Consumer complaint received 2018-02-02 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AK

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I sent certified letters ( that were signed for ) to all three credit reporting companies stating that information on my reports was incorrect. I didn't hear back at all from two of the agencies, and XXXX   only seemed to update some inconsequential/irrelevant information on my report that I had not requested to be revised. My complaint to the companies was based upon a student loan for {$1400.00} that I received from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. The account first went delinquent in XX/XX/XXXX and was then sold to XXXX/XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. This collection agency informed me that I absolutely had to sign up for its rehabilitation program, which required a down-payment of approximately {$150.00}, plus monthly payments of {$50.00} ; I was repeatedly told that paying the account in full would substantially hurt my credit, but that signing up for the rehabilitation program would actually earn me good credit. I paid this agency through the program for approximately one year before the account went delinquent in XX/XX/XXXX ( see attachments ). The loan was then sold multiple times over the next few years, with substantial ( considering the amount of the original loan ) fees tacked on. Throughout that time period, I made inconsistently made numerous payments, but I struggled due to the fact that my loan had been sold so many times, and because I had to have new credit cards issued on three occasions due to fraud or lost cards ( because these " rehabilitation programs '' required that I sign up for an auto-pay with a credit card number, yet that number changed repeatedly, payments were declined on multiple occasions. The loan finally ended up with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  in XX/XX/XXXX, in the amount of {$2800.00}. 

This shows up as an adverse account on my credit report because the loan was sold multiple times. Per 605 - 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing accounts placed for collection which antedate the report by more than seven years. I have only ever received the single student loan in my life. Because all of the student loan accounts on my current and former credit reports originate from the same XX/XX/XXXX student loan account through XXXX XXXX XXXX, and because that loan first went delinquent ( and was originally reported negatively in XX/XX/XXXX, which is obviously outside of seven years from today 's date ), these adverse accounts listed on my credit reports should, in my opinion, be removed.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
From beginning of XX/XX/XXXXup until XX/XX/XXXX, I have been trying to work with my lender to try to get something done about the property. I informed them back in the early party of XX/XX/XXXX that i had been laid off of my job and i needed to do a loan modification to try and offset what i new would happen inevitably. I tried to do the modification, but eventually my unemployment ran out, so i began to look for a buyer, when i could not find a buyer on my own, i recently went to a Realtor. I was under the impression that i had to pay a realtor to actually list the property. I do not deny that a lot of this situation is procrastination on my part, but i need this short sale to make the matter right. 
The property is listed at {$130000.00} and we have had a lot of activity with phone calls and showings. I currently have an offer that i would like for the lender to review.
