Sub-product: Federal student loan debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Hi and how are you doing? Im not sure who to take this to anymore, but Ive disputed this account several times with both the original creditor and the credit reporting agencies accordingly and Ive attached everything to support my dispute. However, I continue to received a pre-template letter sent to me that its been verified and it REMAINS. How is it possible that this was verified if you continue to report incomplete, inconsistent, inaccurate, and unverifiable information on this account and a thorough and in-dept investigation. Ive disputed and I havent received anything as such, but it continues to be reported in violation of the consumer laws. 
Continues to report wrong balance, incorrect date of first delinquency, wrong date of last active, inconsistent payment status, high balance and actual balance is questionable, etc. I believe that section 609 of FCRA also allows me to ask for detail information about the account and how you indeed investigated and your detail process. Im extremely upset and shocked about the way this charge-off account is reporting on my credit report which continues to report with incomplete, inconsistent and unverifiable Info. How can you honestly say that you verified as it being accurate? This was NOT verified! I am requesting this investigation under the authorization of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 623. ( a ) ( 8 ) ability of consumer to dispute information directly with the furnisher. 

What I am disputing : The account you have reported to the three credit bureaus. My basis for this dispute is that I have no knowledge of this account.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I just received a copy of my credit report and to my surprise, I noticed that my right to privacy has been violated. By no means have I given you any permission to report non-public personal information without written consent. Nor have I provided any financial institution, or third party ( collection agencies ) authority to obtain any information. 

In regards to 15 U.S. Code 6802 Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information ( c ) Limits on reuse of information Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, a nonaffiliated third party that receives from a financial institution nonpublic personal information under this section shall not, directly or through an affiliate of such receiving the third party, disclose such information to any other person that is a nonaffiliated third party of both the financial institution and such receiving the third party, unless such disclosure would be lawful if made directly to such other person by the financial institution. 

I do not consent to any third party obtaining non-personal information without my knowledge or notice. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) was enacted to protect the confidential information on consumers ' credit reports from misuse, fraud, and theft. It gives consumers the right to ensure that the information on their credit reports is not only correct but private. 

Also in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1681a Definitions ; rules of construction, ( 2 ) ( C ) any report in which a person who has been requested by a third party to make a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly to a consumer conveys his or her decision with respect to such request, if the third party advises the consumer of the name and address of the person to whom the request was made, and such person makes the disclosures to the consumer required under section 1681m of this title. 

Due to the breach of my privacy, I am requesting the following items be Deleted Immediately.

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

Complaint:
Hello, for my loan with Dovenmuehle Mortgage out of IL, Loan number XXXX. We were affected by Covid-19 and due to that we went into a Covid forbearance for 3 months. We are now awaiting a Flex Modification. I have been trying to keep my credit score as high as possible but as we all know, most of the score comes from Debt ratio and how much debt is owed. Dovenmuehle is reporting incorrectly and in my opinion illegally. It shows current which is good, shows no late fees which is good, but is shows my balance increasing over XXXX a month! Due to this, my scores have dropped over 30 points! Now this will greatly affect my chances at a better interest rate when the underwriter calls me for the Flex modification with XXXX and Dovenmuehle! 

This is not good reporting and from what I am reading on your site and everything else the balance should not show increasing and therefore negatively affecting my credit score and my husband 's credit score which will be ultimately be driving our modification offers! 

This needs corrected and I have not gotten anywhere with the company at all.
