Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a complaint with this company due to previous disputes about a inaccurate dismissed bankruptcy reported on my credit report with Transunion, XXXX and XXXX in the amount of {$0.00}, which dates disputed with Transunion were XX/XX/XXXX,  XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX were XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX. As of XX/XX/XXXX the new law stated that all new judgements and liens will not go on credit reports unless they have identifiable information. Credit bureaus should begin to remove previous judgements and etc. that do not meet the new standards. Transunion, XXXX and XXXX failed to remove the bankruptcy off of my credit report in a timely manner. Transunion advised that it were investigated and came back that the Arkansas bankruptcy court verified the information which is a violation of the fair credit reporting act. I never heard a response back from XXXX and XXXX never replied with their dispute. I have listed documentation from the US Bankruptcy court that they do not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX followed the new law and removed such items from my credit report immediately.

XXXX told me the car died because I drove through a puddle.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
Credit limit was first increased then they decreased it. No payments were missed and have never been late in all the years and never been over the credit card limit since doing business with them. Telephoned creditor to inquire why credit limit was decreased. They advised they needed to decrease it due to ability to repay. Advised them this made no sense as I have never been late or over the limit with them. Later they pushed to try and have me setup an automatic payment with them. I refused to do so as I stated that I have never been late or over the credit limit with my account. Since Discover card reduced my credit limit my credit score was negatively affected and decreased my credit score. This has had a domino affect now with my other creditors who have subsequently reduced my credit limits which has further reduced my credit scores. Again I have never been late or over the credit limit with Discover or XXXX. Because of Discover it has adversely affected my credit scores and credit limits with other creditors due to no fault of my own.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I have been paying off my loan early, which was supposed to be applied to the principal balance. Instead, Nelnet is applying only a small portion of my payment to the principal, while applying most of the payment to interest. This was never explained to me in any of my loan documents and Nelnet refuses to work with me. 

I spoke with someone named XXXX, who said that it does n't matter if I request that my payments go to principle balance. So, although my next loan payment is n't due until XXXX XXXX 2018, Nelnet applied {$140.00} of the {$170.00} payment to interest. They refuse to apply the over payment to principal as I requested.
