Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CO)

On XX/XX/22, I spoke with personnel from XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion about the potential existence of phony accounts on my consumer file. Since I knew nothing about them or how they got there, I asked them to deactivate the accounts. I was given the go-ahead by all three companies to submit the necessary documentation and finish the FTC report XXXX I sent my letters certified mail on XX/XX/22. Even though the accounts are not mine and have been on my report for more than 30 days after I sent my letters, they were somehow " verified. '' This issue baffles me and makes me angry because it makes it impossible for my family and I to make purchases. I contacted all three businesses once more on XX/XX/22 and inquired as to how they could demonstrate that these accounts belonged to me. They simply said that they couldn't help any more and that I should speak with the creditors directly. When I made an effort to contact each creditor who had been erroneously claiming on the consumer file that they were unaware of me or the accounts, it didn't surprise me. I had no other choice but to turn to the CFPB website, as some of my friends had urged me to do given the circumstances. Since my family and I are trying to submit an application for a house, I genuinely hope that information is useful.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: NCB Management Services Inc. (NV)

This company has attempted to call me during work hours to attempt a debt in which they obtained illegally. It is against the law to buy a person 's information and I also do not have a written contract with them. When I ask them to remove this report from the bureaus, they said " not gon na happen '' The original debt was actually paid off and they sold nothing but the interest of that debt. This turns into predatorial and then also releases me from the original contract. I did not reenter any written contract nor sign any paper work with this company. They are asking to pay them over 5k which wasn't even the balance of the original contract either. Further I did not give any permission for this company to report anything to any credit bureau. They have did this without my acknowledgement. They have not been able to verify anything of this said account.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

Beginning in XXXX of XXXX, I filed several disputes regarding XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX regarding the amount owed and the balance. As well as that they were reporting it twice on my credit report. I also asked for a personal statement to be placed on my account and it was not. 

Transunion indicated that they XXXX XXXX had verified the debt, but did not demonstrate how they verified the accounting ( balance ) to be accurate. Nothing was addressed regarding the duplicate reporting on my credit report by either XXXX XXXX or TransUnion. Some months back I had also filed a dispute regarding it being a duplicate. 

I further supplied them with written correspondence from XXXX XXXX that admitted that they had not provided me with statements and offering me a settlement check. I have requested numerous times to have an accounting but only have been provided data entries that do not demonstrate the reduction in principal and interest. As well as, the balance owed being reported as different amounts at different times to different entities including myself. 

On XX/XX/2022, by certified mail # XXXX I wrote TransUnion as a follow up ; it was delivered XX/XX/2022. 

Under the Act I requested that they remove this inaccurate information and place a statement on my credit report. To date they have done neither.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (VA)

I am writing to dispute the discrepancy in how my credit score has decreased within a 30-day period. My concern at this time is that my credit score has decreased from XXXX to XXXX in less than 30 days. More specifically, XX/XX/XXXX, to XX/XX/XXXX. The reason for my concern is that my credit profile has not changed. My income is {$240000.00}, my credit usage is less than 1 % and I recently paid off an auto loan in XX/XX/XXXX. My student loans are paid on time in which one of my student loans was paid off in full. I have no credit card debt, which leaves me to believe my identification has been compromised. I recently placed a freeze on my credit report from any inquiries. I just learned that someone elses address is listed on my credit report. 

Unless there is a serious miscalculation in the formula used, how can my score continue to decrease if my payment history shows pays on time? It is hard to believe that my score would decrease at this pace with 1-2 credit inquiries. There can be no other explanation for a XXXX loss in my credit score for which I think a full investigation and explanation is warranted. 

Over the past 60 days I have allowed inquires when applying for loans to finance a dental procedure. I believe that the dental offices might have shopped my credit report around allowing my credit to be pulled multiple times which seems to have compromised my credit report and score.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (UT)

Capital One received payment from my XXXX XXXX XXXX account in the amount of {$280.00} ; and {$500.00} on XX/XX/2023. 

I was then informed the payment would not post to my account until XX/XX/2023. I indicated this was unacceptable and had I known, I would have kept my money in my checking account as I needed funds for the holiday weekend. 

When I reached out to capital one to confirm payment/ascertain status- capital one determined I could expedite the waiting period if I stayed on the phone with their fraud representative ( Agent name : XXXX ), while he connected with XXXX to confirm the payment went through. 

40 Minutes later, we have confirmation from my bank XXXX XXXX, that yes I have paid the amount and it has gone through. Despite this, Capital One needed to clear this " internally. '' XXXX then begins the process of placing me on hold a number of times, trying to figure out what is wrong. 

XXXX then told me it had in fact processed ( check the phone logs ) and then doubles back and stated that in fact it hadn't and they simply could not figure out the internal mechanism holding up confirmation. 

He then informs me, though I am at work, If i get disconnected, they will not fund my payment/ make my credit available for another week because they can not " confirm my payment. '' However, if you have been following along, we had confirmed payment, XXXX minutes ago now. 

Despite this nice threat -- I was disconnected and decided I had to continue working my full time job. 
I called back two more times, to which capital one was aware of the situation but had no further substantive solutions. I ended the call, cordially. 

fast forward to XXXX. I received a letter from capital one telling me I have violated their terms of use, and they have closed my account. 

This badgering from a credit card company is beyond unacceptable. Not only is this company inept, they treat customers like XXXX. There inability to confirm payment processes for personal banking is negligent. Furthermore, tying up an individual 's funds because of the companies own ineptitude is wilfully negligent. 

I have noticed activity on my credit report as well. This company is predatory. 
If no accountability is taken here, I will file an actual lawsuit against this company. I look to the CFPB to intervene and protect consumer rights.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted complaint XXXX stating that Nelnet provided email correspondence stating that borrowers would be automatically switched to electronic mail ONLY, unless they opted out by XX/XX/XXXX. The link Nelnet provided only allowed for borrowers to OPT IN to electronic mail. 

Nelnet responded on XX/XX/XXXX. Among their various misstatements and refusals to remedy this issue, Nelnet stated The opt-out option is not available until XX/XX/XXXX, as you are not currently enrolled. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, you can opt out of XXXX directly on your XXXX account. 

Nevertheless, my case was closed by the CFPB. My follow up comments were not transmitted to Nelnet. And Nelnets wrong-doing continued unabated. 

My calls to ask to stay on POSTAL MAIL correspondence were disconnected or met with You mean you want to opt in to email only? Because thats all we can do On XXXX, I logged onto my Nelnet account so I could OPT IN to postal mail, andI learned that Nelnet does not offer such an option. Their only option allows me to opt-in to electronic mail. 


Nelnet only notified borrowers of this change using email which disenfranchises borrowers with limited access to electronic mail. Nelnet refuses to set up the infrastructure for users to opt out of this change. Nelnet has failed in its notice requirements, and committed fraud against its borrowers.
