Consumer complaint received 02-06-2018 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with AES/PHEAA (TX).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: I became of member of XXXX  / XXXX / XXXX monitoring and when reviewing my credit reports I noticed that XXXX XXXX is reporting 120 days of late payments ( {$43.00} ) for the months of XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I reached out to the XXXX   XXXX several times by telephone to discuss the errors on my account and the miscommunication. During that time period I was dealing with a hardship and contacted them. I can remember I did my loan forbearance over the phone with a very nice and professional customer service representative who was very understanding and told me everything was taken care of, but after reviewing my credit I seen my forbearance wasn't taken care of, so I reached out to XXXX for help. 

I thought that I can handling this issue directly with the company and my problem will be solve, only to find out their Customer Service Representatives are extremely rude and unwilling to listen and help you with your problem. Ive been an upstanding customer and always paid and handle my account issues in a timely matter since my account been transferred to XXXX its unfortunate that the nice lady that I spoke with back in XX/XX/XXXX didnt handle my account correctly. 

In XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a written letter informing them of this issue and the only thing I received back was an electronic response letter in my account porter saying they received my credit request and that they are needing more information which I submitted by mail and gave them a copy of my credit report. 

Latest phone conversation XX/XX/XXXX : I contacted XXXX to see how this issue can be resolved. The customer representative was so rude and didn't allow me to finish my claim she said NO! sorry there is nothing I can do. I tried to explain to her that everything was done over the phone back in XX/XX/XXXX she continue to basically tell me Im a lie. I asked to speak with the Supervisor. I was then placed on hold for a long time ; the supervisor came on and basically said he couldnt do anything either and I will need to submit a dispute form and it will go into review and it will take 5-7 days to receive a respond. Its very frustrating and unfair that I have to take the blame and say it was my fault so that I can be consider for an adjustment. 

XX/XX/XXXX : I spoke a new customer service rep. name XXXX ( employee # XXXX ) and asked her about the 5-7 days response and she quickly told me NO Ma'am! you will not hear anything back from us about your dispute until 30-60 days. Why am I getting the run around and different answers from employees a few days ago I was told by a XXXX supervisor that it will take 5-7 days To add, I just recently did a Disaster Forbearance due to Hurricane Harvey and everything was done over the phone with no paperwork or with my signing ( XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX ) - safe to say nothing have been reported yet. 

please help! I tried to collect all the documents I can find*

Consumer complaint received 01/17/2017 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA).
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity protection
Sub-issue: Billing dispute

Complaint: Experian asks a user to input a credit card and teases that it will provide credit reports for {$1.00}. This is deceptive, because it is actually billing a monthly credit monitoring service that costs {$21.00} if not cancelled within 7 days. Beyond this, Experian displays all XXXX credit reports and the user can click on these. Experian charges the credit card on file a one-time fee of {$39.00} for accessing another credit report. There is no disclosure that this amount will be charged, either before or after clickthrough on the displayed credit reports. The user interface is deceptive and looks like these are free products provided with the {$1.00} service. I disputed this with Experian and obtained a refund of the charges to my credit card, but I am concerned about other users being misled. Experian should provide a disclosure that there will be a {$39.00} charge before allowing users to clickthrough and access other credit reports. There should be a more visible disclosure that the {$1.00} charge is actually a signup for the monthly credit monitoring service.

Consumer complaint received 11-09-2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with I.C. System, Inc. (CA).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint: My late father, who died in XXXX, had 2 telephone line accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX since the XXXX : a primary residence line and a secondary fax line for his at-home law business. I moved in with him to care for him as he became ill shortly before he died ; after he died I continued making the monthly payments for both lines, but I did n't need the secondary fax line anymore since I do n't use fax machines. Moreover, the fax line was disconnected by an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX technician who was trying to fix the primary phone line XXXX excessive static, dropped calls XXXX. I told the technician to just close the fax line account since it has n't been used for a couple of years since my father died. Then I called XXXX XXXX XXXX and told them to cancel the fax account & upgrade the DSL service on the primary line. But instead of closing the account, they just kept billing me for another 2 months. They refused to close the account & instead kept billing me ; for 2 years I paid every monthly bill even though I never used the fax line, and after the tech disconnected it, I closed it then stopped paying the bills. That is where the current debt originated, but it was only my father 's account all along since he alone signed the contract & he alone used the account. XXXX XXXX XXXX then reported it to the credit bureaus under my father 's name over 5 years ago. So not only is the debt not mine, but there should n't be ANY debt at all since I closed that account many years ago. 

Then, about 2 months ago I get a letter from a collection agency threatening to report me to credit bureaus if I do n't pay this debt. I call them, IC Systems, Inc., explain the above and they hang up on me after a heated argument. Then two weeks ago I get another letter offering to settle the supposed XXXX XXXX XXXX debt of {$280.00} for {$84.00}. And a week ago I get a credit alert that a new collection account has damaged my credit profile. So a debt that is n't even mine & is n't even legitimate is now ruining my otherwise perfect credit history. So I go to IC System 's website & pay the {$84.00} in order to end this nightmare & remove the fraudulent collection account from my credit report. But after I make the payment, a get a message from IC System that I still owe {$190.00} on my account!!!! Furthermore, the fraudulent account is still on my XXXX credit report doing severe damage to my credit score!!

Consumer complaint received 09/29/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA).
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: I am requesting that TRANSUNION remove tax lien # XXXX that is listed on my credit report in the amount of XXXX. 

The attached tax lien only shows the last 4 digits, no  dob, and an address that I 've never lived at. The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) states liens must have a full name, address, SSN ( full SSN, not partially or completely redacted ) and/or DOB to be reported on anyone 's credit file. You can see the attached tax lien does not meet the XXXX new rules that went in effect XX/XX/XXXX. In my last dispute in XX/XX/XXXX, I added a note to TRANSUNION which stated that it does not meet the new XXXX XXXX rules, but they did not remove it. 

I 'm requesting CFPB 's assistance in getting this tax lien completely and permanently removed from my TRANSUNION credit report.

Consumer complaint received 12-01-2017 about Debt collection (Credit card debt) with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (WA).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint: Multiple FDCPA Violations by Collection Agency and  lawfirm XXXX XXXX XXXX. This agency is attempting to collect charges for a fraudulent account opened with Capital One Credit. This is identity theft yet they claim this account is verified by Capital One. I dont see how that is possible since Capital One deleted the first of two fraudulent accounts opened in my name and I have submitted all my notarized affifavits and police reports, clearly stating this account is not verified because I am swearing to the fact it is fraudulent. 

Violations : XXXX sent me company letterhead yesterday which was their response to my BBB complaint on them. In the letterhead they admit to mailing my personal information related to debt collection and lawsuit to a different address on my street where I do not live. 

XXXX advertises as being lawyers uet their website clearly states they are debt collectors. 

On the pending lawsuit court paperwork filed with the district court, the official court website shows my case number and Capital One as the Plaintiff with their lawyer name underneath. Funny thing is the lawyers name is also an employee with XXXX XXXX XXXX Collection Agency and listed on their website. 

I have notified XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as Capital One via XXXX clearly that this is not my debt and supplied all my official reports. I simply wish the fraudulent account to be deleted in order to not have to seek legal assistance for the clear violations.

Consumer complaint received 01/24/2017 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Premier Advanced Financial Corp II (CA).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint: This is regarding maintenance fees for our timeshare. and Advanced Financial out of XXXX, CA. We were on auto payment and with no notice the company took us off and sent us to collection, XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, CA. We have XXXX timeshares and they were both on auto deduct and the payments were about {$7.00} different from one another so we did not notice that they had stopped. We received 2 calls and collections was NEVER mentioned. They sent us to XXXX XXXX credit who is charging us more than 50 % in fees plus interest of the total amount due! How is this legal. So many industries are regulated and I find it hard to believe that they are n't. This is like loan shark fees I can imagine. We never signed anything agreeing to these exorbitant fees. We owe the money and would like to pay it but Advanced Financial wont take any payments and in the meantime they are setting us up to fail. We believe these are UDAAP violations and that they want our time share back and are forcing our hand. The more time that passes the more the money adds up that we owe them. We were on a monthly since that is easier than having to come up with a lump sum. Looks like they are getting their way so far.
