Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Convergent Resources, Inc. (MN)

I was contacted regarding this debt in XXXX of XXXX, the debt collector spoke with my wife, however I was present. We were informed they received this account in XXXX of XXXX and that it had not been reported on my credit report as of yet. We explained this was incurred due to XXXX our new phone company not paying off our account as we were told they would. It was still suggested we pay on the debt in the meantime to avoid it affecting my credit. We were told since we were making arrangements early on it would keep this off of my credit report. We scheduled the first payment for the end of XXXX XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX as it was stated something would be needed in the month of XXXX to secure the agreement. The first XXXX payment was for XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for {$75.00} and has been paid every two weeks for {$75.00} by automatic withdrawal. So XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX all for {$75.00}. Now imagine my surprise when I pulled my credit report on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and not only seen this account on my report when I was told it would n't be, but also it is reporting late when I have made all scheduled payments as agreed! My wife called in my presence on or around XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and received very rude service. She spoke with two people who both stated that payments had been received and on time, but since they are collecting for XXXX and the XXXX account is not in good standing since it was sent to collections this is why the account has a negative standing. They stated they are reporting the payments, but have no idea how the credit bureau puts out info. My wife said the CB can only report what you tell them, but they insisted it was not their issue to correct and we should call the credit bureau. Of course I understand I am not in good standing with XXXX, but convergent should be reporting the on time payments to convergent that are being made. It is clear to anyone a collection account is a negative thing, but you dont get to report on time payments as late to punish a consumer. Included are bank statements for the dates listed above. Please note the payments listed under XXXX, which also has their phone number listed. Also I have attached email statement notices from Convergent. I can not go all the way back to XXXX as their links expire in 90 days. Also a copy of this item on my report.

Company: ACS Education Services (NC)

I have a XXXX XXXX loan with ACS Education. I have made all my payments online and on time, always on the 1st of the month, for almost 8 years now. This month, when attempting to pay my monthly bill, I have not been able to access my account. Each time I sign-in with what I have verified multiple times as the correct login information, I 'm told the service is temporarily unavailable. I have sent multiple emails to customer service both through the website and directly from my personal email account detailing the problem and attaching screenshots showing the issue. I have also attempted to contact customer service via phone, but the system will not let you talk to anyone until it recognizes your SSN and DOB. Despite repeatedly entering these accurately, the system claimed it did not recognize either so I 'm unable to reach anyone to resolve the issue. Further complicating this is that I do not have an account number to include on a check to mail to ensure my payment is processed correctly because ACS uses my SSN as an account number - and I think it is really dangerous to include this on a check.

I have received no response or from ACS, only acknowledgments that my email has been received and that I will receive a response in 48 hours. This has not happened, and I have been having the same problem for four days now, putting me in danger of submitting a late payment! This is clearly a way for ACS to force late fees or other issuers on its borrowers, with little or no borrower ability to contest! Please contact someone at ACS to make sure they know this is happening and ensure that borrowers are not being unfairly penalized for the servicer 's incompetence. A quick XXXX  search on the web will show you that ACS has in the past caused similar problems for other borrowers and this is really hurtful - particularly for those of us who do everything we can to make our payments responsibly. I thank you for your time and please feel free to contact me directly if you would like further details.

In XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased a car ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) with a trade-in of my XXXX XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, bills seemed to pill up, as I was not getting a raise for 3 years now, so I had to do what was best for me and my family. I explained to XXXX my difficulties. In XX/XX/XXXX I  explained to XXXX that I could make a payment on XX/XX/XXXX, they agreed to it, but after I made my payment, XXXX repossessed my vehicle on the XXXX. After a few months, XXXX contacted me with the balance due, which I thought was high. A month or two later, XXXX contacted me regarding the XXXX account, we made a settlement for {$8000.00}. I made a payment, then maybe 2-3 months later, XXXX and XXXX called, stating they had the XXXX account. I first took them to be scammers, based off what they were saying and their manner of speaking, but I found out they were working for XXXX. We made a settlement for {$6600.00}, I made bi-weekly payments in the amount of {$150.00}. I received a notice for court, but I did n't understand why, because I was already making payments. The notice stated that my case with XXXX had been dismissed and closed. This is when the payments stopped. I noticed XXXX on my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX. I have been contacting them since to have it removed. It shows XXXX balance due $ XXXX. Attached you will see all I have gone through in trying to pay off this debt and have it removed from my credit report, immediately.

XXXX and XXXX requested my paystubs and bank statements ( 2 of each ), my monthly budget, and a statement stating why I would like to settle ( {$2000.00} ). I did this twice this month, already. The first time for {$500.00} and the second time {$2000.00}, neither time has XXXX contacted me with an answer. I searched the Better Business Bureau and found similar issues with XXXX XXXX as well as XXXX and XXXX. I also searched your consumer search and found that XXXX was sued for discrimination against XXXX Americans, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX for overcharging on auto loans, as I believe I was in the beginning to have traded an SUV to get a XXXX XXXX.
