Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (DE)

About one year ago my mortgage company increased my payment by about {$280.00}. I was paying {$610.00} and have been paying {$890.00}. They claimed that my property taxes had increased and that was the reason for the payment increase. I went down to the tax accessor 's office and they said that my taxes had not increased, in addition my taxes are reduced even further because I am XXXX so I receive a tax reduction from the county which I complete that paperwork every year. In addition, my homeowners insurance had not increased, therefore my mortgage payment should not have increased. What they are doing is illegal and violates RESPA. They have failed to resolve this matter or give me a reasonable explanation why they are continuing to charge me this increased erroneous amount.

This is my last and final attempt to have this issue resolved before seeking legal action against the credit reporting agencies and this company. I have challenged the accuracy, compliance and reportability of these listings to no avail, and my rights have been violated. XXXX XXXXWALMART has been reporting incorrect information on my credit reports. I have sent in several disputes to have this incorrect information deleted from my credit report. 

On XX/XX/2018, I mailed a certified dispute letter to XXXX XXXX/WALMART, which was received by the company on XX/XX/2018. On XX/XX/2018, XXXX XXXXWALMART sent me a letter simply indicating that it terminate collection, which was received on XX/XX/2018. 

On XX/XX/2018, I mailed a follow-up certified dispute letter requesting description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information that was sent to me. I also requested the name, address, and telephone number of each person who personally verified this alleged account, so that I could inquire about how they verified without providing any proof. This follow-up certified letter was received by the company on XX/XX/2018. 

On XX/XX/2018, exactly 31 days after the receipt of the certified dispute letter was received by the company, I pulled my credit reports again, only to reveal that XXXX XXXX/WALMART had violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies [ 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ] and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Section 807 ( 8 ) by not properly providing the credit bureaus with proper notice within the required 30-day timeframe. 

Therefore, on XX/XX/2018, I sent a certified dispute letter alerting the company of such violation, which was received by the company on XX/XX/2018. As of today, XX/XX/2018, XXXX XXXX/WALMART has failed to comply with the laws of the FTC and the FCRA, and they are still reporting inaccurate, incomplete, unverifiable information to the credit bureaus, and they stand in noncompliance with the reportability of these listings thus violating my consumer rights. These violations are damaging my character and to my credit score.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (FL)

I have reached out to navient 2 different times. Navient continues to try to collect payments for a school I didnt attend. In XXXX I attended Florida XXXX University that abruptly closed down due to bad business practices and accredidation issues. After closing it reopened under a new name called XXXX University and even though the same company XXXX colleges was over the new named school they still refused to except the credits from the prior school they shut down. I was unable to complete school because it shut down and no other school would transfer the credits over. I then started recieving bills from Navient trying to collect for XXXX University. I Explained that I never attended XXXX and that I only attended Florida XXXX University and that due to that school closing down while I was attending it qualified for loan forgiveness and that XXXX XXXX Florida campus on XXXX XXXX had shut down as well and qualified for loan forgiveness. I sent them my transcript that only shows Florida XXXX University but they continue to tell me I went to XXXX and that the schools code remained the same. Even if the school code remained the same the school still shut down. I then showed them on the federal website where everest is on the list for closed schools but they continue to say XXXX is open since at some point they opened another campus outside of XXXX in orange park, Fl on XXXX XXXX but even that location closed down and did n't even offer he same courses. I even asked them to show me proof of attending this school signatures or paperwork and to just simply validate this debt as law requires but they claim the records are stored away. Ive spoken to mangers and faxed papers and now they wont even return my calls, I finally spoke with someone name XXXX in XXXX XXXX and she emailed me a signed form that still said Florida metropolitan university. Navient has systematically and illegally failed me at every stage of repayment and has created obstacles so that I cant resolve this problem. They continue to provide me bad information. I want this removed off all three of my credit reports. While reading my most recent credit report it shows 3 seperate loans. One for from XXXX XXXX for {$610.00}, XXXX XXXX for {$2100.00} and XXXX XXXX for {$130.00}. I want all three of these loans deleted from my credit file with all 3 bureus.

I have received a second debt collection letter from a second collection agency for an outstanding bill from XXXX. I have never had any service or product from XXXX, and XXXX has never provided service in my state of residence. The latest collection letter from Afni , Inc. is dated XX/XX/2018 for an unpaid bill of {$850.00}, offering a settlement amount of {$550.00}, and also threatening to report this debt to credit bureaus, if not paid in full. I have called Afni, today XX/XX/2018 to inform them that I do not owe money to XXXX, and have never had any type of interaction or service with this company. In speaking with a representative, I was told that the original bill was incurred at an address in Florida, a state of which I have never resided or visited. My main concern is that this is the second collection letter, which I have received for a bill with XXXX, and wanting for these letters to cease. I am a senior citizen, and believe that I am being targeted with these types of letters demanding money, and with threats of having my information sent to credit bureau agencies, which will further ruin my credit. 
I plan on sending a letter to XXXX to insist that, they discontinue using my name and current addresses as a tool to collect unpaid debts.
