeks and stated my loan with Nelnet was accurate. I then contacted Nelnet and explained what I was seeing on my dispute report. The Nelnet representative stated she didn't know why because " they '' haven't reported anything on my credit report since XXXX, 2022. I told her that I could see on the report from XXXX that Nelnet DID report that I owed them {$59000.00} in XX/XX/2022 and again in XX/XX/2022. I then told representative that I needed something in writing to show that I have a XXXX balance with Nelnet. The representative told me she could not send me anything like that through email. I then informed her that Nelnet did send me a transcript of what I paid them throughout the years through email without any issues. I then asked her if I should contact the XXXX XXXX XXXX and within a few minutes, I received XXXX separate emails from Nelnet stating I paid off my XXXX loans with them. I then did another dispute with XXXX and uploaded the emails from Nelnet. I then contacted XXXX and XXXX and there have still been no changes. This has caused my credit score to drop XXXX points. The credit reporting agencies are not doing their due diligence to help me ( as a consumer ) with this Nelnet inaccuracy. I have also reported this to my state 's Consumer Protection Division.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (MI)

I'm trying to buy a house. I'm supposed to be out of my current XXXX Within 2 months. My mortgage broker called and told me that all of my navient accounts were reporting me as 90 days late, for several months, and consecutive months, over a year. I had contacted navient, several times for more than 2 years, trying to get my loans out of deferment, and set up monthly payments of {$50.00}. I would say to each person that times are hard during Covid, and that was all I could afford. Each person that I talked to would " counter offer '' me. Things like, " looks like we could set that up for {$75.00} per month, could you manage that? '' Or, " we can get a payment plan set up, but we are going to need it to be at least {$100.00} per month, any way that you could do that? '' Things like that every time. I would ask to speak to someone else. More times than not, the person on the phone was speaking " broken to very broken '' English. Having a language barrier during these conversations did not help matters. I was told that i need to go to their website and/or download their app. I would explain that I don't have a computer, I check my e-mails about once per month and mass erase XXXX XXXX at a time, I'm not a technical person, at all, and my phone is used for calls and texts. I just wanted to talk to a person to get this set up. I find it very hard to believe that there isn't anyone on staff, that I can give information to, and ask any questions that I may have of them regarding loans. I actually asked at least one of them, " why would you turn someone away that is trying to give you money every month? '' The last conversation was some time last year. Then I started hearing that all student loans were being " frozen, '' where payments and accruing interest were being paused. I was keeping up with all of the date extension, so that when it was over, I could try again. Mostly hoping that they would be happy to take my {$50.00} per month, since they hadn't been getting any money form anybody. I find out this morning from my mortgage broker that my credit score was horrible, and the only reason is navient. They reported to the credit agencies 90 days late payments for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. If student loans are " frozen, '' then they should not be reporting any negative payment activity, definitely 90 late payment reporting and destroying peoples credit, goals and life.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Exeter Finance, LLC. (FL)

On XX/XX/2023, I filed for a dispute on an auto loan account I have on my credit report. As of that same day, XX/XX/2023, that account was paid in full and I provided receipts showing that the account was paid in full. XXXX, the company investigating my dispute, finalizes my dispute today XX/XX/2023 and states that they updated the information but upon checking my report, they said for the month of XXXX, the account shows as charged off. Normally a final decision from the company that I have a credit line with does not finalize any decisions until the end of the month but they decided to say that its still delinquent and charged off when I paid the amount in full. I have proof of the receipts, confirmation codes, as well as bank account withdrawals from Exeter Finance that shows they took money out in a total amount of {$8100.00}. Specific days go as follows : - Friday, XX/XX/2023, a {$3000.00} payment was made to Exeter Finance as well as a {$2900.00} payment. In total, a {$5900.00} payment was made to Exeter Finance on XX/XX/2023. 

- Monday, XX/XX/2023, a payment of {$2200.00} was made to Exeter Finance. 

In total, with all payments made, it should add up to {$8100.00} which is the total amount Exeter Finance states I owed so as of XX/XX/2023, the account was paid in full and there should be no balance. 

I was also told that I should receive my title for the vehicle within 30-45 days which further states that the payments that were sent were finalized, accepted, and processed in their system to move on with the title process. 

XXXX reporting inaccurate information on my account and stating that the account is not paid in full when I provided them accurate information which comes straight from the Loan company in which I had a credit line with is most definitely an offense in regards to my consumer rights. 

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681A Sub Section 2 ( Exclusions ), the term consumer report DOES NOT include ANY REPORT containing information solely as to TRANSACTIONS or EXPERIENCES between the CONSUMER and the PERSON MAKING THE REPORT.

Meaning, a transaction or experience with Exeter Finance such as a " Late Payment '' that could cause the account to become closed or charged off. That is considered an experience that Exeter Finance had with myself which is against my consumer rights for this information to be reported.

Nothing under the Fair Credit Reporting Act requires ANY financial institution to furnish negative information to a consumer reporting agency. 

The damages this has caused has made other financial institutions such as XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, etc., deny me of credit because XXXX continues to report false information on my account which in term has decreased my credit even further.
