Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (LA)

Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX are reporting an unverifiable bankruptcy on my credit report in the amount of {$0.00}. Every time I call Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX to dispute the bankruptcy they always tell me that they verified it through the courts. I went to the louisiana bankruptcy courts to see if that was true and they insured me that it was not true. The louisiana bankruptcy clerk informed me that the courts do not verify nor validate any information to the credit bureaus. She also prepared a letter to send out to me so I could have it in writing. When I called equifax and XXXX to inform them about the incorrect information they told me. They said they verified it through pacer so I emailed pacer to see if they verified anything and pacer also respond to my email stating that they do not verify anything, I will attach the email to this complaint. After getting the email and calling the Transunion to follow up with the bankruptcy dispute the guy who answered my phone call was foreign so I couldnt understand him so I asked for the u.s special handling department. A supervisor in the u.s department took my call and told me she couldnt tell me exactly how it was verified. I informed her that she was violating the FCRA laws by keeping that information from me. She then told me they may have verified it through XXXX so after talking to her I emailed XXXX to ask them how do they verify bankruptcies. They said they verified them through the courts, i then emailed XXXX back and informed them that I had spoken to the courts and they do not verify bankruptcies. When XXXX emailed me back they did not respond directly to the message they had me to call them. Upon calling XXXX and explaining why I got in touch with them they told me that was incorrect information and that they do not have the right to verify bankruptcies. Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX have constantly lied to me about the bankruptcies and gave me false information about verifying the unverifiable bankruptcy. Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX are in direct violations of the fcra. XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX is reporting the unverifiable bankruptcy through hearsay of some sort and that is also a violation. XXXX, XXXX and Transunion can not continue to violate my rights.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA (CA)

I am currently a borrower with Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, or XXXX XXXX. I am a borrower hoping to utilize the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. 

My issue with XXXX XXXX is their repeated miscalculations regarding my payments toward the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. Nearly everytime I submit an employment certification letter, my loan calculations are incorrect, or have changed significantly. I have three examples, with documentation to show a pattern of miscalculation. 

OnXX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX showing the number of payments made toward the PSLF program. One of my loans ( loan sequence 006 of 5 loans ) had 22 payments as of the date of that letter. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a similar letter after submitting another employment certification form, for which I earned 4 more payments toward PSLF. Yet, my loan ( sequence 006 ) now showed only 15 total payments toward the PSLF program. 11 payments, which were previously counted on the XX/XX/XXXXletter were missing. I have contacted XXXX twice about these missing payments and have yet to receive an updated calculation. 

Additionally, afterXX/XX/XXXX letter the rest of my loans ( sequence XXXX ) were each missing 1 payment. According to the XX/XX/XXXX letter, three of my loans ( XXXX ) had 23 payments counted toward the PSLF program. However, as of XX/XX/XXXX each of the loans now had 26 payments counted toward the PSLF program, even though the letter was to certify 4 more payments toward the program. Loans XXXX should be at 27 payments as of XX/XX/XXXX, not 26. 

Finally, According to the letter on XX/XX/XXXX, I had an employment certification from an organization from the dates of XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. This should count as 9 payments from that organization because I make payments on the XXXX of each month. Yet, the letter only counts 8 payments made toward the PSLF program. 

These three examples demonstrate a pattern of miscalculations from XXXX, all of which have served against me, and my progress toward the Public Service Loan Forgiveness. I have made repeated attempts to have these loan payments calculated correctly. At this point, there are so many issues that I think it has become difficult for the staff to remedy the situation. 

In addition to these three miscalculation examples, I still have not received payments made in XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX counted toward the PSLF program due to a retroactive in-school deferment placed on my account by XXXX XXXX. I have been waiting to have those payments counted.

I received notification that betweenXX/XX/XXXX- XX/XX/XXXX your automotive account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was removed from your credit report. But upon viewing a recent copy of my credit report with XXXX it is now stating that disputed information updated. By law I was supposed to receive anything related to a vehicle repossession and or sale of said vehicle and have n't when it was repossessed in XX/XX/XXXX. I 've called XXXX who only gave me information to collection agency. Contacted collection agency regarding this matter over 45 days ago now and no response. This is also showing as {$0.00} balance, so if I 'm no longer liable for money due why is this not been removed from my credit profile?

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

I have disputed this account twice with Experian. Once over the phone on XXXX XXXX,2017 and they placed a fraud alert on my file and sent it to the other two credit bureaus to follow suit. A couple of days later they sent an email with the dispute being ready and stated that the company has verified that it was my account and it will not be removed. I started another dispute for Experian to validate and not verify anything. I asked for all documents, contracts that i signed that was used to validate this collection account.and was XXXX XXXX XXXX licensed to collect any debt from me in this state. Once again i did not receive any documents validating any debt that is suppose to belong to me and that is being reported incorrectly and causing harm on my credit.

XXXX XXXX XXXX Speedy Cash # XXXX sued me around XX/XX/XXXX. We went to court and had a hearing where I filed a Motion to Dismiss, there was a scheduling order and Defendant 's First Request for Production of Documents and A Journal Entry with Dismissal by the Petitioner Attorney  XXXX XXXX. Around XX/XX/XXXX I received a phone call from Attorney  XXXX XXXX asking if I would like to settle. We reached a settlement where he would pay me {$16.00} and remove this debt from all three credit reporting agencies. The mysterious thing is that XXXX XXXX sued me, but a debt collection agency owned by Attorney XXXX XXXX named XXXX is reporting the debt to the credit bureaus. I wrote two letters to XXXX XXXX and one to XXXX XXXX. I wrote and disputed with the credit bureaus and showed my proof that there was a settlement and the case was dismissed by Attorney XXXX. I have all the paperwork and evidence. I have NEVER received the {$16.00} from Attorney  XXXX nor has the wrongful credit reporting ceased. XXXX is still reporting this debt, ruining my credit, when the case was settled and dismissed in XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Money was not available when promised — 
Company: Coinbase, Inc. (IL)

I initiated an ACH transfer for {$10000.00} to Coinbase on  XX/XX/XXXX. It cleared my bank account on XX/XX/XXXX. Coinbase notified me that they received it on XXXX. 

On XXXX ( after trying/failing for several days due to Coinbase website issues ), I completed my identity verification. My driver 's license is issued by Minnesota, but I reside in Illinois. After my verification succeeded, Coinbase notified me that due to restrictions with residents of the state of Minnesota, my USD wallet was disabled. 

I immediately submitted a support ticket through their website letting them know that I resided in Illinois and not Minnesota. Once I received notification that they received my transfer on XXXX, I could not see the {$10000.00} on their website, and it has never shown up there ( since the USD wallet is n't visible at all ). 

At this point ( on XXXX ), I called their support phone number. They provided me another link to be able to submit my lease to verify my place of residence was Illinois. I uploaded my lease immediately and responded to the email as requested. XXXX I received a response ( the only email response I 've ever received from them that was n't initiated by a phone call from me ) that indicated they received my documentation and would submit it to a specialist. 

I have called ( and waited on hold a minimum of 1.5 hours each time ) at least six times to talk to support people. On the last call on XX/XX/XXXX, the support person indicated that I was still in the queue for a specialist, and if they even opened/viewed my ticket ( or if I responded to the email ) I would be dropped to the end of the queue! After explaining my issue again, they indicated that they thought my problems could be a technical issue. To avoid dropping me to the end of the 'specialist ' queue, they opened up another ticket in the separate 'technical ' queue. I have heard nothing further from either of these support tickets. 

Since I am now in both queues that I know of, I 'm not able to talk to anyone that addresses either of these queues ( I 've asked multiple times ), and I 'm not able to receive any other updates ( since the support people ca n't open my tickets and I ca n't respond to the emails for fear of dropping to the end of a long queue ), I 'm basically left without access to my money or seemingly any other recourse short of legal action. I decided to try this site before going that much more painful/expensive route.

Company: FAIR COLLECTIONS & OUTSOURCING, INC. (MI)

I had a lease with XXXX XXXX XXXX michigan that endedXX/XX/XXXX. I paid my rent as agreed in the lease for the entire 12 months. In XXXX i subitted my written notice to vacate with my rental payment. The check was cashed. When i turned the keys into the office on or about XX/XX/XXXX they asked me to fill out a form and i did so. I think the company is using that form and ignoring my written letter from 60 days prior to say i violated the notice clause in the lease. I never received my XXXX security deposit and i did not get a list of damages from the apartment complex within 30 days, but i did give them an address within 4 days of vacating as set by law. I called once to inquire about the security deposit but no one ever called me back. On XXXX or about 90 days after i vacated and lease expired i received a notice from XXXX and XXXX stating I owe {$1500.00} to them for the apartment. I called the apartment complex first and they gave me this collection co number to answer any questions. I called and asked how they came up with {$1500.00} in charged and they stated I didnt give 60 days notice to vacate and they said there was damage to the apartment. The collection company said the debt will be eligible for a judgement on XXXX XXXX th, which I took to mean I was Being sued but they couldnt/wouldnt tell me where. I believe the threat of legal action is not appropriate because the apartment has not followed the law on how they handled my security deposit and in Michigan a landlord has 45 days to start a law suit which they failed to do and typically this means after that deadline it is not a legitimate debt. The collection compsny demanded {$1500.00} and i sent a certified letter disputing the debt and asking how they calculated the fees. They responded onXXXX with a statement showing a {$1200.00} nonsufficient notice fee that is not listed in the lease. This statement was dated XX/XX/XXXX but it was never received by me and when i called the leasing co to ask about the security drpisit no one ever called me back and when i called after getting the first letter they referred me to the collection company who demanded the money and told me they would seek legal action on XXXX XXXX th- whic is a weekend. I felt threatened that if I didnt pay this would create legal problems for me and destroy my credit. Because they wouldnt tell me how I could defend myself against a lawsuit from them I felt like i had no option but to cooperate with them and give them information they were seeking.
