Product: Credit reporting — 
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Information is not mine
Company: Credit Karma (CA)

I received a notice on Saturday, XXXX XXXX, 2016 XXXX from creditkarma.com that my password has changed. 
I did n't make this request which came in conjunction with credit card number, being stolen and used fraudulently, and an attempt to hack my yahoo email and XXXX account which, to the best of my knowledge, failed. 
An email dialogue ensured which I have printed out in PDF format The highlights include : - They think I am XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX which they should know I am not because I told them so 14 times and because they are emailing XXXXXXXXXXXX not XXXXXXXXXXXX. 
They actually published XXXX XXXX 's DOB which is personally identifiable information ( PII ) over clear text email to me ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) who self-identified as NOT XXXX XXXX 
At this point my conclusion is either : Credit Karma has been hacked and their email being used by fraudster 's as a phishing attempt. 
Credit Karma is inept and shares DOB over clear text emails and expects me to do the same. 
The email dialogue is attached. They explicitly declined to call me or give me their number. I can not find their number on the web for credit karma. In their email contact they publish a bad number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which is not their company when I call it. 

I submitted a police report this evening in person to police XXXX XXXX XXXX ( on the XXXX XXXX on the evening of XXXX ) of the XXXX, XXXX police department. The police report number is XXXX Jus email is XXXXXXXXXXXX. 

I am foggy on next steps. I would really appreciate an investigator to figure out what 's going on.

Company: AES/PHEAA (ME)

I am writing this letter to request an account review for my student loans serviced by American Education Services due to my current situation. This is my last and final request. I have met with a bankruptcy attorney regarding these loans, and I was informed that I do qualify for a hardship exception based on my XXXX and limited XXXX income. I am prepared to file for bankruptcy XX/XX/2016 if National Collegiate Trust does not move forward and make an exception and forgive these loans due to my XXXX. I understand these loans do not have a forgiveness option. I did have other student loans with other companies which did not have a forgiveness option, and they chose to make an exception and forgive my loans anyway due to the severity of my XXXX and I am aware that National Collegiate Trust also has the discretion to do this. I have been XXXX for over 4 years and there is no cure for my life-threatening disease. I will have this disabling condition the rest of my life and will not be able to return to work and it will eventually result in my early death. 

Please seriously consider my request for loan forgiveness. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: MIDFIRST BANK (PA)

I had some trouble paying my Midland Mortgage VA loan. After many months Midland agreed to modify my loan in 2011. Every payment I made to Midland after the modification was reported late to the credit bureaus. Midland reported my loan on time only after I completed the modification. There was no language in the modification contract regarding the loan being reported late even if the payments were made on time. Because of this my credit record is destroyed and I ca n't refinance to a lower rate. Midland will not help regarding this matter.

Company: AMERICAN HONDA FINANCE CORP (OH)

I purchased a Honda Accord in 2012 at the Honda of XXXX in Ohio. I was sent an advertisement for a XXXX percent interest rate and thought I 'd take advantage of the opportunity. Once I arrived at the dealership and consulted with XXXX XXXX, she informed me that not only did I not qualify for the XXXX percent interest rate but I also had the option of only XXXX car at a higher interest rate, around five percent. I thought this was odd because my credit score was XXXX at the time but with her pushy tactics, I felt forced into the deal. She told me that I did not qualify for the XXXX percent rate but there was another program I qualified for that included higher rates. Last year, I went to another dealership, Honda of XXXX in Ohio, to trade my car in and I was told about restrictions against a trade-in deal. I found out that the Honda of XXXX dealership overcharged me for the car and I was responsible for excess charges. The salesman at the Honda of XXXX also informed me that Honda of XXXX was known for schemes such as the one I am now entangled in. With the recent lawsuit filed against Honda concerning discrimination, my situation aligns with the trouble I have been and still am experiencing. It was as if Honda drew me in just to take advantage of me. I am a middle aged black man.

This is with respect to my experience with Bank of America, XXXX, NJ Branch. I contacted them for a pre qualification of a mortgage loan before I can put an offer on a house I was interested in buying. I made it very clear to them that this is just pre-qualification and asked them if doing it will have any impact on my credit report, and if it did then I do n't want to proceed with them. They made it very clear that this will only be a soft check and it will in no way affect my credit history/report. I went ahead with the pre-qualification with them based on this assurance. However to my surprise my credit history was affected as they run a hard check on my SSN. When I contacted them asking for explanation, the person said she was not aware of it and said she was sorry, but said there was no way to fix it. This happened on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I even complained to the BOA redressal cell, but never got a response back from them.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

My husband and I are in the final process of refinancing our home. We started this process on the phone with an agent of Bank of America who quoted not only verbally but also in writing a program with a good rate on a 30-year fixed and a credit on closing costs that would require us only to pay {$700.00} out of pocket for the appraisal. It was a " special promotion '' and thus made their offer more competitive than others we were considering at the time not on the rate but on the closing costs. After essentially months of lost paperwork, unanswered emails, clerical errors, etc., days before we are suppose to " close '' they 've come up with some story of now, because of the " need '' to rerun a credit report, the closing costs have gone up and there will be no credit towards those costs. Out of pocket will now be {$700.00} for the appraisal, which we 've already paid, plus an additional {$5000.00}. That is totally unacceptable given we both still have the same income as we did when we started this process two months ago because we still have the same jobs, we have a XXXX of XXXX %, and are still just as qualified now as we were then. I believe this is just some bait and switch tactic which has forced us into a situation where we will now lose {$700.00} and have to potentially pay a higher rate if we go with another institution given rates have recently risen compared to what they were when we started this process. The delay in closing has been completely driven by the ineptitude and unprofessional behavior of the Bank of America employees involved which is documented by the string of emails we have with them over this time period.

Company: AMERICAN HONDA FINANCE CORP (NJ)

I am writing with regard to my recently closed lease of my Honda XXXX ( XX/XX/2014 ) with Honda Financial Services. I was under the impression through my dealer that excess milaege would either be waived or reduced and rolled in to my payments upon return of my vehicle and leasing through Honda. 

This was not the case and I was hit with a bill to be paid up front with a courtesy reduction. I was going back and forth between Honda and my dealer regarding the fact that I wanted to roll it in, but I I was not permitted to so and I was financially unable to pay at the time. 
The matter has since been resolved, but I was hit with a late payment on my credit report which I feel should be cleared.

United Consumer Financial is reporting inconsistent and erroneous information across the credit reporting Bureaus. I have disputed this account and provided them with documentation to notify them that my personal information has been mixed with someone else 's according to the credit bureaus. I notified this company that the debt they're reporting to my credit reports is unknown to me. And I sent several written requests for debt validation and verification. The rep I spoke with from their company admitted my information didn't match the collection account information however this company will still reporting this unverified and unknown account. This company has a different name then mine and a different address but they claim its linked to my social security number. AFTER I DISPUTED THE ACCOUNT ... UNITED CONSUMER FINANCIAL RE-AGED THE ACCOUNT BY CHANGING THE DATE OF LAST ACTIVE ... which determines the debt statue of limitations for credit reporting and this is a violation as well. Please attached screenshots. To date this company has NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) (  A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. Immediately!

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

My loans through Navient were deferred because I went back to get a XXXX XXXX. I graduated on XXXX/XXXX/2016 with my XXXX XXXX. On the Navient website, it showed I did not have any payments due by my typical date of the XXXX of every month. In late XXXX ( after the XXXX ), the Navient website said I was due with a payment on XXXX/XXXX/2016. I paid all the requested amounts on all my student loans, and paid extra on XXXX of my student loans ( so that I could pay that XXXX off early ) - and this all happened on XXXX/XXXX/2016. My account on this date showed everything was paid properly and there were no notices of being late. 

On XXXX/XXXX/2016, I received my first e-mail that I had a payment due on XXXX/XXXX/2016 - except it was more than I expected. I log in to Navient and see notices that all but XXXX of my student loans was past due, and the past due amounts were past due for the exact amounts I paid on XXXX/XXXX/2016 for the payment due XXXX/XXXX/2016. I called customer service to get it corrected, but unbeknownst to me, they corrected by taking the amount I overpaid to XXXX loan and split it up amongst the ones that were overdue ( thereby reducing the overpayment intended to go to that XXXX loan ). 

Later in the day, I did not understand what they did, nor did I receive any notification over the phone or through e-mail about this matter, so I called them back. After sitting for a grueling 1.5 hours on the phone and asking to speak to a manager, I came to understand that since I graduated on XXXX/XXXX/2016, they backdated a payment due on XXXX/XXXX/2016, hence my original payment made on XXXX/XXXX/2016 for the XXXX/XXXX/2016 due date was retroactively applied to a payment that was backdated due XXXX/XXXX/2016. After asking how they can backdate a due payment over a month later, I was told it does n't matter because I was assessed no late fees and my account was up-to-date. At this point I hung up because further conversation was as pointless as watching paint dry. 

At no point did Navient notify me through e-mail or mailing that I had a payment due on XXXX/XXXX/2016. And at no point did Navient notify me that they were going to backdate a payment due on XXXX/XXXX/2016 - both e-mails and their website listing of messages prove they made no attempt in notifying me. 

If I had not overpaid that XXXX loan and had it split up to cover this ghost due payment, I would have been listed as being late and charged fees. I do not feel like I can be the only XXXX this has happened to, because in my talks with customer service, it is evident there is gross mismanagement - especially when my questions about how they can do this went unanswered and I was told it does n't matter because the account was up-to-date.

Company: MOHELA (NY)

My eligible payments under the PSLF special waiver on MOHELA are incomplete. The following periods are missing : XXXXXXXX  ( 3 months ) XXXXXXXX  ( 7 months ) XXXXXXXX  ( 6 months ) I have already submitted employer certification for these 16 months, however, they are still not reflected as qualifying payments. MOHELA has already processed these forms and applied them to my account for the other periods that are covered. 

These periods should be eligible as I was participating in a Perkins loan cancellation program based on my " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' service as detailed at https : //studentaid.gov/XXXX. These loans are part of my consolidation loan. The other periods of deferment under this program ( an additional 32 months ) are already showing up as eligible payments. 

I am requesting that these 16 months be added to my eligible payment list and I be given credit for the employment certification that I have already submitted. This should increase my qualifying payments from 105 to 121 and make me eligible for forgiveness.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

I have tried unsuccessfully with Bank Of America ( BA ) to resolve this issue. 

I must have been online in my BA account ( I have BA checking and a credit card ) on XX/XX/2016. I was paying bills. I noticed that my BA credit card showed my minimum payment due for XX/XX/2016. I went ahead and set up a transfer from my checking account of more than enough to cover the minimum payment. MY BA checking account shows that money coming out on XX/XX/XXXX. My BA credit card statement shows that money being credited on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I was paying bills on the night of XX/XX/XXXX. I noticed my BA credit card was still showing the minimum payment due on XX/XX/XXXX. I called the number on my credit card and talked to a reprehensive at BA. She told me that she saw what happened and did not understand why it was not showing the payment due being paid. She noted my file. 

I was on my PC paying bills again on XX/XX/XXXX and decided to pay an additional payment, because I had charged more than I wanted to so far that month. When I got back on after XX/XX/XXXX, around XX/XX/XXXX, my BA account showed my account as past due. 

BA credit card is saying since I set up the transaction on XX/XX/XXXX, It was applied to my previous statement! How can that be when it shows coming out and going in on XX/XX/XXXX? BA has a XXXX system. 

I have called BA, sent a letter to BA credit card dept. and went into the local branch. All I get out of BA is tough luck that is our system and it ca n't be fixed. They will supposedly waive the late fee, but I have no idea how this will affect my credit. They want me to pay an additional payment. Is this any way to run a major bank?
