Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: HW Holding, Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I recently requested a copy of my credit report. I discovered that there was a debt collection with an unfamiliar amount listed on the report. I called the debt collector and requested an email address to request additional information. On XX/XX/2024I sent Hunter Warfield a debt validation letter to request additional details about this negative impact to my credit report. Hunter Warfield responded on XX/XX/XXXX, provided supporting documentation such as a copy of a rental contract and a summary of charges move-out costs. I reviewed the documentation. The rental contract was signed by XXXX Individuals including myself. I observed that the full amount of the move out charges was assessed solely against me- rather than equitable division of the total move out charges applied to all individuals that signed the contract. On XX/XX/XXXX I responded to Hunter Warfield advising that this debt amount is incorrect and communicated that they need to correct the debt against me to reflect a proportionate share of the charges. Hunter Warfield replied that they refuse to continue to validate this debt. I am filing a complaint with CFPB for assistance in addressing the unfair practices of Hunter Warfield and to request damages. This incorrect debt has been impacting my credit for more than XXXX  years. I have attempted to resolve the matter with Hunter. Their response is not conducive to correcting the issue.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SC XXXX DATE XX/XX/XXXX TransUnion LLC Consumer Dispute Center XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I recently received a copy of my credit report and I noticed some accounts on my consumer report that should not be on there. 
This agency is in violation of 15 USC 1681i. 
( XXXX ) Notice of results of reinvestigation In general A consumer reporting agency shall provide written notice to a consumer of the results of a reinvestigation under this subsection not later than 5 business days after the completion of the reinvestigation, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by other means available to the agency. 

They were to notify me of this in writing 5 days prior, but I was not notified. As the original creditor, only I can validate this debt. I do not validate this debt. Therefore, the following accounts must be deleted from my report immediately : List of accounts to be deleted XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX The reporting of these account ( s ) is/are a violation of 15 USC 1681, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act [ 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( B ) ] : ( 2 ) Exclusions.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( B ) any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer of a credit card or similar device ; So let me explain. Under the Truth in Lending Act 15 USC 1602 ( g ), credit card is defined as the following : The term credit card means any card, plate, coupon book, or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor, or services on credit. 
This makes your social security card, drivers license/ID, and license plate credit cards that are/were used for the extension of credit. 
So, with that being said, with great power comes great responsibilities. It's really up to you how you want to use this information. 
Best regards, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I spoke to Aidvantage on the phone on XX/XX/2024 and XX/XX/2024 asking to be taken out of forbearance. They asked me upload a document to the upload center stating that I wanted this to happen. I did. It is not showing my uploaded documents on my account. I also emailed them on them on XX/XX/2024 stating I wanted to be taken off forbearance. They sent an email back on XX/XX/2024 saying I need to call the borrowers defense hotline to do so, which is false. I recently received a mail correspondence stating today ( XX/XX/2024 ) that the DOE requested that I should be put on administrative forbearance, which is not true. Again today, I uploaded a request to be taken off forbearance. I requested to not be placed on forbearance on my original borrowers defense request application. Therefore, they made this choice for me without my consent.
