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:
On XX/XX/2021 after reviewing all three of my consumer reporting files I noticed some inaccuracies. The same day I mailed a certified letter to the U.S. Department of Education/XXXX, along with each of the 3 major credit bureaus ( XXXX, Experian and XXXX ) challenging the validity of the alleged debts. In addition, I requested the alleged debts be removed from my consumer file since it hadn't been validated by the original creditor ( Myself ). Despite the U.S. Dept of Ed and the bureaus receiving my request as of XX/XX/2021, I have yet to receive any remedy in regards to this matter. Considering the accounts are unvalidated and are negatively impacting my creditworthiness the investigation into these alleged debts are urgent. Moreover, both the alleged creditor and respective bureaus are in violation of several federal consumer finance laws. For example, Truth In Lending ( TILA ) 15 USC 1605, which defines a 'finance charge '. In short, a finance charge is defined, as the sum of ALL charges in ANY consumer credit transaction. If I understand this correctly, if I'm the original creditor and I extended my credit with the use of my social security number with respect to this consumer credit transaction, according 15 USC 1605 all I would be responsible for is the finance charge. This is a willful violation of my consumer rights. 

Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( FCRA ), Congress finds that the banking system is dependent on the fair ( not unjust advantage ) and accurate ( providing value ) credit reporting. Unfair credit reporting undermines public trust in the banking system.

Complaint:
I sent letters again on XX/XX/2021, in regards to things that are inaccurate and unknown on my credit report. To this day, over 35 days later, I have still not received a response yet. I think they are taking advantage of me and ignoring my disputes. In Section 611 ( a ), it plainly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 35 days so they should be deleted promptly. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person. This information violates the FDCPA section 807 and also FRCA 15 USC 1681 A, USC 1681 # 2. They are infringing on my right to privacy and I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately from my credit report or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
XXXX Credit Bureau, received two fraudulent claims that I was late on payments and destroyed my credit score. The companies that gave these false reports are XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX  XXXX. I had a {$2000.00} loan with XXXX XXXX and when I made the last payment OXXXX XXXX  claimed I refinanced my loan and that I owed them {$1800.00}. XXXX XXXX could not provide one piece of evidence attesting to the refinancing of my original loan. There is a report with CFPB concerning XXXX XXXX. 
I disputed this with XXXX but they wouldn't do anything about it and drove my credit score down to below average. 
The same scenario happened with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had charged approximately {$1400.00} dollars worth of vitamins from a company called XXXX, MD. Every payment I made the account balance remained the same and i was paying interest as if I wasn't making any payments at all. This went on for months and the amount owed on this account never went down. I complain to the CFPB and all of a sudden the balance went down to where I had only one payment remaining. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX contacted all three of the credit bureaus and told them I was over thirty days late on my last payment. However, all payments to XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX were on auto-pay and the monthly statements showed auto-pay. I disputed this and I provided copies of the monthly statements to each of the credit bureaus and pointed this statement out but they did nothing other than lower my credit score.

Complaint:
Elan Financial Services is destroying my credit rating- for the past 7 months, I have called 4 times to cancel this credit card. Every time I call- they tell me I can not cancel because they : 1 ) can not take a payment and cancel the card 2 ) can not give me access to the online portal and cancel the account 3 ) give me the cash value of my rewards and cancel the account 4 ) can not give me the cash back rewards as cash. 5 ) can not give me the earned cash back and cancel the card. I have not used the card in 5 months and they continue to charge late fees and report me for late payments even though I continue to ask them to cancel the card. They hang up and send me to the machines. The average call time is over 30 minutes. The people refuse to cancel the card and they refuse to even interact - saying that they don't have access to my account and then put me back through the answering machine. They continue to report delinquent payments on the card and charge me late fees and send me non-payment emails. Always saying that they can not cancel the card - suggesting that I have to wait, and have to be called back ( though never am ). I feel this is a predatory practice and Elan services is not working for their customers.
