Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I've been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report since XX/XX/2021. I keep sending multiple sets of letters to the bureaus and the creditors so the excuse of " we didn't get it '' doesn't happen. Furthermore, each letter is certified mail with tracking and each letter shows signed and delivered and yet the bureaus are still not taking any actions. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The accounts always show up with different name variations and different account number variations and yet the bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the account claim to be mine. Not only have I not received any mail showing the verifiable proofs needed to justify the accounts to be on my report, I haven't even received any letters at all stating the investigations have begun. Per the FCRA and federal law, the process is supposed to be 30 days. 130 days later, I'm still here shelling out money for certified mail with no end in sight and no results to show. This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensations and damages incurred. Finally, it seems that when these complaints are submitted, the bureaus are using the excuse that they " can't confirm my identity '' to get away with taking no actions on my credit report. Please investigate this as well.

In XX/XX/XXXX bank reported him 30-days-late. 5 months later in XX/XX/XXXX after being married in a month before in XX/XX/XXXX he added me as an additional authorized user.

Complaint narrative:
The issue as I understand it is Care Credit Master Card has applied my payments FIRST to " Promotional Balances, '' which allow 6 months to pay without interest, rather than on " Standard Purchases, '' which if not paid within the month, accrue interest charges. I have made telephone calls on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX XXXX, without resolution. I asked that my payments be applied to " Standard Purchases '' first, to avoid interest charges. Instead, the interest charges have increased to {$41.00}. I am sending a letter to Synchrony Bank, detailing the conversation with various service customer representatives.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
HI LVNV FUNINDG / RESURGENT CAPITAL ; Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I started trying to contact University Accounting Services on XX/XX/XXXX with regards to 2 student loans from XXXX XXXX account name : XXXX XXXX XXXX, although my name at present is XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX : XXXX ). I became aware that these loans were STILL not paid due to a background investigation that was being done by my new employer, XXXX XXXX. I was advised by the XXXX ( in charge of my background investigation ) that, in order for my clearance to be granted and to continue my employment, I needed to contact UAS to set up a payment plan and make the equivalent of 3 months worth of payments. It needs to be noted that setting up the aforementioned payment plan is made significantly more difficult by the fact that the loans are as old as they are. Initially, UAS didnt seem to have a clue about how to proceed with this. After a couple of weeks, it was determined I needed to file a rehabilitation deferment application before a payment plan could be set up. I was sent the wrong form, contacted UAS again and requested the correct form, but never received it. After multiple calls about the form, it was determined a rehabilitation app had been filed on my behalf, but, yet, no one had bothered to TELL me this, causing me to waste my time trying to figure this out. I have sent multiple emails to a representative by the name of XXXX XXXX, asking for an update and, yet, have received nothing. On yet other calls to UAS Ive been told that I needed to set up the payment plan with my XXXX mater, XXXX, NOT them, which is incorrect. This whole situation is a HUGE mess. Trust me when I say I have provided the " summarized version '' here. At this point, I can do nothing to resolve this until UAS gets their act together
