Company: MOHELA
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to contact customer service with " MOHELA ''. The voice prompts are lengthy and unhelpful, and I have found it impossible to speak to another human being about the following issues : - Lowering my payment based on my income and life changes. They are still charging me based on my previous application ( before the 2020 COVID pandemic and the loans being suspended ). I now have a child and a mortgage that should affect the rate. 

- I have still been trying to make payments while attempting to reach them to have my payment lowered, AND THOSE PAYMENTS KEEP BEING RETURNED! There is no issue with my bank or my finances. I have been trying to pay them and they do not accept, and instead send me emails stating that I have missed payments and may go delinquent on my loan. I'm trying to pay them even while these other issues have not been resolved. They emailed me saying I have missed XXXX payments as of XXXX XXXX, but when i check my account, they have on record an accepted payment on XX/XX/XXXX. 

- Prior to XXXX and my loans being transferred to " MOHELA '', I never had a single issue trying to pay my student loans. This incredibly frustrating. To be threatened with loan delinquency despite trying to pay them.

Account info Account name MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMEN Account number XXXX Account type Debt Buyer Responsibility Individual Date opened XX/XX/XXXX Status Collection account. {$2.00}, XXXX past due as of XX/XX/XXXX. 
Status updated XXXX XXXX Balance {$2200.00} Balance updated XX/XX/XXXX Recent payment - Monthly payment - Original balance {$2200.00} Highest balance - Terms 1 Months On record until XX/XX/XXXX I am Challenging Inadequate Documentation : they only provide billing statements or invoices without specific proof, so Im arguing that this is insufficient evidence of the debt. Billing statements alone may not prove that the debt is yours or that they have the legal right to collect on it. And they should have notice identity theft was placed on my account when that information was issued or obtained. Im requesting it be removed immediately. And identify theft was issued on my credit report during the time the card was issued.

Company: American Credit Acceptance, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX and a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX intending to pay {$20000.00} each. Initially, the XXXX was quoted at {$19000.00} but was suddenly increased to {$23000.00} without justification. Despite my reservations, I proceeded with both purchases due to assurances from XXXX representatives about the vehicles condition and their commitment to resolving any issues. 

Shortly after purchase, serious mechanical defects were discovered in both vehicles. The XXXX  dashboard intermittently malfunctioned, making it impossible to read essential metrics like speed. Additionally, there was a persistent coolant system leak, resulting in warnings to park the vehicle to prevent damage. Meanwhile, the XXXX exhibited ongoing tire/rim issues, leading to frequent air pressure loss. I promptly reported these defects to XXXX, contacting both sales representatives and service personnel. 

One crucial conversation involved XXXX, who confirmed on a recorded call that the XXXX did not receive a standard pre-sale repair order and inspection, which is customary for their vehicles. Despite my efforts to cooperate and seek resolutions with XXXX and XXXX XXXX of XXXX, my requests were largely ignored, and responses were inconsistent, leaving me with unsafe vehicles and mounting repair costs. 

To complicate matters further, American Credit Acceptance ( ACA ), which financed the purchases, advised me during multiple recorded calls to withhold payments while disputes with the dealerships were ongoing. Relying on this guidance, I halted payments, only to face repossession of both vehicles on XX/XX/XXXX. This repossession, directly resulting from ACAs misleading instructions, compounded my financial losses and damaged my credit standing. 

In summary, this situation represents a pattern of misrepresentation, failure to disclose mechanical defects, lack of proper inspection, and detrimental financial guidance from ACA. I seek a resolution that includes the return of both vehicles in reliable condition, compensation for financial losses, and credit restoration due to the significant harm caused by all parties involved. I remain committed to providing any further documentation and communication records as evidence of these claims.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
