Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Rent Recovery Solutions (MN)

Im an XXXX  military member currently, have been working hard for years and consider myself a very responsible and successful young man. Ive been building my credit, paying taxes and our bills, taking care of my mom and siblings, and trying to fulfill our long family dream of owning a house. Sad to say, my dreams were shattered after I recently applied for a mortgage loan and found out that my credit score is crushed and owe an almost {$12000.00} bill to a rental unit that know nothing about. Saddest story is finding out that my Dad and uncle were the ones that did this to me, they had all my information including the SS number. Havent had any connection with both for a very long time, even doubt they are in the country still, but my family and I are though and have to live being stuck with this unfair and outrageous bill. Bottom line of my story, I am a big fraud victim that needs advice, fair treatment, and help with this matter. Your help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

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

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MI)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I ordered my Annual Credit Reports from the three Credit Reporting Agencies. For as long as there have been Free Annual Credit Reporting Legislation, Equifax continually refuses to send my Annual Credit Report. Year after year I must file a complaint with C.F.P.B. in order to force Equifax to mail my credit report. My last report dated XX/XX/XXXX is well past the XXXX year qualification to request my XXXX credit report. Furthermore, Equifax continues to mail, at the same time as my Annual Credit Report, a change of address letter. The letter always states that my address has changed within the past sixty days. My has not changed in over twenty two years!

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc. (AZ)

My student loans were transferred from Great Lakes to Nelnet this year. I had applied for the SAVE plan on XX/XX/2023. The federal student aid website states the application was reviewed on XX/XX/2023 by Nelnet and processed on XX/XX/2023. Through the SAVE plan, the monthly payment amount stated to me is {$72.00} on my application on the federal student aid website. My Nelnet account reflects a monthly payment of {$270.00} and does not reflect my repayment plan as the SAVE plan, but just a standard income driven payment plan. 

I tried to call Nelnet on XX/XX/2023 to clear this up and see why my account is not reflecting accurately. I sat on hold for XXXX hours and was never able to connect with someone. 

Their website constantly states they are experiencing larger than normal call volumes and long wait times. This company was not prepared to take on this volume of work and does not have the staff to do so. Considering my repayment date is right around the corner, I need to get this cleared up, like many other borrowers who are preparing. 

I've tried utilizing the Nelnet FAQ page to see if maybe the problem was listed but could not find any such resource.

Issue: Lost or stolen check — 
Company: PNC Bank N.A. (PA)

On Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX I withdrew {$14000.00} in the form of a cashier 's check for the purpose of paying a deposit for my wedding venue with the intended recipient being the owner said venue ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I placed the check in a sealed envelope in a public USPS mailbox near my house in XXXX on the corner of XXXX and XXXX XXXX on Sunday, XX/XX/XXXX ( the next day ). I was informed about a week later that the check never made it to the intended recipient, and after contacting PNC, learned that it had been fraudulently cashed or deposited by XXXX XXXX  on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX with the recipient as " XXXX XXXX ''. It was concluded that it had been stolen from the public mailbox and forged with a new recipient name. 

I had a case opened by PNC 's fraud department and was assigned a case worker : Case worker : XXXX XXXX Case number : XXXX Reference number : XXXX Dispute number : XXXX We were instructed to sign an affidavit with the receipt from the cashier 's check attached, which we signed and mailed on XX/XX/XXXX. We were assured that we'd get our money back, and informed that typical turnaround for cases like this was up to 120 days. I reached out several times over the next few months with no meaningful update. I filed a complaint against PNC with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and promptly received an update in early XXXX that PNC had contacted XXXX XXXX to confirm the fraudulent activity, to which they had heard no response. 

In the 5 months since this update, we have reached back out to PNC at least 5 times to learn that there had still been no response from XXXX XXXX  to their request for confirmation of fraud. I have tried to contact XXXX  's fraud department, but was unable to get very far without a contact number or case worker. We were told by a representative at XXXX 's fraud department that it is incredibly unusual for a case like this to take this long. 

I have written to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to reopen the case against PNC and to file a new complaint against XXXX. I contacted PNC again and learned today ( XX/XX/XXXX ), that they plan to reach out to XXXX  once again. It has now been 1 year since this unfortunate event, and there has been no resolution.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (MD)

We have a cash back credit card with Citibank. We generally pay our balance off every month, so Citibank is not making a lot of money in interest payment from us. Lately, the company has been repeatedly putting temporary freezes on our cards so that we can't use them while they " verify '' that there haven't been any fraudulent purchases. They have done this multiple times this month, to both my husband and me. In the latest round, I called to get a freeze lifted, but they decided they couldn't verify my identity on the phone and would have to send me a letter, and that I would be unable to use the card for 5-7 days while I waited for the letter. The letter never came, so I called them and they said they would re-send the letter, and I would have to wait another 5-7 business days. At this point, I've been unable to use my card for weeks. I believe that Citibank is harassing us by making it impossible to use the card, in hopes that we will close the account, because they are no longer happy with the deal they made in signing us up. Is this legal? I am having no luck getting my card unfrozen.
