Consumer complaint received 2018-12-04 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Over the last 3 months I have attempted to secure a personal loan primarily applying online. I have been denied due to excess delinquencies. I believed the responses were an over exaggeration of my credit, as I only have one outstanding debt. On Monday, XX/XX/2018, I once again attempted to secure a personal loan with XXXX   XXXX XXXX XXXX, via telephone and during the the application process I was asked to explain why a number of my accounts were in collections. I currently have one outstanding collection account that I have been attempting to settle. No other active account is currently nor have they been in the past in collections. Technically, I have one account that can be considered delinquent. I checked on my XXXX  account, that is who XXXX XXXX used, so as to dispute any accounts showing errors and there is only one account showing up in collections. The error can not be with the creditor 's. If the creditors were reporting misinformation the credit bureau would be showing that information and it is not. Therefore, the information being transmitted to potential creditors is where the problem lies.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
I put my defaulted loans in rehab through XXXX XXXX and made my 9 on time monthly payments. Navient, now XXXX, says they don't know what happened and that my loans were never rehabbed. Now I'm getting letters that my taxes will be offset because my loans are still in default. Years ago, in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX I was advised to forbear my loans because I couldn't afford the XXXX a month payment. My loans were only for {$25000.00} at that time. I've reached out to Navient and XXXX XXXX to resolve this and they keep telling me to just keep making my monthly payment and eventually the loans will be picked up by a lender. I don't know what to do.

Complaint narrative:
I sent the 3 credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX  Transunion ) 4 letters disputing the items below on my credit report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account.

I want to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must  remove the accounts listed below XXXX XXXX acct # XXXX XXXX XXXX acct # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Hospital acct # XXXX XXXX Credit Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX acct # XXXX XXXX XXXX act # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX acct # XXXX XXXX Transunion and XXXX  has repeatedly ignored my 4 letters sent XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX stating that the items are verified by the company who paid them.

The credit reporting agency must abide by the federal law, and delete these items from my report. With the data breeches the credit reporting agencies have had, I do not trust anything they say.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: CAVALRY INVESTMENTS, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I would like to file a complaint about an account listed on my credit report that was never updated after paying the balance in full to the collection agency assigned to it. I have already tried resolving this directly with the original creditor, the collection agency and XXXX   with no resolution because each organization states it is not their responsibility to report my payment for their own specific reasons stated below : XXXX states that the amount was charged off and the account was closed/sold to Calvary so they no longer report any updates.

Calvary states that although I paid them for this debt, they can not report the payment under XXXX as they are a separate company. 
XXXX  states that their function is only to gather information from the original creditor ( XXXX ) and they have to go by what they say, which is no updates available. 
I understand that I fell behind on past obligations and I am ashamed of myself for those issues. There was a period of time where I had unfortunate circumstances that led me to credit issues but I worked very hard to recover from them and I eventually paid the debt I was responsible for and Ive rebuilt my credit. I did not realize that this account was still showing as unpaid until I was just denied employment because of this outstanding issue. At this point I am begging someone to please report this account as paid. 
The account listed on my credit report is XXXX, the collection agency I paid in full is Calvary Portfolio. I have the letter showing that I satisfied this debt and it is attached to this complaint.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I recently completed a direct consolidation with the Department of Education to enroll in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. After consolidating and beginning payments under the income based payments with XXXX, my loan was transferred to XXXX  XXXX. I was notified that I needed to make a XXXX payment to XXXX, but had already made a XXXX payment to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. It's XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX is still hounding me about the payment I made on XX/XX/XXXX. Additionally, they have required me to reapply for income based loan repayment plan even though I had already completed that process. I have spoken with their customer service representatives about this issue, but they haven't done anything to stop me from being harassed about a payment that I've already made. I expect better service from someone who is profiting from servicing my loan.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I have made on-time consecutive payments on my student loans via EFT bank transfer ( i.e. the company takes my payment automatically ) for the past 4 years, and now suddenly they are saying my account is past due and trying to say I owe over {$1000.00}. 

My payments were around {$310.00} for the past couple of years and then in XXXX they sent an email for me to update my financial statement, which I did, and then for XXXX/XXXX/XXXX the amount taken out of my account was {$510.00}. I assumed they just increased my interest rate and while it was difficult to make the payments I just wanted to keep paying my loans so I didn't contact them. 

Then as of XX/XX/XXXX I'm getting emails and daily phone calls regarding my loans " delinquent status '' and when I log into my account its saying I've missed payments and owe more than double what my usual monthly payment would be. I have all payment history and statements and there is not a single month I have missed since XX/XX/2014. I don't understand how if the company is taking money out of my account automatically I could have underpaid or had a late payment and am now being forced to pay thousands of dollars.
