Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of this year, I found out that my identity had been stolen. I checked my credit report and there were several closed student loans on my credit report. In total, there were 4 accounts all opened fraudulently using my identity. 

I alerted each credit bureau that my identity had been stolen by sending a letter, filing a FTC complaint, sending an FTC affidavit and filing a police report and requested that they remove the accounts. It is my understanding that victims of identity theft are to have fraudulent accounts blocked from their credit report within 4 days of receiving that notification but they refused to do so and declined to give an explanation as to why they would not do so. They stated that all of the accounts had been verified as mine. This is a direct violation of the FCRA. 

I reached out to the creditor directly and requested that they provide proof that the account is mine by showing a physical contract with my signature and show what method they used to verify that the debt is mine. Instead of doing so, they sent a follow up letter plainly stating that the account was verified. Lastly, I sent a of Notice to Furnishers of Information showing that they can only report accurate information and that they are in violation of the FCRA because they have received word from all three credit bureaus that my identity was stolen but they have failed to take any action whatsoever.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
My Great Lakes is charging interest during forbearance. I paid all outstanding interest on all loans. There was a {$0.00} interest calculation on my account summary page the last time I made payments of {$500.00} and {$5500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Now, I see interest totaling {$110.00}. How can interest go from {$0.00} to {$110.00} in three weeks if the interest rate is 0? They claim this is interest accrued prior to XXXX. Since all interest had been paid previously ( I have screen grabs ), I can only gather that that this is an honest error that they have refused to correct to date or its a falsification. 

Also, if you look at the payment history, you see an interest balance of {$0.00} on the Grad Plus loans and an interest balance of {$2.00} on the Stafford loans. First, the {$2.00} charge is wrong given forbearance, but what about the discrepancy between {$2.00} and {$110.00}? They claim the {$110.00} charge is due to the way I chose to have payments allocated between loans. However, this can't be true because ALL interest was previously paid. If no interest is accruing, and all interest had been paid, how can you back charge me interest with no accounting to show how you got that number? 

This is the second time interest has gone from XXXX to a balance during this forbearance period. You can't continue to back date interest.

In XX/XX/2020 I discovered that my identity had been stolen. Upon reviewing my credit report, I found that there was a charged off credit card. 

I reached out to the credit bureaus to notify them that my identity had been stolen by sending a letter, a police report, filing a complaint with the FTC, and sending a FTC affidavit to all three credit bureaus. All three denied removing the account because they claimed the account was verified by the creditor. None of them gave me an explanation as to why they would not block it nor how they came to the conclusion that it was verified. 

I reached out directly to the creditor and sent the same information letting them know that I had been a victim of identity theft and they refused to remove the account stating that it had been verified. I requested that the provide physical proof of a contract with my signature showing that the debt was mine and show me the method they used to verify the debt but the disregarded my claim. Instead they sent a letter plainly stating that the account was verified. 

Lastly, I followed up with a Notice to Furnishers of Information letting them know that they are only able to report accurate information and must remove the account if it is fraudulent. They again disregarded my claim and have continued to report the account as verified.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased two tickets on XX/XX/XXXX for {$2200.00} in total on my Barclays card for travel on XXXX XXXX ( a/k/a XXXX ) for travel from the USA to XXXX scheduled to commerce on XX/XX/XXXX and returning XX/XX/XXXX. The flights were cancelled by the airline due to the COVID-19 crisis. I requested a refund from the airline and they are trying to force me into a travel voucher. Under a DOT directive, all passengers on flights that involve a US departure or arrival destination that were cancelled due to COVID-19 are entitled to a cash refund of their tickets ( https : //www.transportation.gov/briefing-room/us-department-transportation-issues-enforcement-notice-clarifying-air-carrier-refund ). I have tried to enforce my rights through this DOT decision and Barclays has refused to help. I therefore believe they are violating federal law for not facilitating my dispute with the merchant, who has now filed Chapter XXXX bankruptcy
