Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION (MI)

This mortgage company complaint should never have been closed! Employees took to calling me at work and threatening me. On the first call, I asked them not to call me during working hours. We settled on a call back time from XXXX on weekdays. 

Shortly thereafter, they called me at work again, after I had asked them repeatedly not to do so. They forced me to discuss the matter in front of co-workers since " overtime has not been approved, therefore you need to talk now ''. 

How you folks allowed this to be closed without confirming with me is absolutely unacceptable. They didn't resolve anything, only escalated the threats made to me during work hours, and in front of colleagues. 

The issue is their response to written requests regarding my mortgage that go unanswered. Please escalate this to the highest level that it can be resolved. I am suffering health issues as a result of this matter.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

Experian is reporting that on my account name XXXX, there were charge-off 's in the amount of {$130.00} occurring on the following dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. The charge-off on XX/XX/XXXX is accurate, however the subsequent charge-off 's are not. I have disputed this with them twice, however they continue to " confirm '' all charge-off 's are accurate. I contacted XXXX and was informed that they themselves have no record of the subsequent charge-off 's, and do not understand why Experian is reporting that information. I was able to get a branch manager to write a letter stating that only the charge-off on XX/XX/XXXX was valid, and all subsequent reported charge-off 's never occurred. I attached this letter to my dispute. Despite this letter, Experian insists on leaving the charge-off 's on my report, and even states that they confirmed this information with XXXX. Again, XXXX has absolutely no record of these extra charge-off 's has stated they did not confirm them, or report them to Experian. It's also worth noting that Experian is the only credit bureau reporting this inaccurate information. XXXX  and XXXX   correctly show the single charge-off occurring on XX/XX/XXXX.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA (TX)

I am writing to complain about how interest is calculated to my student loan which isn't how I understood it would be charged when I started repaying. For XXXX I paid {$3800.00} to my loan provider. The interest that was collected for the year is {$2300.00}. which means {$1500.00} went to the principal amount which is currently {$51000.00}. My loan interest rate is 4.5 %. This means that I paid more in interest to the lender than what was applied to my loan. If you do the math, 60.8 % of what I paid for XXXX went to interest. This is far, far more than 4.5 % interest. By the time I finish paying off my loan balance I will have paid almost two times the amount that I borrowed which is not 4.5 %. This is just wrong. Students are misled when it comes to the methods lenders use to collect the absolute maximum amount of interest they can while making it sound like a fair agreement where you pay just 4.5 %. 

Another complaint I have is that I defaulted on my loan thanks to the recession in XXXX where I was unable to find work. When I found employment and was able to start paying again I had to enter into a loan rehabilitation plan in order to start paying back my loan and was charged 18 % of my principle balance just to be able to start paying back my loan. This is just wrong also. 

My last complaint has to do with the school that deceived me also. I was told they were an accredited college and that my credits would transfer to the other colleges and universities. It was my plan to attend college after getting my associated degree to get my engineering degree. When I enrolled I was informed that my credits from XXXX would not transfer to the state XXXX college I was enrolling in and that I would have to take all the classes over again. Not only that, but the school I attended was shut down because of deceptive tactics and other dishonorable methods. 

I feel like I have been totally robbed. It baffles me how young adults are taken advantage of and misled by our educational and lending institutions. This is so wrong and so unfair, and it needs to be correct. If we have to mislead people in order to make huge profits then we are selling a product or a service that has no business being sold. 

When it's all said and done, I will have paid over {$80000.00} for an associates degree from a school that was shut down because they were corrupt. I am truly disappointed with this system and how the people who are keeping this country and economy running competitively are so frequently violated. 

Regretfully, XXXX XXXX

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CA)

I had applied for a XXXX credit card with Chase and was approved initially. After waiting for almost a month for the card to arrive, they told me my card was closed before I could even receive and activate it. They didnt really disclose their reason as to why they first approved it then closed it due to some internal reasons. I have an excellent credit score and this type of treatment only loses more customers that chase has. I feel like they should be happy to acquire my business and not the other way around. Thank You

I recently looked over my credit report and I noticed some false accounts that were reported on my credit file. These derogatory accounts do not belong to me and I have no memory of these accounts. I have no idea who or how someone could have access to my credit report. Now because of these accounts, I have no chance of acquiring new credit. Please conduct re-investigation into this matter and have those derogatory accounts removed off my credit file

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: ACS Education Services (FL)

This complaint involves two issues. The first issue I had was that Conduent loan services did not credit my account with the correct amount that I had paid. They had shorted me by about {$250.00}. After multiple phone calls, first to XXXX, ID number XXXX, and then to XXXX, ID number XXXX, the issue was finally resolved. It took way longer, about a month to resolve this, than it should have. Thankfully, I pay attention to my records, or would never have known about this issue. The second issue I had was receiving another borrowers personal information in the mail. I opened the mail, as it was sent to my address and I have loans serviced by Conduent, so I thought they had put the wrong name on the correspondence. Upon opening the mail, I realized it was someone elses application, with her personal information on it. I was horrified to think that someone might get a copy of my personal identification and financial information in this way. I called Conduent to report this error and the customer service rep was extremely rude and said clearly the mail was addressed to someone else, as if it were my problem that I opened mail from a servicer I use that was sent to my address. He told me to return to sender. I asked his name and ID number and he hung up on me. This was on XX/XX/2018. I am extremely concerned that an organization such as Conduent is handling money and personal information from me and many others. My confidence in this companys professionalism and financial management capabilities is extraordinarily low.
