Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX my husband and I started working with Crefco financial located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Florida XXXX. XXXX XXXX was our loan officer and originally pre approved us for a Usda loan ... We signed our agreement with the realtor and home owner in XX/XX/XXXX paid for and had appraisal done in XX/XX/XXXX and was told repeatedly we were closing soon ... By XX/XX/XXXX we were told we did n't qualify for Usda loan but we could get Fha loan and close it by XXXX so we started Fha loan and once again had to pay for new appraisal for Fha loan ... This does n't include all the the times we had to update purchase agreement and tons of other paperwork. By XX/XX/XXXX the home owner ( understandably ) was ready to walk so we had to fire Crefco and go with another lender who closed on our home in thirty days ... But no thanks to Crefco because they refused to release the Fha loan number to our new lender which held us up even longer. My main reason for reporting this company is I do n't want anyone else have to go thru the mess and disappointment that my family went thru. They took my dream and absolutely turned it into a nightmare. If you need to contact me please send me an email to ... XXXXXXXXXXXX ... Thank you

Consumer complaint received 04/25/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with NELNET, INC. (NY).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint: As a continuation of my complaint (  XXXX  ), I was unable to dispute  Nelnet 's respo nse because both CFPB  and Nelnet 's web sites were being upgraded this weekend. Following my initial complain t, Nelnet offered me a Revised Repayment Plan, which they had never previously offered or m entioned to the amount of $  XXXX . That is still a payment that is too high for me. My wife and I file taxes jointly, which seems to greatly effect my income-based repayment plan. She has her own student loan balance of $  XXXX  to pay  ( which I sent proof of with my required income-based repayment plan ). The re p on the phone assured me that if I sent proof of her student loan responsibility that would greatly decrease my income-based payment. That did not happen. After proving my wife 's income, having her own loan balance, a child, and a house, not enough came off of my monthly payment to actually make it continuously payable.     This is a predatory and truth withholding industry that will crash like the housing market did. I get the sense that they know this and are trying to make as much money as possible before their ultimate demise.

Consumer complaint received 11/24/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with DISCOVER BANK (MI).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint: Discover continues to violate the FCRA, I am using this platform to both file additional disputes against Discover card and documentation for litigation which seems to be a certainty. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote a letter informing Discover Card that all charges for an account in my name ending in XXXX was the result of IDENTITY theft. I followed the steps provided by the FTC website and provided all identifying information. I also requested all communications to be in writing via my email address, USPS or XXXX XXXX. to insure accuracy and ability to document all communications. In defiance of Congress and well established law, Discover willfully rejected my claim without any sort of investigation. 

On XX/XX/XXXX. After 6 days past and Discover continued to call 2-3 times every single day and the fact this tradeline had not been deleted or blocked from my credit report as required by the FCRA, I wrote Discover again, this time using the forms provided by the FTC website and providing all the necessary documents including my Identity Theft report, the FTC affidavit, copy of an AFFIDAVIT OF IDENTITY. I was specific and polite. In my CFPB complaint, I asked Discover to CEASE and DESIST all phone calls. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I wrote XXXX , XXXX and XXXX informing them the Discover Card ending in XXXX was the result of Identity theft and requested for the entire tradeline be deleted from my credit reports as required by the FCRA. I sent my written notice, claim and affidavit by CERTIFIED mail to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. The three credit bureaus mentioned forwarded the request to Discover on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Astonishingly Discover again denied my direct claim and denied the claim from XXXX, XXXX  and XXXX. Without a reasonable investigation. Unless of course Discover claims they conducted a reasonable and thorough investigation in 1 day. Discover continued to call me 2-3x every single day. 

According to FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681y, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 After receiving a dispute Discover MUST conduct a reasonable investigation, if the consumer is not satisfied with the resolution, upon request Discover MUSt provide every detail of the investigation to the consumer. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I filed another dispute with the credit bureaus, by certified mail. XXXX, XXXX  and XXXX all received my dispute on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. One day later Discover denied my request for a third time, without any proof of an investigation. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I filed a complaint with the CFPB claiming Discover is willfully refusing to conduct a reasonable investigation, and refuses to provide me with the UNREDACTED file of any relevant information that may have lead to their UNINVESTIGATED DECISION. Again a requested Discover to stop calling me. The last call I received was on XX/XX/XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Public record

Complaint: ( The State of California Franchise Tax Board ( FTB ) is the original data furnisher. Please do not refer to XXXX XXXX County records as the FTB should have the judgement vacated based on its records ). 
In XX/XX/XXXX the State of California Franchise Tax Board file a lien with XXXX XXXX county due to missing XX/XX/XXXX filing of taxes. The FTB account number was XXXX.

In this case, the judgement filed with XXXX XXXX County should be vacated by CA FTB and/or completely removed from my Equifax credit profile. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: Good day, For 2 years I 've worked tirelessly to get my credit score to what my credit worthiness should reflect. I responsibly use XXXX worth of credit a year, however right before my score should be raising above a XXXX ( as it should be XXXX ) the bureau change or add some frivolous or incorrect information to drop it XXXX point and than is raises backed to the same " good '' or " average ''. I than repair it again and the process begins over ; for 2 years every month I 've battled this. This past month ( XXXX ) I called all my credit card companies and asked what they reported and they told me. I than called XXXX and asked them what was reported.

So I again followed the same process the next month XXXX XXXX XXXX and to be safe paid every credit card each time any monies was charged to a XXXX balance throughout the month. And on the XXXX the day XXXX XXXX reported to XXXX I called and asked what was my balances shown on report and again a XXXX debt was placed on my report.
