Consumer complaint received 01-03-2017 about Debt collection (Credit card) with Receivables Performance Management, LLC (OH).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: On or about XX/XX/XXXX, my phone with XXXX service was lost/stolen. I called XXXX to alert them of this fact and cancelled my service. The representative acknowledged that my service was cancelled. There was no contract. 
My credit card was charged ( {$85.00} ) for service from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. There was no charge to my credit card for the period XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. Then, my credit card was again charged ( {$85.00} ) for the period XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX I had not resumed any service with XXXX for these time periods. 
I went to the XXXX Ohio XXXX store to straighten out these billing errors. The store manager at that time was XXXX and he and another employee XXXX, called the billing dept to straighten out this issue. They talked to a representative for about one-half hour and told me that possibly they had been able to resolve this issue but were not certain. 
So, I contacted my credit card and told them I was disputing the XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX charges. Subsequently, my credit card company sent me a notice stating " ... the credit card dispute with XXXX has been resolved. The credit we issued to you ... will remain on your account. '' Thus, the erroneous charges were credited out of my account and XXXX at that time acknowledged that no charge should have been made. 
Beginning on XX/XX/XXXX, I have received four or five debt collection letters from XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and Receivables Preferred Management ( 10/08/16 ). In each instance I have sent the above information to each within the time period required. But the only result I have had is that this non-debt is sent to another company or affiliate.

Consumer complaint received 01-12-2016 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: The status of the payment history on my Mortgage account is incorrect. 
Hi. My issue concerns the lack of accurate and proper reporting of payments on my credit report. I have never been late with my payments. I have actually paid 90 % of them early. This is concerning my Mortgage payment history with a company named XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Once again, I have never been late with even a single payment to them. However, XXXX has reported me as being late 9 times and at 180 days late on each XXXX. I have receipts for each and every XXXX of them to prove it too. I am including them. There are no late payments at all what so ever from the time the mortgage was originated in XXXX until right now. Not a single XXXX. These inaccurate and derogatory payment history reports need to be removed and corrected immediately. I have tried to resolve this very simple and easily solved issue for more than a year at this point between XXXX and the Credit Reporting Agencies. XXXX stated in XXXX to the CFPB that XXXX is reporting correctly and it was the Credit Bureaus that are making the mistake and reporting it incorrectly. 
Having XXXX day undeserved late marks on my credit history is absolutely devastating my score, my ability to gain other or build other credit, my ability to create seasoned accounts/length of time, stripping me of the security of having credit cards or gaining access to loans should any kind of life emergency take place and the list goes on. It is also serving to make it even harder to gain access to a decent Mortgage Lender or Mortgage Rate and get away from XXXX too. 
I am submitting The original Mortgage Docs which clearly state that payments are due on the XXXX of the month and that the payments start on XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am also including the letter of transfer from XXXX stating that all payments made on or after XXXX and on will be made to XXXX. ALL payments have been made on time or early the entire time. I am including copies of the receipts of every last single XXXX of them.One may go through from front to back.back to front or however one would like and will see very easily that all of the payments were made on time or early. Next months Mortgage payment will also be made over 2 weeks early XXXX XXXX XXXX ). This issue has stopped me from moving forward and caused a lot of damage. The time is lost, it can not be fixed. It can never be gotten back. This issue needs to be resolved and reported correctly immediately. I have all of the proof in the world that I have made my payments on time.

Consumer complaint received 08/30/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with NELNET, INC. (CO).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint: I have been paying off my loan early, which was supposed to be applied to the principal balance. Instead, Nelnet is applying only a small portion of my payment to the principal, while applying most of the payment to interest. This was never explained to me in any of my loan documents and Nelnet refuses to work with me. 

I spoke with someone named XXXX, who said that it does n't matter if I request that my payments go to principle balance. So, although my next loan payment is n't due until XXXX XXXX 2018, Nelnet applied {$140.00} of the {$170.00} payment to interest. They refuse to apply the over payment to principal as I requested.

Complaint: I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX working toward Public Service Loan Forgiveness with FedLoan Servicing.

Consumer complaint received 11/18/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (NY).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: I have written numerous letters since XX/XX/XXXX to the 3 credit reporting agencies ... XXXX, Equifax, & XXXX to this date XXXX-17 they have not provided me with the original signed documents that I have requested to provide me proof all alleged accounts being reported are really mine. I have requested proof in writing that over XXXX hard inquiries that allegedly belong to me, still dont have proof in written original documentation that I signed from any of the 3 CRAs to verify these hard inquiries. I have requested that any unverified/unknown and/outdated accounts be removed from my credit reports ... there are many inaccuracies and unverified accounts on my credit reports that continue to show up on my report ... its been way over 30 days time period to verify unknown accounts or accounts over 7 years old and mail me written original signed documents to proof all accounts to truly belong to me and are being reported correctly in amounts alleged due. All closed accounts have been requested to be removed nothing as of XXXX-17. I have informed CRAs that I havent been late with any of my payments ... if so prove to me in written documents the dates late to any accounts ... still nothing & still bringing down my credit score.
I find it very stressful that my life has to be on hold because of my low credit scores reporting from these three agencies. Due to this inaccurate, unverified reporting on my credit reports I have been denied rentals, credit, loans, & mortgages etc.
I have spoken with a lawyer in regards to this matter its bought much undue stress into my life. The law states if not provided with written original signed documents in 30 days they have to delete items from report, section 609 states this the CRAs are not following these guidelines.. I have never received verification with my original signature from any of accounts that are on my credit reports its been well over 60 days as of today date.

Consumer complaint received 12-04-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (Store credit card) with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (IL).
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX my balance with JCP was {$3000.00} with a credit limit of {$3500.00} so I applied for a increase of {$6000.00} and was granted {$4000.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I placed an online order that totaled {$1600.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I checked to see how much my payment due was and the available credit reflected I was negative {$670.00}. I immediately called the bank to figure out how my account was over the limit and my credit line was increased. I was told by XXXX that my last purchase caused the account to be over the limit and the credit line was only increased to {$4000.00}, but we could not understand how the transaction got approved. XXXX tried to increase my credit to cover the {$670.00} but I was denied and was told to contact JCP.com. On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with XXXX at JCP.com and was told my transaction got approved because they took the system offline and transactions can go through during that time even if the customer does not have the credit available. I have been a customer since XX/XX/XXXX, never missed a payment and have never charged over the limit. The company gained XXXX XXXX sales at the expense of my account being taken over the limit and my credit score has dropped.

Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: I have sent several letters to XXXX XXXX XXXX to fix the issues on my credit bureaus even to verify that the accounts are mines and they write me back talking about that I did not provide enough information about the disputes for them to work with. Either they have my signature or contract or they don't. That just tells me that they report incorrect information to the credit bureaus and think you suppose to accept it. I want all of there information off of all 3 credit bureaus if they don't have the verification then the accounts should be deleted don't know if I got the loan or not. They will not respond to a simple verification letter, with all the information that they needed was highlighted in red. The steps was in a 123 format. Then write back talking about not enough information, If you have my name, social security number, account number, and address what else information do you need to see if I ever have an account with the company but they can take a loan out in your name if a thief gave them your information though.

Consumer complaint received 09/29/2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with FREEDOM MORTGAGE COMPANY (CO).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: XXXX XXXX and Freedom Mortgage are not transferring my funds to make my mortgage payment. My account has been ignored more than twice and no one is taking responsibility. I have spent so much time on the phone and they insist on ignoring my issue. I feel threatened. I feel like they want to obtain a foreclosure on my property and want to see another late charge adding to my account. My credit score has gone down, and I 'm late on paying my mortgage because neither Freedom Mortgage or XXXX XXXX want to be held responsible for retrieving my funds. My mortgage funds I requested that Freedom Mortgage to retrieve are still in my account, and they have sent my issue to the credit bureau and are claiming I have n't made a payment while they are ignoring every call I have made. I 've owned my home since 2004, and I have n't been late making a payment until lately when Freedom Mortgage is taking care of the payments.
