Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (WI)

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 these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

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

This is regarding a request to change plans from IBR to PAYE that I made in XXXX. On XX/XX/18, I asked for my loan to be recalculated to a different IDR plan. I had an income change, and also hoped hoped to go from an IBR to either a PAYE or REPAYE plan. I specifically DID NOT check the box stating that I wanted to go into forbearance because I do not want my interest to capitalize. I wrote a letter along with the application clearly stating that I did not want to go into forbearance, so there would be no confusion. The paperwork states that one month of a standard payment rate would be necessary, but it does not state that forbearance is required. I received a letter on XX/XX/2018 stating that my loans were placed in forbearance and that I must pay a reduced standard repayment for one month, which is listed as XXXX. 

I filed a complaint with CFPB on XX/XX/18, and followed up with an email to XXXX on XX/XX/18, and then a phone call on XX/XX/18. I was told that my request would be processed in 7-10 business days. I received a response here on XX/XX/18, that XXXX was working on my request, as I had called them, and my request had been put in motion. I also received a response from XXXX to the email, which was similar, in that they said I had contacted the company and the request was in motion. I called on XXXX and spoke with employee XXXX to see if anything had been done, and the representative told me it had not yet been 10 business days and she didn't know how my request would be handled. 

Everyone I have spoken with has told me I am not in forbearance, but I am, and I did not request to be. My request to the company on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX to the company is for my account to be restored to where it was before I requested the switch. That includes reversal of the interest that capitalized. I acknowledge that I overlooked a sentence on page 8 of the form that says when you leave a plan that interest is capitalized. I overlooked it because it is not on the signature form, and now I have been made aware. There have been multiple mistakes on my account in the past, and I just did not feel like I would get neutral advice. 

It is beyond the 10 days, and there has been no restoration of my account, and the account does not reflect that a decision has been made.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MD)

This account was closed by the creditor on XX/XX/XXXX. My total balance due by XX/XX/XXXX was {$520.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid the balance in full, which left my account at {$0.00}. After the account was paid in full, XXXX proceeded to apply interest charges and late fees. In XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX reported that the account was late to the credit bureaus. I contacted XXXX to inquire about the charges, which were reversed and corrected due to the account being paid in full. However, no changes were made to the credit bureaus. I completed a dispute with all 3 bureaus in XXXX, which all were corrected with the exception of XXXX, which not only reported I was late in XXXX but reported I was also late in XXXX. I contacted XXXX on XXXX and learned that my account had a credit for overpayment in the amount of {$2.00}. I was told I must email the credit reporting department with the error. I emailed the credit reporting department to be advised a refund was being sent, but a " good will adjustment '' could not be made on my account. Please refer to CFB case XXXX, stating the company contacted the credit bureau to remove the delinquency. However, report was made on XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX with the payment status updated to 30 days past due and on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to Equifax. There should be no reporting after XX/XX/XXXX. The company keeps stating they are doing a courtesy adjustment when the error was on their end. I paid the full balance well before the due date.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was reviewing my credit reports. XXXX, Equifax and XXXX. 

I noticed that on XX/XX/XXXX there was a hard inquiry on my credit reports from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. I knew that I did not have nor did I attempt to obtain any creditcard from XXXX. 

I called XXXX at XXXX and spoke to them two times which is their fraud department. The fraud department checked my concern about someone applying for credit against my name, first and last name, date of birth, social security number and each time could not find any attempt to obtain credit with that information or any active account. 

I explained to them that the acocunt was listed on my credit reports, experian, equifax and transunion XX/XX/XXXX. The Fraud department stated they can't report to have it removed from my credit report because they do not show any active account or any attempt that I have even tried to apply for credit via my social security number, date of birth, first name last name, etc. 

I then called the credit reporting agency equifax who states that ikea need to tell them to remove it they just can't remove something. I explained to them what XXXX services said then the guy told me I have to file an FTC report so they can remove it from my credit report. 

I just want all of my credit reports updated to have this hard inquiry removed asap! ~
