Approximately 4 months ago I settled a debt with Conn 's Appliances , Inc. through the collection company for which they referred my deliquent account to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The balance due was {$2000.00}. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX and stated to them that I was rebuilding my credit and I would like to settle the outstanding balance. We negotiated and agreed upon a favorable amount of {$980.00}. I received a letter from XXXX XXXX stating their client Conn 's Appliances , Inc.,  authorized to proceed with the settlement offer. I provided XXXX XXXX XXXX a posted dated draft from my checking account which authorized the payment draft for XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX dated XX/XX/2017 they received the payment and posted the payment to my Conn 's Appliance Account. I have reviewed my credit reports from all three bureaus and see where Conn 's Applicance is providing falsified inaccurate information on my credit reports stating I have a remaining owed balance of {$990.00} that is delinquent. I written all three credit bureaus with supporting documentation of agreement and cancelled draft/check that shows this is now a settled debt. All three bureaus are telling my that Conn 's Applicance is stating I owe this amount and the account is still open. This is not fair nor is this in compliance of the FTCA.

Company: SFS, Inc (NC)

XXXX XXXX, 2017 {$600.00}. I applied for a Payday Loan for {$600.00}. I did n't realize the interest rate until afterwards and saw how much I had to pay back. I called to get some clarification and was told my payments go to interest first then principal so I would be paying back a little of {$2000.00} just for the {$600.00} I borrowed. I asked how to avoid this and was told I could n't. I had an emergency when I borrowed the money but I live off of XXXX payments and ca n't afford these high interest payments. Nothing I pay back seems to go to the principal amount.

Company: First Associates Loan Servicing LLC (LA)

I attended XXXX XXXX XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX. During that time I was enrolled in the XXXX program. At the time I did not realize I was not given the option to decline the Peaks private loan or use all my Federal loans before taking out a private loan. The loan they had me sign for was original {$6800.00} and currently XXXX. After I attending for about a year I realized I made mistake and decided to drop my classes. Around the time I decided to drop my classes I signed for the Peaks private Loan. So I called to have the loan cancelled. At that time First Associate was servicing the loan, and I was told the school will cancel the loan and return monies. However, that did not happen. I decided to sue over loan in XX/XX/XXXX. However, I lost my case. Last year, I learned that XXXX was found guilty of predatory lending and unethical business practices which resulted in them closing all their institutions. I am requesting that this loan be dismiss due to the nature of its circumstances, that reporting be removed from my credit report, and my money return to me that I paid over the years.

Company: ONEMAIN FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, LLC. (MA)

I have tried several times to contact Springleaf Financial/OneMain Financial to correct the unpaid status on my credit reports. In both cases the accounts were sold. Springleaf to XXXX XXXX and OneMain to XXXX XXXXBoth loans were settled with the debt purchasing companies. Copies of the paid information was sent to all three credit reporting agencies, as well as, the debt sellers.Both debt buyers have confirmed payment and claim to have notified the debt sellers of the paid status.XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX and was told the account is paid/settled and that I should dispute the account with Springleaf to have the status updated as Paid/Settled to all credit reporting agencies.
XX/XX/XXXX I called Springleaf and was told the account was a charge off when sold and even though now that it was paid to the debt buyer, they will not update the credit bureaus as paid/settled.XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX XXXX and was told they report to OneMain all payments once a month on the XX/XX/XXXX. My account should be updated on all credit bureaus as Paid/Settled upon the next reporting cycle.
XX/XX/XXXX I called OneMain and was told when XXXX XXXX reports the payment, the credit bureau will be updated as paid/settled.XX/XX/XXXX I mailed all proof of payment and a dispute letter-request to updated paid status to all credit bureaus to both OneMain and Springleaf Financial.XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Springfleaf/OneMain claiming the information reported is correct? They are still reporting the accounts as "Charged Off" delinquent and unpaid.XX/XX/XXXX I submit the complaint to the CFPB in hopes to obtain a correct paid status on the Springleaf and OneMain trade lines. I don't understand why even after a debt is sold and paid to the debt buyer, why the debt seller will not update the paid status. That would be the correct status, wouldn't it?

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Don't agree with the fees charged
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (MA)

I graduated in 2006. I had XXXX XXXX in loans when I graduated. in XXXX 2006 a month after my repayments started, XXXX XXXX charged me {$710.00} in Capitalized interest along with a repayment fee of {$320.00} for EACH loan. This totaled {$7300.00} in FEES! I noticed there was an issue when XXXX XXXX told me I was not paying my minimum monthly payment. Due to these fees- and not notifying me of them- my minimum monthly payment had increased and I was unaware. It was a hit on mine and my fathers credit report. I told my Dad who was a cosigner to my loans. He logged into his account and saw no changes to my account. For years this was an ongoing battle with my Dad over how much I actually owed. Early this year I called navient and they told me my original Loan amount was upwards of $ 80k. My Dad dug into his files and found payments and details of loan applications and statements. XXXX XXXX Navient charged me a fee to repay their loans. {$7300.00} to be exact. This is not including the interest I have had to pay on the fees! I have been paying my loans for 11 years and I still have {$41000.00} left when I started at XXXX XXXX. This is discouraging and misleading way for a company to handle student loans.

Company: Capital Accounts, LLC (NY)

I received a phone call at XXXX on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX from a debt collector ( Capital Accounts ) regarding a delinquent bill from my XXXX going back to XX/XX/XXXX. The original bill from the XXXX was {$400.00}. The debt collector told me that if I did not pay the bill immediately, he would charge me 16 % interest on the debt going back to XX/XX/XXXX. I was also told that if I did not pay the bill immediately, my credit score would be harmed. All of this seemed like a threat to pressure me into paying and I wanted to know if they could do what they claimed. I had received a bill from this debt collection agency on XX/XX/XXXX. I asked the man on the phone to hold while I look for the bill he had already sent me. At that point, he became irritated and told me he did not have the time to wait. I found the bill and began to question it. I determined that I would not get a clear response from the representative and terminated the phone call. I then called the number on the bill at XXXX and reached his supervisor. I asked the supervisor about the 16 % interest. He told me that I was already being charged the interest and that what his representative told me about the back charges of 16 % interest was incorrect. When I pressed him about the misleading nature of his representative 's claims, he responded to the effect that some " re-training '' might be necessary. I protested that it was unfair for them to mislead me. I can not recollect the precise exchange that followed, but I told the supervisor that I would look into this matter to see if they were allowed to mislead me. He asked for my email address, which I refused to give him. He asked that I confirm my address, which he did. I thanked him and terminated the call. Unfortunately, I do not have a record of the phone conversation, but the supervisor told me that they record all calls.

Company: SANTANDER BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (AR)

Since XXXX XXXX, 2017, I have been trying to gain access to my account with Santander, but after five attempts and no resolution, I am finally giving up. I have spoken to roughly six people at Santander and they have all claimed to try and help me, to no avail. I have requested a PIN to be sent to me three times and a checkbook to be sent to me once. Every single time, I receive NOTHING in my mail. When I ask them to close my account, they tell me I must send in a notarized letter to do so, which is unacceptable for someone who is extremely busy. Their only other two options seem to be sending me a PIN or a checkbook, both of which have not happened with FOUR tries. My account currently has {$810.00} in it.
