Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, a fraudulent credit account was opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX under my name. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a complaint with Experian to remove it from my credit report. Experian did not remove it, as they claimed that XXXX XXXX XXXX said the account was valid. I did not open this account. Do I need to file a police report for identity theft? I filed a police report last year ( XX/XX/XXXX ) because someone was trying to open credit in my name.

Company: Financial Data Systems
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX initially was trying to collect on a medical bill that was paid, and they placed a collection on all 3 credit bureaus. All 3 was deleted and they reInserted the line. Again XXXX and XXXX deleted the bogus item. I am enclosing the documents. As for XXXX they will not, even though they are reporting the account as being DELIQUENT as of XX/XX/XXXX .... but the catch here is my XXXX was on XX/XX/XXXX. As confirmed by XXXX XXXX, this account wasnt delinquent and the bill wasnt generated until XX/XX/XXXX. So for this medical bill ... before my insurance could settle up .... 3 months and 14 days later they are reporting it as a collection account. With the new laws I was under the impression we had up to 6 months to get the situation taken care of because of the insurance companys protocol. Again this is there 2nd time inserting this on my credit file. Please remove this collection asap..!! Thanks in Advance

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

Complaint narrative:
After graduating from XXXX in 2005, I accumulated around {$20000.00} in student loans. 13 years later and making payments for years and years on time my balance is now {$15000.00}!!!

How can that be?

Right after graduating I was struggling to pay the entire monthly payment and they automatically directed me to forbearance. I wonder if thats the reason.

Navient website right now is set in such a way that it still directs people to programs that lowers monthly payments. I want to pay more to get rid of this evil loan that never seems to disappear.

Since I graduated I paid off 3 cars!!! So why is this loan not going away??

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Despite repeated disputes and calls to all 3 credit bureaus, each account reporting with each bureau is in violation of my rights under the FDCPA. Bankruptcy account filed by myself as well as my ex-husband is reporting inaccurately as Chapter XXXX, and keeps verifying as accurate despite submitting documents showing correct Chapter XXXX filing, and now too old to remain on file. Have called bankruptcy court, told they do not report to bureaus? Also told by both XXXX  and XXXX XXXX that debt re-aging is not illegal, when it is, while article discussing re-aging currently on homepage, accounts that arent mine repeatedly verifying as accurate, despite calls to original creditors verifying i do not have an account on their files, state tax lien appearing on only one report illegally, and medical bill balance steadely increasing a few dollars at a time, lowering credit score further with each occurence. And also not my account. Unable to apply for SBA loan until these violations are removed ; ex-husband can not afford a new much needed car loan as well, due to low credit score resulting in unaffordable rates.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
My complaint against PayPal Inc. is such a very doable action as far as I am concerned. This was just not given attention regardless of the numerous contacts, emails and calls done. PayPal, has put a permanent limitation to my account XX/XX/XXXX when it has unwithdrawn funds yet amouting to more or less XXXX XXXX. I received an email last XX/XX/XXXX stating that my money is now eligible for withdrawal. Now, its XX/XX/XXXX and I havent gotten the chance to enjoy my own money because it is not in my own hands that lies the ability to adjust the limitations set on my account which one of those it to withdraw money from my account which up to know shows under the restricted actions that I am not allowed to perform which then hinders me as well to add a bank account a XX/XX/XXXX card and is denied to me several times by supervisors on their Limitations Team stating that their front end agents are LIARS because they informed almost everyone about adjustments done when an account is limited and withdrawal needs to be done. Well, what can I say? I know their limitations Team may not exceed a number of adjustments per day or their metrics are gon na be suffering.

Company: Diversified Consultants, Inc.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Just as of last week I was interested in checking my credit score. So I went to XXXX and I saw that I had 1 derogatory mark on my credit report. I noticed that it was XXXX. I was a XXXX customer over two plus years ago, I had a two year contract. I had a monthly phone bill that I paid every month on time until I fell into a financial hardship at the end of my two year contract that caused me to miss and not pay, from what I can remember which was my last two phone bills. I was unaware of my remaining balance that I owed XXXX for my last two missed monthly payments. I never received a bill in the mail and I never received an email because I opted out of paperless mail. XXXX sent my last two payments I missed to a collection agency for the purpose of collection. I never received a bill in the mail for the balance that I owed on my XXXX account. I'm actually glad I checked my credit score because I would have never noticed that I still owed XXXX. I would like to become a XXXX customer again very soon because XXXX has a certain phone that I'm interested in buying soon and no other carrier has that phone available. In order for me to become a XXXX customer again I need to pay my remaining balance off.
