Complaint:
This particular account situation that is lately filing on my own credit document has a seriously unfavorable relation to my personal ability to obtain a present loan application. I highly recommend you generate verification that Credit Union has been reported completely in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulations, it's really a serious problem to misreport. More confirmation of the aforesaid item too. My proper request must over, I was never 30 days/60 days/120 days late in any of my payments and I'm not greatly tuned in to the date opened so I prefer to ask you be investigated as soon as possible and confirmed to be correct. Thanks

State: IL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
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:
I disputed Equifaxs reporting of my student loan balance and payment status on XX/XX/2019. On XX/XX/2019, I received a {$17000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX payment bringing my student loan balance down from {$43000.00} to {$26000.00}. My loan was put into repayment status on that date too. 

It took Equifax 27 days to respond to my XX/XX/2019 dispute. In the meantime, my student loan servicer began reporting my loan balance and payment status correctly to all 3 credit reporting bureaus on XX/XX/2019. My Equifax credit score rose 16 points on that date. 

On XX/XX/2019, Equifax claimed that they verified the loan balance and payment status with my servicer ( XXXX XXXX ) however they obviously DID NOT as on XX/XX/2019, Equifax added the {$17000.00} back to my loan balance and put my repayment status back to in deferment. As a result of this error, my Equifax credit score has now dropped 16 points. The other 2 credit reporting agencies di NOT do this, only Equifax! 

In addition, I made a {$100.00} EARLY payment on the loan which was applied to my account on XX/XX/2019, by my loan servicer, four days before Equifax falsely reported the information on my credit report. 

Equifax did not verify the balance, payment status, or recent payment with my loan servicer ( XXXX XXXX ) as they claimed that they did. I have attached the most recent account information and payment history directly from my student loan servicer proving that Equifax is falsely reporting my student loan account information and is unlawfully harming my credit reputation, my creditworthiness, and my credit score. 

I am in the midst of applying for a car loan. I need a reliable car to get back and forth to work. I should not have to wait another 30 days for Equifax to correct their unlawful mistake so that I can qualify for a lower interest rate on a car loan. 

Had Equifax truthfully verified the data with my loan servicer, they would not have reported the old, outdated information. They should have verified that my student loan servicer had already fixed the incorrect data and it was being reported correctly on XX/XX/2019. Instead, they have unlawfully harmed my credit score! How many other consumers are suffering because of their false reporting?

Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
I have held accounts with Ally Bank for many years without issue, until recently. Through what I believe was malware infected onto my phone, several fraudulent transactions through XXXX XXXX and XXXX took well over {$2000.00} out of my checking account. The transactions appear as though they were sent to my life partner, XXXX XXXX, but none of the transactions arrived in his account. All of the money was siphoned off to a still unknown source. XXXX XXXX refuses to delve into the transactions because they appear to have gone to someone I know, despite repeatedly telling them the money never arrived where the transactions state. So I disputed the transactions through Ally. For reasons that have yet to be fully explained to me, the Ally fraud department has locked me out of my account while they " investigate '' the matter. I have called the Ally fraud department countless times, and am told nothing can be done at all until the investigation is complete. While I appreciate them investigating the fraudulent transactions, this has completely cut me off from all of my money. My rent, student loan payment, internet bill, and phone bill are all late. I have no money to buy food or medicine. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Ally has effectively ruined my life by locking me out of my account. I do not understand why a fraud investigation necessitates the account owner being completely cut all from all of his or her funds for an unspecified amount of time. I have been told it may take up to 90 days to resolve the investigation, which I find completely unreasonable. I would like to ask you reading this now, what if this happened to you? What if a crime happened to you where money was stolen right out of your bank account, and once you reported it to the bank, they completely locked your account, leaving you unable to pay any bills, buy food, or buy medicine? Would you find that acceptable?

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
MOHELA put my student loans into " Exceptional Discretionary Forbearance '' against my written instructions to do so. I submitted a XXXX XXXX application last year and I specifically marked not to put loans in forbearance. They were put into it anyway and now I can't get any clear information about how it is affecting my PSLF, if I even need to make payments at this time, and if the payment I made while in forbearance will count towards my PSLF? I tried to resolve this issue in XXXX before the payment pause ended, but it has been impossible to actually get in touch with anyone. I originally tried calling but after over XXXX hours on hold I was disconnected. This occurred on two different occasions. I submitted a message to them at the end of XXXX and just today received a generic response about getting my loans out of forbearance. I still have no idea what my actual loan payment should be, when it's due, or if it will count towards XXXX so I just make what I believe is an overpayment in order to make sure the whole amount gets covered, but I do not want to be making payments that aren't going to count towards PLSF.
