Product: Debt collection — Private student loan debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: SLM CORPORATION (MO)

Sallie Mae. 
3 promissory loans included in my XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX they sent a letter indicating a party on the loan has filed for bankruptcy an automatic stay you will not receive correspondence, including billing statements, for the duration of the bankruptcy case and online access will be unavailable. In addition, any pending loan disbursement or future schedule payments have been cancelled. 
They have cancelled receipts of future payments for 55 months. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, they received notification of discharge from bankruptcy. No objection was submitted fully aware no payments have been received. These are promissory notes -unsecured loans. They began to send letters for payment and I explain per their letters if you have been in bankruptcy let them know, I did. But they already knew that. I am also going through a divorce. I did not receive any educational benefit from the loans, they were past statute for collection. They state they are defined by IRS statue, I explained 2 people can not claim the same exemption., the borrower or the co- signer. Both did not get the same benefit. They subsequently send letters stating they will be charged off, and 1099 C, Cancellation of debt will be issued..

By sending a 1099c this now become income, and not a debt. When this becomes taxable income it is not longer a debt. you can not collect on income. This has to be removed from my credit report. they cant have it both ways. In addition, when I contacted the credit bureau because they listed it as a charge off instead of bankruptcy the changed the dates as write of XXXX to keep on credit record till XXXX. 
It should be removed effective immediately for the deceptive practices on all three of my credit reports and the joint borrowers. 
these are abusive and deceptive practices i

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: NATIONS RELIABLE LENDING LLC (TX)

I believe I am a victim of Predatory Lending. Below is a detailed account : 1. My interest rate is 6 % for a Conventional Loan.

2. There are 8 excessive hard credit inquiries on my credit report from the same lender with a few of them occurring on the same dates. Dates are : XX/XX/XXXX ( 3 times ), XX/XX/XXXX ( 3 times ) and the last one was XX/XX/XXXX ( 2 times ). 
3. My Mortgage payment is unaffordable- {$1500.00} I feel that I have been taken advantage of. My file was submitted to underwriting on XX/XX/XXXX and I received conditional approval on XX/XX/XXXX via email. I electronically signed the initial closing disclosure on XX/XX/XXXX and the disclosure stated my expected closing date was to be XX/XX/XXXX. However, I never closed on the loan. I called the branch and wasnt able to get a firm answer as to why. On the morning of XX/XX/XXXX, I went to the branch and spoke with the loan officer and branch manager on site. I was told my status for the loan was now refer with caution. Furthermore, when I met with the loan officer and branch manager, both  gentlemen appeared to be under the influence. There was an odor of XXXX and it came from the manager who was sitting directly to my left. As I expressed my concerns, the loan officer sitting across from me at the table was slouched down in his chair and his eyes were red. After asking a few questions, further investigation and reviewing my most recent credit report, I saw that the mortgage company put 8 hard credit inquiries on my credit file since XX/XX/XXXX. 

If needed, I have a witness that is willing to write a statement regarding the details above.

Recently I checked my credit report and noticed multiple billing errors under 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) billing error ( 4 ) The creditors failure to reflect properly on a statement a payment made by the obligor or a credit issued to the obligor.

( 5 ) A computation error or similar error of an accounting nature of the creditor on a statement. 

As i know the creditor didnt notify me 21 days before with a statement so there should be no late payments on this accounts. I demand to see hard solid proof from the creditor bank account that I did'nt pay and was marked late because this clearly a billing error. 

You Violated the United States Code Law ( TILA 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) billing error ).

Damaging my character and Ive tried numerous of times to get the matters escalated and resolved with them directly.

Im depressed and XXXX after dealing with inaccurate information on my credit reports. This is defamation of my character and detrimental to my health.

Issue: Problem with a purchase or transfer — Card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase or transfer
Company: U.S. BANCORP (CO)

I had a XXXX XXXX rewards card issued from US Bank. Back at the end of XXXX, around the XXXX to about XX/XX/XXXX an old roommate had stolen my card number and gained access into an online banking for the card. He then made numerous transfers to other prepaid cards. The money was supposed to be for savings and it had about {$4900.00} on it. The card wasnt being used by me so I didnt notice the money was gone. I randomly one night wanted to check the balance and wasnt able to log in to my online banking so I called customer service at that point I learned my account was deactivated and the money had been stolen. I immediately notified law enforcement and through another unrelated incident, they were able to charge my old roommate with criminal charges. I fought for two weeks with customer service to even be allowed to file a dispute since the card was deactivated. I was finally allowed to and I sent them all the court documents and even a notarized statement from the defendant admitting to the crime. They responded the dispute was not in my favor. I then got a signed letter from the district attorney and with that they reopened the dispute. They had 90 days to resolve it. I called in and emailed their Financial Intelligence Unit at least every day for 4 months never had a answer I was always told that they escalated it and I would receive a response in 72 business hours, I recorded phone calls with them where they were caught in lies. They did not resolve it in 90 days its was almost 120 days and even with all the court paperwork and someone in jail for the crime they still said the dispute was not in my favor and I can not reopen the dispute. One of the transfers off my card they suspected was fraudulent and its froze on another account so they suspected fraud enough that they froze that transaction but yet come back and say they believe I authorized it. Both defendants have been released from jail by lawyer has contacted them and they personally have called customer service and told them everything and they still wont do anything or release the money they froze on a card. I have verified every single thing they wish me to verify and still will not help me and Im out {$4900.00} as of now.
