Their response was that, they do not furnish any information to credit reporting agencies or other entities. Which makes this information unverifiable and inaccurate. Please move forward with deleting this XXXX XXXX bankruptcy record from my credit report. Or you will leave me no choice but to seek legal counsel against your agency.

Company: Diversified Consultants, Inc. (IL)

I had a previous complaint with Diversified Consultants Inc ( XXXX ) which the findings from that complaint explained that they sent me an initial balance letter on XX/XX/2017. I did not request a balance letter, I requested a validation letter bearing my signature which they never provided. In that same complaint, they stated that they requested validation from XXXX and that XXXX would mail me a validation letter. I never received a debt validation letter from XXXX with something bearing my signature that said I am responsible for a debt. Furthermore, DCI is the company who is listed on my credit reports so they are solely responsible for sending me a validation with a contract I signed bearing my signature, not XXXX. 

Furthermore, after doing some additional research, I found out that DCI ( Diversified Consultants ) is not even licensed to collect in my state ( IL ) according to our Illinois state records so they should not be reporting anything to the credit bureaus in regard to me anyway! I would like all collection efforts to cease and as my initial validation request stated, I'd like them completely removed from all credit reporting agencies ASAP!

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting ACT, this Creditor has violated my rights. Under 15 USC 1681 Section 602, it states that I have the right to privacy. 15 USC 1681 Section 604 A - Section 2, it also states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. Under 15 USC 1666 B, a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer plan as late for any purpose.

Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (IA)

SYNCB/PPMC # XXXX Pursuant to the Fair Credit Billing Act, A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. This account is a billing error. This is not a refusal to pay but a notice that this alleged debt is disputed. I respectfully request your company provide me with documentary evidence validating this alleged debt. If no such evidence of indebtedness exists, and the only indebtedness is by agreement, you can not lawfully furnish these inaccurate late payments to the credit reporting agencies. The United States is bankrupt. If this alleged debt is valid, what authority do you have to collect this debt in the United States? If this alleged debt can not be validated and turns out to be an extension of credit, that would make the negative information provision in any agreement between us void and unenforceable. The continued reporting of these inaccurate late payments would constitute a breach of fiduciary duty by collecting this extension of credit by unlawful extortionate means. And under the CARES ACT which is still LAWFUL and has forbearance and credit reporting requirements that may apply to my situation. Since there is no law under the Fair Credit Reporting Act requiring your financial institution to report negative information to a consumer reporting agency, your company is knowingly reporting inaccurate information to the consumer reporting agencies. Reporting information with reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Your companys policy does not supersede federal law. I am demanding that all late payments are UPDATED to PAID AS AGREED and a DELETION of each late payment be submitted to the credit reporting agencies immediately to prevent my consumer credit reputation from receiving further harm.

I contacted Affiliate last month and made a payment of {$25.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. At that time I also setup a payment arrangement to be processed on the XXXX of each month for the next 6 months. Affiliate contacted me on XX/XX/XXXX and had no record of the payment plan and were harassing me for payment. The representative on the phone even went as far as to say " That's fine Mr. ..., don't pay your bills. '' The representative I spoke with indicated that it was not possible that I was on a payment plan and that the account had only been in their office since yesterday. When I tried to confirm the account number the agent hung up on me. I called back and requested to speak with a supervisor. I was put on hold and the line picked up and I heard a male yelling " Because I want to know '', the line was then muted and after about 30 seconds I was hung up on again. Attached is proof of payment from my HSA and a copy of the letter dated XX/XX/XXXX that confirms the payment plan.

Sent my letter off on XX/XX/XXXX I told the credit bureaus to " investigate every piece of information '' on the accounts I have listed below. Also I have attached the letter I sent out and here is all of the evidence According to the FRCA The term " investigative consumer report '' means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer 's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. 


They stated my accounts were verified but how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law. The Credit bureaus stated AccountS were properly investigation but how is that possible if the open date is inaccurate, the date last active is inaccurate, and date last reported is not accurate. This is ground for removal of these accounts : XXXX Account : # XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account : # XXXX XXXX XXXX Account : # XXXX XXXX Account XXXX # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account : # XXXX XXXX XXXX Account : # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  Account : # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account : # XXXX Also every piece of information on these accounts are still not reporting 100 % Accurate.

I haven't given these accounts written permission to furnish these accounts on my credit report as well Please help keep these Bureaus to be held accountable this needs to be removed

XXXX and XXXX have file negative history on my credit reports with all three bureaus. During the time my student loan debt was reported the companies were sending paperwork and contacting my father ( same first and last name ) that I was not associated with at the time. I had not spoke to my father for several years and was not getting the notifications of who owned my student loan debts. 

I have now consolidated all of my student loans and not missed a payment for almost two years. My credit score is solid, but these negative marks are holding me back. I am asking for the items to be deleted from my all three bureaus because there is a XXXX balance with the two companies. At this time I am up to dates on everything and would like things to be corrected because I did not know of defaulting.

In XXXX  of XX/XX/XXXX I had my loans transferred to XXXX because as a XXXX XXXX XXXX, I wanted to work towards loan forgiveness. Up until this point, I had no issues with my income based repayment applications being processed and I made timely payments. Since working with them, i have received conflicting information regarding my application status. Forms that were to be mailed to me were not. They claimed to have not received one form but inexplicably received the other. Most recently, I entered a doctoral program. I initially wanted to continue on my IBR and requested to continue to pay. they denied it and said i had to pay {$1400.00} which I could not afford. I then reapplied for in-school deferment while the situation was rectified. I was told in XXXX that I would receive a form in XXXX and all would be well. I received the form in XX/XX/XXXX immediately faxed it back - was told that it would be taken care of immediately only to find that {$1400.00} had been deducted from my account that I did not have money for and could not afford. The website does not allow you to remove bank account information from the profile as it states. I have just had horrific customer service, representatives who know absolutely nothing and they have now created a financial hardship for me and my family.
