Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I attended XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX on my post XXXX which is paid for by the Va and they pay my tuition and fees and a housing allowance. The Va department falsely signed me up for financial aid and classes that was never taken and illegally sold my information to XXXX and took out false payments from my state withholdings. This is not the first time they have been charged with fraud. As you can see in account inquiry that is supposed to be my schedule where I withdrew all my classes but one and got a U in one out of 4 which is a class from XXXX. They they aggressively came after because I was a XXXX veteran and had ties to the Va to falsely accuse me of failing a class to look like I took it twice and failed. In enrollment form you can clearly see where they falsified fasfa enrollments. I am definitely going to sue

Experian was sent a dispute by me on XX/XX/2024 for the item XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ORIGINAL CREDITOR - XXXX XXXX XXXX  AMOUNT XXXX. I sent in an identity theft form fully filled out with all the imformation along with all of my identifying documents. EXPERIAN REFUSED AND DENIED MY BLOCK REQUEST. this is becoming a pattern for experian to not properly investigate my claims and block my requested item within 5 days of the id theft dispute. Experian sends me notices every time i submit a id theft report which is attached below, thats states they are denying my request. Even after multiple disputes both mail and online, multiple phone calls and 3 or more id theft reports EXPERIAN refuses to honor this goverment document and is still allowing this company access to my personal credit file after i requested this company be blocked and all reporting cease immediately. Recently on XX/XX/2024 EXPERIAN recieved my 4th dispute via certified mail along with an ID THEFT REPORT TO BLOCK THE ABOVE MENTIONED ITEM. IT HAS BEEN ONE WEEK AND EXPERIAN HAS NOT BLOCKED ITEM PER FEDERAL LAWS, AND THEY HAVE NOT HONORED THE FTC ID THEFT REPORT ONCE AGAIN. INSTEAD EXPERIAN HAS INITIATED ANOTHER 30-60 DAYS DISPUTE ON THE ITEMS, TREATING IT AS IF IT IS A NORMAL DISPUTE AND IT IS NOT IT IS IDENTITY THEFT. MY FCRA LAWS ARE BEING VIOLATED AND ALSO MY PRIVACY IS BEING VIOLATED. I REQUESTED A METHOD OF VERIFICATION OF VERIFIED ITEM AND I WAS TOLD BY EXPERIAN THAT THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION, INTENIONAL NEGLECT, AND WILLFUL VIOLATION OF FCRA 611.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Resurgent Capital has never validated the debt they claim against me. It has been over a year of me asking to prove the debt is valid. They have sold the debt after it was removed from my credit for them never being able to validate it, yet buy it back from one of the multiple smaller firms they own. ( They are the parent ) they have had it in a loop of their own companies to keep it active when disputes proved they must legally drop it. I have no documents from them even after 9 individual requests, and many disputes. This is 100 % illegal, and they use the grey area of selling it off to one of their own smaller companies to keep the stain alive. Im getting calls from 6-8 different companies on the debt they claim is mine. All companies are working with resurgent in a ring so the moment you dispute they sell the debt back and forth. This is entirely illegal, and needs to be off my credit and others credit immediately.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sold Consumers account to XXXX. At the time XXXX purchased this account, the balance was {$10000.00}. Consumer was given notice by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of the assignment of the account and the balance due. Shortly after the assignment, XXXX sent a letter notifying Consumer of the assignment to XXXX and its internal account number XXXX. This account was just recently acquired by XXXX. Validation will be sent promptly. Additionally, the case cited by Consumer has nothing to do with purchased debt as suggested. Based on the foregoing, XXXX is closing this complaint. 


This entire statement is false, seeing as there is an active cease and desist in place with XXXX XXXX. By law they can not contact me. I also requested from XXXX the following information. 
Under the FDCPA, consumers have the right to request verification and disclosure of debt information, including the amount paid for the debt. Here are relevant sections : 1. 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( a ) ( 1 ) : Debt collectors must provide, within 5 days of initial communication, a written notice containing : - The amount of the debt. 
- The name of the creditor. 
- A statement indicating the debt is assumed valid unless disputed. 
1. 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) : Consumers can request verification of the debt within 30 days of initial communication. Debt collectors must provide : - Validation of the debt. 
- The amount paid for the debt ( if requested ). 
1. 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( c ) : Debt collectors must cease collection activities until verification is provided. 

To exercise your rights, submit a written request to the debt collector via certified mail, requesting : - Verification of the debt.

- Disclosure of the amount paid for the debt. 
Itemization of charges is not verification of debt. Please send documentation containing my wet signature.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I established a HELOC with US Bank. I have XXXX loans under this line of credit. 
I called to unlock and relock all XXXX loans under a lower interest rate and was instructed to do this online. As instructed, I unlocked and relocked all three loans seperately with estimated payments to be approximately {$300.00} less monthly than previous. I later discovered instead of following my instructions, US bank unlocked the XXXX loans and consolidated it into one and did not relock at the interest rate at the time. Upon discovering the error when payment was due, I calling US Bank and was initially told they had no records of my accessing my account and making these changes, only to later be informed there was a problem with the online system and that they would recitify the problem manually. Some time later, there is no resolution, and my monthly payments have jumped over XXXX monthly than what payments were at the higher interested rates. This is fraud and gross incompetence.
