Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022 I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored by my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), It is plainly stated that a failure to investigate those items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts de deleted immediately or I will file for ligation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018, I've sent the dispute letter to Experian. 
Even though I explained this alleged debt, there was no change. 
Experian must delete this alleged debt with my evidenced documents as XXXX XXXX did. 
However, they just added one word, " Updated ''. 

For a brief explanation, The credit report issued by Experian contains incorrect & missing information on this alleged debt. 

1. At First, as you can see the attached document, the race of patient is written as XXXX. Im an 100 % XXXX person, not XXXX at all. This incorrect information makes this debt not trustful and unreliable. No one will believe this debt belongs to me. 
My parents both are XXXX  as well, even my grandparents too. 
XXXX and XXXX have so much difference in looking such as skin color, eye color, hair color, and etc. 
Assuming Id be related to this debt and be a real patient, it should have shown XXXX, not XXXX. 
Indentifying race between XXXX and XXXX is not a big problem. 
For your information, Ive attached the proof document that my race is regarded as XXXX. 

2. Additionally, there is no critical information in the document they provided. 
There is no SSN or any critical information. 
The FDCPA states they must cease collection activity until they have produced verification of the alleged debt if so requested. 
As per the FCRA, if no proof of debt exists, it may not be reported to the credit reporting bureaus. 

As shown above, I've requested Experian to delete the alleged collection debt. 
Along with the same documents I sent to Experian, XXXX XXXX has removed this debt on their credit report. This is not mine and I don't owe any debt to them. 

As a result of this dispute, they put just one word " Updated '' on the credit report. 

After getting the update, I tried to check what content or information was changed in my credit report. 
However, there was nothing. " Nothing '' was updated or changed at all. 
I have 2 credit reports by Experian. One is before sending a dispute. 
Another is the final version of credit report Experian just sent me after the end of dispute with it. 
There is no difference between 2 credit reports at all. 
I'm 100 % sure they didn't work at all with my dispute.

They just put the word " Updated '', and nothing was changed. 
I've tried to dispute this result. However, I was denied by them on their website. 

I've attached those 2 different credit report for a comparison and other proofs. 
Please request Experian to properly work as the law requires. 
Thank you so much for your work.

I provided them with no information over the phone, they told me my email, House address, and phone number and then informed me that they needed to do one last thing to verify that I was who I say I am. They sent me three verification codes via text message, told me I should freeze my accounts and close my card and they would transfer me. The call was disconnect and I called Bank of America back and they informed me that someone had talked to me from Bank of America today but no information was documented. It wasnt until they asked me to verify who I was through text that they realized that I had been a part of a fraudulent case. Lastly, the verification code from the real BOA was in the same text as the impersonator.

I get a summary, and a " link '' to view the report online, and it generates a password-protected, one-time access report. I am unable to print the report, or view it due to their archaic system.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint:
I am having difficulty getting timely response from my loan servicer, FedLoan Servicing, regarding an error they made in processing Public Service Loan Forgiveness Employment Certification. 

In XX/XX/XXXX I submitted the Employment Certification form in anticipation of qualifying for Public Service Loan Forgiveness in XX/XX/XXXX. I received a response in XXXX where FedLoan Servicing failed to certify payments made from XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX that should count toward the requirements for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. I have spoken to FedLoan servicing monthly since XXXX regarding this issue. They have informed me that these payments werent certified due to an error made by their automated system in their initial review which listed payments from this time period as occurring prior to consolidating my loans with a Direct Consolidation Loan. In fact, I consolidated in XX/XX/XXXX. 

They have informed me that in order to correct the error they will have to review these payments manually and can not give me a timeframe for when this review will be complete. They have stated that it can take several months. They can not provide any additional information about steps that have been taken to correct their error. Despite the error occurring during their review, they have consistently blamed the delay and inability to provide more information on response time from previous loan servicers. 
I have asked directly about mechanisms to formally lodge my dissatisfaction and been told that all they can do is flag my account to show that I am not happy with the time it is taking to correct their error. 

I find their inability to accurately review paperwork and correct their errors in a timely manner and their inability to provide useful information regarding the status of a review including any commitment on their part to meet a deadline unacceptable. 

FedLoan Servicing and the Department of Education have been subjected to quite a lot of negative press regarding their poor performance in providing their clients accurate information and processing paperwork accurately and in a timely fashion. This negative press is well-deserved in my experience. I also find it troubling that they can not provide their clients avenues for providing feedback regarding their experience, nor can I locate anything on their website to provide feedback. It appears that they have no interest in improving their performance in these matters.
