Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Subissue: Received bad information about your loan
Consumer Complaint: Recently received a notice for garnishment on a judgement I was unaware of for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This garnishment notice is dated XX/XX/XXXX and proceeded on XX/XX/XXXX. After recieving the notice in XX/XX/XXXX for a judgement I was unaware of I contacted the Attorney whom filed and asked for more information. I have always been under the impression this loan was taken care of when I did a debt consolidation in XX/XX/XXXX in which was completed by XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX XXXX, Dept of Education. The attorney proceeded to tell me that the lender was XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. After researching this further I have found that XXXX XXXX XXXX has been purchased by XXXX XXXX XXXX and now branded as XXXX XXXX. I spoke with a multiple departments and a supervisor and no one was able to locate any file using my social security number. I asked for this in writing and was denied. I then researched further while XXXX investigated further and found that CFPB Takes Action Against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Transworld Systems for Illegal Student Loan Debt Collection Lawsuits. In the Case XXXX Document 3-1 Filed XX/XX/XXXX I found that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX filed for a garnishment against me this same day. When speaking with the attorney they are refusing to give me any further information in reagards to this loan. In XX/XX/XXXX I filed Chapter XXXX BK after the sudden death of my husband and found XXXX XXXX as a creditor and I contacted them for more information and they stated they can not discuss my account and they would mail me documentation that could take several weeks. In further research I found A copy of the consent order entered against XXXX XXXX , XXXX XXXX Document 1 Filed XX/XX/XXXX. I have not received any documentation from XXXX or Transworld , Inc. and I am asking if this case that has been filed in my behalf would apply to me and my current situation. I have requested documentation and clarification of this judgement against me from multiple companies and several calls to the attorney that has filed against me ; I have not been able to receive a straight forward answer. When dealing with the attorney she has been rude and unhelpful in this matter and simply states I owe this and I am going to pay it. I am very concerned about this judgement due to the recent judgement placed against these companies. I appreciate any help I can receive at this time. In the past several years I have done everything I thought to make sure I am taking care of my obligations as a reasonable adult and single parent. I greatly appreciate your time and consideration.

Consumer Complaint: My debt with XXXX XXXX was paid via insurance.

I was denied credit recently because of the negative report. I followed up with XXXX, the validated today XXXX XXXX, XXXX, the account does not exist any longer. I called Trans World Systems today, XXXX XXXX around XXXX EST, the rep acknowledged my dispute was on record since XXXX, but they were unable to obtain proof from XXXX, and then said they will not remove it from my credit. This is a willful violation of the FCRA. Then, the rep attempted to collect on the debt after acknowledging it was in dispute in their systems. When I informed her that the debt was paid, she just violated the FDCPA by trying to collect on it, and was violating the FCRA by not updating my credit, she hung up on me.

Consumer Complaint: Around approx XXXX I consolidated all of my student loans. I started having financial problems and became delinquent and in XXXX filed for bankruptcy. Through my entire bankruptcy, I was not contacted. After my bankruptcy was finalized in XXXX, I was excited to be able to reclaim my credit. I immediately called the XXXX Student Loan XXXX and set up my payments at the full amount of XXXX}. I started paying on time and then lost my job in XXXX of XXXX. I requested and was granted the deferment. I knew that I would restart the payments when I got a new job. Just a XXXX or XXXX later I started receiving calls saying that I owed for my student loans. I told them that I had just been granted a deferment and they said that they did n't do deferments. I was confused and asked more questions and found out that there had been a private student loan that was not consolidated in my payments and the company who identified themselves at XXXX XXXX XXXX and by XXXX. I told them that I did n't understand and that all my loans had been consolidated. They assured me that they had n't and that I would have to pay the entire balance immediately, which was somewhere around XXXX. I told them there was no way because I had just lost my job. They called me every day for the next few days. They finally said that if I made a good faith payment that they could stop calling me for a month. I made the payment over the phone while I was driving to a job interview. I have not been answering their calls anymore. I need help finding out if this loan is my loan and if it is possible to add it into the consolidation that I have with my other loans. Could you please help? I lost my job on XXXX of this past week and am again looking for a new position. The XXXX of not having a job just adds to the collection phone calls. Since my bankruptcy, I have been able to pay all of my bills except this XXXX and I have been able to maintain rebuilding my good credit. This worries me that it 's going to set my credit record back again, just when I was beginning to see progress.
