Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2021 I was hit with a late payment from XXXX XXXX  on a student loan. I have had autopayment on for this account since its creation. I had 18 months of autopay that didnt have a single late in all of that time. XXXX came around and for some reason this autopayment was shutoff. At the end of the month I was called by a collection company requesting this now 30 day late payment. After receiving this call I was in shock since this was always on autopay. I called XXXX XXXX  to ask why the autopay was turned off, instead of getting any help on the situation the customer service rep just stated that I needed to be more careful and keep an eye on the account. I stated that the minute I was made aware of this issue I sent the payment in within minutes however they stated removing this late would be lying to the credit reporting agencies and that nothing could be done.

Within about 5 minuted I recieved a e-mail from XXXX  that I was approved for {$1000.00} credit and would recieve a card in the mail.They assigned me a number.I did recieve my card in the mail.I told the store manager to put my purchase on the XXXX  card.The number on the computor was different than the number XXXX had sent me.The manager said the number on the computor must be a authorzation number and when I got my bill it would have the correct number on it.About 3 weeks later I recieved a bill from Fortiva Bank for the amount of my tire purchase.There was also a new account fee of {$49.00} on it.I immediately called Fortiva To question why they opened an account in my name and put my XXXX XXXX purchase on it.They told me they were the back up bank for XXXX XXXX and XXXX had refused my credit. NOT true.I immediatly told then to close that account and I sent them a check for the tire purchase.I also told them this account was opened fraudently and I would not pay any fees.After talking to several people they finally said they had closed the account and would remove the fees.I do however still recieve bills every month for fees and penalties now to the tune of about $ XXXX.The last time I called I was on the phone for one and one half hours.The last half hour I was on hold untill they cut me off.I discussed what had happened to the manager of XXXX XXXX and he told me XXXX XXXX had no back up bank and this was obviously fraud.He thought Fortiva must have intercepted my info off of something called the dark web.They now sent me a letter saying they have opened another account in my name with a new account number.This is fraud and a scam and they need to close all accounts in my name and remove any fees.

Complaint narrative:
Due to the Pandemic and a death to someone who who was tied to the account my account fell into the late payment category. FCRA section 623, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ; 12 CFR part 1022, subpart E. : states that no late payments should be reported i have already attempted a goodwill letter explaining what happened I even payed all the accounts up to date. I think this is totally unfair i had a death to my immediate family that was tied to that account and fell late due to not only financial hardships, taking care of the funeral expenses and even dealing with XXXX due to her death. Here is the information for the accounts Account Name NAVIENT Account number XXXX Reported Late : XX/XX/2021, XX/XX/2021, XX/XX/2021 Account Name : NAVIENT - Account Number : XXXX Reported Late : XX/XX/2021, XX/XX/2021, XX/XX/2021 By law the late payments should be removed from these accounts

Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: RI

Complaint narrative:
Hi CCS ; XXXX XXXX XXXX ; Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.

You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Complaint narrative:
Set up a payment plan with XXXX XXXX which they have started to receive payments and they still decided to report the collection to the credit bureaus, which also states I owe the full amount which would be INCORRECT if a payment plan was setup. They are double dipping at this point. They are reporting a loss of an amount to the IRS but also collecting that EXACT same amount from me via a payment plan. When I called the response was simply sorry. This is not acceptable.
