Issue: Getting a loan — Can't qualify for a loan
Company: Windham Professionals, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from a collection agency. I did not recognize the debt and called to find out what this was for. I was told it was from the Dept of Ed. I told them that I did not have any outstanding debt. I requested proof. They mailed me a copy of some application. I wrote a letter in return stating that the name signed on that application was not mine. The ss # was not mine. The date of the application shows that I was a minor at that time. I never heard back from them. 
This year of XX/XX/XXXX, I was waiting for my Federal Income Tax Refund which was delayed. I called the IRS to find out where it was. I was informed that it was taken by Windham Professionals Collection agency.

Company: Credit Protection Association, L.P.
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
I had XXXX service for television, internet, and phone in a townhome I owned in XXXX. I sold that property to move into a XXXX, XXXX in XXXX, IA. I contacted Moving Matters, a moving company that specializes in moving seniors into retirement communities. They pack, help downsize, and their designers set up your apartment in the community. I had a cable box, modem and all the hookups needed for the above service. I assumed it was all packed and taken to the XXXX. I checked with the moving company and they said their records showed all items moved as promised. However they told me I would not have needed a cable box at XXXX as the cable was sourced through XXXX. If a resident had a flat screen no cable box was needed. I know I was using the same modem as I used in XXXX or one very similar. ( Model Name-XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) I lived at XXXX very close to a year and for personal reasons decided not to stay after my grace period of 365 days. In all the time I lived there I was never asked about the cable box or any of the equipment issued to me in XXXX. I still maintained the internet and phone so XXXX had my address and contact information. 

I had lived in XXXX for at least four or five months when I got my first collection letter. This letter was my first knowledge of this debt. 
Date XX/XX/XXXX ; Original Creditor-XXXX ; Account # XXXX I have the Modem ( Model Name-XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) in question and a HDMI cable that is XXXX 's I think. I do n't know what happened to the cable box from XXXX. Common sense tells me it was in my apartment when XXXX set up my XXXX system. I was not missing anything other possessions that I had marked for the moving company. 

I have several problems with this claim. 

1. If it is customary to return these items and the information I received with the present system made it clear that is the case, why was I not asked for the XXXX Cable box, Modem and other hardware when I left XXXX? 

2. What was used to hook up my system in XXXX? I would like to see the records of the installation in XXXX to check the Serial # of the modem used against the serial # of the modem installed in XXXX. 

3. Did the installers see the XXXX cable box when they hooked up XXXX. XXXX has assured me that XXXX does all the installation. 

XXXX only handles the equipment they use to distribute the signal. So their technicians would not been involved in my apartment set up. 

4. Why was I not notified of this debt before it got to collection?

Company: ACS Education Services
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Agency, I write to report the predatory Student Loan repayment practices of ACS/XXXX. 

My Federal Stafford Loan payment is due on the XX/XX/XXXX of each month. 

I made a XXXX payment ( nearly XXXX dollars more than the required monthly amount ) for XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX The {$150.00} payment was then scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX ( please see attachment ). 

However, ACS/XXXX did not process XXXX payment amount until XX/XX/XXXX, and charged me a {$5.00} dollar monthly late fee. 

This has happened several times with ACS, and is not only unacceptable but unlawful. 

When I called and asked for a credit for this monthly fee, I was informed that, although I had paid in advance, there was nothing ACS/XXXX could do, and they further indicated I will need to make my monthly payment even more days in advance to prevent them from egregiously charging me inexplicable fees. 

Please help. 

Respectfully, XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
ATTN : Legal Department, This is a notice of dispute pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), section 623, subsection ( 8 ) ( D ). The basis for my dispute is that, as I understand the code, your office was required to notify me, in writing, prior to, or no later than 30 days after furnishing any negative information to the consumer credit reporting, that such information was being furnished. This notification is required under the FCRA, section 623, subsection ( 7 ) ( A ). To date, I have not received any documentation in compliance with this section. 
I am requesting that you provide me with proof of notification, i.e. a copy of the actual notification sent, and proof that it was delivered to me in a timely manner. 
If you can not provide proof of notification and date of receipt then you can not substantiate that you complied with the procedures required under the FCRA. In which case, the continued reporting of negative information to the credit reporting agencies in connection with the aforementioned accounts may constitute the reporting of false information, causing damage to my reputation and future credit worthiness. 
To resolve this situation, I ask that you investigate this matter, and modify the accounts accordingly. I also ask that you inform the appropriate credit reporting agencies of your actions, and ask that they make the proper updates to the accounts at issue. 
It is my understanding that the FCRA 623 ( 8 ) ( E ) ( iii ) establishes a time-frame for these issues, and that section 621 of the FCRA supports my request in this matter. I have also requested the guidance and support of the Attorney General 's office. The items that appear on my credit report as : 1. ACCOUNT NAME : XXXX ACC BAL : {$0.00} This account has is under legal dispute and still listed as open error please delete inaccurate. 
2.ACCOUT NAME : XXXX ACC BAL : $ XXXXThis account is under dispute, there is no judgment on file. Please delete error. 
3. 
Again, I expect every part of this listing on my report to be individually verified as accurate or the entire item should be deleted.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I paid off a loan in 2 years vs. 5, my credit score went down XXXX points. I have never missed a payment. Only had one late payment in 2014 ( less than 30 days ). These Credit companies are misusing the credit reporting system. When you look at what a XXXX is made from, it states nothing about paying off loans to quickly, hurting your score. I guess companies loose money on the interest, if they are paid too quickly, so they feel spiteful? I am also annoyed with the amount of promotional inquires on my credit report. They are all unauthorized.

Complaint narrative:
I have contacted Transition and XXXX. I asked them repeatedly to validate the debt by providing the third party who supplied the information concerning my state tax lien. I ask that they verify with the courts my name, address, date of birth, social security number, status, date of last activity, and the amount. I am confident that their entity did not investigate the matter with any court because I have visited the courts in my county and not one has any evidence anyone has appeared in person and requested my information. Each instance they responded by stating the debt is valid. I requested that they provide me with proof of their validation and they have refused. They are harming my way of life by negatively impacting my consumer report. I can not close on my house because of the information they keep reporting. I supplied information as they requested. However, they refuse to supply information I am requesting.

I felt I had no choice but to persue a complaint to stop this. I just do n't know who can help and they refuse to give me an address to send a certified letter. Also this was done on line and I have no access to the paperwork either, I asked them to mail a copy to me and they refuse.

Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I had XXXX SallieMae loans from my XXXX degree, XXXX of the loans were issued between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I paid off XXXX to SallieMae, and XXXX was later turned over to XXXX. I was fortunate to be able to make payments on time ( to XXXX ), however, I did find that when I came to my very last payments, when I would pay what was supposedly the final amount, the payment would take longer to go through. By the time it would be processed, the loan would have accrued more interest ( and I would thus still have more to pay ). It happened with both SallieMae and XXXX. The first time, I did n't know this, so after waiting a couple of weeks and not yet receive any sort of notification that my loan had been closed out, I checked again and saw that I had accrued somewhere around {$15.00} or {$20.00} worth of interest. I paid this off and the same thing happened again, however, I was able to catch it, and eventually close out the student loan with SallieMae. The same thing happened with the XXXX loan, however, I paid more attention and was able to prevent the lingering amount from compounded as much. Nonetheless it was massively frustrating and made it QUITE clear that neither company has any interest in its customers actually paying off their loans.
