Complaint:
XXXX sold my loans to AES. I have tried contacting them for months about making payments ( I ca n't log into the website ). They keep sending me bills each month with hundreds of dollars of accrued interest yet I am unable to make payments on their site. I 've payed thousands on the principle with XXXX yet the balance is higher then it was with XXXX, which makes no sense. I have never missed a payment, in fact I have paid YEARS ahead yet I owe more then the original amount.

Complaint:
The lender waived my late fee ( see attached ) ; but, refuses to set my credit report as " current ''. I was 30 days late due to contracting XXXX. Under the Cares Act, a lender has an obligation to report a consumer as current according to below : The CARES Act calls for creditors to adjust how they report accounts that have been modified. The law requires creditors to report any account that has a payment accommodation to it as current to the credit bureaus- as long as the account was current when the accommodations was made. This credit card lender made accommodations by waiving my late fee ( see attached " adjustment '' ) ; therefore, making accommodations. Based on this information and CARES Act, they should remove that late fee as they have an obligation to report that 30 day late - as current. ( see attached ). I was never late on this account and I've reached out several times to lender to adjust this report ; but, they refuse to do so. Therefore, this lender is violating the CARES act with regard to accommodate.

Complaint:
This is for a XXXX student loan. I did not receive any statements ( online or via mail ) starting after XX/XX/XXXX for my account. Every time I logged in to my account online, it said {$0.00} was due and that no interest was accruing. I thought that this was because of the federal student loan pause. In the middle of the month in XX/XX/XXXX, my account all of a sudden showed past due and interest had accrued ( my balance went up due to interest and late fees ). I did not receive a statement for this. I called the company in XXXX to ask what happened that they told me it was an internal error that erroneously marked my account as matured, and therefore it stopped sending me statements since XX/XX/XXXX. It was flagged in XX/XX/XXXX and then the account payments resumed, without them notifying me. I had just happened to log in to my online account for a second time that month to find out about the balance going up and past due payments. When I called the company in XX/XX/XXXX, they assured me this would not be reported to the credit bureaus and that I would need to file a forbearance form. I told them I didnt want future forbearance, but to have the past due amount and related interest removed from my account. I filled out the form anyway stating all of this info, and the they changed my account information online to show I was current and had late fees removed ( but interest from this time period was never removed ). In XXXX, I received notice from my credit monitoring service that my credit scores from all three credit bureaus had gone down by an average of XXXX points due to a missed payment on this student loan account that had been reported. I called the loan servicer to ask for this to be removed since it wasnt my fault, and they said it would be removed at the end of the month ( XXXX ) since the account now says current. I also filed a dispute with all 3 credit bureaus stating what happened. The dispute did not change the past due payment listed on the account. As of today ( XX/XX/XXXX ), my credit reports all still reflect the erroneously reported past due payment. I called the loan servicer today and they showed on their end they had reported to the credit bureaus that there are no past due payments and there was nothing else they could do. I asked them for a formal letter stating all of the above information in case I need it as an explanation for the negative mark on my credit report. They said they can send an email to me and request a formal letter, but it is not guaranteed.

Complaint:
I have been a customer of Bank of America for over ten years. the past 3 years I have had to dispute charges I didnt make and also replace my debit card 3 times in the last 2 years due to fraudulant activity on my account. Most recently on XX/XX/XXXX of 2022 I had too small charges pop up and a text came from Bank of America asking did I make these charges I said NO ... then a male clainming he worked for the bank asked was I trying to XXXX transfer money to some random person- I said NO. He stated all the values in my four accounts with the bank 2 are mine 2 my husbands. He said I had to enter a code to stop the transfer which I did. He said he was XXXX XXXX in the fraud dept. In fact he was lying and transferred money out of 3 of my accounts for a total of XXXX plus dollars.. I called the bank immediately to report this fraud they advised they would investigate and get back to me in 15 to 45 days. On XX/XX/XXXX I got the first of 3 letters stating that they had investigated this basically stated I did the transfers myself and that is not what happened on XX/XX/XXXX I called the Fraud dept again they said that they reached out to the bank where my money went and they refused to reimburse my money. BOA - basically offered me no help no recourse and they DO NOT protect accounts as they should. they didnt not even investigate this they sent out a letter in less than ten days even with Holidays included that just said this was my fault and it was not. This was a fraudulant theft of my accounts and they have done nothing. I can provide the letters they sent me in print or the emails they sent but I couldnt get them to download here.

I initially disputed this charge-off with Credit Bureau in XX/XX/2023, requesting verification of the debt. Despite my request, Credit Bureau has verified the charge-off without providing me with the method of verification or any proof of the debt. 
Here are the details of the disputed item : Account name : XXXX/XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account # XXXX XXXX Acct # XXXX 
XXXX XXXX Acct # XXXX XXXX  Acct # XXXX XXXX  Account # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Acct # XXXX I believe that the Bureaus actions are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to provide consumers with accurate information about their disputes. 
I kindly request the CFPB to investigate this matter and ensure that Bureau is complying with the FCRA. I also request that the charge-off be removed from my credit report because the bureaus can not provide proof of the debt. 
Please find attached copies of my correspondence with Credit Bureaus for your reference. 
COMPLAINT ID XXXX SUBMITTED ON XX/XX/2023 Thank you for your attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I filed XXXX disputes with TransUnion Credit Bureau to dispute a wrong information on my XXXX XXXX account. This account was paid off on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX closed the account ( as it was already paid off ) on XX/XX/XXXX. TransUnion is showing this account as with serious delinquencies as it was not paid on XXXX even when the account was totally paid off on XX/XX/XXXX. In all my disputes with TU they are replying me that according to their investigation their data is correct. I called XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX to verify the standing of my old account with them. XXXX XXXX said that they never received a complain/ dispute from TU regarding my account and if so they should have answered that my account was in perfect order and always paid on time and as agreed. It is evident that TransUnion made a mistake which they not even bother to investigate after receiving XXXX disputes and always cut and paste the same response : INVESTIGATION RESULTS- VERIFIED AS ACCURATE when they never even contacted the provider to process my dispute on their own wrong information. Amazing and a shame!!!
