Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I am aware that you have been responding to many of the disputes, complaints, and challenges with pre-written standard form letters, despite the precise information consumers have provided. I am well aware that this is ILLEGAL ; as each consumer dispute must be addressed individually and dealt with in accordance with its particular merits. 

My letters have written and generated using accessible software that is available to everyone. If you choose not to process or address my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i. And it is against the law to delay the processing of letters from consumers based on the assumption that assistance from a third party may be available. This does not qualify as a legal exception. I am the sole author of any letters bearing my name, or they have been written by my advisors with my complete knowledge and consent. I understand that there is no requirement for you to request a Power of Attorney in order to delay processing consumer letters. If you fail to process my letters promptly, I will consider it as a deliberate disregard for my consumer rights. In such a case, I will be compelled to contact my attorney and pursue legal action. 

According to the FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( l ) and the accepted STANDARD of Metro 2 data fild reporting, I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is not correct. It is essential that all data included in a consumer 's file is properly documented and validated before it is made available for use by creditors. Therefore, I take this matter seriously. The allegations of delinquency and derogatory information against me are entirely false, I won't stand for any misinformation being associated with my name and fiancial history and I am determined to FIGHT back with ALL my strength! The accuracy of your credit report is crucial. The allegations listed do not meet the federal or state requirements for reporting and can not be substantiated. I challenge these claims due to their failure to comply with basic reporting standards, which would provide me with greater confidence in the accuracy of the information presented. It is your responsibility to maintain and report data with complete accuracy and compliance. You must not report any claims that you know do not meet regulatory requirements. It is crucial that we ensure all claims are accurate and reported in the appropriate format as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and reporting standards such as METRO 2. I kindly request that you handle this matter with utmost care and diligence.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Complaint:
XXXX has been reporting that I have not paid my student loan and that it has been late. 

Legally and federally all student loans have been on pause since XX/XX/XXXX and do not resume until XX/XX/XXXX. 

Student loan forbearance is the temporary suspension or reduction of student loan payments. During a forbearance period, you're not required to pay anything toward the principal on your student loans. Interest can continue to accrue on your loans and be capitalized or added to your balance at the end of the forbearance period. 

I am requesting that XXXX corrects this mistake immediately. 
I am also requesting that the consumer reporting agency examine the disputed information, which legally should be done within 30 days. If the inaccurate information can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency has a responsibility to remove it.

State: PA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
on XX/XX/2022 I was notified, not by synchrony, but by XXXX  XXXX  that my account was closed. I had received no warning, and had paid the late fee already related to an issue setting up my bank account for my first payment ( on a less than {$100.00} charge on a {$1200.00} credit line ). 

With no NOTIFICATION, and less than a month after making an official payment once getting my bank account set up, my account was closed with no warning, resulting in an extreme negative action on my credit report. This not only dropped my credit score significantly, but effected my credit usage, further impacting my score. 

When contacted, I was given different reasons by different representatives. Ultimately, because they could. 

This is an extremely negative practice that is damaging and dangerous, especially in this economy, to consumers. All attempts at communication were met with blanket statements, with no offer of resolution. This is akin to loan sharking. 

They want open accounts so their business numbers are good, but do not want consumers utilizing credit lines they as a company can't afford.

Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC
State: TX
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
Portfolio Recovery Associates had made a claim that I had owed {$1100.00} dollars on a collections account. The original creditor was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This was for a XXXX credit card. The true original amount owed was {$1100.00} I had agreed to pay {$950.00} in exchange that they would list this on my credit report as paid in full and also list this as a paid collections. They had failed to live up to their bargain. They had listed the account as paid in a settlement. That was against what our agreement was stated. Also Portfolio Recovery Associates had marked my credit report as failed to pay in XX/XX/2016 just a few weeks after accepting my payment of {$950.00} in XX/XX/2016. By Portfolio Recovery listing this as a failed to pay item well after it was paid had lowered my overall credit score. I have on many occasions called Portfolio Recovery and had asked nicely for them to make corrections to my credit reports. They had refused to make any corrections and or updates. They had stated that it was an error within the credit reporting agencies such as XXXX. As to my understanding the credit agencies only report what they are provided by the creditors and collections agencies.

Complaint:
On Friday XX/XX/2022, XXXX XXXX XXXX knowingly, wilfully, with the intent to conceal disputes filed against them for various disputes, many in violation of federal and state law, again, violated my rights to due process when they perjured themselves in their submission OF eighteen ( 18 ) unique and separate FALSIFIED RESPONSES TO 18 separate and unique complaints filed against them.

In addition, their blatant disregard to federal law and to this complaint and several others demands the attention of the Eastern District US Attorney generals office to investigate these charges after signing each complaint that it was true and accurate data they were submitting to the CFPB, a U.S. government website.

This complaint will show they filed 18 submissions, and stated that all 18 complaints were duplicates to one specific complaint which you will see that to be absolutely false.

This is the list of complaint numbers they were deceptive with, the first number is the complaint at hand and the number below it is the referenced complaint that supposedly was a duplicate of the these 18 complaints.

The complaints are not even remotely the same, not the same content, not the same subject matter.

Please forward this to the US Attorney Generals Office for these serial violations and contempt of our state and federal laws.

Complaint:
In the month of XXXX, Experian moved my positive status of my student loans with XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX, placing 10 loans from each educational holder under my bankruptcy. Experian also reported all these loans as negative. I made three disputes online without them correcting the issue. I made contact with a direct agent on XXXX, who agreed that this was a mistake. The agent completed a dispute herself as I spoke with her on the phone. She apologized, stating she did not know why this occurred. All of my loans are in Income based repayment and have not been late with either. However, Experian has them listed under the individual loan holder and not the two companies that carry all of them together. I have mailed in proof as well without this being corrected. My bankruptcy has been finalized since XX/XX/2019 and at no time education was part of it. Experian had made this mistake and is furthering damaging my score monthly with their mistake in reporting. 
There is also a XXXX XXXX XXXX account in collections listed that was part of the bankruptcy. I have completed three disputes for this as well as sent the documentation to XXXX XXXX XXXX  and Experian. Experian is the only credit bureau I am having issues with in false reporting. Due to their mistakes, my home buying purchase has been halted. This is unfair because I have had no negative things on my report since bankruptcy. I have worked very hard to keep my credit in good standing and to have an agency not correct their error after all these attempts is frustrating. Please help me with this matter.

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Cashing a check

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I opened my Citibank app to check my balance. As the balance seemed low, I looked at the detailed transcations and saw that six checks had been cashed on XX/XX/2022. There were five checks in the amount of {$130.00} each and one check for {$400.00}, for a total of {$1000.00}. All of these checks I had written to one vendor and were dated mostly from XXXX 2022. All of these checks had already been previously cashed by Citibank and Citibank erroneously cashed them twice. 

Upon noticing this and confirming that indeed these checks had already been cashed, I contacted Citibank 's fraud line. I was told that yes the checks were erroneously cashed twice and they would start an investigation. I was given the following reference number XXXX. Since then, I have reached out to Citibank on multiple occassions but always with the same response that the issue is still under investigation. More than six weeks have passed and I still have not had the funds re-deposited in my account from what seems to be a very straight forward issue. 

I am attaching a snapshot of my transaction statement showing the checks cashed in XXXX and an earlier statement showing that they had already been previosuly cashed.
