The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX website refused twice to deliver my credit reports. I was told to contact the individual companies for my reports. All 3 companies have flat out refused to provide me my reports. This in spite of the fact that I am looking for employment, and a new apartment. So I am absolutely eligible to receive my reports from all 3 companies for 3 separate reasons. I was due and eligible for my yearly free reports. I am also looking for a new job and apartment. Further more ; last year I disputed some entries on my credit report with all 3 companies. Their ideas about what an investigation is was to call the original people who erroneously reported on me and simply ask them if these were my debts. I demanded to see my signature or copies of my ID for anything being reported. They refused again. This is just not right. Too often in this country the little man gets stepped on and beaten up by corporations and organizations who do not even follow the laws. If rule of law is ignored by them why do I have to follow it?

I have 3 PayPal loans. One of them ( it turns out ) is with Synchrony Bank. I've had challenges with PayPal in general ... and they all seem to have to do with my e-mail address. I've been called repeatedly about this Synchrony Bank account ... and I've explained on numerous occasions that I can not get into my account. They want me just to pay ( without seeing an invoice ) ... I'm unwilling to do this. There are so many things that have occurred that are just so scam-like. You can not reach a supervisor ( customer " service '' personnel refuse to transfer you ). This bank has an impressive Board of Directors, but so did XXXX! Honestly, I believe this is a total scam. I can't get the information from them. Can't escalate this ... what is a consumer to do??? I'm happy to pay my debts ... just want access to the account on which I'm paying.

Company: Nelnet, Inc. (GA)

I am writing to formally dispute a late payment that is still being reported on my credit report for my student loan account. The late payment in question occurred over 5 years ago, and I believe it is necessary to address its reporting status due to recent developments regarding student loan debt. 

To provide context, I want to highlight that the student loan account in question has been deferred and I have never had any other late payments. Despite the deferred status, the credit report continues to reflect the late payment from over 5 years ago. However, I want to bring to your attention that there are ongoing discussions and movements in the United States government to address the issue of student loan debt and potentially remove it from individuals ' credit reports. There has already been motion for the debt be removed from government workers. 

The inclusion of this late payment from several years ago significantly impacts my credit history and may limit my financial opportunities. It is crucial to consider the evolving landscape surrounding student loan debt and the potential implications it may have on the reporting of such information.

In light of these circumstances, I kindly request your assistance in investigating this matter thoroughly and reassessing the reporting of the late payment on my credit report. I believe it is unjust to continue reporting this late payment, given the passage of time and the potential changes that XXXX be implemented regarding student loan debt reporting. 

Please take into account the following points : The late payment in question occurred over 5 years ago, and since then, I have diligently worked to improve my credit history and maintain a responsible payment record. 
The account is currently deferred, as indicated by the documentation I have provided, and is not in an active repayment status. 
The current environment surrounding student loan debt calls for a reevaluation of reporting practices, as there is growing momentum to address the burden of student loans and potentially remove them from credit reports. 
I kindly request that you review this matter with consideration for the points mentioned above. I believe it is essential to rectify the reporting of this late payment, especially in light of the potential changes to student loan debt reporting that are being discussed. 

Please provide me with a written confirmation once the investigation is complete, and the necessary corrections have been made to my credit report. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. 

Should you require any further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at XXXX or XXXX. I am committed to resolving this dispute and ensuring the accuracy of my credit profile.
