Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I received correspondence from XXXX  via email regarding a 2004 student loan in the amount of {$420.00} with instructions to reply to the email in order to prevent the loan from going into default status. I replied to the email each time it was sent but did not receive a response. It turns out that their instructions were incorrect and that no one at XXXX was monitoring that mailbox. 

The loan was subsequently placed into default and I was instructed to make 9 consecutive payments in a 10 month period so that the loan would be returned to " good standing. '' I made the required loan rehab payments and then proceeded to pay off the loan balance. XXXX then informed me that the loan would remain in default status because I had not submitted paperwork regarding the loan rehab. 

A loan rep had sent me invalid links to sign documents electronically. I requested proper links for documents several times but received no response. 

My credit report still reflects a defaulted loan and XXXX either does not reply to my requests for correction or replies with a form letter that is unrelated to my request This has caused me irreparable financial harm.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: All State Credit Bureau, Inc. (MI)

I began to work on my credit in XXXX and noticed that Allstate Credit Bureau was reporting an account from a previous lease at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Michigan. I moved out and after a shooting occurred that caused damage to my apartment. I requested that the repairs to the property be made directly after this incident. It took the property management nearly XXXX months after the incident to make repairs. This did not happen until nearly XXXX of XXXX. At that time due to personal safety, health, and mental health concerns, I left the property and gave notification in XXXX. I allowed an appropriate time for resolution and repairs. Because the property management failed to provide a " safe '' and " inhabitable '' living space, I gave written notice of my wish to terminate my lease. It was only AFTER I submitted this written request that repairs were performed 3 days later. 

Their failure to make the space " safe '' after a shooting, as well as " inhabitable '' after the shooting in a timely manner is a CLEAR violation of the Michigan XXXX and XXXX Rights. Because of this violation, I demand that my previous lease be broken without any financial and/or credit worthiness penalty to me. And removed from ALL CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent several letters disputing items on my Experian Credit report to include late payments, medical debt collections, and HIPPA violations. Experian is supposed to provide detailed information on how they investigate and validate these claims and I was supposed to get a response in the mall within 30 days including an updated copy of my credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from Experian that everything I disputed was verified. Yet I received no information on how they achieved that verification. No information of any kind to substantiate their claims of verification was included. I do believe this is their normal response anytime anyone tries to dispute something on a credit report in hopes that people will simply give up. I tried twice, once on their actual website, and then again by mailing certified letters. I am attaching copies of the letters that I sent to Experian. I am also attaching the receipt from the certified mailing notice.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (KY)

XXXX XXXX Bank initially lost and never processed a completed loan modification of mine from XX/XX/XXXX and and incorrectly applied payments and escrow due to this major error. They never corrected and transferred the erroneous information to XXXX. I have filed complaints with XXXX and XXXX XXXX Bank and no actions have ever been taken to correct, so I am guessing my issues are not a priority for your office. Freedom Mortgage just took over my mortgage effective XX/XX/XXXX and they have advised I have a shortage of {$870.00} in my escrow. I submitted Notice Of Error that was received by Freedom Mortgage XX/XX/XXXX including copies of my bank statements confirming all my payments made back to last year. I have not missed a payment and the escrow analysis was incorrect. They just responded with a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, advising I am in a shortage of {$870.00} and included XXXX pages of unintelligible payment postings from XXXX that do not make sense. It looks like XXXX raised my principal from around XXXX from the last year with XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX when they transferred to Freedom Mortgage XX/XX/XXXX. Please explain how this can happen when my bill is paid every month?. I am asking for help. Once again. My mortgage has not been correct for XXXX years and I have been begging your office for help.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened to sue you for very old debt
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (TN)

On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX. I received a phone call from Midland Credit regarding an old debt from XXXX. I explained to the representative that I had recently lost my job due to the impact of COVID-19 and was unable to pay anything today, but would like a letter sent to my mailing address and I can look into the debt at that time. The representative became aggravated that I was unable to complete any sort of arrangement or payment today and began threatening me that they will take me to court and I could have my property seized, my checks garnished, and my bank account taken if I did not set something up. I actually believe that this debt may be beyond the statue of limitations, or very close to it since it was from so long ago. I asked the representative to give me the last day that I  made a payment and he stated XXXX, but I dont remember making any sort of payment at that time. I asked to speak with a manager, he stated that his manager was on another call and unable to speak with me. He continued asking what he said that made me upset, and I repeatedly told him that I no longer want to speak with him and would like to speak with a manager instead. After telling me that any manager was not available, he declined to have a manager give me a call back and proceeded to tell me that he is putting in a recommendation to have me taken me court for not making any sort of payment or arrangement with him and ended the phone call.
