When I reviewed my credit report, I discovered that some of the information was erroneous.

Upon checking my credit report through XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed a fraudulent student loan account had been opened, with a balance of {$1600.00}, and a current balance of {$180.00}. This action dropped my credit score XXXX points! I did not generate this action and did not authorize this activity. This account is a result of identity theft. I filed a local police report with the XXXX Police Dept. I have filed a dispute with XXXX, Experian and XXXX and filed a theft/fraud report with the US Dept . of Education where the fraudulent loan was made and with the FTC Identity Theft group. 

Resulting responses by XXXX XXXX and the three credit reporting agencies were that the loan was verified as accurate, based on my social security number. This was the very thing I was disputing ; the someone used my SS # fraudulently! 

Further investigation by the U.S. Department of Education 's office of Federal Student Aid revealed the fraudulent activity was not a student loan, but a Pell Grant and was issued through, first by XXXX XXXX, and later transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
Their office has confirmed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid ( FAFSA ) for the XXXX award years was applied for in my name, which required the school to award a maximum eligibility in aid funds. 
{$6300.00} in Federal Pell Grant Program funds were awarded to the account for the XXXX XXXX award year, however, only {$1600.00} was disbursed due to an enrollment change from full time to less than 3/4 time, which reduced the Pell Grant eligibility, therefore, {$180.00} of the Pell Grant was a reported as an overpayment. The reported overpayment of {$180.00} is still outstanding. If I allege I am the victim of identity theft and did not attend this school, or complete a FAFSA application, I needed to contact the school directly for assistance. 
I notified fraudulent loan claims with XXXX XXXX XXXX, the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the office of the Federal Dept. of Education Ombudsman and the Department of Education Debt Management & Collections. Each entity kept sending me to a previous entity. I am getting the runaround. It seems simple. If someone would check the registrar 's or attendance office and produce the photo ID card and signature card of this account, it will be clear that this Pell Grant was obtained fraudulently in my name.

I requested a payoff letter from the previous lender on my car loan, which I sent to the current XXXX XXXX that I refinanced the loan through. The XXXX XXXX then using the payoff letter paid off the loan, in addition I had made an extra payment XXXX months prior to them paying off the loan. 

The previous lender " Upstart XXXX '' insists that I still owe them a payment and now have added yet another payment. My new XXXX XXXX " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' in XXXX Oregon needs the title which Upstart XXXX is refusing to give them. I have all of the documentation and emails to prove my case. 

I am a member of XXXX XXXX here in Washington XXXX, I contacted them about this issue, they wrote a letter to " Upstart XXXX '' we have had no response. 

Can you help resolve this matter? Or give me some type of suggestion as to what I can do? 

Thanks in advance, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Lease
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Excess mileage, damage, or wear fees, or other problem after the lease is finished
Company: General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (MI)

I was divorced in XX/XX/XXXX. In the Settlement Agreement, my ex-wife and I each received certain assets and their related liabilities. One of the assets my wife received was a XXXX XXXX XXXX that was being leased from GM Financial Leasing ( GM ). She assumed the responsibility for the lease, and made the payments following the divorce. She ended up turning the car in early because she had a lot of miles on it, and there were charges related to the early termination that she apparently didnt know about. She acknowledges responsibility for those charges, which are around {$7000.00}. 

Unfortunately, she never transferred the vehicle out of my name, and when she didnt pay the charges ( which I knew nothing about, and for which I was not responsible ), GM put the default on MY credit record. This is the first negative credit report I have had in my life and my 45+ years of making payments on time. 

I refinanced my mortgage a few weeks ago, and during that process, learned about the negative charge on my credit report. I can provide you with the notice I received from GM through the mortgage company, and I can also provide the section from our Divorce Settlement Agreement which clearly shows that my wife is responsible for the payments related to the XXXX XXXX lease ( which she does not dispute ), and that she agreed to defend me and hold me harmless for any liability related to it. 

I need to have this negative charge removed from my credit reports as soon as possible. It is affecting my livelihood, which is commercial real estate development. GM told me that they already written the debt off. If they want to pursue my wife for the balance, that is their choice. She will not fight it ; she has agreed to pay them. I have nothing to do with it, and any negative statement or comment should be completely removed from my credit reports. The rep from GM said that if my wife pays it, they will change my credit record to say " SETTLED. '' That is NOT acceptable.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

From XX/XX/XXXX to date I have tried to communicate with the credit bureaus through letters to validate some accounts that are being reported erroneously in my credit report, but the credit bureaus have completely ignored me already that, they have never given me results and they have not sent me answers via email. That is, they have violated my right to request information on my credit. For this reason I was forced to submit this complaint through this portal.In fact, one of the collection agencies intends to sue me just because I asked them to re-investigate the account since it was a collection account with the status " Open '' Which is wrong and can not be on the credit. 

I hope you can help me.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: Flagstar Bank, N.A. (OR)

Flagstar Bank. 

During COVID I took advantage of their program to defer payments. At the end of the program I signed the Partial Claim documents to add the extra lien to my property to repay the deferral when I sell or refinance the property. 

since XXXX did the first set of docs wrong I have to sign the docs again for different amounts. they said it would get recorded correctly, it didn't. 

in XXXX i attempted to get a HELOC to make some improvements to my home and pay down some debt. 

at that time it was discovered that XXXX placed 2 additional liens on my property. I have been fighting to get these removed for several weeks. I am unable to get to someone within XXXX that can help me and when I do they do not follow through or return my calls for assistance. 

this process is wrongly costing me money and time that I should not have to spend trying to correct their incorrect handling of this program I would also assume that I am not the only one that this has happened to.
