Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Communication tactics — You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying
Company: Radius Global Solutions LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This company has sent me a dunning letter suggesting I send them a written letter or the alleged debt would be assumed valid. I believe this is an attempt for XXXX XXXX XXXX to abuse the system and suggest I have not already exercised my right for validation. The information they have provided in a previous complaint through one of multiple collection agencies they report to have put on retainer for collection services has been proven invalid and I have documented this Consumer Financial Protection complaint XXXX. This complaint verifies I have already disputed this debt and asked for validation along with requiring further communications to be by written letter only. This company, Central Credit Services LLC has called me repeatedly even though I have written to multiple collections agencies who have each notified XXXX XXXX XXXX of my dispute and my requirement to cease phone calls to any number that may reach me. This CFPS complaint should serve as an additional written communication to again demand this debt is in dispute and I do not want any phone calls as any phone call is an inconvenience to me.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I opened a citi bank account because I was going to switch from my current bank. I thought i was making the right decision. So, i opened the account online. Therefore, the card comes in the mail about 7-10 days after the account is opened. I wanted to transfer the funds I had in my current bank to the new Citibank checking account. My account was n't enabled for inter institution transfer so i wrote a check from my current institution to the new one. Check cleared everything is dandy, or so i thought! I found out today without notice over the phone that my account is in the process of being closed due to " fraud ''. I think this is complete discrimination. I did not commit fraud, nor have I ever. I had XXXX for 10 years with no issues. The representative supposedly said that I was advised not to do " self-self '' checks, she was very rude but I was NEVER told that. I only had the account for a week why would they feel the need to tell me that?

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
After calling Citi Bank to request the payoff amount, I paid the balance off in full on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I received my next statement saying that I owed additional interest of {$9.00}. I was told when I called about it, that it would be removed. However, it was not removed and later went on my account as late. I called again and eventually paid the {$9.00}. This card was used to pay for a trip so the next month that charge was on the card. This was a large purchase so I paid for the charge in two payments. When I made the last payment, I call XXXX once again to make sure I was paying the entire balance, including any interest. After I made the payment to the person that I was on the phone with, I cancelled the card and requested a letter stating that the balance is zero and the account is closed. I was lead to believe that everything has been taken care of, however, this month there is interest due again.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
SinceXX/XX/XXXX, I have attempted to get Experian to correct incorrect data relating to my name and addresses with varying success. I contacted Experian via mail and supplied evidence, a copy of my ID and utility bills. In XX/XX/XXXX, some of these corrections were made, but with errors ( See Experian Report XX/XX/XXXX ), which listed among other things, only my apartment number and city ( only ) as my address omitting the street name. I followed up with a request in XX/XX/XXXX ( see enclosed ) which resulted in previously investigated and deleted information to return, and an incorrect spelling of my name to reappear. It seems that I am back where I started, and Experian is not properly correcting and reporting previously investigated items.
I am asking for the CFPB for assistance to have these errors corrected by Experian. The information listed is not correct historical data and strangely was previously investigated by Experian and determined to be inaccurate and deleted. This came back!

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX and I co-signed my daughter 's - XXXX XXXX student loan with XXXX. The servicer is AES. The account is XXXX XXXX XXXX. The current balance is about {$24000.00}. After XXXX made perfect payments for 48 months, we requested from AES in XX/XX/2016 that I be removed as a co-signer. As of today, the payments have been automatic and on time for nearly 60 months. We have received conflicting information from AES Customer Reps, submitted the same documents four ( 4 ) times including those with return receipt requested, were lied to by AES that they did not receive the requests for co-signer release ( later saying that they did receive ), were told that decision is up to XXXX, when we called XXXX they say that decision is up to AES. Each Customer Service Rep has a different story about what was sent, what was received, and whose responsibility it is to provide me with a co-signer release. I have not been denied a release. I have been prevented by AES from being considered. The process is not transparent, the Customer Reps each say something different, promises are made which are not kept. At best I suspect AES of being badly managed. At worst, I suspect a fraudulent attempt to keep me from obtaining a co-signer release. Please look at this matter.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is in regards to a tradeline being reported on my TransUnion credit report as XXXX XXXX XXXX. Per the Florida Attorney Generals Office, this loan is in violation of the The Florida Consumer Finance Act, which prohibits a lender, regardless of their location to offer loan products to residents of Florida without holding a state issued license to do so. According to the Florida Office of Financial Regulation 's Division of Consumer Finance, XXXX XXXX XXXX does not hold the required legal license to provide loans in the state thereby making this tradeline invalid by law. Continued reporting of an invalid account is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
I have disputed this tradeline repeatedly with Transunion only for them to send an e-validation to the lender to confirm my name and address, never investigating the validity of the alleged loan with the appropriate agencies as I have outlined above. This invalid tradeline is being reported illegally by an unlicensed lender and Transunion continues to refuse to effectively investigate this fact, willfully disregarding FCRA requirements.
I am again requesting CFPB assistance in enforcing federal law and having this illegal tradeline removed from my TransUnion credit report. XXXX XXXX XXXX is an online Tribal lender who is not licensed to provide loans in FL. They are illegally reporting this invalid account in an attempt to extort payment from me and TransUnion refuses to perform a simple validation with the appropriate agencies that would confirm this fact. I demand that TransUnion either permanently remove this item from my credit report, or provide evidence that they have validated this lender 's legal ability to enforce this alleged account and it 's reporting.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Diversified Consultants, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I used XXXX XXXX as my cable and internet carrier for approximately two years prior to this alleged debt. Approximately XX/XX/XXXX I transferred service to my roommate at the time in which they had been paying the bill for 2-3 months prior to the transfer of service into their name. I made the XXXX agent that was handling the call that the service was still in my name but the other party had been paying the bill and I just needed to switch the service into the other party 's name and during that call I also made sure the agent was aware that I had not been making the payments but the other party was making payment and the amount due was current at that time and made sure that I was not going to incur any charges in my name and the agent assured me that I would not incur any charges as the service would transfer out of my name. I recently have found that this matter has been transferred to collections and in XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX called Diversified Consultants Inc. that is the collection agency handling this case and made them aware that I did not owe this debt and that i wanted to dispute this matter. I never recieved notice from XXXX that I allegedly owed them anything or this would have been handled at that time. I am not responsible for this debt and the agent handling the call years ago was made very clear of that and assured me that I would not owe anything and that it would simply be a transfer of service and that any remaining balance would carry over into the other party 's name.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I applied for the America Express " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' card. I was declined with a credit score of XXXX as I am a XXXX building credit. I feel that the selective process in which America Express used to decide my creditworthiness was not fair. I am a XXXX XXXX in my late XXXX. Honestly, from my perspective, the credit industry as a whole is flawed to the point that it is a disgusting degenerate sore in our society. The percentage rates for people building credit are unfair to the point I feel like a third class citizen. This feels as if the credit industry has the right to be credit XXXX for the lack of a better term. I contacted American Express on XX/XX/XXXX at approximately XXXX XXXX. to dispute the declined status on my creditworthiness as I do not agree with it. American Express listed off several reasons why they declined my application for credit ; the most I took away was that my credit score of XXXX was not good enough, and the representative said those exact words.
