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.

Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
XXXX held my loan, I applied for deferred payment for several years and had requested information concerning forgiveness through my employment at a non profit hospital. XXXX refused to help and never disclosed the information about forgiveness through my employment. I applied for a VA loan with my veteran husband in XX/XX/2018. I was told I needed proof of my student loan repayment and was told to reapply for my income driven repayment plan. It was also suggested by my mortgage broker to apply for the nonprofit employment forgiveness program in which I did. I received a letter stating I was being processed for this program and assumed XXXX would contact me about further developments on my applications. I received emails from XXXX when my income driven application was received and when it was approved. I moved into my new home in XX/XX/2018. During my move I did not receive any further correspondence with XXXX. Then in XXXX I received a bill forwarded from my old address from XXXX. I had never heard of this company nor been notified about changes in my loan account. I called and spoke with a representative and questioned what was happening as I was sent a bill for an {$800.00} payment and a message that stated I missed the income driven repayment deadline. I was told XXXX sold my account and did not forward any income driven application or information of my application from XX/XX/2018. I have sent numerous emails and called XXXX. XXXX has not responded to any of my emails requesting they validate my application from XXXX so XXXX knows I applied then. My last phone conversation with a XXXX Representative I was told the {$800.00} bill would be removed from my billing and the new application was accepted with them for a {$120.00} payment. I received another email requesting the {$800.00} and a message stating my credit report would be marked negatively by this inability to pay the amount of the first bill they sent. I can not pay the {$800.00}. I have been treated unfairly by XXXX and XXXX. I will continue to persue help with this as I have done nothing wrong and been diligent in taking care to apply for income driven repayment as I am on a fixed budget. Please help me resolve this. I had XXXX  XXXX and was on FMLA from  XXXX XXXX XXXX and unable to fully deal with this stressful situation due to my medical issues. I would like to file a formal complaint against XXXX with student loan.gov for not informing me of the opportunity to apply for and receive forgiveness by working for a nonprofit hospital and not forwarding my application for income driven repayment I submitted to them XX/XX/2018. I need XXXX to correct my account and not make it out to be my fault Navient didnt send all my application information to XXXX.

State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX contaced XXXX, went into a Foreberance program with Freedom Mortgage under the Covid Care Act. Once this ended we did a Modification and was approved in XX/XX/XXXX, documents arrived to our home a notary came we signed and notorized and sent back to Freedom Mortgage. We began our payments and noticed statements that were mailed were not updated. My wife called to find out the problem, she was told it would be corrected. After several calls regarding the situation we were advised that they were behind in inputting data in their system. Not until XX/XX/XXXX after numerous calls a reprsentative took the time to investigate the problem. Turns out the docs we signed and notorized had the incorrect principal and interest therefore it never recoreded. Since this was Freedoms Mortgage error I asked for them to send the correct docs so we could be done with this. After severl months of calling for updates and not receiving updated docs we were informed we had to go through the modification process again. So we did, I received an approval letter for interest of 3.125 percent and I called to confirm that i accept, it was recorded and we began our new monthly payment. We received docs via XXXX  XXXX opened them and my wife noticed the cover letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX with the incorrect docs enclosed. I called Freedom Mortgage to adivse them of another errror on their part. Once again i was told the correct docs would arrive as they put me on priority notice. We to this date have not received the docs with the interest rate of 3.125 that i aggreed on. In the mean time after several calls we were informed that too much time had passed and we would have to go throught the process for the thrid time. I said that was not acceptible and i want the interest of 3.125 and modification that i agreed to. 
A reprsentative from Freedom Mortgage adivsed us to go through it agian for paper procdure so we will not go into Foreclosure. I wanted them to note that i agreed on the Letter dated XX/XX/XXXX of what i confirmed to accept with the 3.125 interest and due to Freedoms inability to process this on a timely mannor is not fault of mine, as the rest of this situation. I feel presurred becuase the new lettere i rececived on XX/XX/XXXX stated the new interest is 3.625 and we have to answer by XX/XX/XXXX. This company has failed to do there proper process and i have totally complied with all that they asked of me. I feel railroaded and i want this to be know and for someone to listen to me. 

thank you for your time XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Freeedom Mortgage Loan Numberf is XXXX

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
Dear Sir/Madam, I have reached out to all 3 credit bureaus multiple times to bring to their attention the presence of inaccurate charge-off accounts on my credit report, which are negatively impacting my credit profile and hindering my ability to secure financing for purchasing a home. I believe that these accounts have been improperly furnished onto my credit report, and I am now seeking assistance from the CFPB to rectify this matter. 

Firstly, I want to emphasize that according to the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ), charge-off accounts are considered ordinary income and cancelled debt. As such, it is crucial that any charge-off accounts reported on my credit profile be accurate and compliant with applicable laws and regulations. However, I have discovered that the following accounts have been inaccurately reported as charge-off accounts on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX : XXXX Furthermore, I would like to highlight that I have not received a Form 1099-C for any of the aforementioned accounts. The failure to provide a Form 1099-C, as required by U.S. Code 15 U.S.C. 1681eb, is a violation of my rights as a consumer. I firmly believe that the absence of this required documentation further invalidates the accuracy and legitimacy of these charge-off accounts on my credit report.

In light of these discrepancies and violations, I kindly request that immediate action be taken to investigate and rectify this situation. Specifically, I request that the CFPB promptly assist with removal of the aforementioned accounts from my credit report, as they have been inaccurately reported and are causing significant harm to my creditworthiness.

Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in resolving this dispute. I look forward to a favorable resolution and the removal of these inaccurate charge-off accounts from my credit report. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I have 2 mortgages I just refinanced. The mortgages were transferred to this company. This company is a joke! 
Everything I am saying below occurred on XX/XX/19. 
I went to sign up on their website which is completely archaic. It wouldn't let me sign up without emptying my Cache on my computer. I have never heard of such a thing. Then I got signed up for one of my loans but it would not let me pay the loan through the website. So I didn't bother to sign up for the second mortgage. Then, I called them to pay my loans and they said the wait time was one hour and there was no way to leave a phone number for someone to call you back. So, I am going to pay my loans by snail mail and hope they apply them correctly. They have 500 one star reviews on XXXX. They're acting like a mismanaged, dysfunctional company and now I don't trust them to handle my personal information correctly. I wish you would investigate.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: MA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't temporarily delay making payments

Complaint:
The complaint is in response to a phone call made to Nelnet concerning my request to have inaccurate late payments removed from my credit report. My credit report reflects several late payments XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. During all of those time periods my loans were placed in an Administrative Forbearance meaning that my account should have not only been brought current but also backdated to reflect that. During the phone I was told that such reports could not be removed unless I was in the military. The representative explained that although I am correct the Administrative Forbearance is backdated making those payments current once Nelnet reports to the credit bureaus it could not be corrected. Contrary to these assertions, by failing to update previously reported information, Nelnet is in violation of Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA.

I have attached an FTC advisory opinion, which interprets Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA. The issue posed in the advisory opinion is how a lender is to handle a situation when subsequent information updates a report that was allegedly accurate when it was made but no longer is accurate in the present time ( i.e., the identical situation I am currently in ).

The advisory opinion states that the Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA addresses the duty to correct and update information by furnishers, or persons who furnish information to consumer reporting agencies ( CRA ) such as credit bureaus. In particular, this section requires a person that has furnished to a consumer reporting agency information that the person determines is not complete or accurate to promptly notify the consumer reporting agency of that determination and provide any information needed to make it complete and accurate. Thus, on its face, this provision requires a furnisher to provide corrected or updated information to the consumer-reporting agency that it had reported to originally. This duty extends to all student loan accounts reported to CRAs, regardless of whether they were accurate at one point, because the section requires the furnisher both to update accounts as well as to correct.

Nelnet representatives told me that because the delinquent payments were accurately reported that any subsequently initiated forbearance would not allow for Nelnet to update reports to CRAs to show that the payments were not late and actually in forbearance. However, Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) clearly shows that the reports must be updated/corrected regardless of whether they were accurate at one point. * These inaccuracies are hurting my life in a major way and should be corrected.
