" After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that there was still late payment on my consumer report which have never been late because the creditor failed to provide any proof or evidence so this needs to be corrected immediately to paid as agreed and never late. This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRA 's definitions, rules of construction section. It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the account SHALL be Corrected. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency name liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for willful non-compliance. Please CORRECT this item from my consumer report! According to15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports The Law clearly states : ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I clearly did not give your agency written authorization or written instructions to report this information. Your agency is conspiring with these creditors against me in committing aggravated identity theft and I have sustained defamation of my character, just to name a couple damages should this matter escalate to court. 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures- ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall -- i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

I was offered a settlement with XXXX who uses GLOBAL CREDIT COLLECTION CORP. I made all my payments that were required on the account. I called the agent and told them that the checking account was closed and not to send any future automatic payments.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Having problems with customer service
Company: NEW YORK STATE HIGHER EDUCATION SERVICES CORPORATION (HESC)— (NY)

It took almost 10 years to be able to enter the rehabilitation program since NYS Higher Education Services would not agree to a reasonable monthly " good faith '' payment in addition to the 15 % of my salary they were already garnishing even after the rule were changed a couple of years ago. They would also periodically sell my loan to other companies such as XXXX who also would n't offer a reasonable payment. When I offered a affordable figure they denied it again even after providing my financials AGAIN so I threatened legal action as it benefits them to keep a loan in garnishment. They make THOUSANDS in fees and not one penny is paid toward the principal. I have been paying this loan for 20 years ... yes 20 years and most of what I have paid has not been applied to the garnishment. ( The loan is now MUCH MORE than it was when it began 20 yrs ago ) This finally made them agree to the monthly amount I suggested and they advised in 5 months of payments they would end the garnishment. So 5 payments were made and on XX/XX/XXXX I was told papers would be sent to my employer advising them to stop the garnishment. 4 phone calls,3 customer service people and a supervisor and it took 6 weeks to actually get that letter faxed. The letter was then dated on the day it was sent ( XX/XX/XXXX ) instead of dated XX/XX/XXXX like it should have been. The garnishment was never stopped and now I ca n't get an answer to when they will repay the {$800.00} or so dollars that was garnished and should n't have been. They are not in compliance with the program. NYS HESC is possibly the worst lender to deal with. I 'm not sure how any of this is legal and why the government allows students to be XXXX this way. This loan will indeed outlive me. I am currently waiting to see exactly how long the reimbursement will take. It 's a bad joke really ... how many NYS HESC employees does it take to fax a letter??? ... answer:4. Yes, 4 people needed to be involved in printing and faxing a letter. 
We are expected to jump through all their hoops and comply with the program or we get kicked out and continue to live with decimated credit scores while they sit back and collect fees.

I greatly value the relationship I have with the following creditors and have consistently made on-time payments forsuch a long time.This isolated incident does not reflect my overall commitment to honoring my financial obligations, and I have since taken steps to ensure this will not happen again. 

Given my otherwise positive payment history, I kindly request that you consider removing this late payment from my credit report as a goodwill gesture. I believe this adjustment would better reflect my responsible credit behavior and would help improve my credit standing.

My claim for {$11000.00} ( claim number : XXXX ) was denied again. But this time, I finally feel like an investigation is really being done. I finally received ATM footage and can see who was stealing my money. It seems to be the same female in every photo and before I was skeptical that it may have been someone I knew but Ive never seen that female in my life. Shes driving the same car in every photo and I dont even have a car. I have XXXX and am afraid of getting behind the wheel. I take XXXX and XXXX everywhere I go if one of my family members are unable to drive me. I also resubmitted a clear picture of my ID as the representative asked me to do last month so that they could investigate further. And I know that we can tell that its fraud now because I look nothing like the girl at the ATM. Thank you for taking the time to investigate.

On numerous occasions, I have expressed to Equifax of their violations of 1681b. Their unsound practices have placed my family and I at risk of unsafe transactions. Equifax does not accurately represent the people if they are constantly furnishing inaccurate information without proof. Furthermore, I NEVER gave Equifax my wet ink, written instructions to furnish any information to my credit file which is a MAJOR violation of my federally protected rights. I plan to take the necessary action for each violation at {$1000.00} each. If this is not fixed in the next 30 days, I will file a suit and will follow up with an Invoice for Each Violation.
