Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have multiple creditors reporting inaccurate information on my credit report. I have disputed these inaccuracies with the credit bureaus for almost a year since I began in XX/XX/XXXX. The credit bureaus have eliminated some inaccuracies, but there are over 5 creditors on my report in collections and reporting accounts. These creditors have been discharged through bankruptcy court and some are just not mine. The bankruptcy has been removed from my credit report, but some creditors still remain even though they have not submitted any new information to the bureaus since XX/XX/XXXX. This information is hurting my score thus preventing me to get approved for a mortgage which is crucial at this point. I have contacted the creditors and they have stated that they removed it from their files, but the credit bureaus have to do it also on their end.

Complaint narrative:
The following is copied from the email I sent to XXXX : I recently received notice from my consumer reporting agency that my credit score dropped thirty points. When I logged in to see what happened it shows that the decrease was due to reporting from XXXX. I need XXXX to correct this mistake. I have my payments automatically deducted from my checking account so I'm not sure what XXXX is reporting. I recently called and the woman I spoke with said my payment was late. I asked her how my payment could be late when my payments were automatically deducted and I have not missed a payment. She said she would change my due date to which I expressed my concern. I told her that every time XXXX messed with my account something would get screwed up and here we are. I want this error corrected immediately. I am sending a copy of this correspondence to the Consumer Protection Bureau to file yet another complaint against XXXX! I want this resolved immediately and as well as a prompt reply letting me know this error is being corrected.

Complaint narrative:
This company has made repeated attempts to collect a debt I do not know. And the fair debt collection that they are required to disclose their burden of proof in regards to the debt and I have after several request received nothing. XXXX XXXX calls me nearly 3 times a day and has for sometime now making threats of lawsuits etc. and I dont even know what I owe it for. 

Please provide all original paperwork for XXXX account and all necessary disclosure items proving that I owe the debt. The fact that XXXX buys credit debt for pennys on the dollar does not constitute proof enough to falsely ruin my credit.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
My issue is regarding synchrony bank. I had an account go into charge off status due to the XXXX of my grandparents causing me to fall behind on payments. I spoke to a nice woman about 2 months ago who told me since my account was paid in full, that it could be deleted. I received my letter from the company stating that my account is paid in full. But have not yet received my deletion letter as promised. After numerous phone calls and attempts to get my letter, they told me " there is nothing more they can do for me and I have to figure it out ''. As soon as I found out my account went into charge off status i immediately paid the balance and i feel extremely disappointed that this company is just making me go in circles without giving me my letter that I was promised. And giving me false information that my account would be deleted if they didn't plan on doing that.

Complaint narrative:
I have received multiple calls from both a local number ( XXXX area code ) as well as calls from the XXXX area ( XXXX area code ). I have answered and spoken with the representative to request a cease of contact and have been still receiving calls. I have worked tirelessly over the past several years to satisfy all outstanding debts and collection accounts and have pulled my full credit report multiple times. The debt in question is posted on my credit report as " legally paid in full for less than original amount '' which should have ceased collection. I have notified the collection company " XXXX XXXX '' that the debt has been settled and to please stop calling me. Phone calls have been from XXXX and XXXX over the past 2 weeks. Even after telling them that the amount has been satisfied, they say I still owe over {$7000.00} for Citi Financial. Only remaining collections on my account are XXXX overdue bill and XXXX XXXX overdue bill ; both have been paid and satisfied.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am on a repayment plan that requires me to renew my loan every 6 months. I began calling in XX/XX/XXXX to renew my rate reduction plan. I called a total of 3 times and each time was directed to call back later in the month, or the following month. The last time I called, which was in the beginning of XX/XX/2018, I was told I did not have a payment due in XX/XX/XXXX. I was told then to call back again in XX/XX/XXXX to renew my rate reduction plan. 

In the beginning of XX/XX/XXXX, I began receiving calls from Navient ( but they never left a message, so I didnt realize my loan was past due ). On Friday XX/XX/XXXX I logged on to the Navient website to download my tax form and saw that my loan was past due which didn't make any sense since I was told I didn't have a payment due in XX/XX/XXXX. 

I spoke to Navient today, and I was given two options : I could go into forbearance for the last payment, or I could pay the past due amount today. Since I live paycheck to paycheck due to my large amount of school loan payments, the previously allocated payment money went towards other expenses. 

I don't think I should have to pay extra capitalized interest on a mistake that was not mine. I made several attempts to keep my account in good standing and to renew my payment plan. I have not missed any payments or paid late in several years. I'm doing my part.
