Complaint:
Within the FCRA, I have compiled a list that these accounts go against. 
15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have a right to privacy. 
15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A. States that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written consent. 
15 U.S.C 1681c. ( A ) ( 5 ) This section states no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information. Any other item of information other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. 
15 U.S.C 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
I had my credit ran today XX/XX/2020 at XXXX because I was trying to finance a phone with them however, I was unable to do so because apparently there are several accounts in negative standing appearing on my credit history. I was surprised to hear this because I rarely even use my credit and when I do, I always make sure to pay everything on time. I looked through a copy of my credit report and I saw four accounts that are not mine. Three accounts are from a company called XXXX XXXX and One account is from a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX. I never opened any account with either of those companies nor did I give anyone permission to open these accounts in my name. I do not have any written or verbal contract with these companies nor did I benefit anything from these accounts such as money, goods, services or any other benefit and I did not contribute to any payments that might have been made towards these accounts. I have already filed a police report.

I have Federal and Private Student Loans I repeatedly have been given wrong and different info depending on who you talk to. 
I needed to release my cosigner as she has XXXX. I spoke with a manager. She told me i just had to send a cease and desist letter. I wanted to stop the calls to the cosigner. I was : " behind in a payment '' The " Supervisor told me I could tack it on to the end.After 8 years of paying, I still owe XXXX dollars. After 8 years of sending the payment form to myself and the cosigner, last week they changed the address and sent it addressed to myself and the cosigner at the POA '' s address.On top of it ... they said I am still behind, the payment would not be tacked at the end. The cease and desist would only stop the calls for 2 of the loans, I need to also have a release the cosigner form filled out, as well as a XXXX form for the cosigner. And also the POA has to release her. 
I get different info every single time I call. 
Can anyone help? 
Tonight i spent 2 1/2 hours on the phone, they kept putting me on hold for 5 minutes, transferring me to different dept 's. They told me the person who changed the address this week was in the " Back Office Team '' and they do n't take phone calls. 
They have created multiple obstacles. 
Everything that I believed was taken care of by the " Supervisor '' was not taken care of and they made matters worse. 
Can I get any portion of this loan forgiven by the Dept. of Education?

Complaint:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against XXXX located in XXXX, GA ; XXXX located in XXXXXXXX XXXX  and TRANSUNION located in XXXX, XXXX XXXX has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, resulting in significant financial and emotional distress. To begin with, they have reported an erroneous and unverifiable account on my credit report, and despite my requests for proof of claim as per the FCRA, they have been unable to provide the necessary documentation. Despite my persistent efforts to resolve this issue over the past several months, XXXX, XXXX AND TRANSUNION have consistently ignored my communications and legal submissions aimed at removing this inaccurate information from my credit report. It is disheartening to note that there are numerous other complaints against this company for their illegal and unethical business practices, yet they continue to operate. The unprofessional and negligent behavior of this XXXX bureaus namely XXXX, XXXX AND TRANSUNION have inflicted severe harm not only on my ability to establish credit and secure favorable interest rates but also on my professional reputation and personal well-being. I implore you to assist not only me but also other consumers facing similar issues by putting an immediate stop to these unethical and immoral business practices. I genuinely appreciate your time and assistance in addressing this matter and eagerly await your response.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: NC
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Having problems with customer service

Complaint:
Almost one year ago i contacted Navient about my student loan. The problem was that my payment was being raised from {$94.00} per month to {$300.00} per month. My income, {$XXXX} would not support such an increase. The Navient reps said that the account was up to dat e and therefore there was nothing they would do at the time. Once the account became past due they would reevaluate the account. During the summer I contacted them, usually speaking to someone in XXXX and the rep could not/would not do anything. Then when the account was past due, the res from XXXX would call, sometimes several times per day, including Sundays, and read from a script. When i asked a question that was " off script '' they became confused and went back to their script. I know it was a script because because it was exactly the same words every time. In XXXX XXXX I spoke to a female rep who said she was in Indiana and she suggested the income sensitive plan. She told me what I would need to do, where to send the info, and she assured me she was a supervisor and would make it happen. She brought the account up to date as her sign of good faith. The problem is that since that time I have received nothing from Navient. An email requested more forms, which were sent, but I never received a reply. Many times I spoke to reps and asked for the female rep who I had spoken to in XXXX. I was told that I could not be on an income sensitive plan because I was on an income based plan and would have to request to be removed from that plan. I did that and received a letter saying so. i also received a letter saying I was still on the income based plan and another saying i was on no plan. When I mentioned this to reps they told me that I did not have any such letters. It was not until early XXXX XXXX that a male rep, also from Indiana, said he researched the records and saw that what I was saying was true and that Navient had dropped the ball and failed to follow through. I have n't heard from him since. I have, however, heard from other Navient reps, including emails, threatening an a sundry of things since.
