Consumer complaint received 10/13/2015 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AL).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: My enrollment at the University XXXX was from XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
Then I enrolled at XXXX XXXX University for fall XXXX. However, I once I graduated from the University XXXX XXXX I had a grace period of 6 months on my loans. 
XXXX Loan was opened XXXX XXXX, XXXX and one was a Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans in the amount of {$2100.00} and Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans in the amount of {$3000.00}. Direct Subsidized Loans, Direct Unsubsidized Loans, Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans, and Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans have a six-month grace period before payments are due. 
According to federal law : The grace period is a set period of time after you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment before you must begin repayment on your loan. The grace period gives you time to get financially settled and to select your repayment plan. Not all federal student loans have a grace period. Note that for most loans, interest will accrue during your grace period. 
Direct Subsidized Loans, Direct Unsubsidized Loans, Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans, and Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans have a six-month grace period before payments are due. 
Graduate and professional student borrowers with Direct PLUS loans that were first disbursed on or after XXXX XXXX, XXXX receive an automatic deferment while in school and a 6-month deferment after they graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment, which is comparable to a grace period. 

Therefore, I was not liable to pay this account until XXXX XXXX. At this time I had received an in school deferment and I was enrolled at XXXX XXXX University. At this time, I ask that you remove the 60 day late payment immediately off of my account and credit report.

Consumer complaint received 01/21/2018 about Debt collection (Other debt) with I.C. System, Inc. (LA).
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint: To whom it may concern I have been having grief with the same companies over and over. I have disputed these debts on numerous occasions and yes they are removed but they are later reinserted, sold to another debt collection agency, with no update on my credit report or proof that I am the owner of these debts from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They are damaging my credit and reputation substantially without any proof of original contract or signatures from me. The disputes are not even showing on my credit reports and I am aware that my reports should reflect that information. Nor have I received updates from my disputes or original time frame or contract from debt instead after the disputes these accounts are re-aging and that is completely illegal. Also following disputes it seems to me that they are reselling the accounts to someone else after showing removed and then opening again. In addition each time these inquiries are placed back on my credit report I have never received a 5 day reinsertion letter and if there is proof of such letter, please also send to my address. IF not this is yet another violation of thre FCRA section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ), which states you are required to notify me in writing. I am asking for the last time for this agency furnish original contracts and proof and initial contract dates for all collection accounts they are claiming belongs to me. I will take further legal actions if these accounts are not removed. I have exhausted all my efforts with this company and the games they are playing or illegal. Please review all 3 credit reports to see the removals, re-insertions, and re-aging that is continually happening. I am really doing all I can to get my credit at a good standing but this is really impacting my credit. I was at XXXX and have received dramatic decreases.

Complaint: To whom it  may  concerns, I am writing regarding a few accounts that have been on my credit report with Transunion for more than 7 years. I have contacted Transunion many times and they have refused to assist me. These accounts have been satisfied and closed with a zero balance but Transunion has refused to remove them from my credit report.

I am now ready to file court papers against Transunion because unless mistaken all these accounts that have been satisfied or closed and I have a  XXXX  balance and should be removed/deleted from my credit report because it has been way more than 7 year sometimes 10 years and I can not get any assistance.

Consumer complaint received 09/28/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (WI).
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint: I am a victim of identity theft. I provided all necessary documents to Experian in XXXX XXXX to place an extended fraud alert on my file. They did accept my documentation, and placed the extended fraud alert on my file on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I called Experian to request a security freeze be placed on my file. The agent said it would cost XXXXXXXX}. I explained that my file with them already has an Extended Fraud Alert and in the state of Wisconsin, I am therefore entitled to place a security freeze at no charge. The agent told me I had to submit a police report. I told him they already have the police report from placing the Extended Fraud Alert. He put me on hold, came back and told me the police I submitted for Extended Fraud Alert wo n't work for the security freeze. What???? 

He would, however, be happy to put the security freeze on if I paid the XXXXXXXX}. It seems to me what they are after is the {XXXX}, not so much a police report. 

This certainly does not seem fair or logical to me. They are making it difficult for me as a consumer,

Consumer complaint received 05/22/2015 about Mortgage (Other mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: Honestly, I really do n't know what it is that you guys do over there. I am absolutely dumfounded that you closed investigations XXXX, XXXX, & XXXX right after I submitted more information which showed yet more concrete and undeniable evidence that Wells Fargo had made false statements about this loan. Not even ONE DAY after I submitted new documentation, you closed all three!!! Do you just take for granted whatever a bank tells you w/o doing any due diligence or even bothering to pick up a pocket calculator and doing a simple exercise in math which would have taken you two minutes to prove that I was right? You have wasted my time and yours because I actually thought that as the Consumer Fraud Protection Bureau, that 's what you do. I saw no analysis, no investigation, nothing of any sort that leads me to believe you actually accomplished any thorough review of the matter. You were given a trove of documentation that clearly laid out a pattern of errors and dishonesty on the part of the bank, yet you just accept whatever the bank said as gospel and nothing I said carried any value. I will be reporting this to my Congressmen and Senators ; your organization is patently and absolutely useless.

Consumer complaint received 01/27/2017 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with ConServe (NC).
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: After an audit of historical certifications of GI Bill benefits I used at XXXX institutions, the VA determined that I was over-certified at all XXXX institutions, over several semesters. At all stages I committed to paying the debt, but only when the VA determined the entire amount owed. However, the VA began collections on portions of the debt before a total amount was certified. By the time they had stated a total amount owed, they attached fees and penalties to that amount, and had transferred portions to the Treasury Dept. and they in turn to private collections companies Conserve and XXXX. I attempted to set up a payment plan for the total original amount of the debt, but that was rebuffed. I later offered to pay the entire debt in full, minus the fees and penalties in a one-time payment, but that was also rebuffed. I contacted the Treasury to get an itemized statement of the debt and they did not respond. At several points during the transfers of the debt, I was on XXXX XXXX orders with the military, as I currently am, and I believe the SCRA applies. Inaccurate and misleading reports were made to credit agencies concerning this debt, and my credit has been negatively affected, some aspects of my military service have been affected.

Consumer complaint received 06-02-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (KY).
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 disputed this matter countless times to the credit bureaus, the creditor, this agency, attorney generals, and no one seems understand how to proceed. XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) are all refusing to remove fraudulent information from my credit report after providing verification from XXXX that the tradelines were successfully removed from their report. Transunion and XXXX claim they have no authority to remove tradelines, it is at the discretion of the creditor. The creditor, XXXX, is stating it is up to the credit bureau to remove tradelines. Obviously, someone, if not both parties are lying and a full investigation must be conducted on all three entities. I have repeated multiple times and made it very clear that I have never paid XXXX and never will. XXXX is still refusing to disclose information of the true owner of this account, and refuses provide me contact information of their legal department. I have substantial evidence that proves XXXX engaged in financial fraud, forgery, violations of Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, concealing information, knowingly reporting false/inaccurate information, failure to protect consumers identity, and refusal to comply with other federal regulatory agencies. XXXX is deliberately and illegally applying a forbearance ( without my consent ) on the account in order to keep the account open and extend the amount of time it takes to fall off of my credit report. Several XXXX employees told me this action was to prevent the account from being charged off. The account should have been charged off XXXX XX/XX/2013 according to the original default date. Somehow XXXX managed to apply several deferments and forbearances that I did not authorize which extended the charge off date from 2013 to some distant year. Also, Transunion is reporting that one of the 4 tradelines is closed/paid in full and the remaining 3 are current. This issue is not new, I have reported this before to CFPB and for some reason, you were not able to successfully resolve this issue. Once again, I am requesting a full federal investigation into Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX. This issue has done nothing but cause emotional and financial distress and CFPB needs to properly handle the situation. If any other information is needed, please contact me. Thank you

Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: In a notice dated XXXX/XXXX/16 the collection agency falsely asserts that I have an outstanding delinquency. Moreover, the notice makes the patently false statement that " Previous notices ... have gone unpaid and remain delinquent ...

There was no subsequent correspondence or contact from anyone until receiving this XXXX/XXXX/16 collection notice. I am not even the registered owner. This is a fraud on the part of the collection agency.
