XXXX. LINCOL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE Account XXXX Please correct this inaccurate information on my credit report. I recently pulled my credit report from your Bureau and my attorneys and I had a chance to go over my credit report and in amazement, that you have decided to report me 120 days late on this account in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I immediately disputed this information with LINCOL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE and the results of the investigation came back " verified ''. Not only was I never late on this account, but according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the information furnisher is required to notify me of the insertion of negative listings. Since I have disputed the lates with the creditor, and you obviously " verified '' them, I am very curious as to what kinds of " records '' you may have for this alleged account. I am very confident that you are in violation of the ( FCRA ) and ( FCBA ) sections ( 1666, 1666a. 1666b., and 1666c. ) as stated below : 1666. Correction of billing errors ( b ) Billing error ( 4 ) The creditor 's failure to reflect properly on a statement, a payment made by the obligor or a credit issued to the obligor. ( 5 ) A computation error or similar error of an accounting nature of the creditor on a statement. ( 6 ) Failure to transmit the statement required under section 1637 ( b ) of this title to the last address of the obligor which has been disclosed to the creditor, unless that address was furnished less than twenty days before the end of the billing cycle for which the statement is required. ( 7 ) Any other error described in regulations of the Bureau. 1666a. Regulation of credit reports ( a ) Reports by creditor on obligor 's failure to pay amount regarded as billing error After receiving a notice from an obligor as provided in section 1666 ( a ) of this title, a creditor or his agent may not directly or indirectly threaten to report to any person adversely on the obligor 's credit rating or credit standing because of the obligor 's failure to pay the amount indicated by the obligor under section 1666 ( a ) ( 2 ) of this title, and such amount may not be reported as delinquent to any third party until the creditor has met the requirements of section 1666 of this title and has allowed the obligor the same number of days ( not less than ten ) thereafter to make payment as is provided under the credit agreement with the obligor for the payment of undisputed amounts. ( b ) Reports by creditor on delinquent amounts in dispute ; notification of obligor of parties notified of delinquency If a creditor receives a further written notice from an obligor that an amount is still in dispute within the time allowed for payment under subsection ( a ) of this section, a creditor may not report to any third party that the amount of the obligor is delinquent because the obligor has failed to pay an amount which he has indicated under section 1666 ( a ) ( 2 ) of this title, unless the creditor also reports that the amount is in dispute and, at the same time, notifies the obligor of the name and address of each party to whom the creditor is reporting information concerning the delinquency. ( c ) Reports by creditor of subsequent resolution of delinquent amounts A creditor shall report any subsequent resolution of any delinquencies reported pursuant to subsection ( b ) to the parties to whom such delinquencies were initially reported. 1666b. Timing of payments ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. Because I take my credit very seriously, I contacted every name and account that was listed on the report. I was again very shocked by the multiple names, account numbers and figures. Included with this letter, is every letter written to those who have hampered my ability to obtain credit. I believe that any judge that looks over the report would agree that it is a violation of both the FCRA, CCPA and FACTA. The following accounts were listed on your report and I have demanded from them a full accounting and five years worth of records to see if their accounts were in violation of the FAIR CREDIT BILLING ACT ( FCBA ). We also demanded signed contracts, agreements or any legal paperwork that would tie us to the following accounts. Under the FCRA, you are required to conduct an investigation on this account if I request it. I DEMAND to see all 100 % verifiable proof that I was indeed Verifiably late on these accounts and the creditor fulfilled its obligations under ( FCBA 1666 ( a ) ( 2 ) ), As I was never notified of a billing delinquency on my accounts, which the creditor must do under section ( FCBA1666 ( b ) ( 6 ). I DEMAND to see proof that I was mailed my statement to the correct address notifying me of both payment due date and delinquency of payment on the account. If you can not provide 100 % Verifiable proof and proper documentation that the CREDITOR fulfilled its obligations under the ( FCBA ) and ( FCRA ), I therefore demand these late payments be removed from my account or I will be forced to be in contact with the Attorney General of my State and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I therefore am submitting my written request to you to conduct an investigation. Per the FCRA, you have 30 days to conduct this investigation and respond to my request. If you do not respond within this time period, per the FCRA, you must remove this negative information. Thank you for your time, XXXX XXXX SS # : XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Iowa XXXX

I stareted Lincoln Tech school for XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. Prior to that I met with their finacial advisor who worked on loans and ensure this was the best private loan. Throughout year long program i made monthly payments in addition to the school receiving grants for my account. During my last XXXX things got tricky and I had to pay past due of 3 months which has been paid off now. Lincoln Tech, offers students a private loan with a company XXXX which is another balance outside of the school receiving federal payment, and my monthly fee to them. So fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX Im at my last month of the XXXX classes and stressed about tuition issues which Lincoln Tech pride themselves saying they will work with a student no matter what! I get sent into collections for XXXX loan that is XXXX!!! The worse part is I didnt even take my boards by the time I get thrown into collections. The Lincoln finacial department headed by Mr. XXXX has been a nightmare! In XX/XX/XXXX I pass my boards and is confronted with situation of not finding a job for a while. Lincoln Tech promised XXXX job opportunities for their students and that wasnt true most people had to find one through other means. In the spring I start working part time and start making payments on the XXXX loan that was placed in collections before I even passed my boards or graduate from the school. In order to make more money Ive decided to apply to XXXX school and one of the requirements is an official transcript from school that I attended. So I reach out to Lincoln finacial office and spoke with their lead person Mr. XXXX or XXXX Iexplain the situation, and how I feel that its not right to be thrown in collections with out installment options to receive official transcript. Mr. XXXX was very rude and immediately shut down anything that I had to say. How can this be for a school that wants referrals, and sell people the idea of working with them. It hasnt even been a year that Ive graduated to be thrown into collections. I feel its unjustified, very conniving, to mislead people to go to a school and be stuck at the end. Meanwhile there were other employees for example Mrs. XXXX who was willing to work with me. Im a student who isnt finacially fit to pay {$8000.00} to get a copy of my transcript to further my education in order to get out of debt. I was told I cant get my transcript even after I started making payments and offered to do payment plans. Mr. XXXX informed all his staff that this cant be done. When I called XXXX XXXX XXXX where Lincoln financial charged it off to discuss lowest payment that can be accepted because I dont have the job I thought Lincoln would help as per their career service I was denied what I can afford. As per the collection agency Lincoln Tech will not go lower than XXXX to get my transcript which I cant afford and the XXXX program starts in XX/XX/XXXX my transcript is due before XX/XX/XXXX. When I called Lincoln corporate I was only given an unofficial transcript which isnt valid. Im sharing this frustrating, misled situation which many other alumni students are facing and are looking to bring light to! Lincoln Tech, tells prospective students they will work with you their finacial system is almost fraud, they overcharge, and just have you sign loan papers and at the end youre stuck and nobody wants to help. I contacted the school president XXXX XXXX and explained frustration she vowed to email me and speak to Mr. XXXX I was left waiting and never got a call back. After calling a corporate they sent an unofficial transcript which cant be accepted and Lincoln is aware of that. All Im looking for is to receive my official transcript and make payments on a lower reasonable settlement cost. I already started making the payments, but it seems Lincoln Tech and their finacial office doesnt care about the alumni students facing finacial hardships and burden from the XXXX tuition! Im very disappointed that this is the result. They have given official transcripts before Mr. XXXX is just refusing to do so even though Ive made payments on account.

In XXXX of XXXX I received a call from XXXX XXXX from Lincoln Tech LTI Receivable Division letting me know that I need to start making my monthly payments. I was confused because I never with drew from college they told me that I was placed on temporary out because I was XXXX and it is dangerous to be around chemicals but I agreed to start paying my monthly payment. I was not working at the time so XXXX XXXX set up payment arrangements with me paying {$30.00} every two weeks adding up to {$60.00} per month. I have never missed a payment. As of this year I noticed that the loan was charged off on my credit and started reporting in XXXX of XXXX as a charge off. I then again called Lincoln Tech and asked why would it be charged off if I have been paying. XXXX XXXX stated that the loan has been charged off since XXXX of XXXX. I then asked him why I was never informed and why it was never reported. Then I asked for my balance was and he stated it was {$5000.00}. So I asked how much my balance was when I originally started making payments and it was {$6300.00}. So I asked him why is the balance so high if I have been paying every month on time for the past 3 years. He then told me because I am being charged interest and they just stopped charging me interest. So I asked why I would be charged interest on a loan that was already charged off as bad debit and he then changed his words and said it was just charged off in XXXX of XXXX. So I asked again why would it be charged off if i never missed a payment. At that point I asked to speak with a supervisor and he told me he was on vacation and I asked him for an email he told me that he can give his supervisor a message. So I waited a week then called again and asked if he gave the supervisor the message to call me. He then avoided the questions and stated that his supervisor was in a meeting. So I asked him if he could have his supervisor give me a call back and he said hold on, placed me on hold for 30 seconds then got back on the phone and told me his supervisor said that they can charge interest and said his supervisor was too busy to speak with me and will call me back. I then asked XXXX XXXX to send every payment and document that they had for my account and asked how long it would take to received all the documents and he said he will send it but he did n't know how long it will take. I have not received any documents and every time I call to speak with a supervisor he always answers the phone and states that he in a meeting or something. So my questions are ( Can a company charge interest on a loan that is already charged off because if not I feel that they at least owe me the money back and place it towards my account for the last 3 years of 50 % of every payment interest was paid ) and if they just recently charged me off the next question is ( Can a company charge off a loan that has been receiving payments every month for the last 3 years ) I just feel like this company is taking advantage of students. I have a bill from XXXX XXXX showing my total payment due is {$60.00}. I also have bank statements for the past 3 years of every payment that was made. If someone can please help me with this I really do n't know how any of this is legal. Also I do n't mind making the payments especially since I have never missed a payment for the last 3 years because I do care about my credit very much. I just want to stand up if not for myself but for others that are being lead into this scam. Thank you for your time, XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX

As a federally protected consumer. I am currently being harassed by multiple debt collectors. Most of these debt collectors have sent me statements to collect a debt on a POSITIVE balance, if anything I should be the one getting paid.Based on the FDCPA 15 USC 1692 them sending me statements makes them a debt collector .Since they are NOT the original collector this makes them a Third-party debt collector .As a consumer I have the rights to know how much was this sold for or the commission it was assigned. ALL of this so far are violations to the LAW. I have asked for validation and a signed contract between me and the third party debt collectors, which they have not sent me only statements and statements does not mean contract by any means.With this being said that is under violation as well and considered fraud because they unknowingly put me under contract and tarnished my credit report and reputation .Which is another violation. Under the FCRA 15 USC 1681 THESE debt collectors ruined my " reputation " with a bad debt and furnished it to my credit report. The debt also states " failure to pay this debt will result in us furnishing this debt to ANY or ALL consumer reporting agencies. '' This is considered a threat. The word debt is in fact obscene and profane. Last but not least as mentioned before the papers sent to me are all in a positive balance if I OWED anything to these unknown people the balance will be negative because it is impossible to pay a positive off, therefore this means its been paid with my social this entire time .Is there a way of reimbursement? The companies im talking about are : XXXX XXXX Amount : XXXX Date : XXXX lincoln Tech amount : XXXX Date XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX amount XXXX date XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX amount - {$1000.00} dateXXXX XXXX XXXX

I have a student loan from Lincoln tech XXXX XXXX XXXX {$3500.00} from spring of 2021. They use their own lender called XXXX. I started by having auto payments taken out of my account monthly. My problem is I had no receipt or statement billing statement sent to me. So I canceled the auto payment ask the company to send me monthly bills in which I can send a check in order for proof of payment. My problem here is I never get my statement of what is built what is old what Ive been paid I have to call monthly in order to get that. If I forget to call XXXX XXXX then they called me in which I ask for a bill to be mailed to me. Then I pay by personal check. They are not sending me anything monthly but harassing me saying they are going to send to collections or to the credit bureau I would like help on what to do in the situation even though I contact the lender. Is it my Responsibility to call every month in order to receive my bill and even when I get my bill it just shows me the amount that is owed to pay no other details. When I last spoke with the XXXX Representative he has told me I am not the only person who has been having this problem he also said that there is a website I can go on to see this but does not have that information of how I can login when I called Lincoln tech today its XXXX and XXXX told me he does not have that information does not know about that. I uploaded all bills I have received since having this loan. Is this legal for a loan company want payment yet they do not sent monthly statements on what is own and what has been paid. I have other bills where I can go on their website or get my statements every month. I would greatly appreciate someones help. Thank you!

Lincoln Tech has destroyed me financially. They have several accounts against me FOR THE SAME THING. They have grossly over-inflated what they are saying I owe, and they are keeping MY Pell Grant money in the amount of {$2500.00} from me. I was enrolled for ONE AND A HALF MONTHS, and they're saying I owe more than {$5000.00} ( depending on what report you look at ). How?! I had Grant 's, scholarships and some loans. The loans were cancelled because I withdrew so quick. An ENTIRE month, was ORIENTATION, where all students and the instructors ... SAT AND PLAYED COMPUTER games ... how's that worth anything?! Let alone the thousands. I'm disgusted. No wonder they has a class action. No wonder actual shops DONT HIRE LINCOLN GRADS. They mislead and lied to me, which I find funny ... look at their CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT and this will all make sense. They declined to inform me of the procedure of accepting things like Grant 's. I just accepted my {$2500.00} Pell grant YESTERDAY to find that they accepted it on my behalf, and disbursed it ... sometime between XXXX and XXXX. They call my residence ( I live with my grandparents and daughter ) and if I'm not around due to work, etc, I come home to hear HORROR stories of how rude and disrespectful these people at Lincoln are to my XXXX YEAR OLD GRANDPARENTS. I resorted to looking into redeeming MY PELL GRANT that I worked hard for because I'm in a tough spot with my daughter. They stole from and lied to a single father, who's XXXX and was trying to better my life and my daughters.

I took out a private loan through XXXX. Since I graduated they have been calling me nonstop ; I graduated 3 mths late but they have me under the previous graduation date so I had to start paying as soon as I graduated. I called and asked for deferment and was told ok only to be called continuously. When I called to ask why Im still receiving calls and negative marks against my credit score they said they dont offer deferment and I need to pay immediately and told me Im 3 mths behind. I have been making payments as much as possible but they still continue to call me nonstop. They have started to call me at work and I asked them to please stop. Even with the pandemic they are still demanding payment in full. Anyone I try to speak to to get lesser payments or to explain why I am 30 days behind come off extremely condescending and rude. the person called mrs. XXXX continues to call me multiple times a day every day. I have requested to receive another case worker because this woman is so rude but they refuse to swap me to anyone else. when I ask for a supervisor the person that responds is just as rude trying to talk over me when I explain the situation. Im currently caught up on payments and they still continue to call and harass me. Theyre claiming that I will be sued by a lawyer for the amount of the loan in full. I continue to make the mthly payments but now theyre have put my credit as behind and are not showing that I am paying even when the balance continues to reflect that payments are being paid.

Today had to be the worse which would be XXXX called to setup payments to get things caught up and she said i need a reason to why you have not contacted us, I told her that i have been working very long days, she says that's not a good enough reason. Only way i can take payment is something today and setup autopay. told her that i can not make a payment today that this was my fault be I'm setting up three payments to get everything caught up, she continued to harasses me about my other bills stating that i don't forget my phone bill, just cause you work long hours is not a good enough reason to where i did get upset and asked for a supervisor which really didn't help much cause the only way he would setup payments is if i setup autopay.. I have had the same woman hang up on me in the past when i asked a question.. she continues to make sure that this is going to mess up my credit there has been many times we have blown up on each other because of her attitude towards me.. im sorry im trying to pay and because of my reason its not good enough? because i have made mistakes that i get harassment from her.. there's time i rather be late then have to deal with this woman.. i dont have pacific dates but they record all there phone conversations.. today i had it with the way she talks to me

I am disputing this collection account for several reasons. The original creditor was a school named Lincoln Technical Institute, which closed years ago for fraudulent accounts, predatorily financial aid tactics and student dissatisfaction. I was one of them and the school was located in XXXX XXXX, FL. I stated my concerns with the office managers XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, who then dismissed me immediately from the program on XX/XX/2013. I was in between classes and financial aid was paying the tuition, so I gladly left. One month later, I received a {$1700.00} bill saying I owned them for dropping the program. They automatically put me on a {$200.00} a month repayment plan ( without my permission, no signed documents or even my knowledge ). I started getting calls and letters that this " loan '' is in default and it started reporting on all 3 credit bureaus. I have been disputing this for years now and even contacted the Florida Department of Education who stepped in and wrote Lincoln Technical letters on my behalf to drop this fraudulent charge of {$1700.00}. The school did drop the charge and THEN sold it to this debt collection agency named XXXX XXXX XXXX, who is now harassing me and reporting this " debt '' to all 3 credit bureaus. I need help with this as I am trying to buy a home and clear up my credit. These predatorily companies need to be held accountable for their fraudulent and shady money scheming tactics.

I went to Lincoln Tech in XXXX, GA in XX/XX/XXXX and I received Financial Aid. I graduated from the school, then a few years later I received a letter saying that I owe the school, but I don't!! I NEVER signed any loans to pay for the tuition, it was all done by Financial Aid. My very first loan was with University XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, not Lincoln Tech. Lincoln Tech could not provide any proof that I owe the loan. In XX/XX/XXXX, my wages were garnished by some unknown collection agency called XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, MI on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. and their XXXX number is # XXXX. I contacted this company to ask them to provide proof that I owe this fraudulent loan, but they couldn't provide anything! The lawyer ( XXXX Something ) even asked me if I attended Lincoln Tech and I told him I did and I graduated but I did NOT fill out a loan. The judge still garnished my wages even though this " lawyer '' and the school showed no proof. This " lawyer '' has taken {$5000.00} from me already without proof that I owe anything. This fake " loan '' is not even on my credit report. On the national loan website ( NSLDS.GOV ), this grant is described as a grant- NOT A LOAN. Please research this and investigate this manner. I've been calling US Department of Education and even they could not locate this fake " loan ''. Lincoln Tech was NO help, because they have no proof.

Lincoln Tech entered into a contractual agreement with my underaged son whereby I signed as his parent as a cosigner. Without my knowledge or consent, my son dropped out of school and instead of Lincoln Tech sending me an initial request with the appropriate information regarding my son 's debt, they send me threatening letters stating that the account was past due and that they could not contact my son and that they would report this debt negatively to the credit bureaus on my account. I contacted this company several times in writing asking for the appropriate information informing them that I had an issue with them sending me threatening letters when I had never been initially contacted about the original debt.. The company did not respond to my requests for information and verification and yet continued to send me threatening letters stating that they would report negative information on my credit report. I believe that this company violated my rights under the Fair Debt Consumer Reporting Act. I have asked this company several times, where did they expect an underaged child to be able to immediately pay back over XXXX without a response. I believe this college practices predatory lending and even though I have paid them XXXX payments they have reported inaccurate negative information on my credit bureau report.

I have dispute this issue with the credit companies as well as XXXX XXXX XXXX. It is illegal to put something on my credit without my permission. Let alone something that is false. I have dispute with all companies about 6 times. Also, Pursuant to 15 USC 1692a ( 3 ) I am the consumer and I never gave ANY REPORTING AGENCY DIRECT written consent to report anything on my consumer report, No consent is IDENTITY THEFT. Pursuant to 15 USC 1629c ( c ) ( 2 ), I am invoking my specified remedy, as a consumer and the original creditor. I am presenting myself as a federally protected consumer and to my understanding you have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit. I also understand that you have been developed to uphold a consumers credit worthiness, credit standing/credit capacity, character and most of all the REPUTATION of consumers. While looking at my consumer reports, I noticed accounts that were listed without my permission and written instruction. This is a violation of federal law pursuant to 15 USC 1681b. XXXX XXXX is in violation of 15 U.S.C 1692G. They were to notify me of this in writing 5 days prior, I was not. As the original creditor only I can validate this debt.

I got a misunderstanding of my lone, when I was singing up to go school, i think they did n't explain the student lone well. I was unemployed at the time when I first started school. I was paying {$230.00} per month, did n't know that it was XXXX different types of loans I had to pay back, not until I graduate. After I finish school they did n't even get a job as they promises, so I when back to my old job, but I only could pay for a while until this is it, am not making as much money. I thought I was mislead in that lone transaction. Am a XXXX XXXX XXXX man with responsibilities.what good paying job could they get me to pay back the lone, when the course is only for couples of months, there 's so much to learn in automotive industry, am not a well educated. So I could n't get into any step program with any of those top end dealer company. For a person with out any mechanical background it 's hard to learn most things, hands on in XXXX months. Am not in any situation right now to pay back the lone.from i graduate school i do n't do anything auto mechanic work, i do n't remember mostly nothing that I have learned. Am hardly can survive, credit shot, need help.

In XXXX, I consolidated all of my loans, including the XXXX loan from Lincoln tech. 10 years later, a debt collector started to garnish my wages for that loan and claimed that I owe {$7000.00}.

Lincoln Tech promised me of getting a job after graduating in XXXX and it never happened. They did n't teach me the proper material and were very unprofessional and condescending. They left me with {$9000.00} in debt with student loans paying with interest on top of it. They did n't teach me the proper material to work in the XXXX field and rushed through most of the material in class we needed to learn for our XXXX field. Alot of students their didnt know the basic material by the time we graduated and alot of people dropped out of school while we were there. They put us in the worst internship environment that we could n't work at cause we did n't know the proper material to work there. Please have the courtesy of resolving this issue by waiving or reducing our student loans there for wasting our 2 years and tax payer money we gad to waste there

To this day am still paying back {$15000.00} dollars in a parent loan for 6 months of attendance. I was charged the full price as if he graduated.

Well trying to better my credit and this sneaks back up on all my there reports stating I was 60 days past due. They keep reporting that monthly while my loan is now paid in full and closed. They need to remove that remark off my 3 credit bureaus as its looks like my parent student loan is still active as of this date and its still 60 days past due. There reporting this monthly and its hurting my credit score. They need to stop reporting my paid and closed account with a high rank I loan paid and satisfied only. Please look into this and have then straighten this out as they certainly must think I am still active.

I received a telephone call from XXXX management the week of XXXX about a Lincoln Tech debt that is from 2012. I explained to the debt collector that I will not be paying the debt because it was an invalid debt then and it is still an invalid debt now. I also explained with the age of the debt there is no reason for me to resolve because I have more recent things on my credit that I need to clear up. I then explained that I wanted communication to cease and desist. The call ended. Yet they proceeded to place another phone call on XX/XX/XXXX with a voicemail left for me. The voicemail never stated the company name or that it was a call from a debt collector. When returning the call I realized it was the same company. They acknowledged that I advised not to call a week prior. I requested the recordings in which I was denied.

I was kicked out of the 11 month XXXX program at Lincoln Technical Institute after approximately 3 months because I was exceeded their XXXX consecutive absence policy. However, the reason I was absent was because I was in the hospital. I have the hospital record showing I was in the hospital during that time and I 'm also attaching a breakdown/explanation of tuition as well as the Lincoln Technical Catalog. I 'm currently taking them to court to settle the remaining tuition debt that they are trying to collect from me ( approximately {$7000.00} ) because I was kicked out of the program and was not allowed to complete their program. I feel like I should n't have to pay the amount because I was n't able to complete the 11 month program due to them kicking me out because I was in the hospital.

Weeks later i received the same document showing only my sons signature and no co-cosigner, my signature is not on the loan.

Whenever a representative contacts me, I 've tried explaining that I ca n't pay the balance but I 'm willing to send in small payments at least by making some contribution towards decreasing this loan, but they 're never willing to make payment arrangements with me. Now it 's on my credit affecting my score and showing as delinquent when I did try to maintain a positive status with the company. It has gone to another debt collector. No luck with them and the representatives are very rude and unprofessional.

I have been making payments through out the entire pandemic. I am a single mom, working very hard to keep my child and I afloat in this difficult time. I missed two payments, because they are too high and the company refuses to unserstand/work with me. Lincoln Tech has been harassing me over the two missed payments, calling my JOB! as well as threatening me. Not only this but when I check my credit report it states that this account has been " charged off '' as bad debt and profit and loss write off. Meanwhile, I have been making payments the entire time. This is terrible and they need to be put in their place.

The credit bureaus continue to allow Lincoln Tech to report a {$3600.00} collection account on my credit report, when the debt does not exist. I have contested the debt with Lincoln Tech and demanded documentation to show that I have any debt with their institution. Despite multiple requests, they have yet to provide any of the documents requested. Meanwhile, I continue to contest the debt with the credit bureaus, but they just keep verifying the debt to them. I sure would like to see what they're sending to the credit bureaus to verify this bogus debt, because they refuse to send me anything about it.

I spoke wit a representative at Lincoln Technical Institute ( XXXX ) XXXX and in their system it shows the account as being up to date. Payments have been made monthly and on time since XX/XX/2011 as an automatic withdraw from my account.

Lincoln Tech has made a poor attempt to work with us on a payment plan with my sons student loan that I was a co signer on. A late payment was reported to the credit agencies even though We never recieved any statement bill showing payment due and money owed. I attempted to call to enroll in a one time forgiveness repayment plan and they were not accommodating at all. I would like an investigation to help restore my once perfect credit back!

I have a received a bill for {$320.00} in 2021. When I graduated from Lincoln Tech they told me everything was taken care of until I received this bill. It hasnt even been one year and I was put in collections. I was even paying little just to not get put into collections. I dont understand how you can put a student loan in collections just for a few months and now it has hurt my credit score. I need this to be out of collections.
