In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts?

Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

I finished my XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX and went back for my XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX. The deferment I had only lasted till the middle of XXXX of XXXX and a repayment was scheduled for a few days later. I was late on the XXXX and XXXX payments in XXXX and started getting calls in XXXX. I called back because I thought they didn't have me listed as enrolled ( they didn't ). I was told they would apply forbearance to my account and everything was taken care of all I needed to do is get my school to confirm my enrollment. Recently, I have been looking into a private student loan to cover XXXX  school and am working on my credit. I noticed my payment percentage is relatively low and found out the payments that had forbearance applied to them are shown as late and 100+ days past due. I talked to my loan servicer ( FedLoan ) and figured out the part about the forbearance as it had been long enough I had trouble remembering. I asked them why they were still listed as late and they told me since the forbearance was retroactive they are still late. From my understanding that doesn't matter since the payments are not being required and is true regardless of whether or not it is retroactive. I haven't seen any comments refering to the forbearance on my credit report either and asked if them not correcting the payments violated 632 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA  and they didn't say anything definitively just insinuated I wanted them to do me a favor. I have all the email correspondence if it is needed. I may be wrong about it, but from what I've seen it I don't think it works that way and it is really felt like they have tried to push me to not question any of it.
Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit

I opened a new Discover Credit Card account in the spring of 2019 because of their Cashback Match promotion.I have asked several times to have my limit increased, but they have limited my credit allowance to $4,700, while the card in my husband's name has a limit of $XXXX. This seems to be SEXUAL DISCRIMINATION. I have a FICO score of XXXX, as does he. There is no justifiable reason for the difference in credit limit.My husband & I have had joint credit card accounts with Discover for at least 20 years. We also have a joint Discover Savings & Checking accounts with $32,000+ balance, and own 2 homes and 3 cars with no mortgages or any kind of loan. We pay our bills in full, on time every month.We should be treated like valuable customers, but at this point, we are not being treated that way.

Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

I am very concerned about the validity and accuracy of the recent investigation done by Equifax. I requested for an investigation because the accounts have nothing to do with me. I am a victim of identity theft and the accounts are not my responsibility. Equifax failed to give me the result of their investigation. I assume they were unable to verify it. The error has affected my credit score tremendously. CFPB please step up and delete this ASAP, this is very exhausting, nobody wants to grant me a loan because of this.

Complaint sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

CitiBank reported a 30 day delinquent payment to the credit reporting agencies on my behalf. This submission came after I spoke with a Citi representative who informed me I was in good standing and up to date on my payments. The reason I contacted Citi in the first place was to ensure I was not delinquent on my payments, since I'm well aware of what delinquent payments can do to a person 's credit score. I had not used this particular credit card in a number of months and wanted to make completely sure I was in good standing. Roughly 10 days later I see that my credit score has fallen 100 points. I immediately started calling each of my credit card providers to see what the issue could be. After speaking to Citi they informed me that I had a 30 day delinquent payment. I did not receive ANY notification from Citi that my payment was late, including in my online portal, via email, via phone etc. again, I had spoken to a Citi representative just a couple of weeks earlier who  assured me my balance wasn't due until the following month 's billing period. When I asked Citi to resolve this they told me to fax a physical letter to the " Citi Credit Bureau Disputes '' team. I have since faxed 4 separate letters and have not heard one response from Citi.
