Company: Credit Systems International, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Upon receiving my recent Credit report, I have found information regarding debt that is being claimed against me. 
I've been working diligently to improve my credit, despite having difficulties with collection agencies in the past. I've done my research on debt collection practices and how to manage my personal finances better. I've been saving for quite some time to pay off my accounts and finally did. This was difficult as the collectors were unwilling to work with me at times. That said I was able to pay off the accounts by starting with a new slate on my credit. The collection agencies in question have not removed the accounts from my credit report yet the rest being damaged because of it. They informed me that they would stop reporting the accounts but haven't.

Company: United Shore Financial Services, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I started a refinance in XXXX to get into a conventional loan and during that process it was found that my property taxes were never paid 3years ago by XXXX. I contacted my current loan servicer, and they informed me that this mistake was made by XXXX and they did not receive any escrow funds from them and they were not responsible. I then contacted XXXX multiple times and finally found out that they collected the funds from me but never paid them to the county nor issued a check for the overage to me. They made promises that they would send the check out in 1-3 business days and this kept happening for three months. I finally received the check, deposited it, and it bounced 3 days later! I then called XXXX multiple times, with multiple managers and left several messages with no return call. I believe this company is practicing fraudulent activities, at the very least they are engaged in unethical practices. If i hadn't of stumbled on the information, they would have kept my money without any notification to me. Not only has this placed a huge financial burden on our family, i have been unable to refinance due to this. I am also on the hook for XXXX in penalties and interest for their mistake, which they have offered zero help with.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: South Carolina Student Loan Corp
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I completed my MEd in 2015. Upon graduating, I consolidated all of my loans during my grace period. However, when I filed my taxes, my entire refund ( over {$8400.00} ) was offset for defaulted student loans. When I consolidated my loans, several loans were omitted from the consolidation. No one has ever given me a straight answer on why all of the loans were not consolidated as I requested ( as there is no such thing as a partial consolidation that I am aware of ). Since then, I have re-consolidated and have been repaying on time. My servicers at the time were XXXX and SC Student loan. The SC Student loans were the ones that were not included in the consolidation.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my updates, the XXXX XXXX XXXX account was still found in my report which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to TransUnion was on XX/XX/2020, but no response was ever received from them to date. This account, in my report, is late payment for the months during the pandemic. Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, which states that continued reports of the unverified information without any proofs provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2021, I checked my credit report to find several discrepancies, inaccurate information, and unverified accounts on all 3 of my credit bureau reports. I sent in dispute letters to each bureau, that specified which accounts were inaccurate, and asked for them to VERIFY or DELETE each account. By law they have 30 days to respond or verify and only XXXX  has responded. I am asking that you have XXXX  and also TransUnion DELETE all of my disputed accounts, and also fine these companies for reporting false credit information. XXXX did respond but they have not actually verified any of the accounts with signatures or original documents, therefor the disputed accounts should be removed from their credit report as well. I will attach each complaint letter I sent to each bureau with dates, as well as my receipt from the post office that shows proof that each bureau has had a copy of their respective letters for over 30 days. 

Thank You

There is a alleged bankruptcy on my credit report. I have disputed it numerous times and all 3 credit reporting agencies keep telling me it was verified through a 3rd party company. I have reached out to the companies they claim they verified it through and the companies has denied claims. I also sent the denials to all 3 credit reporting agencies and they then claimed that it was verified through the courts. I went to the courts to see if this was factual and the courts informed me in writing that they do not verify anything to anyone. I then sent the letter to the credit reporting agencies and all 3 sent decisions back saying verified but will not tell me who it was verified through, how it was verified and the name of the person who verified it. It is my rights to know those things and if they can not tell me who it was verified through, how it was verified, and the name of the person who verified it with proof of verification, all 3 reporting agencies is to remove the alleged bankruptcy right away.
