Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (SC)

Experian refuses to remove reinserted fraudulent information reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX and instead updated comments not authorized by me. Experian also increased and changed the amount of the item by one dollar to reinsert this back on my file and failed to confirm how they came to the conclusion that the information was accurate. This debt is not mine and I have provided relevant and factual information to both XXXX XXXX, FTC, CFPB, and Experian. I am demanding the permanent deletion of this reinserted, fraudulent reporting and the restoration of my excellent payment history. 

Please also note that I am a resident of South Carolina and this is also a violation of the law in the State of South Carolina - South Carolina law ( S.C. Code 15-3-530 ), the statute of limitations for most types of consumer and business debt is three ( 3 ) years.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA (NY)

I am in the process of buying a home. They require student loan statements to show my monthly payment, but because of COVID forbearance I do not have a monthly payment or statements since XX/XX/XXXX, and the bank wanted something current. On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted an IDR  request for the primary purpose of receiving a letter from FedLoans telling me what my monthly payment would be on XX/XX/XXXX. I also assumed, reasonably I believe, that I needed to recertify before payments began again. I was trying to do my due diligence and get the paperwork my bank required. 

A week later on XX/XX/XXXX I called Fedloans and explained I needed documentation urgently. On XX/XX/XXXX they sent me a letter explaining that my monthly payment was and would remain at {$400.00} through XX/XX/XXXX, and I provided this documentation to my bank- it is upon this information that they approved my mortgage application. It was not clear from this letter whether or not Fedloans was still processing the IDR request, and so on XXXX I called and asked to cancel that request. I explained to the call rep that I did not know until receiving the XX/XX/XXXX letter that I was not required to recertify until XX/XX/XXXX. The representative told me it's true that I was not required to recertify and that fedloans would be in touch with me about my cancelation request. 

Not only did I not hear from them about the cancelation request, but on XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notification that the IDR request was approved and that my monthly payment would be increasing by {$160.00}. This is the opposite of what fedloans told me via mail on XX/XX/XXXX, and on the phone on XXXX, and differs significantly from what I told the bank. There are borrowers out there like me whose monthly payments will not change until next summer because they understood they did not have to recertify in the normal course of things- why should I have to pay more while those borrowers continue to pay based on what their payment was pre-forbearance? Why should I have to pay more when fedloans represented to me even after the recertification request was made that my monthly payment would remain at XXXX XXXXXXXX/month until next XXXX? Why should I have to pay more when I did not understand I was not required to recertify until XXXX of XXXX? Why didn't fedloans process or respond at all to my cancelation request? I need fedloans to revert my monthly payment back to what it was pre-pandemic.

Regarding account Acct starting with XXXX I sent a letter via certified mail delivered on XX/XX/21 to NCA regarding a collection being reported on my credit report asking for validation of purported debt, to include pertinent information that is required to be furnished by law : Copy of original contract Name and address of original creditor Name and address of alleged debtor Amount owed Full account number Date account opened Date of last payment Date of first delinquency Complete account activity Proof that this debt was assigned or sold to the company, and that they have the legal authority to collect the debt I did not receive a response. 

It has now been well over 150 days since I initiated contact with NCA, and they have still not responded to my validation letter. I have the certified mail receipt to prove that it was received. This company is refusing or neglecting to address my inquiries in a timely matter as required by law. I know that this account can not possibly be verified as belonging to me if an actual investigation in to my inquiry is done. I kindly ask that this account be deleted from my credit report at all credit reporting bureaus, and all contact and collection attempts cease. Upon a response to this complaint, if this is not resolved as per the law requirements, my next contact will be the FTC, the attorney general, social media, and the media.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Company: Populus Financial Group, Inc. (F/K/A Ace Cash Express) (IN)

I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX in the mail stating that it is the second notice of a " severe delinquency '' over a payday loan with Ace Cash Express. 
1. I have never heard of ace cash express 2. I never received a first notice 3. The amount of the " pay day loan '' they claim I took is more than pay day loans can legally give you in my state. 
This company claims I took this loan out while I was working for an employer I haven't worked for in almost 20 years. They also state that it was " malicious intent to commit fraud '' on my part by closing my bank account right after taking this payday loan. I have only ever closed one bank account in my life. I was not working for and had not been working for the XXXX XXXX for several years at the time that account was closed. 
They are threatening me with wage garnishment, personal property or bank account lein, negative credit reporting, back interest, legal fees, court costs, and full principle of the loan. If I do not mail in the full amount a subpoena to XXXX County Municipal Court will be issued for me and 2 witnesses to go to trial.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: WAKEFIELD & ASSOCIATES, INC. (NC)

This is a follow-up to complaint already issued - XXXX. Was not sure how to update on original complaint. 

Wakefield sent a letter simply stating the debt was owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They did not provide any detail of the debt - services rendered- or any explanation. 

XXXX  account does not show any debt owed. 

On XX/XX/22 at XXXX XXXX. called XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  and after conversation was told that " it appears to be an issue with the currenty payment plan. They have had some other issues with bills on the payment plan dropping out of the system and automatically going to collections. '' This is an abuse of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am on a payment plan and because their system messed up - my debt ( which was on a payment plan ) automatically goes to collections. They said this has happened on several accounts for different people. 

XXXX should be sanctioned for their poor accounting and for sending debt to a collector that is not a debt. 

How am I as a consumer protected from this? CFPB has the responsibility to protect us - what will you do about this? I had to take my time to go to post office and send registered mail to Wakefield to get explanation of the debt - WHICH THEY DID NOT PROVIDE - and go through the time and energy to refute a debt that was NOT A DEBT for collection agency. 

Thank you for taking the steps to ensure XXXX does not abuse their power and hurt the citizens you are supposed to protect.
