Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't temporarily delay making payments
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
The situation : I am a full-time XXXX  student and my student loan payments are not being deferred through NelNet ( I only have federal subsidized and unsubsidized ). I have verified through FSA that my school has reported my enrollment. At current, I owe over $ XXXX - but I don't make that much money at all, because I am a full-time grad student. 

I have submitted countless ( over XXXX times ) requests through the " my situation has changed '' portal on the nelnet website dating back to XX/XX/XXXX. The website indicates that " your status will be updated '' but this has not happened. 

XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX - Sent e-mails to various contacts ( 4 times through website contact form, one to XXXX ) indicating that I am actively enrolled in school but my account is not reflecting an in-school deferral. 

XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX - Called the nelnet phone number. Call was dropped every single time, despite me calling from different numbers ( work, cell ). 

I've been unable to get in contact with them to reflect my account 's deferral. I fear that this will negatively impact my credit score because I'm unable to pay. I'm not sure how to proceed.

Complaint narrative:
During one of my frequent checks with the XXXX major credit bureaus, I learned that Experian has my mother 's name listed on my credit file under " aliases '' and that makes no sense to me at all as I've never used my mother 's name or information, nor do I even know her social security number. I reached out to Experian back in XXXX and as far as I knew the matter had been cleared up entirely, until my mother asked me about a week ago why her name is on my credit file when she was checking her credit scores separately. There is a record of my disputing it with experian, with a status of " updated '', however, my mother 's name is still listed in the same place as an " alias '' of mine.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Against LVNV Funding LLC ( Account Number : XXXX ) I have taken several steps to resolve this matter directly with LVNV Funding LLC and its affiliate, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX but they have failed to validate the debt and provide the necessary documentation, which is in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

The details of the complaint are as follows : I do not owe any money to LVNV Funding LLC or XXXX XXXX XXXX, nor do I have any contractual agreement with these companies. Despite this fact, they have been attempting to collect a debt that is not legitimate. 

I have sent multiple letters to LVNV Funding LLC requesting information about the alleged debt, including documentation that proves its validity. However, they have not provided me with any clear and accurate information regarding this debt as required by the FCRA and FDCPA. 

LVNV Funding LLC 's actions have negatively affected my credit report and financial well-being. Their failure to validate the debt and provide the necessary documentation has caused unwarranted stress and financial hardship. 

I believe that LVNV Funding LLC 's actions are not only unethical but also illegal under federal law. I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action to rectify the situation. Specifically, I request the following remedies : a. An investigation into LVNV Funding LLC 's debt collection practices, specifically related to my case. 

b. A requirement for LVNV Funding LLC to provide clear and accurate documentation validating the alleged debt within the confines of the FCRA and FDCPA. 

c. Removal of any negative information related to this unsubstantiated debt from my credit report. 

d. Appropriate penalties or sanctions against LVNV Funding LLC if they are found to have violated federal consumer protection laws. 

I have enclosed copies of all relevant correspondence between myself and LVNV Funding LLC, including copies of the letters I sent to them requesting debt validation. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and your commitment to upholding consumer rights. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information or documentation to proceed with this investigation. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this complaint.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I received a credit report update on the XXXX XXXX apps credit journey feature and it said I had a new credit card opened in my name, naturally I panicked. I checked the details and it said I have a balance of {$59.00} and the bank is XXXX. The only remembrance of even applying for a credit check was for a XXXX XXXX credit pull because I was looking to finance a tv. However the credit I was approved for was less than I expected and I told them that I rather not open the credit card. I never received the card in the mail and I never activated anything. So you can see where I am confused at.

Complaint narrative:
I won't tolerate your attempt to dismiss my identity theft claim as an error or a misrepresentation of material fact. WHO ON EARTH GRANTED YOU THE AUTHORITY TO DETERMINE WHAT CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL FACT? YOU'RE NOT A JUDGE, A JURY, OR IN ANY POSITION TO MAKE SUCH JUDGMENTS! YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT. My distress arises from the fact that I HAVE BEEN A VICTIM OF IDENTITY THEFT, A CRIME THAT HAS INFLICTED SEVERE EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL TURMOIL UPON MY LIFE. YET, YOUR BUREAU 'S RESPONSE, OR RATHER THE LACK THEREOF, HAS DEMONSTRATED A SHOCKING DISREGARD FOR THE URGENCY AND GRAVITY of my situation. Let me be unequivocally clear : I WILL NOT TOLERATE THE APATHY AND INDIFFERENCE I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THUS FAR.

Company: Coinbase, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Please see my reply XX/XX/XXXX to the XXXX XXXX XXXX below in response to Coinbase 's reply XX/XX/XXXX in response to my complaint. 
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - My reply XX/XX/XXXX to the XXXX XXXX XXXX : I am rejecting Coinbase 's reply because they are responding with a half truth. 

While it is true that I'm now able to access my account, what Coinbase failed to disclose is that I had to hire an attorney at the cost of {$15000.00} to compel Coinbase to unblock my account. The demand letter from the attorney is attached and as well as the copy of my bank payment to the attorneys in the amount of {$15000.00}. The motion for pre-judgement writ of attachment, not uploaded, asserted a valid claim against Coinbase for breach of contract and conversion. 

I might add that I filed my complaint against Coinbase on XX/XX/XXXX but only now on XX/XX/XXXX ( over XXXX years later! ) is Coinbase responding to my complaint. 

Since Coinbase was clearly at fault, it is imperative that Coinbase refund the {$15000.00} that I was compelled to spend on attorney fees to unblock my account. My account was not accessible for over 4 months resulting in severe emotional distress. Furthermore, I spent an enormous amount of time and effort locating, preparing and presenting information to the attorneys, XXXX  and Coinbase in order to unblock my account. 

I respectfully expect to be compensated for the damages above.
