Complaint:
I have disputed a tower loan issue with Equifax over and over. On Equifax website and XXXX XXXX website, it reads secure loan from XXXX XXXX. I got a unsecured loan from them! It has been removed from my XXXX credit and I'm waiting on XXXX. Clearly at the time I had nothing to secure the loan with this I know. 
I'm just trying to clear up the situation without taking legal steps. Also before I even dispute my report my credit score was higher and when my dispute got declined they took XXXX points from me.

Complaint:
Since XXXX until now I have been sending Experian certified letters ( see several attachments ) requesting that they correct inaccurate and incomplete information that they have continued to list in two XXXX XXXX accounts on my Experian credit report. Despite my letters and information from the original creditor that contradicts them, Experian has refused to correct their errors and has only responded with saying the incorrect information has been " verified ''. The incorrect information as of XX/XX/XXXX is : These accounts are reporting me dead despite me providing Experian with Proof of Life ( see attachment ) and multiple telephone conversations where they verified I was alive, 2. These accounts are still reporting Account Balances of {$1100.00} and {$4400.00} even after they have been discharged by XXXX XXXX  with 1099Cs ( see attachment ), neither of these balances should not be on the report, 3. These accounts are missing all the Payment History from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX as well as showing no positive Payment History before the closure of these accounts ( see attachment ), 4. These accounts are not reporting the Date of Last Activity, the Date of Last Payment, the Date of 1st Delinquency and the Date Closed ( see attachment ), and 5. Without those dates, the Drop Off Date is incorrect.

Company: MOHELA
State: MI
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
My direct student loans are serviced by MOHELA. Before the payment pause, I was on the REPAYE program. MOHELA automatically switched me to the SAVE program, but is incorrectly calculating the payment and has not responded to my inquiries. Specifically : the payment amount would be correct if I was a single filer ( disposable income calculated with a one person poverty line amount ), but I filed married filing jointly ( no dependents, so a 2 person poverty line should be used ), and my wife also has federal student loans ( so my payment amount should be pro-rated by the proportion of our loan balances ). 

I have not been able to reach MOHELA by phone, and they have not responded to email inquiries.

Complaint:
EXPERIAN has no respect for the laws. They claim they verified an account and per Metro 2 standards for accuracy they clearly did not investigate this account. The account reporting as XXXX XXXX is reporting late payments in XXXX and XXXX of 2022 however there is no payment history for those dates. I informed EXPERIAN I have never been late on this account. EXPERIAN needs to update the payment history for all dates as paid as ageeed or delete this account immediately due to inaccurate and incomplete reporting.

Receipt of Investigation Results : While awaiting the mailed copy of the Investigation Results, I urge XXXX to ensure the document encapsulates all necessary details, with clear delineation of all updates and modifications made to my credit file. 
The absence of transparency and detailed information in the summary is causing significant financial uncertainty and distress. I look forward to your thorough and detailed response within the stipulated XXXX period as outlined in the FCRA.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Complaint:
I enrolled in a promotion where American Express Hilton XXXX XXXX advertised in XX/XX/2022, that AMEX will award the credit card holder XXXX bonus additional points for every {$500.00} spent ( up to a maximum of XXXX bonus points ). The verbiage on the promo was confusing. So I called American Express customer service to confirm that if I made a lump purchase of {$2500.00}, that I would be awarded XXXX Hilton Honors points. 
The American Express rep that I spoke with confirmed this, which was why I decided to make a lump sum payment of over {$2500.00} later in XX/XX/2022. When the statement cycle ended, American Express only awarded me XXXX Hilton Honors points for the purchase of more than {$2500.00}. 

I subsequently have made 2 phone calls which have lasted over XXXX XXXX with American Express about this error and they have failed to properly credit my Hilton Honors account with the missing XXXX bonus points.
