Issue: Managing the loan or lease — 
Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. (CA)

I am having a problem with Santander Consumer. They are reporting late payments on a vehicle loan for which I have paid off. The account is closed. However these negative payments are adversely affecting my credit score and causing me to be turned down for credit. I have no such knowledge of all these late payments. I wrote to Santander on XXXX XXXX, 2016 disputing these late payments and asking for validation of such late payments. I have attached the letter. It was sent Certified mail and signed for by Santander Consumer on XXXX XXXX. 60 days later and I never received a response. Santander failed to provide validation and they violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by not providing the Credit Bureaus a notice of dispute within the required time frame as evidenced by my credit report dated XXXX XXXX, 2016 where the account was not marked disputed which I have also attached. According to FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies [ XXXX XXXX. XXXX ] ( XXXX ) Duty to provide notice of dispute. If the completeness or accuracy of any information furnished by any person to any consumer reporting agency is disputed to such person by a consumer, the person may not furnish the information to any consumer reporting agency without notice that such information is disputed by the consumer. 
( B ) Time of Notice ( I ) The notice required under subparagraph ( A ) shall be provided to the customer prior to, or no later than 30 days after, furnishing the negative information to a consumer reporting agency described in section XXXX ( p ). 
As Santander Consumer is violating federal law ( and they still have not marked it disputed more than 90 days later ) and causing damage to my financial well being, they should remove the account and /or late payments from the credit reporting agencies.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (LA)

I am rejecting this response because : The Credit Bureau recent response to my complaint regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. 

Despite my numerous attempts to dispute these erroneous accounts and rectify the situation, TransUnion has failed to adequately address and resolve the issues at hand. 

Over the past several months, I have repeatedly contacted The Credit Bureau, providing detailed information and supporting documentation to demonstrate the inaccuracies present in my credit report. Unfortunately, each attempt has been met with insufficient action and a lack of proper investigation into the matters I raised. This ongoing negligence has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and has had adverse effects on my financial well-being. 

I am now seeking the intervention and assistance of the CFPB to help resolve these persistent issues. The Credit Bureau failure to correct these inaccuracies and conduct a thorough investigation is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, they have breached my consumer rights to a fair and accurate credit report by not fulfilling their obligation to investigate disputes properly and correct any errors. 

The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must investigate disputed information and make corrections if inaccuracies are found. 
The Credit Bureau continuous disregard for this responsibility has not only violated my rights but has also perpetuated the damages being done to me as a consumer. 

I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure that The Credit Bureau adheres to the FCRAs requirements and conducts a comprehensive review of my disputes. I am seeking a resolution that includes the correction of all inaccuracies on my credit report and a guarantee that my consumer rights will be respected moving forward.

Due to identity theft, I have a seven year alert at the credit reporting agencies.

I was informed of the inquiry through my XXXX account. I called Chase security department who was unaware of the fraud alert, and closed the account. They said they would conduct an investigation.

What would have happened next is the thief would lock down the account with a password and change the address to theirs in Washington state. This has happened twice previously, with XXXX Bank and with XXXX who assisted me in setting up the fraud alert in XXXX.

I sent a letter to Experian, stating that the listed items were not being filed accurately on my credit report. I stated that I needed them properly verified and they were not. I was also told in the response letter that they would not re-investigate. 

As a part of FCRA ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ) they did not provide me with information that was transmitted to the data furnisher. They did not inform me of who they spoke with, the date, how long was the conversation, what was their position, what number did they call, what was the name of the employee that spoke to the creditor, what was the position of the employee that spoke to the creditor. This inaccurate reporting has caused me emotional distress and hindered my job search.

Company: Exeter Finance, LLC. (OK)

Please accept as addendum to XXXX # XXXX. I previously submitted a complaint regarding my payment history over the life of an auto loan with Exeter Finance Corp. The complaint was submitted to Exeter Finance by CFPB on XX/XX/XXXX. The substance of my complaint regards conversations with Exeter Finance XXXX employees providing me inaccurate information regarding the loan - particularly on XXXX occasions I applied to defer XXXX payment each to the end of the loan however Exeter XXXX 's state each Deferment represented XXXX payments each. When provided the Deferment information I disagreed with the info and both Exeter XXXX 's then stated my account was past due for the previous or XXXX previous months which is also inaccurate - the XXXX 's both confirmed payments were paid as agreed for the previous and preceding month for each Deferment but continued to insist their information was valid by stating the account was past due for some other month which was also incorrect. 
In addition when I purchased and signed the XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX the financing arrangements were made by the dealership and I was quoted an interest rate of 20.99 %. The cost of the vehicle I purchased was {$12000.00} - the amount financed for the vehicle was {$10000.00} - I paid {$500.00} down in cash and traded in a XXXX XXXX XXXX in good condition. I was not told by the dealership the value of my trade-in. As of XX/XX/XXXX I have paid XXXX total payments. At the end of the loan I will have paid {$15000.00} and with the final XXXX ( XXXX ) payments due to pay the loan in full the interest rate is actually 50 % - not 20.99 % as stated in the XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with an off-shore XXXX XXXX who stated if a payment is " late '' the full payment is applied to " interest '' - not the loan itself which does NOT explain a 50 % interest rate charged from XX/XX/XXXX until the date of the first late payment on XX/XX/XXXX. 
In addition both the Dealer and Exeter Finance Corp were aware the vehicle - XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX - was a salvage title vehicle or ineligible for resale due to a malfunction of the vehicle 's passenger side airbag that was the subject of a XXXX recall in XX/XX/XXXX. I was not informed of the serious nature of the vehicle 's airbag status because I have never been provided title to the vehicle.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (NY)

A couple of years or so ago, I attempted to understand better how to make principal-only payments on my student loans that are handled by Navient. After a lengthy conversation with the service representative, I was told that there is no effective way of making a principal-only payment even in the means by which the  Navient  website describes. The only recourse was to submit a special  XXXX  spreadsheet with a specific date and amount that was designated for principal only, and mail was the only means to accomplish this task.     Because of these obstacles, I chose to continue paying my student loans via the regular way provided conveniently on the Navient website which allows for easy auto payment, but not much else. Even when I would make several  XXXX  dollars extra in payments per month to try to have extra money count towards principal, only about  XXXX  % would be applied to principal, again, with no way of effectively directing the payments as I desired to pay off my loans in accordance with the advice of every  financial advisor I h ave spoken with ( i.e. pay extra towards principal whenever possible ).     Their tactics of making the principal-only payment so prohibitively bureaucratic are obvious and they do nothing to help me or my family be debt-free any sooner than Navient can keep us from doing so. Please help me, so I can pay off my debt.

The recordings of my conversations with XXXX XXXX from the end of XXXX 2016 through XXXX XXXX, 2016 have been pulled by their supervisory staff and listened to, and verified that I had been given incorrect and false information about my next payment date being XXXX 2016. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I was informed by XXXX XXXX 's supervisor, XXXX that XXXX , XXXX had " misinformed '' me of where my XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX payments were credited, and they needed an additional {$2400.00} from me to complete the modification. I had been informed XX/XX/XXXX that the modification had already been approved, and had signed the modification agreement as instructed.The issue has gone on for the past 7 wks., and Ocwen does not want to recalculate the figures for the modification since my XX/XX/XXXX payment was credited to " the account '', and NOT towards the modification as told by XXXX XXXX XXXX me, nor was the XX/XX/XXXX payment credited towards the trial payment as told to me. Ocwen has outsourced there customer service in large part to employees in XXXX, but refuses to stand by their misdirection and mistakes. I can confirm this due to a similar problem about XXXX yrs. ago brought to your office regarding misinformation given to me from their XXXX office of a credit of {$2300.00} due me ( according to their relationship manager ), in which Ocwen sent me a check for the supposed overpayment. About 7 days after I received and deposited their reimbursement check into my account, they discovered " inhouse '' that their employee had made a mistake, and they immediately stopped payment on the check and caused over {$3000.00} overdraft in my account. It took almost 10 1/2 months and the involvement of the Attorney Generals Office to force them to stand behind their mistake. THIS situation SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN 7 WEEKS AND XXXX SUPERVISORS TO CORRECT, while I am still getting the run around from their supervisors! I am attaching pertinent documents FYI. Their actions in the past case was deemed " illegal '' since it was discovered they had reversed a prior loan payment sent my me to actually " refund '' monies to my bank for the overdraft, INSTEAD OF USING THEIR OWN OCWEN FUNDS.

Dispute of Collection Account on Credit Report Dear CFPB I am writing to formally complaint because i found a collection account listed on my credit report. After reviewing my credit report, I noticed an entry that I believe is inaccurate and in violation of certain federal laws. The details of the account in question are as follows : Creditor/Collection Agency : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Entry : XX/XX/year> Creditor/Collection Agency : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number XXXX XXXX Date of Entry : XX/XX/year> Creditor/Collection Agency : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Entry : XX/XX/year> Creditor/Collection Agency : XXXXXXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Date of Entry : XX/XX/year> My dispute is based on the following federal statutes : 15 U.S.C. 6802 ( Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act - Privacy Protections ) : This statute regulates the disclosure of nonpublic personal information by financial institutions. I believe the collection account listed involves the unauthorized disclosure of my personal financial information, in violation of this privacy protection statute.

15 U.S.C. 1681b ( Fair Credit Reporting Act - Permissible Purpose ) : According to this section, a credit report can only be accessed for permissible purposes. I question whether the collection agency had a legitimate and permissible reason to access my credit report and report this account to the credit bureaus.

18 U.S.C. 1028A ( Identity Theft - Aggravated Identity Theft ) : This statute criminalizes the use of someone else 's identification in connection with the commission of certain felonies. If this collection account was opened or reported using fraudulent information or without my authorization, it could potentially involve identity theft.

Given these concerns, I request that you investigate this account in detail. Please provide me with the following : Proof of the legitimacy of the debt and the collector 's right to report this account.

Documentation of the permissible purpose under which the collection agency accessed my credit report.

Confirmation that my personal and financial information has not been mishandled or disclosed improperly.

Until this dispute is resolved and the account verified, I request that this collection account be marked as Disputed on my credit report. 

Please respond to this dispute within the timeframe required by law 30 days for receiving this notice. Additionally, please provide me with written confirmation of the outcome of your investigation and any amendments made to my credit report as a result.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC (FL)

I just attempted to payoff my second mortgage with Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing. I went on line to get a payoff amount. The system had me enter a payoff date and gave me an amount but had a disclaimer " Please call for updated figures prior to remitting funds as they are subject to change without notice ''. I called and the agent could not verify the figure and I was told that I would get in a few days. When I asked if I could make a payoff online or on the phone, I was told the online limited me to {$20000.00} of additional principal and they also could not take it over the phone. I would need to mail a check or pay for a wire transfer. This seems to be a very deceptive practice to delay a customer from paying off a loan to increase interest income.
