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

On XXXX XXXX I received an alert that a collection account had been posted to my XXXX   account. I went onto my XXXX account to find that a debt collection company called XXXX XXXX aXXXX XXXX XXXX had posted an account for an auto loan I had co signed on a couple years ago. The orig. Lender had posted info as to balance, type and responsibility, But the debt collector gave false information. Listed type as EDUCATIONAL, Responsibility as INDIVIDUAL, Balance XXXX HIGHER than posted the day before from original. This debt collector, to date has not contacted me by any means, so I disputed this information and supplied documents to XXXX XXXX to prove BALANCE, TYPE and RESPONSIBILITY. To my surprise within a couple days XXXX had posted their findings without even receiving the documents I had mailed yet. The finding was " meets FCRA requirements '', case closed. Then along came Experian and disputed with the same outcome. I provided copies from original creditor as well as copies of credit reports showing what original creditor put on credit reports up to the week of the change from original creditor to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXto both CRA 's. This collection is totally believed by CRA 's and they can list anything they want to. Due to type of income I have I am worried that this collection agency used EDUCATIONAL as type of loan to try and freeze my bank account. The findings leave me to believe that this collection agency can pretty much lie and its okay.

Company: ADIR INTERNATIONAL LLC (CA)

Sometime around XXXX, I became aware that my credit score had dropped significantly. When I inquired as to why, I found that someone had opened an account with a XXXX department store in XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2022. 

I never opened this account. 

I immediately reported this fraudulent account to the company. Their response was " call the credit bureaus and report it, '' which I did. Within a few weeks, the credit bureaus rejected my dispute and claimed XXXX considered the account valid. 

I filed a police report with the local police department and re-filed the dispute with XXXX. Now, XXXX XXXX XXXX department sent me a letter asking for the following things : 1. I notarized affidavit that I'm not responsible.

2. Copy of my ID 3. Proof that I was at work that day ( as this was a Sunday, neither I nor any teacher, was at work ) 4. a HANDWRITTEN ( their emphasis ) fraud statement detailing the fraud committed against me 5. Copy of proof of address 6. Copy of police report 7. Copy of my credit report XXXX inquiry only If I don't procure these documents within 30 days, they claim they will consider that I accept full responsibility for this debt. 

This seems like a long list of items I need to prove my innocence, and it includes one item ( # XXXX ) that is both ridiculous and impossible.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

XXXX is falsely reporting a paid off account 's status as currently in collections/charged off/referred to collections when the actual current status is paid. 

The current payment status for Closed and Paid account # XXXX was being erroneously reported as 120+ days late with TransUnion and XXXX so I disputed it since the account was paid in 2016. In response, XXXX recently maliciously changed that 120+ late status on the paid account to currently a BAD DEBT IN COLLECTION/CHARGED OFF to get my much better credit score to immediately drop from the supposed " new delinquency '' when it should reported as PAID/SETTLED. 

XXXX is attempting to keep the false Current Payment Status on my credit reports as negative as possible while placing the actual current status that it was paid /settled collection way down on the report as a comment/note/remarks section instead of correcting the Current Payment Status to PAID/SETTLED FOR LESS THAN BALANCE. Accurate reporting is required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act 5 U.S.C. 1681 and that means a certain level of above board transparency about what the current status of the account is. No money is due or has been due for 2 1/2 years now and never will be again, yet they are pretending that the current status of the account field is for stating what had happened with the account instead of its actual current disposition. This is illegal. 

Instead, XXXX continues to reporting the CURRENT PAYMENT STATUS as a CURRENT BAD DEBT REFERRED TO COLLECTION, IN COLLECTION/CHARGEOFF or as CURRENTLY 120+ DAYS LATE, which is inaccurate and in contravention of the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act 5 U.S.C. 1681. The account is not currently a bad debt, in collections or referred to any agency because it was settled and paid. This error needs to be corrected immediately. 

I am requesting that this item be either deleted or adjusted to accurately reflect that the CURRENT PAYMENT STATUS is PAID or SETTLED in order to adequately reflect my true credit history and final disposition on the affected TransUnion and XXXX reports. 

Both of our records ( mine and XXXX 's ) reflect that this account was PAID/SETTLED in 2016 and that the title of the vehicle was released to me free and clear. The vehicle was later sold with a clean title and I have records of the bill of sale. 


***Documents Attached*** - Not for Posting Examples from credit reports of how XXXX is falsely reporting my paid account # XXXX on my credit reports. 

On TransUnion, XXXX changed the false report of it being currently 120+ days late to a Current Payment Status of " in collections/charge off. '' On XXXX, XXXX reported the Current Status as a current Charge Off/Referred to Collections making it appear new

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (MA)

On XX/XX/XXXX I made a purchase for gas plumbing supplies in XXXX XXXX. The business required payment in full because the items needed to be special ordered. 

I presented my card and signed for the purchase. The items were never delivered and my contacts with the company have gone unanswered. 

I started a dispute with Capital One and they temporarily credited my account. The merchant responded stating that because I signed the charge it was valid and services were rendered. 

I wrote the following, as requested by the bank : To : Capital One Bank From : XXXX XXXX RE : Case number XXXX Merchant : XXXX XXXX XXXX Original purchase date XX/XX/XXXX I made a purchase with this merchant and presented my card for full payment in advance. However, the products werent delivered, this wasnt for a service and there was no cancellation policy relevant because products were not delivered. 
For this reason I would like to reinstate the dispute. 

Respectfully, XXXX XXXX The dispute was reinstated and my account credited again after being recharged. 

I received a letter from the bank stating that since I told them I'm cancelling my dispute, they were closing the case... .I never did such a thing. I contacted the bank via phone and sent them a copy of the invoice and they said they would re-open the dispute because it was coded improperly as services instead of merchandise not received. 

The very next day, I got a notification that the case was closed and I'd have to deal directly with the merchant. 

It is not only Mastercard policy but Capital one 's as well to protect cardmembers in cases like this. 

I spoke to several " offshore '' call centers and they seem more interested in " production '' numbers rather than seriously investigating disputes. 

I would like the assistance of CFPB to reach someone in the bank that will take this matter seriously.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (GA)

I have been making payment, but my loan keep increasing. So, on XX/XX/XXXX I went to the Navient website to review my private loan history to find out why my loan keep increasing, I only had a {$17000.00} loan. When I opened my account, I started from the year I took the loan. When I look down on XX/XX/XXXX which was the date I took the loan, I saw a {$48000.00} unpaid Principal added to my principal ( {$17000.00} ). I called Navient on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX ( ID # XXXX ), I explained the reason why Am calling. I told XXXX to a look at my loan history and focused on XX/XX/XXXX. I asked her to explain to me why there's a {$48000.00} unpaid principal added into my {$17000.00} loan principal, she replied I don't know. She requested to send my complaint to the complaint department, I ask to speak to the department. She informed me that I can not speak to them because they do not take calls, so I agree to send my complaint to them. on XX/XX/XXXX I called Navient to check the status of the complaint, I spoke to XXXX ( ID # XXXX ). I informed XXXX the reason why am calling, He pulled up my account and informed me that he can not find my complaint and can not see what I'm talking about. He put me on hold for about XXXX minutes. when XXXX came back, he informed me about a letter that send out to me. I asked him what in the letter, XXXX informed me that the letter stating that the information 's in my account on the Navient website are not accurate. I ask him what he means by that. He repeated it again, the information 's in my account on the Navient website are not accurate. I ask him if all my payment showing on the Navient website are accurate. He didn't answer me. I ask XXXX where the {$48000.00} came from, Again XXXX repeat the same information from the letter that the information 's in my account on the Navient website are not accurate. I ask XXXX to resubmit my complaint because I want to find out Where the {$48000.00} came from. XXXX informed me that he will resubmit the complaint. After a week speaking to XXXX, I receive the letter. When I review the letter, it seems like someone manually pushing some numbers to make information looks good. After about two weeks I called Navient again, no one seems to know what I'm talking about. No one can find my complaint and no record about the {$48000.00}. They keep telling me that the information 's in my account on the Navient website are not accurate. I went back to Navient website, I see everything has been changed with no explanation about the {$48000.00} and my balance still the same. Please I need help and any law advise. I attach all documents with the loan information, the letter and the correction they made. The first document is with {$48000.00}, second is the letter and last is the correction they claim that they made.

Company: AES/PHEAA (MI)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from several student loan companies telling me it was time to re-certify for Income-Based Repayment. On XX/XX/XXXX, I filed re-certification paperwork with www.studentloans.gov -- copy of email verification attached. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received notification from American Education Services that the student loan re-payment paperwork was received from www.studentloans.gov -- copy of email attached. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from American Educational Services that I was denied the request for income-based repayment, with no explanation given, and told to see an upcoming letter for the reasons -- copy of email attached. I recently received TWO letters on XX/XX/XXXX from American Educational Services, both arrived on the same day and both dated XX/XX/XXXX. The first letter stated that I was denied because " I applied too early '', the second letter once again stated I need to re-certify for Income Based Repayment given a due date of XX/XX/XXXX. Then rejected for " too early '' and told to reapply again with deadline. I called the company today on XX/XX/XXXX to discuss the issue. The customer service representative told me I should consider re-applying in XX/XX/XXXX!!!, because of some XX/XX/XXXX date in their system, despite the fact that the letter has a deadline of XX/XX/XXXX. I told the rep about the XX/XX/XXXX date and the rep said " try applying again end of XX/XX/XXXX and see if that works ''. Terrible! I have not had this kind of problem with ANY other student loan company. All my other student loan companies have received the same info from studentloans.gov at the same exact time in response to annual re-certification and approved my request with no hassles. I am greatly dissatisfied. People should not be treated this way and have to be at the mercy of random games played by a student loan company, when you have no clue what you actually need to do to satisfy their rules for Income-Based Repayment.
