Complaint:
My mom informed me that I received a letter in the mail from where I used to live stating that I owed a debt of child support. I have never been put on child support. I did a little investigating and I was told that someone has given my name and social security number to claim money every month. They have the wrong person. I decided to pull my credit report and it showed the exact same thing and several other accounts that had been opened under my name. These are unknown suspicious items I have never seen in my life. Please remove these fraudulent items from my credit report.

State: MD
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
I was hoping to be able to see a week go by without needing to open a complaint against EQUIFAX, who for some reason has been persistent in screwing up either my or my wife 's credit report, or both. This time it's about a score decrease that at the same time that a new credit card was reported to the three credit bureaus, the score increased as it should on my XXXX credit report 51 points and on my XXXX  31 points. 

Now the change to my Equifax reporting was just the opposite that resulted in a 31 point DECREASE in point score that puts my Equifax score back down to their number XXXX which is what they have in the past locked my credit score at ( meaning regardless of payments made the score does not change ). It is always an ongoing battle to get Equifax to correct the intentional " errors '' that constantly make sure are in our reporting ( look at the plethora of complaints ) files this year only. No need to mention that they have been on a mission to keep our credit scores below a certain threshold to name just one of the ongoing problems we've been consistently fighting to get resolved. 

They will respond to this complaint as they do with the various others saying they will investigate, get back later, need more time. But has NEVER address any of the complaints to correct the wrongful damage they continue to render to our credit reports. 

See attached screenshots ... 

Both my wife and my credit accounts have no negative accounts or payment history for nearly two years, yet they are determined to make us look bad. They have even deleted a paid and closed accounts from my Equifax reporting that they provider confirmed on yesterday in a letter to me that they have asked Equifax to put back. We told that my wife and I are apparently targeted ...

Complaint:
Equifax continues to deny me access to my credit report for over one year. I have mailed them certified letters with drivers license showing my name and proof of address, and additionally I have faxed and mailed this information along with utility bills. They took months to mail me my first report after several faxes. I sent all letters certified mail and faxes too. I have recently began accessing my report online weekly via XXXX XXXX XXXX. Now they say I should call and do not allow me access to my report online. I was able to access last week, I filed a complaint. But today, XX/XX/2022, they deny me again. I recorded the phone conversation, they do not allow me to verify and their auto attendant does not let me talk to a person. They say I need to mail verification again. For over two years I have repeatedly verified my identity with them. This is in violation of my consumer rights to access my report and verify its accuracy. It appears they may be willfully withholding my report from me because I have filed complaints against them. Therefore I will verify my identity and correspondence through the CFPB only from this point forward.

Company: MOHELA
State: WV
Product: Debt or credit management
Sub-product: Student loan debt relief
Issue: Didn't provide services promised

Complaint:
I have been working with Mohela since XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  to get my student loans forgiven. They did not provide services as promised, ( but that is another story ). The issue I am most concerned about is that on XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed by them my 120 payment requirement was fulfilled and now I have a XXXX balance. My letter also said it could take up to 3 reporting cycles for the credit reporting agencies to be notified. It is now XX/XX/XXXX th, and my credit report still shows I owe on these loans. I have disputed this with the credit reporting agency, and nothing has changed. I actually received a higher interest rate on my Mortage and should not have because they had not reported this. Never the matter, I would just like this resolved and removed from my report. It is very difficult to get in touch with them. You have to stay on hold for over an hour and can never talk with a supervisor.
