Consumer complaint received 12/25/2016 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: I am a XXXX citizen retired in Florida who has had a XXXX score of over XXXX for many years. 
I learned via my XXXX card that my XXXX score was XXXX, a dramatic drop of over XXXX points from my XXXX score of XXXX! 
Since I use automatic payments to pay my bills, I explained to the XXXX staff that the only relevant item I could think of was the recent increase in its credit line. While I appreciated that confidence in my financial strength, I did not request such increase since I pay my credit cards in full each month.. 
It is not clear to me what data was used to cause this dramatic XXXX decrease ; that is why I decided to write to your agency for your assistance in determining the facts. 
Let me conclude with noting that if anything, I would believe my score should have gone up since XXXX given the sharp increase in the stock market. 
I thank you in advance for your help in answering my question as to the manner in which my XXXX score was determined.

Consumer complaint received 07/15/2016 about Debt collection (Credit card) with Phillips & Cohen Associates, Ltd. (AZ).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint: This is a complaint from XXXX XXXX against Portfolio Asset Group for Portfolio Asset Group 's failure to provide requested information for the debt alleged. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, consumer, XXXX XXXX, received a demand letter from creditor, Portfolio Asset Group. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, consumer ( through legal counsel ) responded with a written request for documentation, including the following : a. Signed copy of the original contact ( s ) ; b. Any notice ( s ) of assignment or receipt of sale of the debt alleged ; c. Any notice ( s ) of delinquency ; d. Ledgers/spreadsheets/accounting statements showing how the debt alleged was accrued ( including any fees and interest charges added to this debt ) ; e. A copy of your debt collection rights license ; f. Proof that you are licensed to collect this debt in Arizona ; and g. Any other documentation which tends to show validity. 
It has been over a month since this request, and we have received no response. Creditor 's failure to respond to a consumer 's good faith request for documentation makes it impossible for the consumer to make an informed decision regarding the debt alleged. This is a violation of USC 1692, and other federal acts which require lenders and debt collectors to act in good faith and refrain from unfair deceptive or abusive acts.

Consumer complaint received 04/17/2015 about Mortgage (Other mortgage) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NC).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: My Primary mortgage XXXX, that has been the subject of previous communications has been foreclosed, or more precisely the foreclosure sale date has been set for XXXX XXXX, 2015. 
I applied for the NC Foreclosure Prevention Fund, for the MPP. The sale date was stayed. In XXXX, I was notified by MPP, that my application was removed for consideration, so the foreclosure sale date was set for XXXX XXXX, 2015. 
I have a pending sale date on another property that I own, that will provide enough cash, to reinstate my Primary Mortgage. This sale of this other property, has been delayed by weather ( rain ), the surveyors are behind schedule on several of their clients and can not perform duties until after the foreclosure sale date. This was true for several surveyors. 
I request that the Foreclosure sale date be deferred for 2 months, to be sure the survey and closing can be completed. Closing will occur asap, I request 2 months, to allow enough time, in case there are further delays, preventing surveyors, closing attorneys, etc from completing their tasks, especially in consideration of this busiest time of year, for real estate.

Consumer complaint received 12/27/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (Store credit card) with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (MS).
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint: I recently checked my XXXX card and my credit report, and noticed that EVERY time I made a payment, my credit report always showed me at max limit. My opening line of credit was {$1900.00}, now it 's at {$1600.00}. So whenever I make a payment. my credit limit is decreased which makes my credit score lower. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS ACTION AND THIS IS UNETHICAL! 

XXXX needs to fix my history regarding my credit report. I should not be showing MAXED out credit becasue they have chosen to lower my limit with every payment. I believe this may be against the law. I need this fixed immediately and I do n't know how they are going to do it, but I do not want my card closed or frozen. I want my credit limit raised enough to show that I am indeed NOT maxed out on my XXXX card.

Consumer complaint received 01/22/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (NV).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint: I borrowed a number of federal loans for my doctoral program through XXXX XXXX approximately {$150000.00}. After I graduated from my doctoral program my loans were sold to Navient. Today Navient is saying I owe more than {$400000.00} ( I only graduated in XXXX ). In the detailed statements the original principals have been increased by over 60 % in which they are now calling unpaid principal. My required monthly payment fluctuates every month despite the fact that I am on an income-based repayment plan. When I have called and asked about this they say they are late fees and service fees ( they ca n't tell me from when ). Since I began repaying my loan after graduation I have never had a late payment. Navient has also auto-adjusted my interest rates to as high as 8.5 %. A couple days ago I read the news about the class action law suit against Navient and I am interested in finding out how I may get help to resolve this abuse of student loan repayment plans. I have a paper copy XXXX XXXX statement from Navient that cites my unpaid principal as {$160000.00}. However today when I go to the website in the statement they have from the exact same period of XXXX XXXX they cite the unpaid principal as {$200000.00}. I am including copies of both these for your review so you can see how they have retroactively manipulated the numbers.

Consumer complaint received 08-09-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MD).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: Dear CFPB, XXXX / XXXX XXXX has been reporting a charge off on my credit report for years. I have tried countless times to call XXXX and have been unsuccessful.
The negative mark has prevented me from purchasing a home and left me in the perpetual cycle of renting and being unable to build any type of financial security.
I asked XXXX to verify this debt and disputed multiple times with various bureaus. They report that it is verified without sending me any information. This XXXX account could be any number of people with the same name. It is not my address. It has a XXXX balance and claims a payment was made in 2013 but they will not provide any proof or documentation to substantiate their claim.
Would you please assist me in getting this charge off removed from my credit report immediately? XXXX has n't responded to any of my requests and I really need your help. I greatly admire all of the work you are doing to help the little people like me!
Thank you in advance,

Consumer complaint received 06/29/2015 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (HI).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: The XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Collection Agency ) listed on my Transunion Credit Report is not a valid ( legal ) debt ( which I have been fighting for XXXX years ). I have repeatedly contacted the Collection Agency for resolution-and received none. ( BTW-I filed a complaint with your organization against them XX/XX/XXXX. and I have yet to receive a response # XXXX ). In XXXX of 2014 I filed a complaint with your organization to have this Collection Account removed from XXXX # XXXX-which it was. I have tried to dispute this directly with Transunion ( supplied them with all the back-up documentation to prove this is not a valid ( legal ) debt and all they appeared to have done is simply contact the Collection Agency to " validate '' the debt ). That is not an investigation and certainly does not fall within the definition of " valid '' debt-because it is not ( valid or legal ). I am providing you copies of all correspondence with the original creditor and collection agency with the WA State Landlord/ Tenant RCW 59.18.310 code/ law clearly outlining the law, copy of the ledger and lease clearly showing I met my financial obligations, and a copy of the determination of the complaint I filed with your organization against XXXX and it 's outcome ( that it was deleted ). I have also included the letter from Transunion with their " Investigation Results ''.

Consumer complaint received 07/20/2015 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL).
Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting report or credit score

Complaint: Hi, I would like to file a formal complaint against Experian due to their inability to fix an error in their system that prevents my credit score from appearing. 
To give some background information, last year around this time I moved to XXXX, IL and I applied for apartment. To my surprise there was an error and I had to pull up my credit score information to send to them. I checked all XXXX on XXXX and I also received an error from experian, but was able to pull my information from the other XXXX reports. I did n't think anything of it and the apartment company was able to accept what I had submitted from the other reports. 
This year I decided to move to a different apartment complex in XXXX and the same thing happened again. I went online and tried to pull up my credit through their website and it would error out when it was processing every time I hit submit. This time I knew there was an issue and I decided to call them to figure it out. I called the automated system and received an error and was given the run around when I tried to find an option to speak with a representative. I managed to find a number for their customer service for people that was n't to sign up for their services. After speaking with XXXX different representatives including a supervisor, they all gave me the same generic answer that they would n't be able to assist and I would have to call the other number. I told them I called that number and that I was unable to talk with anyone since it was all automated and they insisted that I would eventually talk with someone that would be able to help me. They were wrong and I kept calling the number telling me to go online or mail in a form with identification. I went through everything I could online and with no help from anyone over the phone I 'm not sure where to turn. Please if there is anything you can do to help it would be greatly appreciated. I 'm not concerned about my situation so much this year as I am in the future when I would have to have a cosigner for everything when I worked so hard to have an excellent score through the other companies.

Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint: Capital One have restricted the use of my credit card because of the authorized users on my card.

Every time I call the fraud department, they either keep me on hold or hang up on me! I feel that I am being discriminated against because I am a divorced, XXXX mom with limited finances.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint: Please accept this final written OFFER OF SETTLEMENT BEFORE LITIGATION as my attempt to amicably resolve your continued willful violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act regarding your refusal to delete all of the UNVERIFIED Late account information from my consumer file. Despite my three written requests and complaints, the unverified Late items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In the results of your re-investigations, you stated to the Creditor Bureaus that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? You still have not identified who in your company verified the accuracy of these Late accounts or how they verified them? As previously pointed out to you, XXXX Law Dictionary, 6th Edition, 1990, defines Verification as, Confirmation of correctness, truth or authenticity, by affidavit, oath, or deposition. Affidavit of truth of a matter stated and object of verification is to assure good faith in averments or statements of a party. What this means is that your company must be willing and able to produce a document that proves the account ( s ) in dispute belong to me and the information being reported is accurate and you must be able to do this in a court of law. Someone in your company must authenticate the documents in your files that were used to verify the disputed accounts and to do this they must have 1st hand knowledge of the alleged late account ( s ) and all that has ever transpired for the alleged account ( s ), under oath and under the penalty of perjury. Your failure to provide me with verifiable proof required for your company to post the accounts listed below is evidence that it does not exist and therefore is proof that you cant properly Verify the accuracy of any of the disputed accounts. Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Issue: Getting a loan
Sub-issue: Can't qualify for a loan

Complaint: I attended XXXX College ( a XXXX College ) in XXXX XXXX CA in XX/XX/XXXX and graduated in XX/XX/XXXX.I was told that employment opportunities abounded but I would be required to agree to financial aid with Genesis Lending Financial because I did n't have the funds to pay for the course through the Department of Education or my own personal finances. I gave them my life savings of {$4000.00}. I was told that I would n't have to pay anything back until after they assisted me with employment. I was pulled out of class several times and told that if I did n't pay on the loans I could not complete the courses. Genesis Lending started to call me regarding payments and I told them that I was not employed and could not pay the amount that was requested. They offered a temporary forbarence payment but I was told that the amount of the loan would continue to increase over time. I had to continue to make payments on the loans during the course of the program even though I had been told that I did n't have to start payments until after graduation. I was constantly harrassed and threatened by this lender during the time I attended XXXX College and the financial aid department at the school shared an active role in the practice and I was never informed of the high default rates of these loans or the fact that this type of loan was a private loan and not funded by the Department of Education. This predatory lender has taken advantage of me as a low income unemployed person over XXXX years of age.
