Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/20 I received results on my dispute being proven accurate, I think it is incorrect. My credit score dropped 38 points because of my student loan which shouldnt have happened because of the covid-19 pandemic, no loans are required to be paid until XXXX due to the CARES ACT, so my credit score should not have been negatively affected.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: My XXXX case number is # XXXX. When my credit report was pulled I had two reports from the Dept. of Education that showed up on the mortgage department 's derogatory statement. They mortgage company agent instructed me to send the document to them and XXXX showing that the loan was paid in full and not just a closed account which may lower my score if seen as a derogatory report. I immediately sent a dispute online to XXXX and uploaded the letter from the Dept. of Education to make sure it was seen and categorized as two positive reports. Instead of reading the document and verifying that they were placed as positive credit reports XXXX deleted them from my report lowering my credit score. I was working hard on my credit score to close on my first house using my VA Loan and now that has been jeopardized. When I contacted XXXX to Monday XX/XX/20 at approximately XXXX they instructed me that they understood my situation and to request that the Dept. of Education submit an re-insertment form so they could correct the error. When asked could I speak to a supervisor I was told that one was not available for 3 hours. I called both agencies twice until a specialist from the Dept. of Education explained to me that it was a serious violation of the fair credit act and I should report XXXX because it was their error and they should have went to their data base and corrected the error by reinserting the paid in full reports themselves, This matter is seriously effecting my chances of getting the house that I and my wife worked so hard for. I only ask that they put back my credit history in the proper category and restore my credit score. My contact number is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I hope this could be rectified as soon as possible.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Firstmark is reporting a balance and past due amount & collection account status every month for an account that was included in bankruptcy in XX/XX/2019 & discharged on XX/XX/2019. I have disputed multiple times, and to date the account has been removed from the other bureaus but still remains on XXXX. The account should have been updated on all of my credit reports to show a XXXX balance when I filed bankruptcy & then should have stopped reporting collection account status & a past due balance. No further activity should be reported on the account after that. I do not agree that I owe this debt & nothing in this correspondence is an acknowledgement of any debt.
