Product: Credit reporting — 
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Account status
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing because Experian is reporting late payments for XXXX XXXX XXXX from XX/XX/2009 and it has been over the 7 year time per the FCRA : Late payments remain seven years from the original delinquency date. A single late payment is deleted at seven years. If there was a series of late payments ( not paid at 30 days, or 60 days, or 90 days ) and then brought current, the payments would be deleted seven years from the first one missed in the series. If the account was never brought current and charged off and placed for collection, the entire account will be deleted based on the date the account became late and was never again current. This is known as the original delinquency date. 

Therefore, it is the duty of Experian to remove XXXX XXXX XXXX from my credit report.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I filed Chapter XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. My payment plan was for 60 months with 100 percent payback, which I have completed and complied with the court system. My Transunion credit report, as of XX/XX/XXXX, still does not reflect the " status '' of the chapter XXXX case. It 's been a little over 69 months since the chapter XXXX was filed. The Bankruptcy Law states a chapter XXXX time period is between 36 and 60 months. My Transunion report should have either a discharge status, dismissed status, or closed status. It 's been a little over 9 months since the bankruptcy 's time limit. Nine months is outside the time frame of reporting the " status " in a timely manner.

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed this bankruptcy with Transunion and also asked for method of verification. They have not given me this information they stated that they verified the information with a third party vendor. Not the bankruptcy courts. I have been to the court to ask for them to show me the information they said that they can not verify information. The clerk told me that they NEVER EVER report anything to the bureaus and they do not verify anything with the bureaus. The credit bureaus are not validating any information with the originator of this said account. A third party is hear say and is not validation. The courts cant and wont produce my signature on any paperwork so i am asking again for them to remove this inaccurate account. Or Send me method of validation with the courts and the name and contact information from this person so that i can dispute directly with that person because this is inaccurate. Third party is not valid.

Complaint narrative:
I disputed a dismissed Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy ref # XXXX with Transunion and XXXX credit reporting and they say they have verified and it remains on my credit report and I know they have not verified the dismissed bankruptcy nor will they provided me with the verification of where and how the information was verified and I would like for it to be removed off my credit reports. According to the the Fair credit Reporting Act mentions nothing in Section 1681c relating to bankruptcy about dismissals or filings. The law clearly states from " date of adjudication '' or date of " order of relief '' .Any case, civil or otherwise, which is dismissed no longer exists in the eye of the law and a case filed may never have actually been adjudicated. Therefore, they have no right to maintain information which the government has deemed nonexistent. In Section 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ) of the FCRA, they must delete this information from my credit report

Company: CAB Receivables, Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Cab Collection Agency placed a charge on my credit report after sending me one notice. I then called XXXX ( who forwarded the information to Cab prematurely ) making payment arrangements and making sure insurance information was correct. XXXX said they would take it out of collections and bill it properly. They did not contact the collection agency about the payments I was making and they did not bill the correct insurance provider which led to it being sent to collections in the first place. And when I brought this up to Cab they stated that they could only remove it from my credit report if XXXX tells them to or if I fully paid the account. Cab should have also done due diligence to ensure that the accounts they receive are only sent after the company has not had success with the patient. I was doing my part and they should n't have been so quick to send it to collections without verifying the debt, communications with the patient, etc. Cab Collection Agency also should have had the " please see the reverse side for an important consumer notice '' at the bottom instead the middle of the page to prevent the right to dispute information being overlooked.

Company: Penn Credit Corporation
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Penn Credit Corporation alleges that I owe {$410.00} for a red light traffic violation on XX/XX/2015. Firstly, Penn Credit failed to properly serve notice of the violation. I, XXXX, never received a ticket nor violation notice from a human person. I am inclined to take legal action unless Penn Credit immediately ceases all collection attempts. 
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC Section 1692, a debt collector must provide a verification of the alleged debt. The debt collector is mandated to cease all collection activity until verification is provided.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Approaching my payment period, I began looking at of my loans and was rather confused. I first set up my bank account- which I found out later was the incorrect routing number ( my fault ). However, upon the payment bouncing back due my incorrect bank account number. I was called multiple times basically being chastised that something was wrong but they would not help me figure out the solution. So eventually, I retyped all of my account information in a second time but then at this point I had to pay double payment which I am thankful I had enough money. I do not think I should have had to double pay when they could not help me figure out what was wrong. Furthermore, I continuously called to check and try and solve my own problem. On top of that Navient gave no further assistance on my military payments when I thought I needed at XXXX for my taxes they had no clue or any direction. They only focus on what they need and do not care about customer service or finding a correct response. Also, I believe there should be a calculator for students on the site for them to try to pay off their loans before 10 years to save loads of money on interest. So many students will default on their loans because of this. They do not assist you with paying them back at all just complain until you do.

Complaint narrative:
I received my home mortgage with Wells Fargo on XX/XX/2012. When I first applied for my mortgage with Wells Fargo bank I was told if I put down 20 % of the value of the home I would NOT have to pay the loan insurance fee every month. I put down the 20 % towards the value of my home and I got my loan. Later on I saw that the bank included a loan insurance fee in my monthly payments. I questioned it and I was told to ask later on and will come of eventually. When it did n't come of I was told by Wells Fargo that it will take 5 years to come of. I think Wells Fargo should fix this issue as soon as possible.

The bank does not want to refund me my money even though I have provided them with proof after proof.

This company have been calling my mother in law, leaving message on her voice mail saying there are papers I need to be served with for a debt I owe. 
They also called my brother in law letting him know if I do n't pay the debt my wages will be garnished. 
They contacted my ex husband and told him I owe a debt that needs to be taken care of, and there is legal action filed against me for which I need to be served ( this has been threat for the last year ) When I call the company back and asked to send me a bill and I would gladly pay whatever I owe I was told they do n't send bills and I need to provide my credit card or bank information over the phone, which I refused due to not knowing if this is valid debt or not. I also asked the company for their name and addressed and they refused to provide that information to me. My intention was to send them letter stating to cease any communication.

Company: AFNI INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2017, Afni sent me a dunning ( collection ) letter stating that they were trying to attempt to collect a debt for XXXX. I received a call from a representative named XXXX, ID number XXXX, who advised me that they were attempting to collect a debt for XXXX, I advised XXXX over the phone that I did n't have a debt with XXXX, and if he could send me validation of the debt. XXXX was very rude, got loud with me, and advised me that he was going to put this debt on my account in 3 days. I also notified AFNI in writing that this debt was not mine and to provide me proof. I also advised them that it was unlawful to report unvalidated debt on my credit report. Afni still reported this debt on my credit report, although they did n't provide proof. Afni responded to my debt validation letter with the EXACT same dunning letter they sent to me initially, but this time they manipulated the information on the dunning letter to make it look like a " STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT '' They are intentionally trying to destroy my credit, and using intimidation tactics to get me to pay for a debt that is not mine by placing false information on my credit report. On the dunning letter that was sent to me, they advised me that if I notify them within 30 days of receiving their collection letter, they will obtain proof of the debt, which they did not. I did n't receive a signed contract bearing my signature, I did n't receive a billing statement showing the breakdown of any fees on XXXX XXXX letterhead, nor did I received an assignment of the debt to AFNI, proving that they have the rights to collect a debt on behalf of XXXX. I have never heard of Afni nor have I did any business with them. I have attached my dispute letter to Afni, my overnight delivery receipt w/signature showing delivery of the letter, the initial dunning letter that AFNI sent to me, the dunning letter that AFNI sent to me in response to my debt validation dispute letter, and my current credit report showing where they inserted this false information on my credit report. 

I will be seeking a minimum of {$1000.00} in damages per violation for : Defamation Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( including but not limited to Section 807-8 ) Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( including but not limited to Section 623-a-3 ) Afni, will be required to appear in a court venue local to me, in order to formally defend themselves.

Complaint narrative:
Specialized Loan Servicing reported to the Credit Reporting Agencies that I made late payments from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I was discharged from my Chapter XXXX bankruptcy XX/XX/XXXX and I have missed on payment in that year. They are reporting my late payments that occurred during my bankruptcy. They never gave me any notice during the bankruptcy that I was behind and instead falsely reported that I did n't make any payments for 8 months in XX/XX/XXXX. I have bank statements showing I paid the company every month accept XX/XX/XXXX and that is when I entered into a loan modification and was told not to pay that month. This false reporting has cause me not to be able to obtain lending. They should not have reported anything that happened during my bankruptcy they also never told me during the bankruptcy that I was behind making payments. Also, around XX/XX/XXXX I made a double payment and at the time asked them if I was all caught up on my payments to which the representative replied yes. They have a message that all phone calls are reported so we should be able to check the records.I have tried to dispute this issue with the company and the credit reporting agency to which they responded that they company is accurately reporting.

Company: FIRST FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I have grown increasingly concerned about my treatment as a customer ( a long-term and valued one ) by First Financial Bank. I have maintained an active program with this bank for more than 35 years ( including its predecessors before the buy-out ). I have always been in good standing. Recently, I had to take on a short sale of my property in XXXX, Indiana. First Financial was the loan holder on the second. I have signed a promissory note to pay the balance. However, today, when I called, I was greeted with very poor customer service. The behavior of those in the debt office at their corporate office are rude, incompetent and very belligerent. I have been shocked by the level of outright nastiness and lack of cooperation. Amazing. Today, I was told the office would not return my call. This is an appalling state of affairs there. Simply put, they probably deal with hundreds of bad situations. And, they do not really care about those in my position. I am also contacting their leadership on this matter.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
After my XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, I decided to go into a XXXX position that I am still working in. I was aware of the Public Loan Forgiveness program and inquired about the requirements. My loans are direct and eligible. I consolidated my loans in XX/XX/XXXX. I asked about whether this would change my eligibility and was assured that if I still made payments, I would be on track for the student loan forgiveness program. In XX/XX/XXXX, I decided to submit my application to see where I stood. I received a response back in XX/XX/XXXX stating that none of payments qualified. I contacted the FedLoan Services at XXXX XX/XX/XXXX to ask about this. They said it was because I consolidated my loan. They listed the eligible payment plans and said that I could pay a 10 year level payment plan and then be eligible. I stated that if I did that my entire loan would be paid off, so there would be nothing to be forgiven. She said " probably. '' I knowingly took a XXXX position, making less than I could in the commercial sector so that I could work towards student loan payoff. Now, after over 8 years, I am being told that my payments are not eligible. Why have a " forgiveness '' plan if you are required to pay it in full. There is nothing to forgive. I do not recall back in XX/XX/XXXX when I did this seeing anything that said a consolidated loan would not qualify. This program is a sham.
