Complaint narrative:
I sent a dispute letter to XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX  asking to 1 ) prove negative remarks reported on my credit report and IF proven true to make a goodwill adjustment and remove negative remarks. I received a corresponding letter dated XX/XX/XXXX  stating that " After reviewing our records, we find that we are unable to make any adjustments to your payment history ''. While I do understand that the creditor is under no obligation to grant a goodwill adjustment, XXXX failed to acknowledge my other requests with this response. 

I responded to this later on XX/XX/XXXX  ( mailed on XX/XX/XXXX  ) reiterating my original requests to 1 ) validate these late payments and 2 ) to provide me with written confirmation of the steps taken to investigate my dispute. Their initial vague and short response led me to believe that they did not taken my initial claim seriously and failed to validate said negative remarks AND did not follow through with providing me with written steps they took to investigate my claim. I have yet to receive any correspondence from them since my letter and therefore, I believe that my rights are being violated and my claim was not properly handled. I have attached ALL correspondence between XXXX  and I since my initial dispute as well as the mail receipt of the final letter that was sent.

Ive written multiple letters to the credit bureaus ( XXXX, TRANSUNION, XXXX ) pleading with them to be removed. By the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I demand that these items be investigated and removed from my report.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: OneMain Finance Corporation
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I called to make a payment towards the principle of the loan.

I was advised that principle payments MUST be made via check or money order, in person or through the mail.

I complied. I sent money orders but on more than one occasion

USPS stated the money order was delivered but One Main Financial did not apply the payment to my account. I had to call to follow up. Each time the person stated she just received the mail but I told her it said delivered the day ( s ) before. Upset by the inconsistency I called One Main Financial customer service line NOT the branch. I made a payment towards the principle. No problems the payment was taken and applied to the principle.
I called two more times to make principle only payments but

these time the payments were applied to interest. I called both times to get the payment applied correctly. The first call was fine. I advised of the error the rep took steps to move the payment. I was directed to call the customer service as they made the error they should fix it. I called customer service the representative advised me that the payment was made to the principle. I told her that was not true. She transferred me to another rep in branch. That rep advised me that she wasnt going to do this every month. And that I was told that I must mail the payment or take the payment to the office. I told her everything listed above. The fact that I would have to follow up to make sure they applied the payment and the impracticality of me dropping off a payment. She refused to accept responsibility. She mean and unhelpful. I asked her who is her governing body. She did not answer. I asked who does One Main Financial answer to. She never supplied the I info. To make matters worse One Main Financial reported an increase to my balance owed causing a significant drop in credit score. Im actively disputing the info.
