Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (OH)

15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting this information. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been validated, lets be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form XXXX Cancellation XXXX Debt.

Company: MOHELA (UT)

I am encountering a number of egregious practices on MOHELA 's part to prevent me from qualifying for PSLF. I've been working for 10 years without a gap in employment in public universities and now that I have actually met the 120 qualifying payments, the first issue I encountered with MOHELA was they somehow missed counting 5 months of my certified employment ( which was odd since I saw the paperwork provided by my employer and dates were typed and difficult to misinterpret ). I called MOHELA 's PSLF department on and had my form re-processed on XXXX and on XXXX my PSLF tracker reflected 120 qualifying payments. The second issue, and the most egregious, is now that MOEHLA acknowledged my 120 qualifying payments and while I thought my account was being reviewed by the Federal Student Aid department, I was just notified ( XXXX ) that MOHELA put my account on an " Administrative Forbearance '' which was applied retroactively to my XXXX and XXXX payments ( which was previously a qualifying payment, I have documentation of this ) now putting me at 119 qualifying payments- coincidentally one payment away from qualifying for PSLF. I don't know how it is legal to put my account retroactively on an administrative forbearance, without any information or consent, and take away my qualifying payment?! I have copies of my 120 qualifying payments in their system since I printed the pages to pdf and documentation of the payments I made on time. I feel completely powerless against this lender and I will now sit for a day on hold trying to sort this out. I believe these actions are evidence of MOHELA 's attempts to prevent me, and undoubtedly others, from receiving student debt relief that they qualify for via PSLF.

I continue to get a phone call from an agency claiming to be Premier Portfolio. They call my cell phone from numbers all over the united states, so I have not been able to successfully block them. I do not know this company, and do not have any outstanding debts in collections. They claim that it is for a check cashed in my name with my ssn and routing number, which does n't make any sense why they would have my SSN. I 've looked it up, and they are apparently scamming other individuals as well. I want to report them as well as get them to stop calling me.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: LD Holdings Group, LLC (DC)

Loandepot is the servicer of my VA loan. During the month of XXXX, I was notified that only " certified funds '' were accepted as a form of payment to the servicer. During the month of XXXX, I made a payment using my banks " XXXX XXXX '' service, which sends certified funds directly from the bank to the payee ( Loandepot ), the payment was accepted. 

However, during the month of XXXX, Loandepot returned the payment to the bank, which subsequently had to go through a process of depositing the certified funds back into my account taking a few days. I contacted Loandepot to and my bank to understand why the check was rejected. My bank stated that the payee ( Loandepot ) returned the payment back to my bank without a stated reason. Loandepot stated that they do no accept the certified funds method of " XXXX XXXX '', only Cashier 's Check and Money Order that had to be mailed in. As the deadline for payment approached, this was not a viable option, and I requested a quick resolution to either wire the money as a payment or ACH, or allow the bill pay service to go through. The representative from Loandepot said that was not allowed and would have to go " through a request '' which was subsequently denied, and I now have a late payment fee. 

This seems predatory given that they did not mention that " certified funds '' is a definition that is only limited to Cashiers Check 's or Money Orders. Certified funds are funds that are guaranteed and include services like bill pay. Their behavior may be breaching laws and regulations to their ambigious defintion of " certified funds ''.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (IN)

On XXXX/XXXX/2016, I requested a credit limit increase with HHgregg/ Synchrony bank. I spoke with a representative who never informed me by requesting a credit limit increase this would count as a hard- pull on my credit file. Currently I 'm enrolled with FICO credit alert and on XXXX I was alerted to an Hard Inquiry on my credit report, upon further investigation I noticed it was from Synchrony Bank. I called Synchrony bank and spoke with several agents who advised me anytime you request a credit limit increase this is counted as a hard pull on your credit report. I explained to several of the reps I was never given this options when I spoke with the rep who processed my request for a credit limit increase, I then asked were all the calls recorded and was told yes they are. I spoke with the fraud department and spoke with XXXX who advised me they would have o fill out paperwork to have this hard inquiry removed but he would need to transfer me to Customer service???? So I spoke with a rep from customer service who had no Idea what paperwork the prev rep was talking about, I asked for a supervisor and spoke with " XXXX '' from Customer Account Services I explained to her the issues and wanted to have the call reviewed the day I spoke rep on XXXX pertaining to credit Increase just to prove to her I was never advised this would be a hard-pull on my credit file. XXXX advised she was unable to assist me and she would trans me to a XXXX rep. I disconnected the call out of frustration and decided to file a complaint against Synchrony Bank to have this Hard Inquiry removed from my credit file.

My XXXX XXXX XXXX is financed through Credit Acceptance where I am the cosigner as I had to get my XXXX-year-old father to sign as principal after finding out I am the principal on my son 's XXXX XXXX truck I cosigned a few years earlier. This was done without my knowledge or approval ; I mean I will cosign for my kids but NEVER the principal signee but that 's another story. Since XXXX of XXXX after being contacted by my Dad that he was forced to make XXXX payments on this account to keep it current. At the time, I had missed XXXX XXXX XXXX payment & another one was n't due until the XXXX of XXXX XXXX. Okay, thanks Dad, paid him back & set up my automatic payment again. Credit Acceptance took another payment in XXXX so it was really ahead, then XXXX in XXXX on the XXXX & then the XXXX. I called in XXXX as I 'm a XXXX & can not afford their mistakes. They blamed this on having XXXX separate accounts set up even though they both came for the same & original bank account. I received a call on XXXX XXXX, XXXX where I was told I was again a payment behind ; they did not take XX/XX/XXXX payment for some reason even though these were once again submitted in XXXX XXXX. I made arrangements for their automatic payment representative to set this up once again, even being read their disclosure authorizing this. I also made sure all my info was correct as my father 's diagnosis of familiar XXXX XXXX XXXX was confirmed & wanted to be sure they had everything accurate. I stupidly enough thought all was well until Sunday evening, XXXX XXXX, XXXX ; when the repossession man was at my door to get the XXXX in the garage. Thinking everything was just a misunderstanding, I let them take it as I was also under the impression I had no other choice ... this money was just sitting in my bank account so it was no problem getting it caught up once Credit Acceptance was opened on Monday morning but, this came with a {$330.00} loss I am told is my fault for not making sure the payments were actually drafted. I 'm thinking, XXXX more payments & they know the principal signee has XXXX XXXX who was also NEVER contacted. This seems like a scam to me!

I have sent XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX a debt validation letter which they received on XXXX XXXX, 2015 XXXX and they chose to ignore many questions in my letter concerning my request for validation. Transunion have come back to me and stated that they were able to verify this debt. How is this possible? Under the laws of the FDCPA, I have contacted the collection agency myself and have been unable to get them to verify that this is indeed my debt. 
I have enclosed copies of my requests to the collection agency, asking them to validate my debts, and the receipts showing that I sent these letters certified signature request. This debt is not mine and I was given no evidence of my obligation to pay this debt to this collection agency.The FCRA requires Transunion to verify the validity of the item within 30 days. If the validity can not be verified, they are obligated by law to remove the item.

I paid off credit card by {$3500.00} too much. I want this money placed into checking held with same bank. When you call they say an email will be sent over and it needs to be requested via this proccess. However no email is ever sent out. When you call they say that there is no one you can talk with to help. It all needs to be done via email. It is already in the system and you just need to wait for it. No matter how many times you call no email is ever sent. When you make a payment to the credit card from checking held with same bank it happens right away. Looks like they put a proccess in place where you can't get your money back.
