Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I attended XXXX college from the summer of XXXX through the winter of XXXX to receive an XXXX XXXX. I took out a subsidized loan for XXXX and an unsubsidized loan for XXXX onXX/XX/XXXX Dusing the winter quarter. I have the copies of my paperwork and have paid off the XXXX loan. I keep good records and have no problem paying off what I actually owe. However, over the years I have made payments on loans that end up not being mine and the money has been wasted. It has been reported on all three credit agencies that I have several other college loans outstanding. I am currently paying off a XXXX loan and am one month from it being considered current - even though I have no record of taking out that loan.
I have written all three credit agencies, sent certified letters to XXXX XXXX and the dept. of education on two separate occasions over the last three years, all to no avail. Even though I ask that the debts be proven to be mine or taken off my reports, nothing happens at all. I am dillegently trying to get my credit record taken care of so that I can some day buy a house.
I am reasonably sure that I have figured out what the problem is : on XX/XX/XXXX I signed Voluntary Hardship Forbearance papers ( I have the paperwork for this action ) for the loans I had taken out onXX/XX/XXXX and this date corresponds with some of the outstanding loans. It has been reported that I " took out additional loans '' when in fact, I extended the time period before I needed to start paying my loans off.
I went to XXXX College and got a copy of my transcripts, I was not in school in XXXX so no student loans could have been extended to me at that time. These dates ca n't be a loan taken out by me. I would like help getting all student loans off my records, except what is actually owed by me.

I have had several companies who have continued to report inaccurately on my report regarding account balances. Each account expect for Kohl 's has submitted a manual update to remedy the situation. Kohl 's credit card services refuses to submit an update and infact was hostile we I made the request. I have an audio recording of this interaction and well as my current balance and credit reports showing contradictory information and they refuse to remedy this inaccuracy. I am unable to submit the audio recording because it is over 20 minutes long making it 19 MB which is over your upload limit. It is ofcourse available on request. My images and screenshots prove that i paid my balance and that Kohl 's did in fact report in XXXX but did so inaccurately. I would like to see my balance updated on my credit report retroactively to reflect when it was paid.

Company: HCFS Healthcare Financial Services of TeamHealth
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received a notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) on XXXX XXXX, 2017. It was a bill for medical care in Florida for someone with the same last name but different first name. I called the medical group listed and confirmed that the bill was for an XXXX year old child in Florida. I am XXXX and live in California. The medical group said that they had not provided my name or address to the debt collection agency.
When I called the debt collector and explained to them that this was not my bill they first told me to 'just return the bill '. I 'm not sure how you return a bill. I was also very concerned that this would negatively impact my credit score.
I pushed further and the person on the phone supposedly went to talk to a supervisor. After about a minute she came back on telling me to ignore the bill.
This is either a scam or a very poorly run business. I 'm still concerned that this will impact my credit score. The company provided no information on how they got my address or information.

Everything was suppose to be taken care, but I just received another bill from them and so I called their number and the gal was very rude and kurt with me like this was my bill. I told her that I dealt with this over 6 months ago and did everything with the state like they wanted and it was not my bill and I was a victim of Identity theft.
