Issue: Delinquent account — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (PA)

CREDIT REPORTING COMPLAINT AGAISNT CHASE In 2011 we found ourselves buried under a mound of debt and enlisted the services of a debt consolidator. All of our debts were amicably settled accept one, Chase Account # XXXX. 
We did not find out until recently it had not been settled. Chase had sent us a XXXX which we thought closed the account. What we found was that while we received the XXXX Chase continued to show the debt was open and had monthly payments due. We also found that two offers had been made to the third party representing Chase to settle the account but the offers had been refused. All this came up because I needed a loan to replace my heat pump and had no credit. 

I contacted Chase 's customer service and was told the " XXXX was issued as a courtesy to the IRS to inform them Chase was no longer attempting to collect the debt and they still considered it open ''. As I read the XXXX it clearly states " Summary of Form XXXX Cancellation of Debt '', not this is provided as a courtesy to the IRS but is really still open and due. Further Line XXXX says " Amount of debt discharged ''. How can this mean it is still open and due. I contacted Chase 's customer service once again and was given the same story even when I pointed out the XXXX reported the discharged amount as income to me and made it eligible for a tax write-off for Chase. 

At this point I requested to speak to a supervisor. The gentleman was pleasant and understanding but said there was nothing he could do. He offered to have his manager contact me if I would like and I accepted the offer. Late one Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks later I got a call from XXXX who identified himself as the manager, gave me his full name and employee number ( which I did not write down ). After a pleasant conversation he agreed I had a reasonable complaint and checked with his system which showed our debt had in fact been closed. Nothing was open and nothing was due. Yet he could not get this removed from our credit history as it was the responsibility of another group. 

I had reason shortly after this to visit the IRS and while I was there asked about the meaning of the XXXX. I was told it did in fact mean the debt had been discharged and if Chase refused may want to consider contacting the FDIC ( who 's phone number he gave me ). I did and they directed me to you, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The only reason I can see for Chase to refuse to remove this ex-obligation from the credit report is pure and simple spite. By issuing the XXXX they have reported the discharged debt to the IRS as income to me and have provided themselves with a tax write-off if they choose. There seems to be no reason for this to continue to show up as an open debt on the credit report. Am I missing something? 
A copy of the XXXX is available upon request.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc. (TX)

I have been making over payments for many months. I receive conflicting information about how these payments will be handled. At this time, a very small amount is being directed towards principal, in spite of my large over payment. I was told the system was n't recognizing the over payment because I was paying split payments every two weeks. Additionally, in XXXX my account was placed on forbearance without my knowledge or consent. When I requested the forbearance be removed, I was told it would be, but it never happened. I was told my payment would be auto-debited but it never happened. I called again and was told my payment was processing, but one week later, no payment was ever taken, and when I called, I was told it was because of my forbearance ( that should have been removed 4 weeks prior ). When I called again, I was told not to worry because it was a " courtesy forbearance '' and no capitalized interest would accumulate. Nevertheless, the life of my loan has now increased without my consent. Additionally, now I will continue to be " making up '' interest payments instead of paying principal, even though I have been consistently making overpayments. I do not trust this company. I feel my loan has been handled in an unethical manner and that I am being taken advantage of on a routine basis. Additionally, customer service representatives seem, for the most part, to be completely unknowledgeable about what is happening to my account, or they outright lie, I can not be sure which is correct.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

This is so annoying & frustrating. Ive sent Equifax multiple letters that Im the one whos disputing the items that are UNKNOWN to me. In Equifax 's responses that make the claim that have not initiated any disputes on my behalf due to the fraudulent or high risk nature, and the documents I provided have either been confirmed as fraudulent or deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. This is a complete joke. How in the world did they verify these claims? First of all, I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, I never sent my documentation to anyone else as it deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. Also, according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. ( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. Again, under FCRA 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court. I need your help! As a consumer, I need to correct my credit file for my credit worthiness, credit standing, or credit capacity to obtain my rights and My Financial Freedom that has been DAMAGE.

Re : Experian : My online attempt to place a freeze on my credit report would not process as it should through their website. My complaint about Experian is that it is virtually impossible to reach a live person there on the telephone. One is forced to enter all of their personal information via the telephone, only to be directed back to the web site or other irrelevant location. And/or, one is told to contact them by mail. It should not be legal for a company of this type to cause problems for consumers, then hide behind The Voice Mail System From XXXX. One should be able contact this company by telephone.

Issue: Credit decision / Underwriting — 
Company: BB&T CORPORATION (MD)

I planned to build a new home on a lot I already own free and clear. I picked BB & T to provided the construction loan ( interest only loan which converts to a 30 yr. fixed rate mortgage when the house is complete ). In XXXX of this year, I sent my BB & T loan officer the building plans and then on XXXX XXXX I requested a rate lock ( I had just signed my contract with my builder ). I have a copy of the BB & T loan officer 's reply that I was locked in at a 3.375 % rate for 60 days. On her email promising the rate, you can see we were discussing the empty lot where the home was to be build so she know perfectly well it was a construction loan. All the paper work was submitted, there 's no problem with my credit score ( which is XXXX ) or the debt ratio, then yesterday I get a note from my loan officer, QUOTE : When you applied on line you applied for a NON construction loan so the product we have you on is for a non-conforming purchase. We all missed it and that is why we have underwriters. My apologies for not catching and correcting it sooner. Since I feel this is not your fault I have been working with secondary marketing to get you as close to 3.375 % rate as I can. I do have some restrictions so here is what I can offer you. 30 year construction loan program is 3.625 % and I will pay your underwriting fee of {$670.00}. We also have the 10 year arm for construction loans and today that rate is 2.875 % and the 7 year arm is 2.625 %. Rates are higher on Construction Loans because we do not know where they will be when the house is complete. You also have the option of a one-time float down option on the construction products when the house is within 60 days of closing. UNQUOTE This is untrue! After I spoke to my loan officer in XXXX and told her I needed a construction loan she quoted me 3.375 % with my building plans in her hands. Additionally, only after speaking to her did she tell me to go to their online site to apply for the loan. The drop down site on their web did not have a construction to permanent loan selection allowed. I told her, mailed in most of the information via mail ( hard copy ) some paper work I electronically signed on line over 5 weeks ago. Now that the rates have gone up, they tell me that they made a mistake, not me, and despite the promised rate of 3.375 % I 'll have to pay more. This ties my hands because ALL rates have gone up so I 'll pay more with BB & T or any other bank. ( The underwriters had NO other problems with my application and as you can see from my bank officer 's reply the feel I 'm fully qualified to get a loan through them. ) The property was to be built at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX SC XXXX and the loan officer is : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX | Banking Officer | Mortgage Loans | BB & T Home Mortgage|NMLS # XXXX Office : XXXX Cell : XXXX Fax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XXXX SC XXXX

On XX/XX/2022 I sent a certified letter to the 3 credit agencies requesting that they verify a bankruptcy claim that is listed on my credit report with them. I also contacted a United States Bankruptcy court in my state to find out if they were reporting this said Bankruptcy. I received a letter from the local United States Bankruptcy Court that they do NOT report any items to any credit agency and that Credit Agencies use 3rd party vendors to obtain public information. I then received a response from all XXXX credit agencies in XXXX " validating '' the bankruptcy information but did not state how it was verified. I then sent another letter requesting a reinvestigation and the steps and companies they used to validate such information. All 3 responded that they verified the information via XXXX. I contacted XXXX directly and asked for a complete report of all the information they retain under my name, date of birth, social security number and address. On XX/XX/2022 I received the XXXX report and they do not list ANY bankruptcy, which is contrary to all 3 credit bureaus claims and re-investigation into this matter. I have attached the proof of my XXXX report, specifically page 27, where liens, judgements and civil filing records are reported.
