Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX, I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to retrieve furniture from a lease to own program. I was told to wait for a call from a manager to have the furniture picked up and lease ended. This never occurred. I was also told that I could not bring the furniture back to store ; it had to be retrieved by XXXX 's. I continued to call XXXX 's over the course of the next four months to have the furniture retrieved, which did not occur. Eventually, I had to move the furniture in order to keep it from being taken by the apartment in which I lived, as my lease ended. Finally, once I told XXXX 's I had moved this furniture, they came to the new address to retrieve it, and reported me as having a paid charge-off on my credit. I spoke with the customer service folks, and was told that they would not investigate the information. If I was to dispute this through the credit bureau, they told me they would simply send it back because they say it is accurate rather than looking the information up and providing the evidence. I have not disputed this with the credit bureaus at this point as a result of what the XXXX 's representative said about not investigating and simply returning it back to the credit bureau.

Company: Equitable Acceptance Corp
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I was initially contacted by a company known as XXXX XXXX and/or Equitable Acceptance who wanted to consolidate my loans. The original conversation was about how they would pay the loan and I would see and instant improvement in my credit score and then I could make one low monthly payment to their company. I am a struggling single mother of XXXX who could use all the help I can get so I signed the needed paperwork and began making payments to this new company, XXXX XXXX. I made payments for about 2 years and recently my original loan company contacted me stating that I was late on my payments. I told them I had been making payments for the past two years, to which she replied " There has been no payments made towards this loan. '' ( I had been in the period between ending school and beginning my first payments due to low income so this is why they were just now reaching out to me. ) I began to question both companies about why I am paying two different companies for 1 loan. I did lots of research online and called to speak with XXXX XXXX XXXX where I was belittled and threatened that if i ceased payments my credit would be negatively affected. The woman I spoke with that day even said to me " What are you now , XXXX XXXX XXXX?! '' once I told her I was trying to research what has happened. Since then I am continuously getting emails and calls threatening my credit and advising me to contact their collection agency.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The problem relates to denying me access to online information about my account. I have had a Citibank Credit Card since XXXX. Recently I fell behind on my payments but and am more than 30 days behind ( for the first time in 11 years ) but less than 60 days behind. I promised to pay on XXXX which is still less than 60 day. This promise is in Citibank 's Data Base. All my statemets are delivered on line and that is how I access my account info. I receive nothing by mail. For some time when I login to the Citibank credit card website I can only see a screen that informs me that I am past due and gives me only the options of setting up automatic payments or paying now. Today, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX i called customer service about this. I was transferred to XXXX ( his Citibank ID number is XXXX ) who supports the website about XXXX EDT. He listended to my concern about not being able to see information about payments or any of my statements. He then went offline and came back to say that since the account was over 30 days past due, online access was denied. He said he could mail me a past statement but could not allow me to see my past statememts or payment info online. Mail obviously would take several days. He then transferred me back to customer service who verbally relayed the information I was seeking from my most recent statement. I told XXXX that it seemed wrong that I would deny access,, since I have no printed statements or anything else in writing from the company. I also pointed out that no other credit card company I deal with does this. If I am past due, they flag it on my homepage on their website, but the functionality of the website is unchanged. He said he was sorry, but that was their policy and he could not change it. He said he would mention my concern to his supervisor. In short, my complaint is that the company cut off electronic access to all information about my account because I was late on one payment in 11 years. This seems arbitray, not customer friendly and costs both the company me and time as I have to wait online for a live person to answer my questions. I think this policy of Citibank 's should be eliminated, to bring them in line with industry norms ( and perhaps banking regulations?? ) Thank you

Company: Convergent Resources, Inc.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
When I closed my account with XXXX in XXXX, I paid them the total due upon closing and they guaranteed that was the final bill, even though it was double my monthly for some long winded reason, I paid it, just to close the account. A few months later they showed this new amount still owing {$110.00} which I have no record or recollection of. This is plain extortion by big corporations like XXXX, holding people 's credit hostage for unjustified and fake collections. This should be removed from my credit report or copy me on the original date and itemized bill for this amount as this is NOT from XXXX, not even close!!!

Company: M.L. Zager P.C.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I originally owed {$1200.00} from a medical debt to XXXX county family services from XX/XX/XXXX. M.L Zager placed a judgement against me in XX/XX/XXXX. I had a fair hearing XXXX re : this matter. The decision from that fair hearing was the administrative law judge was with out subject matter jurisdiction to review the merits of the agencies determination to seek recovery of alleged overpayments, to me this means there was not enough evidence to state The alleged overpayment existed. I have been trying to have ML Zager review this document to addressthe alleged debt. I spoke to XXXX XXXX who is the debt collector for this firm and he refuses to review the information. I even went as far as having the deputy commissioner of XXXX county department of social services contact Them to remove the debt and apparently they told him there was nothing they could do because wage garnishment steps have already been taken. And on top of everything else the debt from XXXX has almost doubled due to fees from ML Zager. I also tried contacting XXXX XXXX to attempt to settle this debt with no effect whatsoever I was told since wage garnishment was sent into action there is nothing he would do for me. I would like to know why they are being so unfair. Just like everyone else I 've had debts before and every debt collector is willing to negotiate to settle a account.I was told by the deputy commissioner of XXXX county that they do not deal with ML Zager any longer because of their cruel and unfair tactics

Complaint narrative:
This collection company is but a multiple number of agencies used by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to collect an alleged debt that is very old based of the letters and credit reports I have. This complaint is related to this company and this complaint. XXXX here on cfpb Consumerfinance.org This written letter should also serve as notice I dispute this alleged debt in its entirety. I am disputing this debt to Phoenix Financial Services LLC dba XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I wish not to be contacted by phone at any phone number, as phone conversations are very inconvenient for me. I wish only to be contacted by letter. XXXX XXXX XXXX has been notified through their agents of my verification requests and my desire to have no contact by telephone. I believe their bouncing of this alleged debt to multiple agencies is their way of skirting their requirements of validation and requirements to cease phone contact. All information provided to me so far has been nothing I can use to verify I owe anyone a debt.

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX. My social security number is XXXX, I have disputed five items on the following credit reports : Experian, XXXX and XXXX. Two of the five were deleted. XXXX XXXX account number XXXX, XXXX account number XXXX, and XXXX XXXX account number XXXX remained. Since XXXX of XXXX, I have repeatedly contacted the aforementioned companies and asked for proof that these accounts belonged to me. Neither of these companies provided me with evidence these accounts belonged to me or how they determined these were indeed my accounts. After not receiving proof that these accounts belonged to me I requested that the erroneous entries be deleted. Neither of these credit bureaus deleted these derogatory entries. Furthermore they never stated how these references were verified. I can only conclude that these credit bureaus are refusing to obey the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which states that all entries must be accurate and verifiable. If I ever signed a retail contract with these subscribers, copies should be provided as proof.
