State: CO
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I submitted a complaint to the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau on XX/XX/XXXX, 2 of the 3 companies responded on XX/XX/XXXX they include XXXX Credit Bureau and XXXX Credit Bureau. Experian did not yet respond which also is an issue. All the information listed on my consumer report was added through identity theft. 15 USC 1681B clearly states the consumer must provide written consent for anything added to their consumer report. Which means they obtained all information through identity theft because I did not consent. That is also a violation of 18 USC1028A aggravated identify theft and the privacy act of XXXX seeing as they shared my SSN. According to 15 USC 1681C-2 the consumer reporting agency has 4 business days to block information resulting from alleged identity theft. It has been 4 days since they opened their investigation and no action has been taken.

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 am XXXX XXXX. I am submitting this complaint for myself. I obtained my Experian Credit Report and there was a Bankruptcy reporting from U. S. Bankruptcy Court listed on my credit report. I never gave Experian any written consent to report or furnish my Bankruptcy public records. A Consumer has a right to privacy. 

I wrote Experian and notified them of the law they were breaking under the FCRA in addition asked them to provide me with copies of all documentation associated with these Public Record Accounts bearing either a court order to place this information in my credit report, or my authorization of release bearing my signature. They responded with updating my account and ignored my rights as Consumer. 

I also sent sent experian a letter from the bankrupt courts in which they mailed me letters which emphatically stated that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or other third-party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the U. S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW

Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting the removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days, and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 3-4 months.

Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
I never received formal documentation that Navient obtained my Stafford Loans and I never got to choose a repayment plan and never was notified that my loan repayment had begun. As a result, I am MANY months late and faced a huge credit score hit ( Down 150 points ) recently. If I had known about Navient collecting my loan i would have had no problem paying it off but now I'm way behind and my credit score is way worse.When I told Navient to send me any documentation of me agreeing to the term of the loans or my repayment options they told me I to go to StudentLoans.gov and look those up for myself which doesn't seem right. 

The total of the loans is {$22000.00} and the repayment began in XX/XX/2018  but I first learned of this only a couple of weeks ago.
