Consumer complaint received 06-09-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with AES/PHEAA (IL).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: Please pull the phone records for a conversation that took place approximately XX/XX/XXXX 2015 between myself and a Fedloan customer service agent. I had received a statement saying I owed a very high payment. My understanding was you do n't have to pay until 6 months after graduation. So I called in because I had graduated only 3 months prior. The representative told me that I was correct and that Fedloan starts sending statements nearly right away and I could ignore them until my 6 months grace period was up. After following the directions given to me by the Fedloan customer service agent on approximately XX/XX/XXXX 2015 I waited another 3 months in " grace period '' and it goes by and all of the sudden XXXX XXXX  notifies me that approximately 45 late payments were posted to my credit report. 1 for every sub-loan account on record with Fedloan, and for every month, for 3 months in a row totaling to approximately 45 late payments. Even if it was true and I was late I would 've been late paying one payment per month not one separately for every single sub-loan account with Fedloan! 45 late payments is malicious and has indescribably made my life a living hell. I 've been rejected to buy a house, I ca n't get a decent rate on my car loan, and basically my credit score has been brought down to the XXXX XXXX solely due to Fedloan 's customer service giving me misinformation and their false reporting of every single sub account as separate payments when in reality you only make 1 payment not 15 separate payments to separate sub-accounts! I have submitted disputes directly with Fedloan 3 times detailing my story and never once have I been able to state my case to a human. I send it in and the system rejects it and then I have appealed it every time as well and the appeals have been rejected too. I have called in and talked to customer service representatives who have confirmed that this has been a problem with many others and they told me to keep submitting more disputes ; which I have to no avail. I have also hired XXXX XXXX which I have been paying {$100.00} a month for, for over 2 years and they have filed many, many disputes with all 3 reporting agencies against these Fedloan false reporting s. All of this time, money, and energy has been to no avail. This is ruining my life. I graduated and I got a good career and I have had my Fedloan student loans set to Autopay ( never missed or late ever ) and yet I am be rejected for a home mortgage and can not move forward in life. Please help me consumer financial protection bureau! Please do n't let them just ruin my life!

Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint: A representative from AR Resources contacted me sometime in XXXX and stated that they were trying to collect a debt of a hospital bill. They never provided account information they just stated the amount and immediately asked for account information to secure payments. I informed rep that I was currently at work and could n't even discuss a payment arrangement or any other info, she stated she will call me back at a later time. Two weeks later with never receiving a statement or bill from them stating the debt which I never received previously from the call, they placed bill to my credit. I spoke to lady several other times after asking why they did this when they never even gave me the opportunity to look at a bill or discuss payment arrangement outside of work and she had no reply.

Consumer complaint received 11/27/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX).
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 have never authorized XXXX XXXX XXXX to collect or share any information about me. I have no contract with XXXX XXXX XXXX and have never requested any money nor services from them. They have no legal right to be on my credit report. Delete this account from my credit report immediately, or provide me with contracts validating I have a contractual agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX. In the US law encyclopedia, American Jurisprudence, 73 Am Jur 2d. Sections 90-93 ; it says that one can not subrogate onto a contract that they were not originally on, did not have any interest to protect, and then claim successor in rights and interests. Thus, when an original credit sells the debt, they give up their rights to collect on the debt, BUT they do not give those same rights to the collection agency. The collection agency can not act as a substitute for the original creditor. 

No Contract with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Amount : {$590.00} Opened : XX/XX/2015

Sub-issue: Problem getting report or credit score

Complaint: Dear Sir/Madam, I have placed a security freeze on my credit report with all XXXX credit agencies.

I then mailed them all my details including the pin I was provided when I freezed my credit account along with a check and credit card number tocover any fees. Yet they have not unfreezed my account. I am unable to buy a house because of very poor consumer treatment by Equifax. There is absolutely no way to unfreeze my account.

Consumer complaint received 07/20/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NC).
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: On XX/XX/2017 I submitted an online dispute with TransUnion and XXXX concerning Personal Identifying Information missing on my Credit Report / Public Records/ Tax lien ( 2 separate state tax liens ). The only option that fit my situation to file this complaint was listed under 'not mine '. Regardless, the information on my credit report /public records does not include the following : Legal name, DOB, Social Security number or address. They 're-verified ' that the information is correct without conducting a reasonable investigation ( FCRA ),  instead chose to utilize the XXXX system again ( this is not the first time I have contacted them to update or delete these liens ). The personal information they are providing does not meet the requirements per FACTA.They do not have or can not produce the original records showing these liens in fact belong to me. My county courthouse does not provide this information and neither does the NC Department of Revenue, but Transunion and XXXX employees are telling me that they contacted the courthouse and the clerk of court provided the information. That is not true, and if need be I can get the clerk of court to provide a written statement to the contrary. They do openly admit willful non-compliance by not following the law, but they do n't call it that. Also, they will not tell me what 'Method of Verification ' is being used per FCRA sec. 611, only that a vendor has 'verified ' the information. I am having the same issue with both TRANSUNION AND XXXX. I have contacted each agency listed above at least 5-6 times by certified letters, email disputes and phone calls, yet nothing changes. The lack of personal identification is continually being 'verified ' as accurate buy unknown, secret sources through the internet without any proof. I am providing proof of dispute and the 'Official public records ' in question. This document clearly does not contain the required information, only the name of a person is provided. I am not the only person with this name. So, how can the remaining information be verified if the official document does n't contain : address, social security number, or date of birth? It can not ... and they have continuously lied about it!

Consumer complaint received 11/20/2016 about Mortgage (VA mortgage) with NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (VA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: NFCU Mortgage and XXXX Insurance Section sent XXXX threatening letters regarding Master Flood and Master Hazard insurance on the condominium we own. The letters inferred that we ( the XXXX ) did not have insurance and I / we ( the owners of unit XXXX ) did not provide proof, NFCU would buy the insurance at an additional cost to us ( the owners ). Upon investigating this allegation, we contacted the XXXX insurance company and quickly resolved the situation. The NFCU Mortgage and XXXX Insurance Section could have performed this task just as easily,,, but was either too lazy or incompetent to execute the task. The letters as written are not customer friendly, ,in fact they are downright insulting to any long term member ( 20 years ).

Consumer complaint received 05/22/2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with ProCollect, Inc (KS).
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint: Recently, I discovered that a collection agency named ProCollect had reported a collection balance on my credit report. Prior to the account appearing on my credit report, I never received a notice of my right to dispute. I contacted the company to file a complaint about not receiving a notice of my right to dispute prior to the account appearing on my credit file, but they did not remove the account from my report. This is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.     Additionally, I requested that Pro Collect verify the debt they were trying to collect by sending me a copy of the original signed lease as well as a detailed monthly pay history on this account, which clearly demonstrated where this supposed debt originated. The did send a copy of the lease, but they have not sent me a detailed explanation of how the {$1500.00} debt they are trying to collect was calculated. That is also a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.     And finally, I also reached out to ProCollect about setting up payment arrangements should this debt ever be verified as legitimate. Their representatives informed me that they would not accept payments from me.  Reporting  a debt on one 's report, and refusing to accept payments towards the resolution of the debt is also a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
