Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I received a copy of my credit report and I have found the following items listed below to be in error : XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2022 {$29000.00} {$570.00} {$0.00} on XX/XX/2022. 15 USC 1666b ( 4 ) The creditors failure to reflect properly on a statement. If I owe a balance, it should be in the negative, but it isnt, its clearly showing a positive balance. This is a billing error. If there is a billing error, how can a payment be late? As the original creditor, I never authorized or granted permission for this to be reported. But since this is reporting, you need to report the way I state it should be reported. These late payments must be removed. Pursuant to 15 USC 1666b A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.By the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I demand that these items be investigated and removed from my report and I demand that you provide me with concrete evidence and all documentation proving that I am or have been late. I will leave you with this, under 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) you may not furnish a consumer report without the written consent to report anything on my consumer report. No consent is identity theft. I have not given the written consent to report these late payments on my report. Remove all late payments from my consumer report effective immediately.

Complaint narrative:
Ive tried to cancel my membership with Experian several times, and they still have my account locked down unless I pay them {$20.00} to keep the membership. Im unable to access my credit report in any capacity. I just want the free access and theyre not honoring my request, and trying to keep me out of my account unless I pay them for a membership that Ive requested to be canceled numerous times. Its really upsetting and seems like its potentially illegal to not allow a consumer to even log in to their account without paying money for a service that the consumer has asked to cancel.

Company: AMERISAVE MORTGAGE CORPORATION
State: ME

Complaint narrative:
I went with Amerisave to refinance my mortgage without escrow costs, pay off some credit cards. I was told this would be a easy process as my credit score was excellent, I had enough equity in home, They were past difficult after I gave them {$500.00} - my loan officer barely returned my calls, I repeatedly got emails asking for more and more documents and the same documents I have already submitted. I found out through the backdoor that the {$500.00} was subtracted from the closing costs ( I was never told that ). It got so frustrating and my loan officer actually got hostile when I asked questions and said I wouldn't sign documents until I got answers which I never did. They sent me an email asking for proof of a XX/XX/2021 payment on my mortgage. I never made a late payment or missed a payment, Called my current mortgage provider and they had nothing on my account reflecting that. I asked Amerisave to send me copies of the credit reports they received and they said it was illegal. It is not - the Fair Credit Reporting Act lets them send them to you. She also said nothing in her email said anything about a missed or late payment ( which it does ), This company needs a class action lawsuit against them as they have scammed many potential borrowers, asked for documents that are not relevant to the closing. I can't believe I was soooo scammed by this company

Company: CBC Companies, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I called Innovis to add a phone number to my credit report, but they told me I have to mail my request with documentation proving that I own the phone number ( i.e. a phone bill with my phone number, address, name, etc. on it ). This is practically impossible to do for prepaid phone plans which do not provide such bills containing the requested information. They also said a creditor can report a phone number to them, but only one creditor is reporting information to Innovis for me and they're not reporting a phone number. This all wouldn't be so much of a problem if Innovis didn't ask you to have a code sent to your phone number ( that's listed on your credit report ) each time you sign in.

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX After many odds job, in XX/XX/XXXX, I enrolled XXXX XXXX XXXX to learn about XXXX XXXX  with the hope that after graduation I would easily find a good job. My major was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX was forced to close down due to fraud activities in a long period of time, plus the teaching quality and curriculum were too out-dated because of their greed. I was in despair for months. As a student I did not know anything about it until the college closed down. I was completely disoriented for a while. However, I could not let my XXXX years of study go easily. I slowly regained my spirit and determination to complete the program I was studying. I tried to transfer my credits to another college, but I was not able to find any college in XXXX XXXX where I live that would accept me or that I could afford to attend. Finally, I found XXXX XXXX in XXXX that accepts my credits from XXXX XXXX. Because I was almost graduate from XXXX XXXX and able to transfer a large portion of credits from there, I only needed to study online in XXXX year ( XXXX ) to complete XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX program and graduated from XXXX XXXX XXXX 
However, XXXX XXXX teaching quality made my knowledge crippled, plus because of study online I did not have any support in terms of job placement in XXXX XXXX. I went to a lot of interviews, I even got into the 2nd or 3rd round of recruitment, but in the end I still lost to the candidates who graduated from universities around here. In the midst of extreme disappointment, I was hired by XXXX XXXX to work as an XXXX XXXX, a profession that I do until now with a minimum wage and only requires being a high school graduate to work. Nothing good in return to me after XXXX years of study, except that I have to bear big student loans totaled {$39000.00} ( it was much higher and I paid it down ) in which about {$31000.00} from XXXX XXXX and {$8500.00} from XXXX XXXX Eventually, it was my big mistake to transfer credits to XXXX XXXX  but I did not have a second choice at that time. 
Please help me to get all of my student loans discharged or at least {$31000.00} from XXXX XXXX. I simply can not afford to pay these loans due to my salary level and the expenses of living in XXXX XXXX. I am a victim of an unqualified college which was controlled by the Department of Education. 
Thank you for reading this letter. I really hope you will help me get out of this terrible situation. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further questions. 
Note : In XX/XX/XXXX, I already contacted Mohela ( before it was XXXX ) about this matter but I got rejected.
