Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I obtained a bar study loan in the amount of {$20000.00} from AES on XX/XX/XXXX with a fifteen year repayment plan. I have been paying on this loan each month for over 16 years. My payments are and have always been auto-drafted from my bank account by AES. According to AES ' records, I have paid {$11000.00} in interest and {$19000.00} in principal, yet AES says I still owe {$7900.00}. Additionally, the AES Tax Statement for the year XXXX shows I paid no interest, which isn't even what AES 's own records show. 

The Loan Details page on AES website states the repayment term is 48 months and the loan will be paid off on XX/XX/XXXX, four years from XXXX of XXXX AES appears to be refinancing the loan with every interest hike and unilaterally extending the repayment term. This allows AES to make more and more interest on this loan. Each time the interest rate increases, my monthly payment increases, so I shouldn't have a long repayment term as a result AES also appears to at the same time capitalizing interest onto the loan balance when I am making payments.

I am not the only person I know dealing with fraudulent application of payments by AES. When you call, you can not get a person who can even understand what you are questioning.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Company: T.S. Holdings
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I received a collection notice from the company on XX/XX/XXXX. This was my first notification that I had any outstanding debt/a collection account outstanding. When I asked, they stated that they had sent " multiple letters '' ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ) but that all of the prior letters had gone to my previous address- the address for the apartment complex that was claiming I had unpaid charges at move-out and which was clearly not my address any longer. I did have mail forwarding for that address for 6 months after moving out. Further, I did not receive any phone calls ( I have had the same phone number for the past 10 years ). I was shocked to have received a notice like this 5 years later. Upon contacting them to settle the account, I noted that their letter stated that my account was currently being reported to the credit reporting agencies. Upon asking this question, they stated that they hadn't reported this to the agencies yet ( which makes sense, since I pull my credit annually and did not see anything about this debt ). When I told them I wanted to settle for the 40 % of the balance offered in the letter that they sent, they stated that if I did that, they would then report this to the credit bureaus for paying less than the full amount due and it would negatively impact my credit unless I paid the full amount of the balance. 

When I asked why I would have to do this and why they would report my account to the credit bureaus and harm my credit, even though they hadn't made any reports to the bureaus for the past 5 years, they stated it was " what they are allowed to do by law ''

Complaint narrative:
Experian, XXXX, and XXXX are reporting incorrect information on my credit report. I have tried to remedy this numerous times to the point of no avail. I do not believe that the credit reporting agencies are taking consumer complaints seriously. The account that I am demanding to be removed from my credit report is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I do not owe this company anything and I do not have an account with them. The original creditor that I have an agreement with is XXXX XXXX XXXX and I will attach the documents. Also, the amount that XXXX XXXX is reporting is not correct. The correct amount that the original creditor gave me is {$8400.00} so why are the credit bureaus allowing incorrect information to report on my credit report? Also, this account has been re-aged and should not be reporting according to FCRA. The account I had with XXXX XXXX  was in XXXX. Please remove this account from my credit report due to inaccurate reporting and non-compliance with FCRA. Please see the attached dispute letters I have sent over 4 months ago.
