Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: AES/PHEAA (OK)

So as soon as I XXXX college, I was put into a loan forgiveness program with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had to pay them a fee to get in and {$35.00} a month. Apparently they were filing my income driven repair for fedloans every year. I had no idea they were filing through Fedloans. The last 3 years they filed, my payment plan was {$0.00}, which is why I didnt have any issues till now. The last year they filed, my payment went from XXXX to {$39.00}. Now I have been paying them {$35.00} a month and they did not notify me that I also had to pay Fedloans {$39.00}. I didnt even have access to my Fedloans account till my credit score dropped {$200.00} points and I XXXX  Fedloans and had to recover my account. If I knew they were just filing with Fedloans, I would have done it my self and used the money I was paying them to pay my student loans. I called fedloans and they told me that I was never in a forgiveness program and that I was being scammed. An employee helped me get out of the scam and had me report the third party company. I was never trying to get out of paying my student loans. I was just a woman that got taken advantage of right after college. Now, during this pandemic, I have lost my job and forced to move out of my home in XXXX. I have made a payment of {$39.00} to show good faith and that I will continue making any payments necessary to get this corrected. I will attach all the payments I have been making that third party company.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

I went to file my taxes and I was told by my consultant that my identity has been stolen because someone had already filed under my social security. I then pulled my credit report to see what all has been opened under my name. There was an outrageous amount of unknown, suspicious items I am familiar with. Please remove these items from my report.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I have a signed legal deferment document from XXXX  for my XXXX and XX/XX/2020 payment. XXXX reported to all three credit companies that I was late for XXXX. 
I contacted the lender directly expecting to resolve this issue. After several attempts that resulted in no answers, ignored phone calls, and a lack of professionalism ; I was told by a representative that while under their system I was " current '' XXXX  would not change the " late payment '' report from my credit. 
I proceeded to start a dispute with all three credit companies. I mailed the deferment document to each, along with my request. 
XXXX  's results corrected the XXXX payment and updated it to " paid-on-time. '' XXXX XXXX  results denied my request and the XXXX payment stayed as " 30-days-past-due. '' Equifax results not only denied my request but it now also shows XXXX AND XXXX as " 30-days-past-due. '' I have spent hours collectively speaking with both the lender and the credit companies ( XXXX, Equifax ). I have a hard time believing that a legal deferment document has not been honored by these entities. The two credit bureaus told me all they could do is take the information provided by the lender as facts. 
XXXX  needs to be held accountable for not only providing different information to each credit bureau but also for not honoring a signed legal document. 
When this company belonged to XXXX I never had an issue. The newly called " XXXX  '' lender does not care that it services military members and is quick to take our hard-earned-money, yet, it will not uphold its standards to the law. 
This is the first time that I asked this company for a deferment as COVID-19 has left a great financial impact on my family. 
This lender evidently does not care about my financial wellbeing whatsoever. 
My next step is to take legal action against this company if this matter is not resolved.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: DISCOVER BANK (IL)

My discover card was lost/stolen in XX/XX/2020 sometime because it was used in my area so I believe it was lost in my area. I reported it to Discover in XX/XX/2020. They claim they tried to notify me by email but I dont access my email a lot. They denied my fraud case because they said previous fraud claim and was used locally and their were returns made on the account also and not usual for someone when they use a lost/stolen card. Said some of the merchants were merchants I used before. I should not be liable for unauthorized charges. If I lost it in my area then someone in the area found it and used it in my area and the returns maybe they wanted to get cash back but could not. As for the other fraud cases, well I am not responsible maybe and sorry if I lost my card before but I am still not liable for unauthorized charges.
