Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: CNAC/XXXX is reporting negative collections on my credit report. This was a XXXX Byrider car that i got. The car broke down on us 2 weeks after i got it from XXXX Byrider. They said i was responsible for all repairs. I told them that is unacceptable because the car was making a weird noise to begin with.They were suppose to look at it before i drove off and never did. So the car sat in the street at my house for a long time. I asked them to come take it back that i did n't want it no more. They waited and refused to get car. I told them there was a 30 day return policy and they refused to honor it. I was dumb and young at the time and just let it be. Now i know better and regret my choice. I should 've pushed them to follow their policy. They should n't be reporting it anymore.

Consumer complaint received 01-02-2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX ( CFPB Case XXXX ) ( Acct ending in XXXX ) I nor XXXX XXXX was ever under any circumstances properly told about the interest rate that this card carried and the terms in which we were agreeing to. We would have never agreed to this card had that terms of this card been fully explained to both us and we would see and sign off on it which we did not. We were not aware that this was the account listed on our credit file which was charged off in question after all this time. We believed that this card was paid off and closed which is the reason why I have filed several complaints as to why it was reporting negative to our credit file. I was told that as long as monthly payments were made that NO interest would incur. I nor XXXX XXXX never knowingly agreed to or signed any agreement electronically or non-electronically whatsoever with an interest rate of 26.99 % on a healthcare credit card if the balance wasnt paid in full during a promotional period. I nor XXXX XXXX was not adequately informed about and did not understand ( a ) that I/we would owe interest on my account if the balance was not paid in full by the end of the promotional period ; ( b ) My interest rate ; or ( c ) that interest accrues on my balance during the promotional period starting from the date of my purchase. This account has now been sold to collections agency and is having a very negative affect on our credit files and on our lives. I am prepared to take whatever legal action necessary and if needed file fraud charges against XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and the collections agency it was sold to XXXX XXXX if this is matter is not taken care of. Furthermore no copy of our signatures on the terms and agreement have been supplied. I was sent copy of account being approved. I have had accounts approved in the past but if the terms and conditions were not to my liking I would not sign or agree to it. There was no SIGNED copy of agreement of terms and conditions with XXXX XXXX and myself sent to us. We also never received a claim form in regards to the lawsuit that was filed against XXXX.

I informed the man on the phone that I asked XXXX if they would be doing a credit check and he told me " no ''. I told the man on the phone I did not want my credit pulled and to stop the process.

So this is what i am doing at this time. I want to file a complaint on both men and XXXX XXXX.

The problem I am having is as follows :  1 )  Every year since  XXXX  my escrow account is short by a significant amount of money. They spread the shortage over a period of  XXXX  years. I call for explanation each and every time I receive the notices they can never provide me with a straight answer. I an aware that my escrow account can vary depending on my taxes & insurance. However I have reviewed my taxes & insurances and the increase over the years have not been so high.      2 )  When I modified in   XXXX   my unpaid principal balance was {$86000.00}, and my  XXXX  was {$640.00} with a maturity date of   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  . In signing the documents they include a " Balloon Payment Disclosure '' of {$51000.00}. I called and asked if this was in addition to my original principal balance of {$86000.00} they said NO. It would not of made any sense for me struggling to pay {$86000.00} to incur an additional {$51000.00}. I have even requested a payoff to make sure that this amount is not part of my balance. In addition my husband called mortgage company on   XXXX   spoke with rep ID #  XXXX  and he stated again that he does not see any balloon payment on our loan. My greatest fear is to LOOSE my home which I have been struggling to pay because of my mortgage company mishandling our account.

Consumer complaint received 07/18/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with LEXISNEXIS (OH).
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint: I have requested to opt-out, fraud alert and a freeze place on at an account that was created in my name at LexisNexis, 3rd parting data furnisher. This was done to stop them from reporting things to the credit bureau that has caused me to suffer because my credit score wo n't allow me to function as a normal human being.
I contacted this company because after I did what was required per LexisNexis, they refused to stop reporting and so-call verifying information that they placed on my report. I was told by the CRS that they can report whatever they want to thru public recording reporting. This is contradictory as to what they require you to do as a consumer per their company to stop what they are doing.
This is so frustrating with this act of trickery to gain more information on you to report to credit bureaus who take their word as law.

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

Complaint: My wife and I had our personal data exposed by the credit reporting agency Equifax. As a result we can never be sure that our personal data wo n't be used against us, or to fraudulently obtain credit in our name or to access and steal our financial information and assets. 

In addition, Equifax apparently knew about the data breach for at least a month before revealing this to those of us who 'd been hacked. That was a month that could have been used to change passwords and logins, and otherwise protect ourselves. Instead it was a month used by the hackers to burrow further into our personal data and use it for gain and to harm us. 

Finally, when they did announce the breach they did a inadequate and poorly coordinated job of setting up yet another unsecure link to check if we 'd been hacked and then did n't allow us to IMMEDIATELY sign up for credit protection - only announcing a future date when we could.

Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint: I reviewed my credit reports and I show that there are inconsistencies with the way that a discharged chapter XXXX bankruptcy is showing on my 3 reports.

The other two ( Transunion & XXXX ) have dates that I would like investigated or removed. I'm just very confused, as I know that my state courthouse wouldn't even provide this information to credit reporting agencies anyway. I really appreciate all of your help on this! Thanks, XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 02-06-2018 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (MI).
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Complaint: I've been in daily contact with Navient, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX since this past Thursday, trying to find my students loans. I've submitted a request for a hearing with XXXX XXXX with no response yet. I enrolled in a rehab program with XXXX XXXX and made my first payment to them 5days early only to be pulled from the program and told my loan was " recalled '' back to Navient. Navient says they do not service my loans. I'm in a never ending vicious circle and don't know what to do or who to attempt to repay. Until 2 years ago I was a single mother of XXXX with a job that was not paying well. I was able to eventually find a better job ( not even in my field of study ) with no help from my now useless XXXX XXXX degree. My wages are in garnishment and I currently receive XXXX dollar paychecks although I gross about 1000 biweekly. Between 200 and 300 are garnished for educational loans, I pay XXXX towards health insurance the government says I have to have, as well as XXXX for auto insurance the law says I have to have. I'm left broke by my choice of XXXX XXXX and clueless as to where to find my loans that I'm told are over {$28000.00}. I now spend my time calling loan servicers which send me in circles and are not forthcoming of the amount of debt they tell me I owe nor do so receive any statements of how the amount of debt came to be. The worst decision of my life was attending XXXX XXXX, it has ruined my life.
