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 — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Telerecovery Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX doesn't investigate a fraudulent entry on my credit report. The other 2 credit bureaus have removed it, but XXXX has had 2 chances to clear it up. They just rubberstamp the bad entry from TELE RECOVERY OF LOUISIANA  without proof the account is mine ( it's not ). 

The creditor won't remove it and re-validates it as valid when it is not my debt. This belongs to my wife and her ex. The child is not mine and has not been adopted, I don't have financial responsibility for her and the debt was paid. I have no legal responsibility to pay for the child 's debt and it should be removed from my credit.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, a lump sum payment by the Department of Defense ( DoD ) was made to FedLoan Servicing in the amount of {$31000.00}. As stated on studentaid.gov ( https : //studentaid.govXXXX ) the DoD lump payment exceeded what would have been received over a 12-month period, which would result in 12 payments counted towards the required 120 Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) payments. Since XXXX I have repeatedly tried to get this matter resolved with only a partial number of those payments reflected. To date, only XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX have been counted, while XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX have not counted. 
Following numerous phone calls and escalated case requests, I have come to learn on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, that the reason XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX were not counted was due to the fact that a rule ( not described to me at any point ) is in place where my income recertification month of XXXX negated the remaining DoD Lump sum payments to be counted. I have scoured the Code of Federal regulations, made close to a hundred phone calls to FedLoan Servicing, and reviewed all aspects related to the DoD lump sum payment over the last three years without a single note or rule stating the aforementioned rule. Not a single FedLoan representative mentioned this extremely important rule in the last three years. More importantly, as an XXXX XXXX servicemember, I am not in control or have any ability to influence when the DoD lump sum payment is disbursed towards my student loans. Without any control over those matters, it would seem unfair and dishonest to accept all {$31000.00} by FedLoan Servicing only to curtail the full number of payments that should be counted. 
I have consistently received misinformation and improper guidance from FedLoan servicing over the last three years pertaining this matter and many others for which I will not get into. No phone call is ever the same because the guidance and rules regarding this program has been poorly understood by the service representatives. I am looking for someone to help.

I am dealing with a company called Helbing Law Group ; my Client ID : XXXX.I have a contract of XXXX payments of XXXX per mo. Ending of payment contract states XX/XX/2023. To date they have not paid a single debit off. This came to my attention when I got my tax refund this year and asked for a payoff amount which they wanted XXXX to pay off my contract. This is almost double my contract payoff. I started digging into this more and found not even a single card has been paid off. I am still getting negative marks on my credit report and I just got a lien on my house from XXXX. I called and asked for my money back. They told me basically I would get XXXX back and nothing to show of the XXXX XXXX plus I have already paid them. Here is their information. Can I take them to small claims court? I have plenty of paperwork I can send on request.

Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2020 I received a payout from my homeowners insurance of {$8200.00}. This was for damages caused to my home and out building due to a tornado that touched down less than 20 foot from my home. My roof on my home was leaking, shingles pulled off and my building was missing the doors, tin from the roof and post were knocked from the ground. I didn't ask for {$8200.00} to be issued to me, that was the adjustors choice. Why am I being penalized for using my homeowners insurance? 

The outbuilding is not listed on the claim and I felt it was important for it to be known the total damages was not all on the home.
