Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.

Complaint narrative:
Hi there, I took out student loans with XXXX XXXX which are now services by Navient. Since I started re-payments, my account has been a mess and the payments have been misapplied and I have been defaulted apparently and they have then re-applied them after I have complained. 

Recently, i have looked into this further and they have misapplied my payments throughout XXXX and once they no longer accepted by XXXX debit card for payment as it was deemed a credit card on their system, i was left with no help trying to get payment to them and XXXX options since I do not have a XXXX bank account. I found an alternative to this by using a transferwise.com website to make payment to their lock box account. The representative that helped me set that up in XXXX also confirmed that I should be making a lower payment which i questioned and he confirmed that I should be paying the lower amount. I then found out that all my loans are in default because the amount i was to be paying is incorrect and not covering all loans. I have requested numerous times to have these calls researched and have complained and nothing still has been done. 

I am now in the US for the holidays and wanted to rectify the matter and was just told from their staff they can a request research yet again into the problem but that they could n't take any payment today or help me. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX woman who has had both federal loans which are paid off now and private loans from XXXX XXXX for education in the XXXX and I feel like I am being cheated by Navient with bad information and also with the constant misapplied payments. I am trying to pay these off and probably are in a lucky position where I can make payments every month however I feel that the company are acting illegally and i am being penalized for this. 

I feel that I have no other option other to contact you to complain and to gain advice. I am in the US until the XXXX XXXX and I understand you may receive thousands of complaints from Navient but would really appreciate you getting in touch before I leave the country. The best contact number to reach me on is XXXX. The above I hope is a snapshot of the issue and hope you find it to be of some clarity. 

Many thanks, XXXX XXXX

TransUnion continues to violate the FCRA by submitting unverified information to my credit file without my knowledge. I have recently had an unverified item deleted from my credit file and it was reinserted without my knowledge. The information still has not been validated or verified by the credit reporting agency, yet they have allowed a third party collection agency that is operating Illegally to submit this information to my file. The third party company XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX are both operating illegally because they are not licensed in the State of Texas as a Collection Agency. I have contacted my State Secretary with the names and addresses of the collection agencies that are reporting this information and they are not licensed. I have attached proof. Despite all of these things, this credit reporting agency still reinserts the information to my file without my knowledge, and knowing that it has already been previously deleted for not being valid.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, On or about XX/XX/XXXX I discovered that TransUnion was still reporting an alleged Bankruptcy on my credit report known as : BANKRUPTCY CHAPTER XXXX-FILED, XX/XX/XXXX, {$0.00}, XXXX, FEDERAL DISTRICT, no further information was being reported at that time, no name, no address, no amount, no social security number, no date of birth as required. 

There is NO mentioned whether this alleged Bankruptcy was dismissed or discharged which clearly proves it is an incomplete filing therefore violating both State and Federal Law. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I sent TransUnion a letter ( see attached ) using Certified Mail and not only disputing this erroneous filing I requested validation of where the information came from in the first place and that it be validated with the Court who is the ONLY ones who can legally validate supplying first hand information. 

The response I received from TransUnion was they verified it with XXXX XXXX a 3rd party. I contacted XXXX XXXX and they replied telling me that there is NO information in their system with regard to this alleged Bankruptcy ( see enclosed letter from XXXX XXXX ). It 's important to note here that NONE of the other Credit Bureaus are reporting this erroneous reporting ( see attached Credit Reports from XXXX & XXXX ). 

In the event I need to file a Federal Law Suit in order to get TransUnion to remove this erroneous filing I thought it wise to contact the Federal Bankruptcy Court to see what their policy and procedures are when supplying information to TransUnion and their reply letter to me was very clear that they DO NOT supply TransUnion with any information. 

On XX/XX/XXXX the ( 3 ) main reporting Bureaus, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXXand TransUnion as part of a settlement with several Attorney Generals throughout the Country agreed to insure accurate and complete reporting including, name, address, social security number, date of birth and were ordered to delete any files that were not in compliance. 

Based on all of the above mentioned requirements and based on the fact that there is nothing saying whether this alleged Bankruptcy was discharge or dismissed nor is there a dollar amount which is also required I respectively demand that TransUnion delete this erroneous filing and send me a letter of that deletion for my files. 

Thank you for your kind consideration. 

Respectively, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
You have refused to answer any of the questions. The letter that you received from my wife was from a nasty divorce. Even in the letter which has been subpoenaed from XXXX it admits that her son made the charges. This is against the American Ex press terms. Only people on the card can use it. So everything youve listed isnt correct. 

1. This was fraud. You have not shown me any receipt s that indicate its not fraud.

2. The letter was a year after the case was closed. I was refunded the fraud which you investigated yourself. 

3. I have not made any charges since XXXX 2016. 
4. My wife and I are going through a nasty divorce and she collected half of the refund for the fraud. Knowing the card account is in my name why else would she do this a year later. 
5. Show me proof of all the receipts and signatures. 

6. Youve not answered one question Ive asked from you when this was submitted. 
7. The numbers are all wrong. I was refunded XXXX. You said I owed XXXX and now its XXXX. 

8. My lawyer has subpoenaed the documentation and youre leav8ng me with no choice but to sue for damages. 

9. Respond to one question. FTC clearly states you have 2 billing cycles or 90 days. Answer how this was handled within that time period. 

I want your response to be give to a supervisor because Im XXXX and on the phone you threatened me to ruin my credit if I didnt pay. I fall under the Americans with XXXX act and you know that and thats why youre doing this to me. 



My requested resolutions are as follows -- 1 ) In accordance with the FTC, you have two billing cycles or ninety days, whichever comes sooner, to remove the fraud from my account ending XXXX. You did this and then you turned around nearly a year later and charge me back for a supposedly RESOLVED case because of a letter from my soon to be ex-wife stating now that the charges were valid all because I believe it is due to a nasty divorce situation. 
2 ) I want my account resolved to a {$0.00} balance 3 ) I want the credit reporting agencies that you reported negative information to, to be CORRECTED stating there is no debt on my account and that there is a {$0.00} balance, and have paid as agreed.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have written to the Bureau a total of 4 times. I have stated I had no acknowledgment of this account and was asking for documentation for validation. As of the Fair Credit Act Section 609, the creditor must provide a signed document with my physical signature. If they have said document I would go about that process as necessary. Every letter I have written, the credit bureaus state they have been verified by " Our '' Company, ( Meaning the bureau ). Within my rights of Federal Law section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ) states they must provide me with a form of verification. They have not done so. Who has verified my account, how was it verified, where is my copy of the document. I have been punished for an account I have no acknowledgment on. They continue to sweep this under the rug and it is not right. They are breaking Federal Law by not complying with what is being asked.

They have also written that if I do n't have any more documentation that they will " no longer investigate. '' Im sorry but that is unacceptable. Not ONE account that was listed was verified, shown form of verification, not updated, or taken off my credit report. I have done everything the proper way. I have informed them if they continued to not comply I was going to use my rights and use litigation and get monetary damages under FCRA section 616 & section 617.

Complaint narrative:
I have missed payments listed on XXXX student loans. Each time these so called missed payments have appeared on my credit report, I called the loan department to find out what happened as I was signed up for automatic payments. Each time I called, I was told it was an error in their own system and that the missed payments would be removed. Whenever I tried to call back because the late payments were n't removed, I was told to be patient. I have sent a written request to their credit reporting department, which was denied. I have put in a dispute with the credit beaureus, the results state that the item was fixed, but it still has not been fixed. The missed payments are still there.

Complaint narrative:
I needed to open a account for direct deposit, was unable to as I had no previous account. My daughter had a account with Zions bank which I was able to use to get history, so I was able to open my own account apx. 6 months later at that time, I was to be taken off of her account, we never followed up to make sure it was done. I am not sure when this all transpired as it has been a long time ago. My daughter lost her income and was not able to keep that account, which put it in default. She closed it and filed bankruptcy and the account was included in it, and the bankruptcy was dismissed on XXXX. Jump to XXXX of XXXX I was called as to what I was going to do about this account. The gentleman was very rude in his conversation as I told him it was done through the bankruptcy, that I had nothing to do with that account and since no one disputed the judgment, it was taken care of. Now that I will not talk to him about this, he will reverse my payments that I make and put the money back in my account, if I do n't keep on top of it, my payment will not be made, which could cost me my job as one of the payments he reversed was for my phone, if I do n't have a phone I do n't have a job, company policy. But it could create a lot more issues with my credit. I 've tried to talk with him but the last time, words were said on both sides, and I do n't see any resolution with speaking with him, and my bank said to contact you with regards to this matter, I thank you for your time XXXX
