State: FL

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

Complaint:
The Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S.C. 552a ) outlines the requirement to provide notice to individuals in cases where personal information is being collected. In my case, the authority for collecting my information is 451 et seq. of the Higher Education Act ( HEA ) of 1965, as amended ( 20 U.S.C. 1087a et seq. ), and the authorities for collecting and using my Social Security Number ( SSN ) are 428B ( f ) and 484 ( a ) ( 4 ) of the HEA ( 20 U.S.C. 1078-2 ( f ) and 1091 ( a ) ( 4 ) ), as well as 31 U.S.C. 7701 ( b ). I understand that participating in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan ( Direct Loan ) Program and providing my SSN are voluntary, but the requested information, including my SSN, must be provided to participate. 

The principal purposes for collecting my information, including my SSN, as stated in the Privacy Act notice, are to verify my identity, determine my eligibility for loans or loan benefits under the Direct Loan Program, service my loan ( s ), and, if necessary, locate me and report on my loan ( s ) in the event of delinquency or default. My SSN is also used as an account identifier and to grant me electronic access to my account information. 

Despite having followed the required procedures and submitted my 1099-C ( Cancellation of DebXXXX ) form, I have yet to receive any response or resolution to my concerns. This lack of response and engagement in addressing my issue is causing significant distress and hindrance to my financial well-being. I kindly request that you promptly acknowledge my previous submissions and initiate a resolution process to address the issues at hand. 

I believe that my rights under the Privacy Act and other federal and state constitutions are being infringed upon by the continued reporting of my student loan information to credit bureaus. I am eager to work with your office to resolve these concerns in a mutually beneficial manner. Please treat this matter with the utmost urgency and priority, as it affects my personal financial situation and rights. 

I look forward to receiving your response at your earliest convenience.

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

Complaint:
I reviewed my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX, Transunion and XXXX. I discovered I have fraudulent credit accounts appearing on my credit report. This is not my account and I have submitted fraud claim to XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX. You are to remove this fraud account immediately before i pursue legal action. Under federal regulations this does not qualify as a " valid verification of debt ". I have previously sent you a request to validate my debt under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and all I received was an itemized list of the alleged charges you claim I owe you. This does not meet the Federal Trade Commissions guidelines of what constitutes proper debt validation. In addition, in the case of Spears Vs. Brennan ( IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF INDIANA, No. 49A02-0003-CV-169 ), the court ruled that : 15 U.S.C . 1692g ( b ) ( emphasis added ). On XX/XX/XXXX nineteen days after the date of Brennans debt collection letter, XXXX counsel XXXX sent XXXX a letter declaring that XXXX disputes your debt collection-related allegations, denies the same, and demands strict proof and verification thereof. Record at 21. As such, XXXX should have ceased his debt collection efforts immediately upon receiving that letter. Instead, XXXX proceeded to obtain a default judgment against XXXX on the debt collection claim before he had mailed XXXX the necessary verification and, thus, violated 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ). XXXX maintains, however, that there was no violation of the FDCPA because he sent adequate verification of the debt [ to XXXX ] in the XX/XX/XXXX notice of claim. Brief of Appellee at 13. Specifically, XXXX claims that a copy of the consumer credit contract between XXXX and XXXX XXXX attached to the notice of claim provided sufficient verification of the debt within the meaning of 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ). We can not agree. The contract in no way provides sufficient verification of the debt. A review of the document reveals that it identifies only the terms of XXXX loan, including a 17.99 % annual interest rate and the original loan amount of {$2500.00}. The loan agreement contains no accounting of any payments made by XXXX, the dates on which those payments were made, the interest which had accrued, or any late fees which had been assessed once XXXX stopped making the required payments. Indeed, the existing unpaid contract balance at the time XXXX sent the debt collection notice was at least {$350.00} more than the original loan amount.

Complaint:
I received a copy of my credit report and found the following itemsto be errors. You know, I'm tired of sending letter after letter to your company.

Complaint:
I greatly appreciate the time and effort made by the Credit Reporting Agencies in removing a portion of the fraudulent accounts and information reported on my Credit File. However, there are still accounts that should have been removed but remain on my Credit File. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Credit Reporting Agencies are legally obligated to investigate and remove any accounts and information resulting from fraudulent activities. The disputed accounts have no relation to any transactions where I obtained goods, services, or money, nor did I authorize them. Therefore, I kindly request that the Credit Bureaus block the reporting of any information in my credit file that resulted from identity theft. Please remove the remaining accounts and information off of my Credit File as soon as possible ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00}. Furthermore, I have noticed discrepancies in the information provided by the Credit Bureaus. Some accounts that have been deleted by other bureaus still appear in the reports provided by the Credit Bureaus involved. This raises doubts about the accuracy of the reported information. Additionally, the reported payment history on some accounts is unclear to me. I would appreciate clarification on these matters.

Complaint:
Im resubmitting a complaint to you today to inform you I was the victim of identity theft. I researched on how to remove the fraudulent items in my report and found that I need to visit FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION or XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to file a report Per FCRA section 605b Credit Reporting Agencies are required to remove any item listed on an id theft report. Please find the ATTACHED documents to assist in blocking the erroneous information which is being posted to my report.

Here is the list of items that do not belong to me or were opened without my permission.

Sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Complaint:
US Bank claims to have sent me information via USPS Ground regarding my Cash+ Visa being forced to change to Altitude Go World Elite XXXX. I have received no information and do not consent to this change. When I called, I spoke with XXXX ( ID XXXX ) who told me my options are either accept the change ( since it has already occurred without my knowledge ) or close the credit card ( which would affect my credit score negatively ). They refuse to send me the information about the change via Registered Mail or email. They did not supply me with information about the change within the 45 days before it occurred as required by law. They refused to verify the address they claimed to have sent the original information regarding the forced change. 

Changing products from XXXX to XXXX renders this credit card useless in my area since none of the retailers I choose to use the card with accept XXXX. 

This forced change has put me in a very precarious financial situation. I do not know if I am being charged annual fees nor do I know the terms of this new card. I have not received the new card in the mail. I've asked them to put a hold on the card so that no purchases can be made since they refused to verify the address they have on file for me ( in the event they send the card to the wrong address ). I have paid any remaining balance on the original card. 

This seems unlawful at best and predatory at worst. Why do I not have the option to close this forced account without it affecting my credit score negatively? Why are they not being held accountable for forcing their customers into these situations without their knowledge or consent?
