Company: Fay Servicing, LLC (GA)

Fay servicing respond to the complaint, and only resolved 1/2 of  the problem. BOTH late notes should have been deleted ( not just the one that they deleted ) ... the late reports, and fees were all part of the same issue ( hacked checking account and documents sent to Fay on XXXX occasions ). This ongoing issue with Fay is  hurting our credit score and the ability to get a mortgage. Below is the email that I sent to Fay on XXXX occasions, going back to XX/XX/XXXX. Hello XXXX, Once again thank you for sending the summary / account activity report on our account. Please note the following as to our account. We have been and continue to make XXXX payments per month. Each payment is for {$1200.00}. We have been making these XXXX payments per month for over XXXX  years. Per your predecessor, XXXX XXXX XXXX, your company did not process the XXXX payments in a timely manner as they did not know how to handle these types of payments, ( even thought I noted on EVERY payment the amount to principal and to the payment ). Hence these payments were shown as partial at times and at times caused the account to show as late. Because of this improper handling of our payments, late fees and notes were added to our account. The returned checks / fees were due to my checking account being hacked and our account frozen until the fraud was being corrected. Again this information was communicated to XXXX during several phone calls. In closing the following corrections should happen to our account. 1. All late fess should be waived. I am ok with the late fees being credited to our account as additional principal payments. 2. Our account should not show ANY late payments. Thank you in advance for correcting these errors on our account. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Best regards, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX HELP!!!!! 


Above is the information from my past complaint ... XXXXThis is STILL NOT FIXED ... there should be zero late payments showing ... .This is crazy as they ( Fay ) have not fixed all of the issues. ....

Fast forward to XXXX checked my credit report XXXX Experian showed that all three credit cards where added to chapter XXXX bankruptcy I then called experian to see how that was possible since I did not add them on list of creditors for bankruptcy. Agent then told me that sometimes when someone applies for anything before discharge date that what ever accounts are open at time will be added to bankruptcy and the creditors are the ones who contact credit bureaus with information and that I should contact credit companies. Since XXXX XXXX was the creditor still emailing me stating that I owed them I contacted them just for them to tell me the exact same thing Experian told me. So I stopped paying on the credit card. Now here we are months later of going back and fourth with this particular situation all 3 credit cards have been added back to equifax and XXXX report and has my score droped because of higher utilization rates, late fees and now I have extra credit cards that I do n't not need because I opened 4 other cards to restablish credit now there is a total of 7 cards that I can not pay for.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

On last month I filed a dispute with Experian about an account resulting from identity theft and they said that it came back verified. On XXXX XXXX2018 I sent another request along with my Federal Trade Commission Identity Theft Report, they already have copies of my police report. Along with the FCRA section 605B which as a credit reporting agency I am sure they should be familiar with. Section 605 B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act requires them to block any information resulting from identity theft in four business days. This is the fourth business day. This is not a dispute so it should not take 30 days. I still have not heard anything back from the company and it is still showing up on my Experian account. I need this inaccurate information blocked as it is required by law.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA (CA)

I have a Student Loan in place and at the time I left XXXX XXXX University, I received a notification from FedLoan servicng, that I needed to start paying my student loan back. This notification came to my permanent home address at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA. XXXX, which FedLOan serving had on file approximately 90-120 days after leaving school. 

This was the first notification I received from FedLoan that my account was now due and I needed to set up payment. I immediately responded and made payment arrangements. 
I noticed that they had reported to the Credit Agencies that I was 90 days late. When I called FedLoan Servicing to inquire about the 90 days late, and I had just received my payment notification by mail, they told me that the initial notice of payment went to my XXXX XXXX  University student email, even though they had my permanent mailing address. I of course no longer had access to my student email as I was out of school and so did not receive a notice to begin paying loan. 
I told them for something this important, the first payment due notice should have been mailed to my home address, just as the 90 day notice was. Fedloan acknowledged that they did not send me a bill to my home address. I asked that becasue I never received a bill, I should not have been reported to the credit bureau as delinquent and asked that they remove or correct this with the credit agencies. They told me they do n't do that and I should have known it was due. 
I sent a letter with the same request and also contacted and challenged all 3 credit agencies that I never received an initial bill until 90 days past due. They sent letters to Fedloan but I am sure Fedloan responded that they emailed me. Therefore the 90 day delinquent is on my credit reports and damaging my credit and costing me money in higher interest rates. 
Summary : Since I did not receive an initial bill in the mail, which Fedloan had and chose not to use, I need the 90 day delinquency on all 3 loans taken off my 3 credit reports. It shows as three loans as disbursement was by semester, when it is actually one student loan. I have in fact, already paid about {$7000.00} back already and will pay the loan off. It is not reasonable or right to consider the loan 90 days old when initial repayment due was not sent to me.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MD)

I disputed my credit report with Equifax and they told me I could n't email the dispute because of the problems they recently had but I could fax it or mail it so after receiving their fax number I faxed it ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) I got confirmation that the fax went through so I called them two days later and was told they had n't gotten the fax but give it more time. I then called a week later and was told the same thing. At this point I 'm totally upset because I never got I acknowledgement of my dispute, all of my personal information went somewhere else and my credit score with them has just dropped after I sent them proof ( acknowlegement from the company ) that my collection was paid. I also sent them a dispute with XXXX XXXX with all of my bank statements, personal information, Social Security number etc ... .. 

I also received note that a address was added to my credit report. Please help!!! 

If not acknowledged that they received it after I got confirmation I 'd have to file a law suit against them.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

In a good faith effort to resolve this matter amicably, I restate my demand that you delete the following hard inquiries : I have a fraud alert on my account and didnt authorize these.

In any event, I request you delete these inquiries in to ensure that my credit report is accurate and correctly and fairly reflects my creditworthiness. As I am sure you are aware, the FCRA provides a cause of action for an individual consumer as well as penalties and liabilities for both consumer reporting agencies and furnishers of information for non-compliance of violations of its provisions.

In any case, in light of the above, your continued unwillingness to abide by the FCRA can no longer be tolerated and any further willful noncompliance, and failure to promptly resolve this situation will leave me no choice but to commence legal proceedings against you for your unjustified actions. 
Lastly, pursuant to Sections 1681i, subdivisions ( a ) ( 6 ) ( A ) & ( B ), demand is hereby made that you provide me a copy of my report, reflecting the results of your re-investigation " not later than 5 business days after the completion of the re-investigation.

Be advised that the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information is also hereby requested, to be provided within fifteen ( 15 ) days of the completion of your re-investigation.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (CA)

My last payment on an old credit card issued by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX now XXXX XXXX and now sold as debt to Portfolio Recovery, was in XX/XX/XXXX making this debt passed the 6 year statute of limitations for debt collection in the state of Oregon where the credit card agreement/contract was signed. However XXXX, XXXX claims my last payment of {$1900.00} was made on XX/XX/XXXX, more than 3+ years passed my real last payment. Even more confusing, the debt collection account at Portfolio Recovery was started on XX/XX/XXXX, according to XXXX and XXXX. This doe n't make any sense. I have my bank statement from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX and it shows no payments or deductions for anything near that amount or any cash taken out that would cover a payment like that. I did not make this payment. I believe it to be a shadow payment put on the books by XXXX XXXX to illegally extend the time limitations for almost 4 extra years. I called XXXX XXXX recovery department 4 times, they have my account information. They REFUSED to provide me with any details of my payment history to prove that the {$1900.00} payment was a sham. They went as far as telling me that they where in no way obligated to provide me any information on my account about payments because I was no longer a customer and because the debt was sold. Now Portfolio Recovery is now both buyer and assignee, which is also illegal. This debt is way passed the real statute of limitations time limit and the collection company refuses to remove it from my credit and the bank refuses to give any payment information to validate the debt, which is also illegal.

Well, my accounts had been deferred pretty much since I XXXX, now its showing that I mysteriously had a late payment on XX/XX/XXXX for 90 days when until XX/XX/XXXX everything in good standing as well as XX/XX/XXXX and so on, this just makes no sense at all. 
Please remove late payment reporting on all of my student loans accounts, its hurting my credit report / score, also my life very bad.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (KS)

I just received copy of TransUnion 's reply to complaint # XXXX. I find it unbelievable! They have for years, made available a totally inaccurate report of my credit rating and details and they ask for 60 days to correct! 

Their original credit bureau report stated the following : " Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiiable information Inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information must be removed or corrected, usually within 30 days. However, a consumer reporting agency may continue to report information it has verified as accurate ''. 

TransUnion has not indicated they have verified ANYTHING as accurate. They are not authorized any additional time beyond the 30 days originally allotted! They have used up 12 of the 30 days and must complete ALL CORRECTIVE ACTION within the remaining 18 days AND NO MORE! 
TransUnion has also reported information beyond 7 years aged, this is not legal!. The FTC and the DOJ will intervene if necessary. TRANSUNION - Get your problems fixed NOW.
