Penn Credit Corporation Refusing to Remove Items from Credit History even After Being Paid... Harrisburg Pennsylvania
To All -
My son is in school/ college. He is trying to finish school. You would think that a company such as this would use common sense and “say we would like to help you”. Instead they are intentionally trying to damage his credit and his buying power by keeping one item on his credit report which should be remove, because he has offered to pay the “minor” amount in full, with the agreement that they will remove it immediately. The amount due is related to a medical bill. My son had an injury while he was in school and could not pay it. He is a student!!! Other companies have done this for him. They recognized that fact and there should be no legitimate reason for "Penn Credit Corporation" not to remove the item after it is paid in full.
If they refuse to do so, they will be sued for “Deformation of Character” as a violation of my son’s civil rights. His character is being publically damaged for an amount that is ridiculous by all standards.
My intent is to pursue legal action, if "Penn Credit Corporation" does not cooperate and I will make it public to the media. Trust me, and I mean public. No one should be subject to this treatment.
No threats, just promises that my son will be cleared on his report of any and all items damaging the beginning of his credit history. I know there are many other students and parents that feel the same way I do and they will be notified.
"Penn Credit Corp" advertises that they have been in business for over 20 years. Yeah! they have been in the business of damaging people’s lives and screwing them up financially.

Getting injured? He didnt get a loan and then decide not to pay it. There is a difference. Secondly, 7 years on your credit report is a little harsh for something like this. There are people in jail who have murdered and did less time than 7 years. 7 years is too long of time to pay for this unintenional incident.

If your son was delinquent on a bill or bills, the CONSEQUENCES there of are placement of that information on a credit bureau report. If the information is not correct, he has the right to correct it or remove that. When people fail to pay their bills for whatever reason or excuse, the consequences are a matter of fact. Whether or not they choose to remove the info, is up to them. There is no "DEFORMATION" of character here. He failed to pay...he was caught...he pays the consequences. He, nor you are ENTITLED to anything.
NO, I don't work for them!
