Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I have been trying to delete a fraudulent account in which I believe was opened by an ex spouse or family member in my name off my Equifax credit report for years now. The account was opened in 2019 with a balance due of {$3200.00}, which is not an account I ever opened. 
I have submitted my proof and information through identitytheft.gov, filed a police report, and disputed this account with both XXXX and XXXX, both which confirmed as true and removed completely from my account. Equifax continues to update my dispute as verified yet has never sent me proof of verification, the steps they took, and especially their compliance with the law and my rights under 15 USC 1681. 
The local police department reviewed security video footage as well as a handwriting analysis to compare signatures and confirmed this was an act of identity theft, Equifax still refused to remove the account which has had an enormous negative impact on my credit report effecting my life greatly. I am appalled at their lack of correspondence, and willingness to help another human being. I was even sent a letter saying they couldnt find my account or identify me as an existing human the same week they verified my dispute as accurate and remained on my credit. I am appalled by this company.

Complaint narrative:
I had paid off an account in the amount of {$270.00} with The Swiss Colony. They said over the phone they would mail me a receipt and I have not received that receipt showing this account is paid for and closed. I have been patient and called them several times and even spoke with a manager. I was told I would receive a receipt in the mail. It has been several weeks and I have not received anything. I would now like an email copy along with a copy sent to me in the mail. In addition to that, I want all items from the Swiss Colony deleted off all my credit reports. This includes XXXX, XXXX and XXXX.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted my final payment in full on Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX to Sallie Mae. The payment continues to being identified as processing on Sallie Mae 's site. This is accruing interest because the processing has not cleared, even though I completed the pay-off amount/final payment. 

I reviewed my bank statement, and the payment has not reached my bank. There isn't a charge at all for the transaction. This is abnormal. I have paid off two other loans from Sallie Mae, and it has never taken this long to process a payment. 


I reviewed my credit report, and they are running checks on it. This is inappropriate, and calls into question their cooperativeness and intent toward borrowers.
