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

Complaint:
Upon careful review of my updated Credit Report, it has come to my attention that inaccurate information is being reported in my personal credit file. The Credit Reporting Agencies, specifically Equifax, have failed to comply with the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically 15 USC Section 1681i. They have continued to report unverified information without providing the necessary proof as required by law. Despite my repeated requests, the Credit Bureaus have not properly identified and provided the required verifiable proof within the stipulated timeframe. This unauthorized information includes inquiries that I did not authorize and for which I have not granted written permission. The Credit Bureaus have neglected to remove these inquiries from my credit file as requested : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023. Once the unauthorized inquiries have been successfully removed, I kindly ask that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report. Your timely attention and resolution to this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Complaint:
I recently found a billing issue when I reviewed my credit report. Billing mistakes are any arithmetic errors or other accounting mistakes on a statement, as well as the creditor 's inability to accurately reflect a statement, a payment received by the debtor, or a credit line given to the debtor, according to U.S. Code 1666 ( b ). In my opinion, the creditor did not send me a statement 21 days prior, hence there shouldn't be any late payments on these accounts. The list of disputed accounts that need to be fixed or corrected appears below. Please do so in order to report accurate and helpful information XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$28000.00} It seems that the following information reported is incorrect : account number, payment status, and date open. Please check the Payment History information of this account. The late history shouldn't be showing lates because I believe I paid on time. Please adjust the late payments from this account. I am not late on this account. Get it right immediately ; evaluate this reporting by revising the information provided. Modify and perform any corrections and update this from my file. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$340.00} - XXXX believe this account is reporting inaccurately. I do not believe I was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX this account presents. I keep records of my payments and I always make my payments on time, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Please investigate the account name, date of last activity, and account balance. This information seems to be misleading. I request an investigation and please update this account for lawful accuracy.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: TX
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint:
I have been calling Nelnet since XXXX and still have not been able to get in touch with anyone. When trying to use the chat service, I can not get past the Bot. 

The highlight of this horror was on XX/XX/XXXX when I called earlier in the day ( on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  they hung up while I was still in queue, the recording went from 'please hold ' to 'call tomorrow ' and disconnected. 

But on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  I waited on hold for 2 hours and 35 minutes. Eventually an agent got my call, but immediately put me on mute. After a couple of minutes of me saying " hello? '' and such, they put me on hold. They picked up again, put me back on mute, I resumed, " Hello? Hello? '' knowing full well that the agent was trying to make their stats look good without having to do their job or possibly get stuck on a long call close to closing time, or close to 'clear the queues ' time. I work for a call center, I knew exactly what they were doing to me. 

To prove I was correct, when the agent hung up on me I was transferred to an automated survey, which asked if the agent I had just spoke " with '' ( no, I spoke AT the agent ), was knowledgeable, professional, and, ahem, " willing to help ''. Insult to injury! 

I am now paying out of pocket with my family 's grocery money because I can not contact this company, and clearly they can't hire enough honest employees with any integrity. Also, my loans had been forgiven and then reinstated. This is just not acceptable.

Complaint:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

My credit score dropped 65 points due to the way XXXX XXXX reported the pause in student loan payments granted by the CARES Act to the credit reporting agencies.

Complaint:
XXXX made a XXXX purchase ( CA ), with affirm and returned items a couple days later. XXXX continued to charge. I didnt pay. XXXX issued me a {$.00} refund. The total was {$2500.00}. I have disputed, failed. They say the info is accurate. A few months later, they sell the debt to XXXX. They marked my credit as a charge off. I called because that has precluded me from buying a home. I called affirm yesterday, spoke with XXXX in XXXX XXXX ( what I was told ). I asked for a manager, I was told I have to call back and ask for one, then she said shes the manager, then she said no one is here. I never received ANY letter stating they are charging it off ( XX/XX/XXXX ). XXXX told me that its my responsibility to police XXXX. How? I made the returns, the erroneously issued the credit for {$.00} instead of {$2500.00}. XXXX said I returned {$.00} worth of stuff. Thats wrong. So XXXX  said that affirm says its valid. Now I can not buy a home. My credit is pristine. I will not pay for something I returned. {$2500.00} is a lot of money. This is nuts. I was denied access to affirm leadership, I asked that XXXX please send an email stating the account is not in their possession, denied again. I need this CHARGE OFF removed please. She is aware I have XXXX XXXX children and we do not collect ANY government help. I need to buy a home! I found it and now I can not finance it because of them.
