Seterus will not send us paper statements, they falsely put out loan in their bankruptcy department when the loan ( sold from XXXX after being bought from XXXX ) was *never* part of the bankruptcy. We have been trying for months to get paper statements or at least view them online ever since the loan was sold over a year ago. This is insanity.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Public record
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OH)

In XX/XX/XXXX, I pulled my credit report and a collection account from XXXX County Court and the Ohio Attorney General for State Taxes for unpaid taxes was showing on my report, I had no idea so after seeing this, I sent the money to pay it off and paid extra court costs that were required to remove the Tax lein ( {$690.00} ) Regardless, In XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX it was reported on both My name and spouses credit stating we owe {$290.00} despite mailing several disputes, along with our letters from the XXXX county court and Attorney General Office who both state it was paid and that neither of them are reporting to the burueas. They claim its the bureaus mistake. I recently pulled my credit and it states that this information can not be disputed again due to a fair credit act etc, So they continue to place this off and on my credit over the years and spouse. The report shows I owe {$290.00} and that its unpaid, But As you can see in the letter and I verified again with both the Attorney General and XXXX County via phone as recent as of yesterday XXXX XXXX, XXXX that this was paid and released in XX/XX/XXXX and I was told that it should not be on my credit at all unless showing that is was paid and no longer then XXXX years which would have been no later then XXXX XXXX. 
The judgment was paid and released on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, this XXXX XXXX, XXXX is ( XXXX years ) I feel that all XXXX XXXX, Equifax and XXXX bureaus has greatly impacted my credit score by there mistake and UNWILLINGNESS to remove this or delete it despite the verification they can obtain from both XXXX County Court and Ohio Attorney Generals office collections Department. I am asking that all XXXX bureaus REMOVE this immediately from both my name and spouses. It was paid and released over XXXX years ago and taken off and on our credit, most recently placed on again.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, and I hope your day is going well. I 'm writing because I noticed that my most recent credit reports from XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax contains multiple collection items on my credit reports from XXXX even though they are over 7 years old and actually scheduled to be removed in XX/XX/XXXX. If you noticed from the attached file the reporting dates are different and inaccurate this alleged account is from when I was in college which was over 13 years ago considering I started college in XX/XX/XXXX and graduated in XX/XX/XXXX. So considering the time frame either way the items are between 9-13 years old which is passed the 7 year mark.

I lost my job and had to stop paying my monthly payments in XX/XX/2016. I called Discover card today to try and settle my account. I spoke with XXXX from Discover card who after me opening up and explaining a very personal situation he began to judge me and basically school me like a child regarding my account. I felt very insulted at the way he was talking to me when I was the one who called them to try and settle the account. He began to assume the reason why I stopped payment and was not listening to the real reason why. I have been with Discover card for 16 years and have never stopped paying the account. I wanted to settle my account but he was trying to shame me as to why I hadnt paid.

I had an account with XXXX. I noticed on my credit card recently that they had charged me again. I had n't received any notice from them that my card would be charged, that they were renewing ... 
I went to XXXX and cancelled my account. Then asked for a refund. 
They let me know that they do offer refunds. 
So, they do n't notify folks that their account will renew ... let their customers know they will be charging them. They email about just about everything, but not about charges on the account, not before, not after! 
I submitted a dispute with my credit card company, which was summarily denied. I submitted a followup ... no change.

Issue: Closing/Cancelling account — 
Company: DISCOVER BANK (AZ)

Yesterday I called Discover Financial to activate my mother 's supplementary card, but was informed that it was cancelled since I did not provided some information regarding her. I have been a Discover card member for close to 8 years, and my mother has had a supplementary card for several years also. 

I have XXXX issues with this:1 ) I or my mother never received any type of notification on this regard. Not by email, letter or pop-up on the website.2 ) I informed that my mother does not live in the US , when the card was originally issues, an therefore does not have a social security number. The agent mentioned that she could n't do anything on this regard and therefore could not give my Mother a plastic. Due to this experience, I will cancel my credit card with you once the current charges are paid. First of all, I am really concerned that my credit card company could not reach me on this regard, and lied to me on the topic. I did not received any information on this regard, even if it was addressed to my mother 's name. 

Secondly, my mother has a supplementary card for other US based financial institutions. I have received similar requests from their part, and I have explained the situation and the necessary steps were taken to ensure that my mother could continue to use her card. I understand the need for additional security, but not having an alternative to accommodate for this situations is unacceptable. 

I was happy to provide any additional information or documentation regarding my mother, but you policies clearly do n't have the vision to provide reasonable accommodations in your " know your customer '' policies. This is clearly a discriminatory lending practice based on a national origin. If my mother lived in XXXX, a place where their government issues these numbers, would Discover have an issue with it? Discover stated on an email, that they request this to everyone, but do they do they validate if a XXXX number is used?

I have contacted Experian on several occasions asking for them to validate that XXXX debts are LEGALLY entered on my credit report. I have personally contacted these XXXX companies and asked them to present me with a contract that states that I owe them money or that I am legally obligated to pay them. Per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S. Code 1681, Fair Credit Reporting Act section 623 ( a ) ( 1b ) and section 623 ( b2 ) this company must be able to present a contract between themselves and me in order for them to report on my credit. They have been able to produce no such agreement. They are illegally listing entries on my credit reports. Experian is complicit in allowing this. Each time I ask Experian to validate these debts they simply come back as " verified ''. I am not sure how this is as I have contacted these companies personally on multiple occasions asking for proof that I have an agreement to pay them and they have not been able to offer it. What is the method being used to " verify ''? 

These companies are : 1 ) XXXX XXXX - provided a contract from a third party that I could not verify, however there is no agreement between myself and XXXX XXXX. I do not owe them any monies. 
2 ) XXXX 3 ) XXXX XXXX Bank ( 4 ) XXXX XXXX It was advised that I try to have this issue resolved though the mediation of the CFPB before I filed suit in state court seeking remuneration for several things including but not limited to : Violations of the FCRA and defamation of character.

Company: LoanCare, LLC (WA)

XXXX Bank transferred the servicing of my mortgage loan to LoanCare, XXXX. I feel I was not given adequate notification of this change. I have not received a notice from LoanCare, XXXX. After realizing today ( XXXX/XXXX/15 ) that my automatic payment to XXXX was not processed from my checking account as usual, I immediately went through recent mail to find a letter XXXX, dated XXXX/XXXX/2015 ( received after this date ). The envelope appeared very typical XXXX. Like a statement, or marketing offer. There was no indication that my action was needed, or that there was any urgency to the notice inside. Therefore, the letter went into my pile of non-urgent mail. Despite the nonchalant envelope, there was in fact EXTREMELY important information inside about the transfer of my loan! I then went to the website listed for LoanCare, XXXX to find that I did in fact have a payment due on XXXX/XXXX/15, that I was 14 days late and had already incurred a fee for late payment! Is there anything I can do to recover my late fee? Also, I feel I should receive some basic information about my account balance at transfer, payments, etc. What action should I take? Thank you in advance for any assistance.
