Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CT)

After repeatedly being ignored, by all 3 credit reporting agencies, I have no other choice but to escalate this issue. I have sent letters certified and regular, I have made numerous phone calls, and have been stonewalled every step of the way. These companies give me instructions on how to resolve the issue and they don't follow their own protocol. 

I was told to call the creditors- I did that and the creditors tell me to handle it with the Agencies I was told to send in letters certified - The agencies tell me they never received the mail even though I see the parcels have been delivered. 

I call the agencies to follow up - and I get put on hold and wait for them to tell me that My cases were never opened and letters were never received and to send it all over again repeating all of the hard work I've already done multiple times. 

I have multiple late payments that are not accurate seeing as I have all of my accounts on autopay and always have a balance in my bank account.

Issue: Late fee — 
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (OH)

I have XXXX credit lines with Capital one all were on ACH. For some reason - XXXX of my cards is n't on ACH all of a sudden and then I received an email this morning relating that I missed a payment ( Discovered later on my own - Capital one CS could n't explain this to me ). No calls or emails were sent indicating i missed my late fee until just now, which was stating i was n't eligible for a credit line increase for 6 months. They also charged me a XXXX fee. When I called the customer service line and indicated that I made my payment through the application she just continued over and over to ask if I wanted to make the payment. I indicated to her that I had ACH and wanted to understand why they did n't draft and that all my accounts were on ACH and that I pay much more than the minimum monthly ( Just paid XXXX on another capital one card last week ). She continued to just ask me if I wanted to make a payment and that they could n't retrieve my funds ... I continued over and over to ask " WHY '' you could n't retrieve my funds. There was more than enough for the minimum payment to draft from my financial institution. Again she said that she did n't know and if I wanted to make a payment. Clearly I was becoming frustrated so I asked for a supervisor. She transferred me to a phone line that indicated they were closed ( Calling Monday XXXX XXXX 2015 @ XXXX XXXX EST ). The rep just xfered me over and the line states to call back after XXXX Est when they are open.

Company: Social Finance, Inc. (CA)

I defaulted on a loan and it was sent to a collections company called XXXX XXXX XXXX. Once I got back on my feet, I called XXXX XXXX  XXXX and talked to XXXX XXXX and we negotiated a settlement for my debt. She assured me that the call was recorded for both my protection and her protection, but the company has not provided the recordings to me, though I have asked. We negotiated my debt down from {$11000.00} to {$7100.00} ( a difference of {$4700.00} ) as long as I paid by XX/XX/29. I called on Friday, XX/XX/29 and paid the {$7100.00}. If you listen to the conversation, it is clearly a settlement in full for the {$11000.00}. Now that I've paid it, SOFI has changed their reporting to say that I still owe the remaining balance and that I have just made a payment of {$7100.00}, even though I have a statement from XXXX XXXX  XXXX saying that the account is settled in full. This is extremely deceptive, as they are reporting as if the {$11000.00} was never discussed with their collections company and that I was just making a payment toward a balance, which is untrue. I was settling in full.

Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity. 
Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. 
C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the XXXX XXXX compliance standards. 

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. 

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards. 

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRAXXXX XXXX XXXX compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB XXXX FTC and my Attorney General.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (VA)

I have a checking account with Capital One. 
On XXXX/XXXX/2015, I deposited a handful of cash notes at a Capital One ATM machine ( ATM # XXXX ) at XXXX XXXX, Virginia at XXXX. However, the money was not deposited but was eaten by the ATM Machine. The ATM Machine returned to me a slip listing the ATM #, the time stamp and the date with a comment " We encountered a problem returning your cash. Please contact your financial institution ''. 

I called Capital One debit card number at XXXX around XXXX. I was told by the recording that the staff has gone for the day, I need to report the claim after XXXX the next day. I called the Capital One again on XXXX around XXXX, and reported the claim. The representative asked me to give a ballpark number of how much money I deposited and got eaten, at that time I could not tell, because I did not count the cash when I made the deposit ( I have never had similar experience in the past so I forgot to do so ), but I indeed put in a handful of notes. I gave a number of {$500.00} maybe, so the representative told me that they would deposit this amount of money into my account first within 3 days or so, and the claim would go through investigation for a couple of months. 

Afterwards, I counted all the money in my wallet, and compared all the cash return, all the transaction info I have had. This information led me to believe that I probably had over {$900.00} deposited and eaten. So I called Capital One again mid XXXX to report this amount, and got another {$500.00} temporary deposited into my account. 

Today I received the decision letter listing '' After looking into it, we 've approved {$100.00} of the {$500.00}. We had to deny the rest of your claim because of : We checked our ATM records and they do n't show an error for this amount '' My claim number is XXXX. 

I do n't know where this {$100.00} comes from and what it means. Does it mean Capital One finds that I only deposited {$100.00} into my account on XXXX and eaten by the ATM, or it was only a money as comfort. The whole experience has been tedious and frustrating. Nobody contacted me during the 2 months ' claim investigation, and I was not told how much money was eaten at all.

I received a letter from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX stating Congratulations! The Biden-Harris Administration has forgiven some or all of your federal student loan ( s ) with XXXX in full. This debt relief was processed as part of the Biden-Harris Administrations one-time account adjustment because your student loan ( s ) have been in repayment of at least 20 or 25 years. An adjustment to your account updated the number of payments that qualify towards income-driven repayment ( IDR ) forgiveness. This forgiveness is effective as of XX/XX/XXXX. 
I have called XXXX several times enquiring about the timeframe it would take for this to come off my credit report and I was told that it could take up to 3 months. I have checked my report every month sense receiving this letter with no change. Customer service with XXXX can not tell me any date and keeps giving me the runaround transferring me to different departments but no answers are given. It has been 6 months and I feel that is ample time to have this issue resolved and my credit report should be updated to reflect the loan has been forgiven.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: Dovenmuehle Mortgage, Inc. (CO)

Hi, We asked for a forbearance plan with Dovenmuele mortgage. We were given a letter to sign ( agreement ) with conditions. I had called to clarify as it seems they are discouraging forbearance in the conditions.I have other loans and the process was fairly simple and the interest was added on to the end of the loan. In the CASE OF DOVENMUELE in the agreement there are three options after the3 month forbearance : " after the plan expires the mortgagor ( s ) will need to either : 1 ) Bring the loan current 2 ) work with the lender to obtain another workout plan, or 3 ) pay the loan in full '' It is not stated as an option to the mortgagor but a requirement. Obviously we need forbearance so I think one is not bring the loan current or paying it off entirely at the end of the 3 month period. That leaves the option of working with a lender on a plan. What if their idea of plan doesn't work at all and my option per the agreement is to only prepay or come up wit the 3 payments? I called and asked to clarify the payment after the three months but they can not discuss that until after the 3 months. Why would any mortgager go into tht potential signed agreement blind. Are mortgage companies required to give forbearance. If so this is a way to discourage it. The terms of the forbearance have to be clear before anyone signs anything. Hence we are very uncomfortable that we could be putting ourselves in an even tighter position, depending on the blank agreement the mortgage company has provided itself. And we just plain are in a tight position having to make the payments at this time. Help? 

Thanks, XXXX XXXX
