The account was opened in XXXX and was charged off in XXXX. XXXX internal investigations were led for my fraud application and they confirmed that they used public records to confirm my information on the application is correct when they had the wrong phone number and email. The phone number they claim they found on public records is not my phone number and is not the same email I use and still they denied my fraud application and deemed it invalid. 
They claim that I made a payment in XXXX but I never called or made a payment. 
I never opened the account or used the account.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (VA)

My complaint does n't really fit your categories. My credit score is high but in my opinion it should be the very top number. My concern is how the credit agencies decide on my credit score. I have never been in too much debt, have always paid any and all bills on time and I am rarely in debt for anything. Because I do not have a credit balance on which I must make payments ( which I certainly have in the past ), points are deducted. Because I have applied to various things ( in the most recent years ) for preapproval for a home loan and my credit is checked, points are deducted. I do not understand why I am penalized on my score because 1 ) I have no debt and 2 ) someone or some entity has checked my credit score. Why am I not at the highest possible rating? I 'm penalized if I have debt and penalized if I do n't have debt. Something is wrong with this system.

Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA (TX)

My wife and I had a lease w/ Hyundai Motor company. After the lease was at term, we turned the vehicle into the dealership we purchased it from. Shortly after, the dealership contacted us and said that they had decided to purchase the vehicle for the amount left owing and we should not be due any further charges. We then received a bill XXXX XXXX for {$400.00} for disposal of the vehicle. I called and asked their Lease End dept. to ask what the charge was for and they said its just part of the contract and if I did n't pay it, they would charge it off and put it on my credit report. Im going to pay the bill but I think Hyundai is charging customers for something they are not incurring any costs for. How many other XXXX customers are being charged for the same thing? I would like for someone to look into this because i dont think its fair and I would like my money back without my credit being affected.

Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (IL)

I fulfilled my one year membership requirement at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, IL in XXXX, 2016. The next month, my credit card on file expired so they were not able to continue billing me. I was contacted by the spa and returned their call to let them know I wanted to freeze my account as my husband had been out of work on medical leave since the beginning of XXXX. I continued to get a few phone calls and statements mailed every few days indicating I needed to contact them to pay what was owed. I again contacted them and told them I wanted to freeze my account. They demanded I pay 2 months they said was owed by that time. I refused, stating I had already fulfilled my obligation and had requested the freeze ; at this time, I told the person on the phone ( XXXX, I believe was her name ) that I just wanted to cancel my membership. I was told again there was a balance due but I again refuted the validity of the supposed balance as I had done everything required to settle the situation. I continued to receive statements every few days from the spa, and I ignored them as my husband needed my attention. In XXXX, I received the first collection letter from Transworld Systems , Inc indicating the " debt '' had been placed with them for collection. I responded in 8 days, indicating the debt was not owed by me, and it was not valid. I received a XXXX collection notice today, and am filing a complaint. The communication received today also indicated the balance had increased from the initial amount of {$170.00} to today where it is {$230.00}. 

I indicated in my first letter that I would file a complaint if they continued to contact me and demand payment of the invalid debt, so that is what I am doing.

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

Earlier this year my husband and I refinanced our townhouse and opted for a cash out. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX mailed FedLoan Servicing XXXX checks dated XXXX/XXXX/2016 - XXXX for {$930.00}, the other for {$9500.00}. I logged into my account on XXXX/XXXX/2016 to check the status of the checks and saw that XXXX checks had been posted to my account as of XXXX/XXXX/2016, but that there was a remaining balance owed of {$17.00}, which I paid online and saw I had a {$0.00} balance. I logged in again on XXXX XXXX, 2016 ( the beginning of the new billing cycle ) to see if there was any further amount due, and my account was still at {$0.00}. This past Monday ( XXXX/XXXX/2016 ), I received an email saying I had a past due amount. I called the XXXX number and was told that the bank had sent a stop payment request for the check in the amount of {$9500.00} on XXXX/XXXX/2016 and that the money had been reversed from my account and the check returned to them ( 15 days after I made my last payment on XXXX/XXXX/2016 ). I logged into my account again, and saw the Paperless Inbox. I opened it and saw that there was a letter posted on XXXX/XXXX/2016, saying that there was an error with the payment, it had been reversed and the check returned to the bank. I was NOT previously notified about this letter, and there was nothing to indicate that I had unread documents in the Paperless Inbox. Our title company said that they had not received the check from FedLoan Servicing and requested a stop payment on the check effective XXXX/XXXX/2016. They confirmed that the bank had NOT issued a stop payment request on this check prior to this date. They are issuing a new check in the amount of {$9500.00} and will mail ASAP. Because of this, as of today ( XXXX/XXXX/2016 ) my account has accrued {$340.00} ( compounded daily ) in interest charges. In order to have this interest waived and/or disputed, I was referred by a FedLoan supervisor to the US Dept. of Education. She told me that she would be sending me something in writing for my records, and would send my case to the financial group for review. I 'm not sure if this has happened. I have contacted the US Dept. of Education, the Federal Student Aid Department, and the FSA Ombudsman Office to file a dispute with them ( which I have done ). I was told by someone at the Ombudsman Office that the FedLoan Paperless Inbox has been an issue for other consumers as well. I 'm still in the process of having this matter resolved.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after XXXX days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within XXXX  days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over XXXX  days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I have identified multiple errors that have adversely affected my credit score. These errors are not a true reflection of my credit history, and I believe they may have resulted from clerical mistakes, identity theft, or outdated information. I am requesting that these inaccuracies be promptly investigated and removed to ensure my credit report accurately reflects my financial responsibility. The incorrect information has caused undue harm to my credit score, which can affect my ability to secure credit and other financial opportunities. I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency it requires and make the necessary corrections.
