Company: AES/PHEAA (NC)

FEDLOAN has 4 entries on my credit report that I tried to get removed and/or updated as they are not reporting accurate information per the FCRA requirements. As you can see from the attached credit report, creditors have been reporting a 2-year history. The time frame that should be reported should be XX/XX/XXXX down to XX/XX/XXXX. 

I've requested it be updated once before with no success. I asked that it be deleted for inaccuracies or updated and there was no resolution. 

I filled out a borrower defense application form back in XXXX. Per the XXXX Credit report, the balance decreased and then it was increased again along with a new entry from a company called DPT EDXXXX. There was no explanation as to who this company is and why it was added if my XXXX XXXX XXXX application was reviewed and approved.

I asked for a contract proving that these accounts held me contractually liable to pay them. They failed to send any information requested. they only sent a letter stating the amount owed. This in in violation of my consumer rights and the FDCPA/ Federal Rules of Civil procedure. I have contacted this company on numerous occasions requesting that they delete these false accounts. I know that the FCRA requires them to have proof the account is mines in order to report it to the bureau. CHOICE RECOVERY INC is reporting this false information. This company continues to contact without any proof or validity of the debt.

Hello I hope you are having a excellent day. Recently I have filed a dispute with the credit reporting agencies because of inaccurate information reported on my credit, which is hindering me of getting more credit. To this day I have not received any updates from them regarding the investigation that is suppose to take place. I have sent out the necessary letters and also gave them the necessary time frame to dispute all inaccuracies and reach back out to me but alas they have not reached back out to me. I also filed a 30 day demand letter in order for them to update me on the investigation but also I have not heard from them. This is very important for me because as stated earlier I can not receive any high end credit because of the inaccurate information the credit bureaus reported on my credit.

This particular account situation that is lately filing on my own credit document has a seriously unfavorable relation to my personal ability to obtain a present loan application. I highly recommend you generate verification that Credit Union has been reported completely in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulations, it's really a serious problem to misreport. More confirmation of the aforesaid item too. My proper request must over, I was never 30 days/60 days/120 days late in any of my payments and I'm not greatly tuned in to the date opened so I prefer to ask you be investigated as soon as possible and confirmed to be correct. Thanks!

Roughly 16 months ago I settled an account with Midland Credit Credit Management for roughly 75 % of my balance that was owed at the time. The account had since been deleted from my credit report and Ive been working on stabilizing my credit to buy a new home. Randomly at the start of XXXX  I had an alert for a drop in my credit score ( a BIG drop! Not good when house hunting!! ). I checked and it was due to TWO new reports of collections from Midland. I immediately called the company when I realized it was the account I had previously settled. They were claiming that I still owed the remaining balance etc despite having documents stating the account was settled / closed. I was given the run around for 2 weeks, being told to call back tomorrow and not to dispute anything yet on the credit report because it could delay things. Finally I disputed it because the company was NOT helping me and kept pushing it off like it was nothing. The dispute went through but the collection is still showing on my report because it was reported TWICE and only one was removed. My credit has remained significantly LOWER despite having one of the collections removed, causing trouble with getting mortgage rates that Ive been working so hard for! Terrible terrible TERRIBLE and useless customer service / managers.

XX/XX/XXXX Covid happened. I called Wells Fargo Auto and asked if there was any way I could get any help with paying my car payment as I had just lost my job, as did my husband. The WF agent told me I could have a 3 month deferment and I accepted that. So my next payment, as I was told by wells fargo, would have been due on XX/XX/XXXX. Since I still wasn't working, I called again and was told I could have a three month extension of my deferment, which I also accepted. So now my next payment is not due until XX/XX/XXXX. On the morning of XX/XX/XXXX, I walk out to my drive way and the only thing I see are 2 black skid marks where my car was and is no longer there. I called the police department thinking my car had been stole. I was told that my car was repossessed by the lender. I called Wells Fargo multiple times that day and the next three days until I finally got someone on XX/XX/XXXX, in the executive office and they admitted their mistake. I was sent a letter to bring with me to the place where my care was towed stating that I was to be given my vehicle back and I was not to be charged anything. I did go to retrieve my car. I was treated like some kind of criminal and made to stand outside in the hot XXXX Florida sun in mid XXXX  for over 2 hours while they " waited for someone to come and unlock the impound yard.
