Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NM)

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I have identified multiple errors that have adversely affected my credit score. These errors are not a true reflection of my credit history, and I believe they may have resulted from clerical mistakes, identity theft, or outdated information. I am requesting that these inaccuracies be promptly investigated and removed to ensure my credit report accurately reflects my financial responsibility. The incorrect information has caused undue harm to my credit score, which can affect my ability to secure credit and other financial opportunities. I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency it requires and make the necessary corrections.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NE)

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't decrease my monthly payments
Company: SLM CORPORATION (CA)

I contacted Sallie Mae to request some relief when I could not make $ XXXX/month payments on a XXXX % private student loan. Asking if there was any way to lower my payments I was told that I could enroll in auto debit to save .25 % on my interest. I told them that that would not help. I was then told that I would have to miss payments and go delinquent on the loan before they could offer me any additional assistance. After I missed my first payment I called again and was told that I would have to get current before they could offer me any relief. I did n't have the {$200.00} that I owed them now they wanted {$400.00} before they would discuss relief. I missed an additional payment and called them a third time. This time I informed them that I was recording the call to keep my own records because I believed that I could not rely on them to work with me to offer realistic solutions. They refused to speak to me while I was recording and disconnected the call.

Toward the end of XXXX XXXX my father died. He had XXXX bank accounts at Bank of America. XXXX of those accounts were simply in his name, XXXX was in the name of the XXXX XXXX. Beginning in XXXX, XXXX I went into the bank with all necessary ( which I believed necessary, as I had already dealt satisfactorily with XXXX XXXX Bank -- where my father had XXXX accounts ) documents, such as death certificate, the Trust document proving I was the only heir and Successor Trustee all my ID ( and may I state my husband and I have considerable funds deposited in B of A. ) Starting in XXXX, I was made to come in XXXX separate times ( and the result is still in question ) to settle this matter!! Each time the bank manager went to the back, supposedly faxed all necessary paperwork to their Trust Division ( which happens to be back XXXX ) and said " It 's all done, just wait for the check in the mail. '' Within XXXX3 weeks I would then receive a letter from the Trust division stating they still needed paperwork. Not only was I getting upset, the bank manager was also -- stating this never happened before. Although I am not in need of the monies, I began thinking of people who may actually need funds soon after a death -- to pay for funeral expenses, maintain a house that existed in the will, etc. I began thinking the B of A. seems to be unnecessarily stalling people from getting what is legally theirs. It has been over three months!! and I still have n't seen final resolution.

Company: Incomm Holdings Inc. (AZ)

I purchased a {$500.00} XXXX XXXX gift card on XXXX/XXXX/16 from XXXX. The card was subsequently lost and I could not find the receipt with the XXXX digit identifying number and so I simply accepted it as a loss and moved on. Recently I found the gift card stub with this identifying number and quickly called Incomm to see if this was in fact the receipt I needed. The representative was easily able to find the card with the {$500.00} still on it and I was given a reference number and an e-mail address. I was told to send a photo of my ID, proof of address, and the gift receipt and the card would be replaced and mailed to me. 

I waited for a few weeks and when it never turned up I called them back. The representative then told me that the receipt was not enough and I needed to collect an electronic journal from XXXX, I had already done this once in the past but had thrown it away when I was told it was not enough and that I also needed the XXXX digit code. 

I attempted multiple times to get this electronic journal, both through the local store that I purchased the card at and the corporate office. I was told the receipt would be mailed to me after i supplied the necessary information over the phone, which I did, which included the exact date and time of the purchase and the amount of the purchase. Once again I never received this in the mail either, I called XXXX and was told that electronic journals were only kept for 90 days and there was nothing they could do as I purchased the card months ago. 

Incomm showed surprise at the fact there was no journal and stated they must be kept 365 days by XXXX, I tried to get it again multiple times but each representative at XXXX confirmed it was not kept that long. I escalated to a manager at Incomm hoping to resolve the issue in some other way, either through a bank statement or some other method of proof of purchase. Bear in mind from the start I was told I had already submitted sufficient information and then it turned into this fiasco. 

I am hoping the CFPB will be able to help me resolve this in some other manner, as I find it completely unacceptable they have already identified this unused card with {$500.00} on it and are now telling me I have n't submitted the proper information.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (VA)

My loan is charged off due to me filing a bankruptcy and it is delinquent. I was transferred to XXXX to make payments and I did fine for 37-38 months with no problems. XXXX was auto debiting my account directly for {$110.00} a month and I was placed into a reduced interest rate program. With no warning my account was taken from XXXX and given to another company at the same time I was n't aware my auto payment stopped. At this time I was immediately placed into a delinquent status and reporting to my credit report for non payment. I found out my loan transferred twice since XXXX and I was finally able to get it re-established today with the latest company handling the delinquent porfolio. When I contact Navient Customer Service they place me in a round robin of transfers and they wo n't provide me with the direct number to the company handling the loan. I 've spoken to XXXX, Navient Customer Service, XXXX, then with XXXX. Navient is saying they can only collect the full amount due and I have to speak with a servicer who handles the loan to do anything further because it 's charged off. I called the final company XXXX the first representative said they no longer serviced my account. I had to start the call pattern over again it was n't until I called Navient again and became irate that she stayed on line until she got me to the proper company. Due to all these servicing transfers payments have not been collected and I am also disappointed that my credit is impacted even more due to their internal servicing transfers and poor communication.
