Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NC)

I applied for the Citi Double Cash Card on XX/XX/XXXX and was approved for the card after additional verification steps on XX/XX/XXXX. This card was suppose to have a XXXX sign up bonus after I spent XXXX dollars in purchases. I asked them if I would receive the sign up bonus prior to using the card and the lady that I was speaking to said that she did not know. So after spending XXXX dollars I contacted the customer service department to see when I would receive my sign up bonus and they stated that I would not receive a sign up bonus because I didnt apply under the correct link. The sign bonus information is posted directly on the Citi website when you look up the Citi double cash card. Which is how I applied for the card. This offer was just created on XX/XX/XXXX for the sign up bonus. After seeing a article on XXXX XXXX for the sign up bonus on XX/XX/XXXX, I applied later that day. I have called multiple times to figure out why I was not receiving the sign up bonus and some of the customer respresentatives I spoke to hung up on me and I had to call back and they still couldnt tell me anything.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

Experian allowed XXXX to open a credit card for me even though I have my account locked. I am not allowed to use it myself, not even for my social security information, so why would Experian allow a bank to open a card on my behalf. I never registered the card and did not want it. Now it 's on my credit reference as opened and then closed, which will reflect poorly on me. I am appalled that it was opened without my authority.

After reviewing my credit report I have discovered an inaccurate listing included on my file that I never knew about and did not sign any contract for. This company which I hold no contract with nor have received serviced from, reported a amount of {$1400.00} with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX credit reporting agencies. This has been on my credit report since XXXX and I have not been contacted to resolve this debt. I do not and should not have a signed contract with ERC or XXXX. I have never done business with either company. I am not reliable for collection from this debt from ERC or XXXX. After reviewing my report I sent debt validation letters to ERC requesting the original signed contract stating that I have or had an account with XXXX. This communication was sent XX/XX/XXXX. The FCRA requires you to verify the validity within 30 days. I have disputed this collection account with all three credit bureaus and ERC has not provided any information, contract or adequate proof. that I actually signed proving this account to belong to me. These disputes were sent to the credit bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX and ERC has failed to provide the necessary information and have only reported to the credit bureaus that my account was being reinvestigated. Validation that I actually signed a contract has yet to be received. As the accounts are under reinvestigation over the past two years it has affected me from getting credit to build my credit. If the validity can not be verified, they are obligated to remove this collection. I have never signed a contract with ERC or XXXX.

I ordered my TransUnion credit report on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I have suffered from continuous issues with TransUnion reporting misleading information that is very damaging to my character. I called TransUnion on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX. and spoke with XXXX. I told him that the credit report shows an account at XXXX County CU # XXXX with a charged off account that was allegedly opened on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and charged off on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I told him that this is absolutely incorrect because I have never had an account with that company opened on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. XXXX told me that he is unsure of how the information is verified. He states that TransUnion is paid to report monthly information pertaining to consumers ' files and he does n't know if its accurate or not. He apologized and stated that there is nothing that he can do. I asked to be transferred to his supervisor, and he refused to transfer me to one. I asked for his supervisors ' name and he stated that he could not give me that information either. He kept placing me on hold several times, before he disconnected my call altogether. To say that I am shocked is an understatement. Our lively hood is being placed in the hands of consumer reporting agencies that do n't care about the affects of reporting erroneous information to our credit files. It seems as though we are being punished for things beyond our control, and there is nothing we can do about it. Who do we have to protect and stand up for our rights? Please help me, because I am so disappointed that I am being taken advantage of like this.

Company: SUN WEST MORTGAGE COMPANY, INC. (CA)

Date XX/XX/XXXX RE : Providing debtor with false information and theft of debtors money. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IN XXXX Account Number Dear Sir or Ma'am : On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent you a letter disputing the debt and requested that you validate the amount owed in accord with the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act and the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collections Act. 

Your response letter dated XX/XX/XXXX ( attached ) failed to validate the debt. You claim I owe {$2700.00}, yet your own records fail to prove that. Reporting a false amount is a violation of 15 USC 1692e ( 807 ) ( 2 ) ( A ), The false representation of, the character, amount or legal status of any debt. 

For a detailed report go to XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, you received another money order from me in the amount of {$300.00}, yet you listed it in my account as {$3.00} dollars. Another clear and unmistakable violation of 15 USC 1692e et seq. You are stealing my money. 

For a detailed report go to XXXX I herein continue my dispute of the reported amount I allegedly owe and request you properly validate the debt by furnishing me with all relevant and required documentation. 

Based on your owe records I owe {$1800.00} less any minor fees, which will be mailed out to you by priority mail. All monies received from me by XXXX XXXX has been in the form of certified funds ; Specifically ; United States Postal Money Orders Based on your own records ( attached ), you are attempting to collect additional monies that are not authorized by the agreement that created the debt. 

Specifically ; {$940.00} Per your own records ; 1. XX/XX/XXXX, was paid in full on XX/XX/XXXX. 

2. On XX/XX/XXXX, you show a disbursement of {$840.00} and {$150.00} respectively, That was the {$1000.00} you received from the creditor, Sun West wherein I had mistakenly sent it to them. The {$100.00} listed on the account was also forwarded by Sun West to you. I have emails from Sun West confirming this. 

On XX/XX/XXXX you received a payment from me in the amount of {$400.00} and another payment from me in the amount of {$300.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, despite your attempt to show it as only {$3.00} dollars. 

$ 1000+ $ 100+ $ 400+ {$300.00} = {$1800.00} As my XX/XX/XXXX payment was for {$1200.00} the XX/XX/XXXX payment was paid leaving a balance of {$580.00} to be applied toward XX/XX/XXXX payment. 

That leaves {$640.00} owed for XX/XX/XXXX. 

Which means, to clear out XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX payments, I need to send you {$1800.00} less any minor fees. 

The above referenced amount due ( {$1800.00} ) less any minor fees was mail to you via priority mail on Friday XX/XX/XXXX. You should get it by Monday the XX/XX/XXXX, so  no penalty can be attached to XX/XX/XXXX 's payment.

I then sent letters to the credit bureaus disputing this debt after proof of the debt wasnt furnished. To date XXXX is insisting the debt is valid and I affect heard back from the other 2 agencies. 

Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a threatening letter that now they will be forced to take the action that the creditor is insisting they take.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (CA)

To whom it may concern, The problem I currently face is one that has affecedt every aspect of my life. I have been dealing with this issue for the last 5 years. It started when I signed up for the federal student aid loan program because with out it, I would not have been able to pay for my education. Not only was the fact the the loan would continue to compile interest after making timely payments not disclosed to me, in addition every fee that sallie mae could come up with amassed a debt amount that I am ultimately not able to afford. My debt to income ratio exceeds 75 % which caused me to max out my credit cards because I literally could not afford anything and once my credit cards where maxed, I also lost my apartment as well leaving me with an eviction on my record. Having something like this on your credit pretty much disqualifies you from everything. The student loan program has done nothing but cause stress and ruin my life.
