Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off
Company: STATE FARM BANK, FSB (VA)

My mother has a car loan through State farm bank. I am the XXXX of the will and the only heir to the estate. I was told to supply the death certificate and the court declaration documentation from the local courthouse showing that I am the XXXX of the estate. I supplied those documents. Now state farm back is requesting different documents. They are stating that the documentation I have is not correct. They want me to obtain a small estate document from the courts for this one asset. The courts will not let me supply that form because the estate is too large to use the documents they are requesting. I am at a standstill with the bank. I have requested a call from a manager. They have not called back to get this settled and I am unsure how I can proceed. This is the smallest bank asset and the only bank I am having issues with.

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX GA XXXX SCA Collections , Inc. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  NC XXXX RE : XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$63.00} ) To Whom It May Concern : This letter is regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX, which you claim I owe {$63.00}. This is a formal letter that your claim is disputed.

By not replying in a timely manner to my initial letter onXX/XX/XXXX, you have not only violated federal and state laws, but you have also failed to provide me with a copy of any viable evidence, bearing my signature, showing the account is being reported accurately.

Be aware that I am making a final goodwill attempt to have you clear up this matter. The listed item is entirely inaccurate and incomplete and represents a very serious error in your reporting.

I further remind you that you may be liable for your willful non-compliance, as per FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) -Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. ( 15 U.S.C. 168s-2 ) ( 3 ) Duty to provide notice of dispute. If the completeness or accuracy of any information furnished by any person to any consumer reporting agency is disputed to such person by a consumer, the person may not furnish the information to any consumer reporting agency without notice that such information is disputed by the consumer.

( B ) Time of Notice ( 1 ) The notice required under subparagraph ( A ) shall be provided to the customer prior to, or no later than 30 days after, furnishing the negative information to a consumer reporting agency described in section 603 ( p ).

As you violated federal law, by not properly providing the credit bureaus with proper notice within the required timeframe, and I have evidence of such, via certified mail receipts, you must now remove the item. Any other action ( or inaction ) on your behalf may result in small claims action against your company.

Please also be aware that any negative mark found on my credit reports ( including XXXX XXXX and XXXX ) from your company or any company that you represent, for a debt that I dont owe, is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA ; therefore, if you can not validate the debt, you must request that all credit reporting agencies delete the entry.

I sent SCA a certified letter onXX/XX/XXXX, which was received and signed for onXX/XX/XXXX. They never reported to any consumer reporting agency that this account was in dispute. According to the FCRA & FDCPA, SCA had 30 days to report this dispute and they did not. Therefore, they must remove this item from my credit report immediately.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MD)

Experian, XXXX and XXXX have continued to report information on my credit report, even though information has been sent to the agency that shows that judgement and ownership of accounts have been dismissed by a court. Additionally, all three credit bureaus have found ways to deter consumers from appropriately disputing items on their website. 1. I have attempted to file a dispute on their website for accounts with XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. 2. When utilizing the online site for each credit bureau they presumably give you access to your " free credit report '' to dispute the charges. After going through the ropes of filling out the information which primarily is listed as not having any knowledge of the account and that I would like the credit bureaus to investigate and have each of these companies to adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and verify all information, including but not limited to the open date the last payment date and a signature card or paperwork that would verify me as the account holder. 3 Once I completed this process, each reporting agency then funnels you to a section of their site where you MUST attach supporting documentation. In my case there is no supporting documentation because I have never known of these accounts let alone have any reasonable documentation that would assist in their investigation. 4. If a consumer is asking for a debt to be verified with specific documentation which would prove ownership, why would the bureaus requiere documents with this request. If I have no knowledge of an account and was never notified again, why would i have something to upload. 5. Therefore, the credit bureas would not let me submit the dispute and moreover they have prevented me from accessing the site again to file the dispute with a report number ( which was never generated ), since the site recognizes that I have already pulled my report and does not allow me to dispute my issues utilizing this service. 6. Attached you will also find documentation as it relates to a judgement listed on my Experian, XXXX and XXXX credit report from XXXX XXXX County Court on behalf of XXXX XXXX. I have confirmed through XXXX via the CFPB data base that this information should not be reported and I want this along with all negative information that can not be verified to be removed immediately. 7. Additionally, I have also included information from The XXXX XXXX County Court where the Navient account collection has been dismissed due to lack of proof of ownership.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (FL)

Please read carefully -- I applied and received a loan from Navy Federal. When I explained to the loan representative what I wanted the loan for she told me it would be a consumer loan for home improvement. This loan was secured with my signature not a home ( please see attached promissory note ). As a matter of fact I'm not on the deed, therefore I am unable to obtain a mortgage on the property. Navy Federal is reporting this account as a mortgage. I defaulted on the loan, Navy Federal agreed to do a settlement ( proof I paid the settlement attached ). Now that I have settled the account it is reporting as a short sale. I have tried to obtain a mortgage but I was denied because this loan is shown as a short sale ( see attach denials from XXXX and XXXX XXXX.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

Back in 2015, I provided all 3 credit companies with my proof of ID theft, along with court documentation showing that all accounts were to be disputed and removed for consumer credit report. At that time, I sent in that request to remove all hard inquires, along with all collections accounts. Upon checking my credit, it was found that a collection account still remains on my credit report, and I also have three account that should have been removed from report. This has damaged my good name and credit with these accounts still being present. They are also reporting that accounts that I have open are currently delinquent, when they have been all paid up and current. They are reporting out dated information, and it is making it hard for me to get any type of additional credit. I should be rebuilding my credit right now after over 7,  almost 8 years of having to fight for my identity back. I am asking that all three credit companies, Experian, XXXX, and XXXX update my information ASAP! I have sent letter certified mail, sent in copies of court documentation showing what has happened, and I want all hard inquires and collections and outdated unverified accounts removed from my report or I will take further legal action and sue all three companies! This is ruining my life! I want to purchase a home in the next year, or so.. And, I don't want this information holding me back. I just want to start fresh like I've been trying to do for the last 2 years.
