Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Between XXXX I originated XXXX accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX A personal loan and a credit card which was opened separately. Overtime, either XXXX or both of the accounts had changes to the account number, changes to the terms and conditions or some loan modification. As a result, the account history and the amount of payments and interest Ive paid substantial payments without paying in totality has become available. As well as access to previous statements before the account numbers changed. I have noticed that the principal balance has barely changed and it appears most of all the payments made has gone to interest. For the past XXXX years, I havent had any significant reduction in my principal balance. As a result of financial hardship and reduced income I needed assistance with making payments. The first delinquency was reported in XXXX for both the credit card and loan. After 7 years, statue of limitation require negative reporting should be deleted and removed. Also, they have the credit card tradeline for {$19000.00} appearing twice under different account numbers, which is having a double negative impact on my credit. In absence of account history and old statements I have contested the validity of the debt and derogatory information. The credit reporting agencies and XXXX XXXX has failed to rectify the situation and delete derogatory information. Under section 1681s-2B of FCRA 15 USC 1681 et seq and The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq, the companies are in violation and having complied to my requests. Also, in recent news reports and class action lawsuit, XXXX XXXX has allegedly discriminated against minority borrowers and neglected to provide fair lending practices and services. I believe I am too a victim of unfair treatment and would like all derogatory credit reporting to be removed and deleted. I have been a member since XXXX, and Ive paid off several loans with XXXX XXXX. I am deeply disappointed at the way theyve treated me as a consumer. Learning that theyve treated other minority consumers unfairly is terrible. Their actions has negatively impacted my financial health and credit score by continuing to report old and unverified information.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Consumer Complaint: I opened a credit card with XXXX XXXX in XXXX. The account shows delinquency that is over seven years that should not appear on my credit report. I also asked that the company provides statements from the beginning of the account, and they have failed to do so. I called on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with a XXXX in the Special Collections Department and verified that this account was paid and it was still reflecting as open according to her records. She advised that I would not be able to get account information since account opening. I have in the last two years requested that the derogatory information be removed since it has not been verified and validated as accurate. The company has not provided any account history and proof of the delinquent payments. The furnisher and credit reporting bureaus are still reflecting this on my credit report, even though the account is 13 years old and paid. This is in clear violation of XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( mo ) XXXX XXXX XXXX, 1681s-2B of FCRA 15 USC 1681 et seq and Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ).
