Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted XXXX to make my XX/XX/XXXX payment, I initially attempted to make the payment by phone but I ended up speaking with a customer representative, I gave authorization to make the XXXX payment with her, at the end of our convo she asked if I wanted the confirmation #, I was not where I could take it down so I said no. On or around XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX stating they were making a negative entry to my credit report. I called XXXX  and spoke with a Rep that said she didn't see any notes regarding a convo on XX/XX/XXXX, I told her that if the company pulled the recording of the conversation using my phone # they could hear that I authorized payment but the rep didn't post it, the payment authorized on XX/XX/XXXX didnt post, she said she'd investigate and get back to me, on around XX/XX/XXXX, I called back, got another rep who said he didn't see anything about an investigation but he'd set it up and at this time I made the payment that was due XX/XX/XXXX, I also inquired about XXXX correcting my credit report since the rep didn't post the authorized payment and he said he'd ask supervisors if it can be corrected. Sometime in early XXXX, I received a call from XXXX XXXX relations, I forgot the name of the representative and told my story again, he too said he'd check with management about correcting my credit report. I reached out to him few weeks later and he told me that nothing he could do the report was correct. I have disputed twice with the credit bureau and they sent a letter saying the 30 day late stands the account is being reported correctly. All I am asking XXXX to do is review the conversation I had with the rep on XX/XX/XXXX, verify why she didn't post the payment, and correct the report because if the rep had applied payment on the XX/XX/XXXX the account would not be 30 days on XX/XX/XXXX and my report would not have been impacted.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX is the name of the business based out of Virginia, yet I get calls every single day from around the U.S. These are not from their designated other locations and they use a different phone number every single time. You block it, they call you from another fake location. Starting from the most recent : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX, IL, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, MA, XXXX XXXX, CA, XXXX XXXX Kentucky. They have called me from four different locations, four times in the past seven days. When you answer the phone, they very clearly are some scheme because they hang up after ten seconds of silence, every single time, and it is under the guise of attempting to collect debt if you ever call the number back, if it doesnt say the line is disconnected.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX of 2022 I was contacted by XXXX XXXX from # XXXX and he stated he worked for XXXX XXXX XXXX and was calling me to settle my XXXXt loans at {$0.00} for only XXXX total processing fee. He set me up on a payment plan of XXXX starting XX/XX/2022. He said he had access to my XXXX  loan account to start the process of handling my debt relief so I taught hey maybe he is legit. So he took XXXX from me until in XXXX I noticed something fishy and immediately reported my credit card as fraudulent activity. When I tried contacting XXXX at that phone number it will send me straight to voicemail and that's when I felt that I had completely gotten scammed. What I don't understand is how did he get access to my XXXX  loan information. His email was XXXX with an IP XXXX. The action I took was to report the problem to my XXXX loan servicer as a scam. Please put my story out there so nobody else has to go through this. Thanks for listening to me.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a vanity from XXXX XXXX on the credit card in XX/XX/2021. I ended up returning the vanity. I got billed a XXXX $ balance so I called to see what it was and they said I was charged a late fee and they would take it off. I was told my balance was XXXX XXXX The next month I was charged a late fee again. I called and they said it was a mistake and they would take it off. This continued to happen every month. In XXXX i closed the account in hopes the late fees would stop accruing but it didn't work. Every month I called and XXXX XXXX would tell me it was a mistake and they would take it off and the next month I would get charged a {$29.00} late fee. When I called in XXXX I was begging the representative to let me talk to someone that could help me because merely just removing it every month wasn't working. She finally figured out that every month I was charged a XXXX $ late fee I was also charged a {$2.00} interest fee that the other representatives were not removing. She promised me this would work. In XXXX i got a balance of {$25.00} which I was unsure of where that amount came from but it was low enough that I just paid it in frustration because I was tired of calling. That finally worked and I stopped getting fees. My credit score dropped over XXXX points over this and I disputed it online but nothing changed.
