This letter is in response to your letter on XX/XX/2017 related to the debt referenced above. I have settled this debt and paid it in full. However, since this was done over 3 years after the property in question was short sold, paying off this debt has restarted the clock as to when the last action on the property took place to when the debt was paid.

I have paid this debt in full, and it has severely damaged my credit, and took away my ability to buy a house. I am requesting that you delete this account, since it is no longer open, and is paid in full, it will not harm you to now delete this item.

According to The XXXX letter reporting a derogatory account IS a collection activity, and after the debt is settled ALL collection activities must cease.

Please be aware that this is not an acknowledgment or acceptance of the debt, as I have not received any verification of the debt. Nor is this a promise to pay and is not a payment agreement unless you provide a response as detailed below.

I am aware that your company has the ability to report this debt to the credit bureaus as you deem necessary.

Furthermore, you have the ability to change the listing since you are the information furnisher.

Please forward your agreement to the address listed above. You have 10 days to respond to this letter. I will be in contact with you to resolve this matter ASAP!

I was tricked into paying off this account but the companies council. This was only months before attempting to obtain a mortgage, this showing on my credit report as recently paid did extensive damage to my credit worthiness. This account was well passed the SOL period where it should be affecting my credit report.

At a recent visit to Best Buy, store employees fraudulently tried to sign me up for Best Buy 's private-label credit card. I expressly told them that I did NOT want to apply for the credit card, but they repeatedly ignored me and attempted to sign me up for a credit card. 

On XXXX XXXX, 2017, or there about, I received a letter from Best Buy credit services informing me that my credit card application had been denied. I was shocked to learn that the Best Buy store employees had submitted an application in my name AFTER I stated that I did NOT want a credit card.

Since XX/XX/2022, Ive been trying to get the inaccuracy and incorrect information corrected on my credit report. Ive filed dispute after dispute. Reinvestigation after investigation showing them the incorrect and inaccurate items on my report. The results I get each month have been a updated report with even more inaccuracies and more incorrect items and some accounts not even looked at. It is now XX/XX/2022 and Ive sent another letter full of disputes, about the same accounts, same inaccuracies and same incorrect items. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act These accounts continue to violate my rights even after 3 months of disputing.

I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you cause me. 

Ive sent all 3 credit reporting agencies another set of disputes pertaining to the same errors and incorrect information that they keep allowing to be put on my credit report. The disputes I sent have copies of my credit report, Ive circled each error, and all incorrect information. I attached the letter that I sent. I now will be going to the XX/XX/XXXX to file a complaint as well.

Company: Exeter Finance, LLC. (SC)

I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, and financed with Exeter - two RISCs were signed, one on XX/XX/XXXX, and the other on XX/XX/XXXX. The dealership lied to me and stated that the optional products that I purchased were required in order for Exeter to finance the loan. I purchased GAP for {$890.00} and an Extended Service Warranty for {$1400.00} [ total : {$2300.00} ]. Also, I submitted a cash down payment of {$1000.00}. Further, the dealership told me to tell Exeter during the confirmation call that I had a vehicle that was used as a trade-in for this deal, a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX- the dealership said that they purchased this trade for me through craigslist, in order to use towards the down payment. 

I informed Exeter about the optional products that the dealership said were required to purchase, and Exeter did nothing about it, they told me to call the dealership and dispute my issue with them ; the dealership said to contact Exeter because they are the ones who funded the loan and required the optional products. Exeter repossessed this vehicle around XXXX of XXXX and sold the vehicle at auction. I asked Exeter to refund me my down payment which was applied towards the optional products multiple times but they refused to do so. After conducting research, I discovered that I am entitled to a full refund of my down payment and car payments since Exeter unscrupulously accepted and financed this loan, they lied and the dealership lied - I want my money back.

Company: Amsher Collection Services, Inc. (GA)

On XXXX XXXX, 2018, I contacted the company in an attempt to resolve a debt. I was told that I would be emailed a offer letter the day before. The one that I received did not match the settlement we discussed. I asked to speak with the manager sending it, whose name was XXXX. He informed me that the amount owed could not be fixed because it was generated by their computer. I informed them that if they could not send me an offer letter with the discussed amount on it then I will opt out of it. I ended up speaking with another XXXX who was the Director, he stated, and he was very disrespectful, condescending, and unprofessional after I informed him that I 'm not sure if someone was lying to me about what was discussed over the phone the day prior to our discussion. He went into a tyrant and started to tell me to be quiet so that he could give me what I wanted and proceeded to engage in combative behavior with me, telling me he will not provide me a receipt for what I paid to them already and to contact my bank. He told me that this was not a Customer Service job. ( I 'm assuming for him to treat me like a human ) I do not believe that this is the job for him and he should be removed from it. After going through speaking with him, I felt disrespected, ashamed that he had me yelling and cursing, robbed out of my money, and disregarded as a human being. I was already angry and I informed him that I was recording the call to maintain for my records and I will sue them if I needed to. I was transferred back to him after attempting to contact their headquarters office to report his abusive behavior, in which he was then more calm. I informed him that I do not trust them with my information after the heated conversation that we had earlier.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: SLM CORPORATION (TX)

At XXXX on XX/XX/2022 I called Sallie Mae in an attempt to lower my monthly payments or put my account into deferment. I was transferred to someone in a special department who enrolled me into a rate reduction program. I was told my original payment of {$450.00} would be reduced to {$210.00} for two years. I gave my first payment for XX/XX/2022 over the phone and enrolled in automatic payments for that amount. It was taken out of my account that same day. I was even read an agreement and agreed to terms on the phone and agreed to {$210.00} to be automatically taken out of my account monthly. I was on the phone for a total of XXXX minutes with Sallie Mae representatives on that day. 

On XX/XX/2022 I received an email that I was behind on my payment. I thought it was for sure a mistake. I got on the Sallie Mae chat in the app and told the agent it must have been a mistake and explained the above. The agent however stated that there was nothing on my file regarding a reduced payment program and that my payments would still be {$450.00} a month. 

I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX  student starting clinical rotations with random hours throughout the day. I can not get a job due to being a XXXX XXXX XXXX student and can not afford the whole payment. I was so relieved when the agent enrolled me in the reduction payment program and this has caused me significant XXXX  agony and XXXX as I'm trying to study for my board exams coming up. I hope there is a recording from Sallie Mae to prove that I was told that I was enrolled in the rate reduction program for 2 years.
