Consumer complaint received 04/14/2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Southwest Credit Systems, L.P. (OH).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint: Debt collection agency SW CREDIT SYSTEMS, XXXX, TX placed negative information in my credit report that dropped my score XXXX points ( from XXXX to XXXX ). They did not leave a voicemail about the {$130.00} debt due to XXXX XXXX after a summer job last year in XXXX, WI. I had paid my bill by check so an address was available. They said they called, but never left a phone message. The name on the bill was incorrectly listed as XXXX XXXX, but somehow they were able to find my correct social security number and attach the debt collection to my credit report. This is UNETHICAL and should be unlawful. I paid the debt immediately upon notification it was due. I have stellar credit and I want it back. Now! The report indicates it will remain on my report until XXXX 2022. I have always had very favorable interest rates due to credit score. It seems incredulous a {$130.00} debt could negatively influence my ability to borrow for the next eight years. I would like the information removed so my score returns to a typical XXXX. Thank you.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint: In XXXX I paid off a XXXX smart option loan in the amount of {$1100.00} to a closed school. The school has been closed since XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX I told Navient that I would be able to settle my second private loan that is {$5600.00} in the XX/XX/XXXX. Navient reneged and sent me to XXXX. I agreed to settle for {$2500.00} with XXXX. XXXX bank felt as though that the transaction to XXXX XXXX was fraud and froze my account until XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX asked if I can get a third party involved to make payment. My third partys bank is XXXX. When he was getting ready to make the transfer XXXX XXXX acted like they did not want to give him their routing number. In order to do a wire transfer here in the USA you need a routing number for the bank. Two weeks went by and XXXX XXXX contacted my third party again about payment. XXXX broke the law by contacting hmi without my consent. I spoke to XXXX XXXX manager XXXX XXXX and he said he would write a letter to settle the account for a {$0.00} balance.I waited two months contacting XXXX XXXX with no resolution they were ignoring my calls. I contacted NAvient in XXXX XXXX abou this issue. Their escalation deprtment admitted that have had problems with XXXX and I asked them why did they send me to them if they knew that. All year XXXX the escalation deprtment has done nothing to resolve this issue. I contacted the Consumer Advocate group this past fall. They keep saying that the School I still open and that they need a letter from the XXXX. I gave them a letter from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, email from XXXX office, XXXX email, and email from XXXX other federal student aid agents. would like a refund for the private loan I paid for to the closed school to be settlement for my second private loan with Navient. Navient refuses stating that the school is open. It is not. I keep uploading pictures, documents to no avail. Even though Ive been in contact with Navient they told me in XXXX that my loan was coming back to them so we can resolve the issue. That was a lie They sent my loa to another collection agency in XXXX with the amount owed of {$7000.00}. That is not right

Consumer complaint received 09/26/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MA).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: I, XXXX XXXX tried to have a credit item removed that was re-aged by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I showed proof that XXXX had cut off approximately seven-years of payment history. The fact that I modified the original loan does not lock out the pre-existing payment history. The Federal Trade Commission has through several mandates to stop credit bureau subscribers such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from re-aging of credit trade lines. The facts are as follows : Original mortgage taken from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with account # XXXX Original mortgage transferred for servicing XXXX XXXX with same account number Loan transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with same account number Loan modified XXXX XXXX, and a new account number was assigned # XXXX Loan continuation of payment history must be applied to loan number XXXX from loan number XXXX The fact that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of payment history on the new account number is a re-aging process where the trade line timeline is illegally extended.XXXX**** should have been XXXX XXXX, as the original first late payment shows on file number XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I request a full and complete reinvestigation by XXXX XXXX on this matter, as XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX has avoided the subscriber agreement with a credit reporting agency. Therefore, since the complaint against XXXX was not rectified, I must file an FCRA violation complaint to remedy the matter. 
The XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX account # XXXX must be deleted permanently!!!

Consumer complaint received 09-08-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (NC).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint: Equifax announced a cyber-security incident potentially impacting approximately 143 million U.S. consumers. Criminals exploited a U.S. website application vulnerability to gain access to certain files. Based on the companys investigation, the unauthorized access occurred from mid-XX/XX/XXXX throughXX/XX/XXXX.
I am one of those victims according to Equifaxs Check Potential Impact tool.
They offer a free subscription to TrustedID Premier, but if I agree to the terms of service I will not be able to participate in a class action lawsuit if one should be filed. Believe me when I say- I want to sue them out of existence.
I do not trust Equifax with my personal information, as they have shown it is not secure. Now it 's 'out there ' forever. My personal credit information is now out of my control due to the ineptness of this company. My identity is at risk and it falls completely on the feet of Equifax.
Just days after the breach, several top executives from Equifax sold almost {$2.00} million in stocks, yet they waited months to inform the public. I believe this to be criminal.
They are using fear to 'trick ' people into signing up for the credit monitoring service for one year free, only to ( 1 ) prevent them from suing, ( 2 ) to charge them for this service for the remainder of their life, if they wish to monitor their Identity and try to control their credit.

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX  I checked my credit report on  XX/XX/XXXX  and I had a total of   XXXX   collection accounts &   XXXX   hard inquiries removed from my report. I checked my account again on  XX/XX/XXXX  and I saw that all  XXXX  collection accounts &   XXXX    hard inquiries were placed back onto my credit without sending me a reinsertion letter as required by FCRA section 611. I have called Transunion several times since the incident to try to get this issue resolved but I have not received any help.

I have faxed proof that I was affected including screenshots of the removals/re-entries to Transunion but they continually say theyve not received anything from me. Since then I have successfully had the original creditors remove some of them from  my credit file after theyve confirmed and validated the accounts as false.

Consumer complaint received 10-06-2016 about Debt collection (Medical) with Action Collection Service (ID).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Used obscene/profane/abusive language

Complaint: I received over XXXX phone calls from debt collector and with each phone I requested a written verification of what the debt was and how much the total was for. Each time I was assured that the notice would be sent, I verified they had the correct address to send me said written verification. I have never received anything in writing from them, only phone calls and at times harassing phone calls calling me " stupid '' and threatening legal action. The agent 's name was XXXX, and he called me in XXXX of 2015, he became abusive and aggressive when I told him I needed one more week to satisfy the " verbal '' agreement I made with XXXX in XXXX of 2015 to whom I made a {$200.00} payment. The agreement with XXXX that was again asked for in writing, and was never received, XXXX stated " there is no XXXX and you are stupid to think that anyone would make an agreement with you that is why you will never get anything writing, may you should have died in your accident to make this process easier ''. 
I also have paid {$700.00} to date on the account and was told that I had satisfied this account upon the last phone call from them in XXXX of 2015. I requested this account be removed from my credit report as satisfied I was told " thank you for the payment, and we will do this ''. I again requested that I receive a " paid in full '' statement from them, I was assured that it would be sent and yet again there was no written correspondence. This company does not send out notification of debt to collect, they will only call and then not honor any agreement that is entered in to, nor will they give a terms agreement in writing. They also hold accounts over that get payment on for several years or months to gain more interest to charge to the customer. I have been told by agencies who previously utilized them that " They never remove themselves from anyone credit report, they just wo n't do that ''.
