Company: I.C. System, Inc. (MO)

I was recently checking my credit report and noticed, IC System has been reporting to my credit report inaccurate and unvalidated information. They were not able to provide me with any documentation or application with my signature proving I owe this debt to IC System. I reached out to IC System, requesting validation for the alleged debt. IC System response was for me to reach out to the original creditor " XXXX ''. When I called XXXX, they were not able to locate an account for me and advised me to contact the IC System, informing them to remove the negative account from my credit report. If IC Systems purchased this alleged debt, they're claiming I owe, this agency is in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692g. They were to notify me of this account within 14 days prior and I was not notified. I can validate this debt. I do not validate this debt. Under 15 U.S.C. 1692f a debt collector may not use any false deceptive or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt, this account is in violation.

On XX/XX/XXXX, He send me a cashier 's check of {$1900.00} which was way more than he should pay me and told me that he was in New York and he needed my assistance to pay the deliver service, that's why he mailed me a check with the amount more than the cost for the furniture. He asked me to pay the deliver service via XXXX with two different transactions ( {$1000.00} and {$670.00} ). I deposited the cashier 's check and it showed a credit of {$1900.00} on my bank account so I made the XXXX payment for a total of {$1600.00}. Right afterwards, I called my local police department about the big check and I was told it is a scam. So I called my bank right away and asked to stop the payments. On They said that they can not stop it and asked me to file a dispute later. On XX/XX/XXXX, the cashier 's check of {$1900.00} was returned. I sent a disputes later in XXXX. However, Ally closed the disputes on XX/XX/XXXX saying that the transaction was completed with a merchant with whom " I had established a relationship ''. But this was not true.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA (CA)

I have been paying additional amounts on my monthly payments in order to reduce the principal. I have just found from dealing with the company that additional amounts I have been paying since XX/XX/2012 have not been applied to principal. Instead the company have been holding the funds for future payments in a " paid ahead '' status. 

Basically holding my money and indefinitely pushing it forward in time to future payments instead of applying it to principal. This is a problem because I am paying the money now to reduce the principal on which I am paying interest. But they are not applying it to the principal, so they have my money, have not reduced my principal and are still changing me interest on the full amount. 

I had NO IDEA this was happening. I have been paying a lot more each month to reduce principal and apparently they have just been holding my funds. 

As of today, after speaking with a rep, they said they have taken off the " paid ahead '' status on my account. :
