Consumer complaint received 01-02-2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with AES/PHEAA (NC).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: I have reached out to XXXX to discuss inaccurate posted information that has been reported to my credit bureau ( s )  with no actions taken to correct the inaccurate information by XXXX. 

My student loans have been unfairly and inaccurately posted 90 days late to all 3 credit bureaus and XXXX will not remove the incorrect information after numerous phone calls and letters being sent to the XXXX credit department. 

I feel that my loans have been unfairly and inaccurately reported because I was never notified via US Mail nor telephone call by XXXX. My loans have always been in deferment since my departure from University due to health issues related to me being confined to a XXXX and issues surrounding my XXXX XXXX injury. 

XXXX is saying I was 90 days late and the only reason I found out about this information is that I was alerted when my credit score dropped over 390 points one day.  Unbeknownst to me, XXXX is stating that the sent me a message to my inbox on XXXX website. I do not check this website ever, never have. And no one has ever told me that I need to check this website on a monthly basis to check the status of my account with XXXX. 

XXXX unfairly reported me to the 3 major credit bureaus and has ruined my credit to the point I may not be able to move from one apartment to another this summer when my lease is up. My score went from a XXXX to XXXX overnight because of their unfair billing tactics and failure to properly notify me that my loans were no longer in deferment. 

Since the unfair credit reporting incident. I have filed multiple applications with XXXX in order to get my account back into deferred status. This process is lengthy and time-consuming and all computer-based meaning you are unable to speak directly to a human being in regards to the status.You just have to wait. This unfair process caused me to accumulate more late months because their process is slow and unfair. After three months of trying to get my accounts current and back into deferred status, I was denied and I was able to submit an Income-driven repayment plan of which I was ultimately approved for. Monthly payments are now {$0.00} for the next 12 months based on my current income. 

I reached out to XXXX and told them about the inaccurate reporting and they have denied multiple requests to withdrawal their inaccurate and unfair reporting to the credit bureaus and I feel this is completely unfair. 

Please assist me in having XXXX remover the Negative reporting for all of my loans that have been reported to ; XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. 

Thank You XXXX XXXX

Complaint: I use XXXX XXXX XXXX online banking for the ease of : a ) removing the need for paper bills to mailbox & possible identity theft, b ) extensive electronic relationships provide expedient & efficient payment.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Privacy issues

Complaint: I 'm going through a difficult divorce and called in to secure the card information and place everything in my name and remove my soon to be ex from the account.

Consumer complaint received 12/14/2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (CA).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: XXXX XXXX refused to correct incorrect information it continues to furnish to credit agencies regarding a credit card account I closed in XXXX. XXXX XXXX reports an open XXXX XXXX Credit Card with a Revolving Account, an overdue balance, a status of past due, and missed payments. I did open an account with XXXX XXXX briefly on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, but I never made any payments on this account or used it in anyway and I closed the account in XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX kept this account open by mistake and mistakenly charged a {$23.00} administrative fee, despite that I had already closed the account and completed all payments. I was able to work with a customer service representative at XXXX XXXX and confirm the account was closed, and since XXXX, I have discussed this matter with other Customer Service representatives over the years, and they have confirmed that the account is closed and no payments are due. I have never received any notice of this account or any bill since XXXX. Yet XXXX XXXX continues to provide incorrect information about this account to Credit Reporting Agencies. This negative information is damaging my credit score. My negative credit score is impacting the rate at which I am able to obtain various loans and causing additional monthly payments.

Consumer complaint received 05-09-2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (OR).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

Complaint: Equifax updated my credit report lowering my score over XXXX points. They state on the front because it is due to a recent serious Derogatory item on my report - I of course disputed this through them as wel as on this site. I have been working on my credit for over 5 years and knew that I never paid late. So rather than fixint the error they sent me my credit report which of course shows NO late payments in over 8 years. So not only did they send PROOF that there were no late payments on my accounts they are reporting that there ARE. SInce this is NOT showing on my credit report from any of my account holders. Thye need to provide the creditor that is reporting me late since it is NOT on my report. The report does me good. There is also a serious issue where half of my monthly payments are showing " no data avail '' however the payments have been made which shows on my XXXX as WELL as my XXXX. That needs to be updated as well. This one incident has caused me SERIOUS financial problems as my credit score reflects my ability to pay rent and maintain the balances on the cards I have. I want to know if I have any legal recourse for this as this clearly a breakdown on their end. I should not have to dispute this report on a monthly or even weekly basis. They have a responsiblillty to maintain correct information.

Consumer complaint received 02/22/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Conn's, Inc. (TX).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: Back in XX/XX/2013, I purchased Items from Conns Appliances. The merchant overcharged me for the items at the time and charged it to my credit account. There was a difference in the amount charged on the contract I wrote to the amount reported to the credit bureaus. I was investigation this once I discovered the error and had the amounts consolidated. So the debt amount is incorrect as well as the interest rate on my credit score. I was ignorant of my rights as a consumer so I paid the amounts for a while and once I discovered the truth I tried to get to the bottom of the debt. The payments I was making were not decreasing my loan amount according to my numbers. No one was willing to hear me or resolve my issues when I went to the locations. I ended up contacting Conns in order to settle the debt amount with a pay for removal of negative items agreement. I paid the settlement of {$1600.00} and was promised the negative credit marks would be removed. I since checked my credit report and the negative marks are still present. I have no contact information for the credit department so I speak to customer service regarding my issues and they claim that the credit department will not live up to their initial agreement to remove the negative marks. I faxed over a letter with my request 2 times. I also spoke with a representative that stated that they have a courtesy removal of negative marks from my credit report and now when I contact their offices they deny this is the case and in most cases keep me on hold for hours and hang up. Conn 's appliances have a reputation for being dishonest and ruining their customer 's credit but I was unaware of this fact before I made my purchases. 
I have recorded conversations of discussions I have had with Conn 's representatives.

Consumer complaint received 04/18/2017 about Consumer Loan (Installment loan) with Atlanticus Services Corporation (CA).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: On  XXXX  .17 I ag reed to a purchase in the total amount of {$2500.00} from  XXXX   XXXX . I also took advantage of their advertised  12 mo  same as cash promotion.    Late  XXXX /early  XXXX   I received a call from someone who identified themselves as being a collector from Fortiva Retail Credit. I informed the caller that this was my initial contact with Fortiva and that I had never heard of them. The caller told me I need to pay approx. {$300.00} immediately to bring my account current or a delinquency would be reported on my credit report and that the 12 months same as cash offer from  XXXX   XXXX  was no longer an option due to my being late with my initial payment. I was told the total amount of my account was now over {$2800.00}. They also told me they accept only payments directly from my checking account and I would need to use my bank debit card.   I again informed 'collections ' that I had never heard of them and asked that they at least send me some verification of who they are and their connection to  XXXX   XXXX . I was told I would receive my documentation in the mail within a week. On  XXXX  .17 I rece ived my initial piece of mail from the company with an account # and balance, address, payment information, etc. I immediately called Fortiva offering to bring my account current but only if they would honor the origi nal 12 mo sac     agreement which they refused to do. I then offered to pay the original amount in full immediately but they insisted I owed them over {$300.00} in finance charges + late fees and could not do anything about derogatory remarks on my credit.   I have since spoken with their collection department several times, not including the many calls from them prior to having received my initial statement, but they insist on payment of all interest and fees. They can not allow me to discuss the matter with customer service until the account is paid to date bringing it out of collections.   I have no recourse but to pay their fees or have my credit ruined apparently. I did an online search of Fortiva and many reviews state the company engages in this activity as a matter of practice.   I want to note that   XXXX    XXXX  was given my current address, phone # and email information. They delivered the initial purchase to me by truck approximate ly 2 we eks after my purchase, sent follow up emails, called me during the purchase process and nothing has changed.
