Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Consumer Complaint: I was on a deferment prior to restarting my education in XXXX. I was unaware that starting my education would change my deferment status with XXXX and received no notification at that time or when I stopped school for family and health issues. I received no notification from XXXX once I stopped school that my loans would be restarting. I attempted to purchase a home and discovered that my credit score was tanked by XXXX points because XXXX reported my loans as late for 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 days. I have 2 groups of loans with XXXX totaling 5 loans. I was under then impression that I had 1 loan with XXXX because all prior notification from XXXX indicated that it was a single payment for my loan amount and included just the full balance owed. It was not until I received the 25 dings on my credit report when I attempted to purchase a house did I realize that it was 5 separate loans. I contacted XXXX who confirmed that they had an incorrect address, this address they had was never an address I lived at nor was I on any lease for. They denied having the ability to correct the report to the 3 reporting agencies and advised that I file a dispute. I filed the dispute, but XXXX denied any wrong doing or reporting so the dispute was closed.

Consumer Complaint: I have excellent credit and in XXXX I applied for a credit card with XXXX XXXX XXXX. They denied my credit application and told me to try again in XXXX when my score may be better ( it's already excellent! ). On Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX, I applied again. I was denied. I applied for an XXXX card with XXXX instead and was accepted but I realized it was not the card I wanted. I called XXXX by XXXX to upgrade the credit card I had applied for. XXXX said I would have to cancel the first card and reapply for the XXXX XXXX that I wanted. I asked them to cancel the card ( which I had not even received yet ) and told them I would reapply. Once I did this, I reapplied for the XXXX XXXX XXXX card. They denied me and told me I had applied too many times and would have to wait 48 months!!!! What the XXXX? Now my TRANSUNION HAS downgraded my score because I took ADVICE of these credit card companies and I can't get a XXXX airline mileage credit card! Everything works against the consumer with these credit card companies and no one is overseeing them properly. Is anyone with a little bit of common sense reviewing these credit scores and making a determination as to whether they are fair?

Consumer Complaint: NOTICE : YOU HAVE BEEN PUT ON NOTICE XXXX XXXX XXXX is in violation of multiple laws set forth by Congress in regards to the following account # XXXX. 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) states that the consumer report does not include information solely as to transactions or experiences ( payment history, charge off status ), between the consumer ( myself ) and the person ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) making the report. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681 s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) states that A person ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer ( ME ) to any consumer reporting agency. If the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. XXXX XXXX XXXX can not collect on a discharged debt. This is now considered a certificate of indebtedness per the IRS and income can not be reported. The IRS Clearly defines a charge off as Gross or Ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes reporting of this account inaccurate! I provided a screenshot from the IRS website. By Definition, the IRS Clearly says a Cancelled debt or Charge off is Income. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate. I never received a 1099-C from XXXX XXXX XXXX for the cancelled debt of { { {$1100.00} } } in order to file as ordinary income. Where is my 1099-C XXXX XXXX XXXX is clearly writing off debt with the IRS without sending out 1099-C as required by the IRS for debts greater than { { {$600.00} } }. This is unsatisfactory! XXXX XXXX XXXX has been HEREBY PUT ON NOTICE that they are furnishing incorrect inaccurate information. In XXXX XXXX XXXX terms and conditions, they agreed not to share my information with non affiliates. XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion is not an affiliate of XXXX XXXX XXXX nor are they " bureaus ''. The only true credit bureau is the CFPB and they DO NOT furnish consumer reports as stated in federal law. I have a right to privacy and Per the Privacy Act of 1974 as a federally protected consumer I am now revoking any and all authorization I the consumer may have given you written, non written, verbal, and nonverbal per 5 U.S. Code 552a. Per the FCRA as a federally protected consumer I am now opting out of any and all authorization I the consumer may have given you written, non written, verbal, and non verbal per 15 USC 6802. I have reported XXXX XXXX XXXX to the IRS for this fraudulent activity. I shall also point out their responsibility pursuant 15 U.S. Code section 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) ( ii ) : ( a ) DUTY OF FURNISHERS OF INFORMATION TO PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION 1 ) PROHIBITION ( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate ; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate. XXXX XXXX XXXX must also refund the remaining balance of the consumer account upon its termination. This is your 7 day notice to return ALL money due from this consumer account. 1026.11 Treatment of credit balances ; account termination. ( a ) Credit balances.

No further action is required if the consumer 's current location is not known to the creditor and can not be traced through the consumer 's last known address or telephone number.

( c ) Timely settlement of estate debts ( 1 ) General rule. ( i ) Reasonable policies and procedures required. For credit card accounts under an open-end ( not home-secured ) consumer credit plan, card issuers must adopt reasonable written policies and procedures designed to ensure that an administrator of an estate of a deceased accountholder can determine the amount of and pay any balance on the account in a timely manner. ( ii ) Application to joint accounts. Paragraph ( c ) of this section does not apply to the account of a deceased consumer if a joint accountholder remains on the account.

( 3 ) Limitations after receipt of request from administrator ( i ) Limitation on fees and increases in annual percentage rates. After receiving a request from the administrator of an estate for the amount of the balance on a deceased consumer 's account, a card issuer must not impose any fees on the account ( such as a late fee, annual fee, or over-the-limit fee ) or increase any annual percentage rate, except as provided by 1026.55 ( b ) ( 2 ). ( ii ) Limitation on trailing or residual interest. A card issuer must waive or rebate any additional finance charge due to a periodic interest rate if payment in full of the balance disclosed pursuant to paragraph ( c ) ( 2 ) of this section is received within 30 days after disclosure.
