Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

For the last year I have been actively requesting Experian to remove the below account that is fraudulently linked to my account. Each month I follow procedure and submit a dispute letter accompanied by a FTC Report, yet the company refused to acknowledge the fraud. Today XX/XX/25 I was informed that the last 5 dispute letters I submitted had not been processed one of which is attached to another CFPB complaint I have with the company. In that complaint I provided proof that the debtor was reporting misinformation across my bureaus and Experian NEVER PROCESSED THE REQUEST! They are actively refusing to acknowledge factual documentation that would warrant a removal of this account. In retaliation for my complaint Experian misused a dispute for a credit inquiry to remove all my positive revolving credit accounts with XXXX XXXX! They also refused to remove the one account listed in the report that I did not belong on. Experian has stripped me of my consumer right to fair credit reporting and has maliciously caused me extended financial harm. I have requested an investigation into this matter with Experian supervision and they declined to assist.

Hello CFPB, I would like to file a formal compliant. This company has not sent me a bill to my address or email. Nor called me to tell me the bill was late. I do auto pay with this company and was never notified that any payments were not made. This company reported the bill as late and the bill was paid out of my checking account and later reversed due to a return check. This company never made me aware of this billing issue because they have all my information wrong. Wrong billing address wrong email and contact time. It was not until I got ready to purchase a car my credit dropped that I noticed the payment was not taken for the month of XXXX. I called this company and spoke to the servicing department and they agreed that it was a billing error and they will update it with the credit reporting agencies after I file a dispute. 

However to my surprise they updated and verified that the account was past due. per section 1026.10 Payments. 

" ( 1 ) General rule. A creditor may specify reasonable requirements for payments that enable most consumers to make conforming payments. '' I feel like I was not reasonable notified of any payment errors. I would like them to 1. update all my information correctly and remove the past due status on my report because they are in volition of section 1026.10 of the regulation.

This afternoon, I was shocked to see incorrect accounts suddenly appearing on my credit report without any explanation. I check my report regularly, so I was startled to find discrepancies that seemed to appear out of nowhere. I even refreshed my browser, thinking it might be a glitch, but the inaccurate accounts stayed right there. I truly hope the documents Ive sent will be reviewed closely, so I can finally put this concern to rest.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA (NC)

Mohela is applying unfair, deceptive and abusive practices resulting in my payment to be approximately five times higher than the amount it should be and is delaying processing of federal government forms so I can not tell how many payments are left to be made on my loan. 

I used Mohela 's online self service tool to submit an IDR application on XX/XX/XXXX in order to receive a lower payment that I am eligible for under the terms of the student loan program during the income self-certification window. The form input on their website showed my payment should decrease to {$430.00} per month. Mohela processed the form wrong and has instead increased my payment to $ XXXX. I called and spoke to customer service on XX/XX/XXXX who acknowledged that the form appeared to have been processed erroneously and stated it should be corrected in a week. They have not made the correction and have in fact accelerated the end of my administrative processing forbearance so now show that the incorrectly high payment will be due even sooner. 

I submitted an updated PSLF application and employer certification on XX/XX/XXXX to have my PSLF counts updated. Although Mohela 's website says these are generally processed in 30 days and, at most in 90 days, my form still shows as " processing '' after almost five months. Until Mohela processes this form, I am unable to determine how many qualifying payments I am due to still make under the XXXX program.

This letter is written to address issues with the accuracy of information in a recent credit report. A thorough examination of the report revealed several contradictions that demand further investigation.

I am knowledgeable about the specifics of the Fair Credit Reporting Act because I practice careful consumer behavior. This law enables individuals to challenge and request changes to any inaccurate information on their credit reports.

Due to familiarity with the Fair Trade Commission 's ( FTC ) guidelines, these errors in the credit report raise concerns. These errors are a chance for me to verify what I know about how credit reporting functions and, more importantly, how effective the laws that control it are, even though I didn't anticipate them. 

I am aware that consumers have the right to contest the veracity of their credit reports under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The FTC is responsible for enforcing this federal law, which has safeguards to protect our interests and ensure that information about credit is presented accurately and fairly. 

I'm currently making use of this right to challenge the FCRA violations because these problems demand further investigation. Given that it improves their capacity to monitor and maintain their financial health, this law is extremely valuable to consumers. 

I'm hoping for a satisfactory and swift resolution in accordance with these regulations in light of this. Not only will prompt action be advantageous, but it will also highlight the significance and value of these consumer protection laws.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: National Credit Adjusters, LLC (TN)

I am writing to formally dispute a debt reported by NCA on my credit report, which I was previously unaware of. I believe this entry to be in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( a ), which mandates proper notification to consumers before reporting a debt to credit agencies. 

To date, I have not received any notification from NCA regarding this alleged debt prior to it appearing on my consumer report. Under the FDCPA, debt collectors are required to provide written notice of the debt within five days of their initial contact, including information on how to dispute the debt. I have not received such notification, which constitutes a failure to comply with this requirement. 

If NCA contends that they have provided proper notification of this debt, I request that they provide proof of such notification, including the certified mail receipt with my signature, to substantiate their claim. 

I am serving this letter as both a formal complaint against NCA for their non-compliance with the FDCPA and as a pre-arbitration notice. Should my consumer rights not be respected and this false account is not removed from my credit report, I will be compelled to initiate arbitration proceedings to address the false and misleading practices in violation of the FDCPA and my consumer rights. 

Please investigate this matter and assist me in resolving this issue promptly. I would appreciate a written response from the CFPB regarding the steps taken to address this dispute. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

We have travel insurance and could get this reimbursed but they are asking for a copy of the medical report and itemized bill. The merchant told me only recently that they sent this information to my partner 's email and due to HIPPA can provide it to me. My partner is unable to make his own decisions now and can not access his own email to access the information. I believe this is unfair to me considering I am already traumatized and now financially being charged this amount with interest.

Re : Complaint Against Credit Bureaus for Unresolved Identity Theft Issues I am writing to formally report an unresolved issue with certain credit bureaus regarding fraudulent accounts on my credit report as a result of identity theft. Upon reviewing my credit reports, I identified two unauthorized accounts : XXXX XXXX Account Account Number : XXXX Outstanding Amount : {$2300.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Account Number : XXXX Outstanding Amount : {$1100.00} In an attempt to rectify this, I initiated disputes with the credit bureaus through written communication on two separate occasions. Regrettably, despite my earnest efforts to resolve this critical matter, I have not received any acknowledgment or response to my disputes. The presence of these fraudulent accounts has not only severely impacted my credit score but has also caused significant distress in my personal life. I had taken the necessary measures in good faith, expecting the credit bureaus to address and correct these inaccuracies. It is deeply concerning that these disputes have seemingly been overlooked or ignored. I implore the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene in this matter and facilitate a just and prompt resolution. Your esteemed bureau 's assistance in ensuring the removal of these unauthorized accounts from my credit report will be invaluable in restoring both my credit standing and peace of mind. Thank you for your prompt attention to this grave concern. I am hopeful for a favorable outcome with your guidance and intervention. Warm regards, XXXX XXXX
