Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't temporarily delay making payments
Company: SLM CORPORATION (OH)

I cosigned two student loans through Sallie Mae for my daughter XXXX XXXX. XXXX became seriously ill in 2021 and has been off work without pay due to her illness. She had major XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and then a second XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and spent over XXXX weeks at XXXX XXXX XXXX. She is scheduled for a third XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX where they will be removing a portion of the left side of her brain. She will need many months of recovery before we know if the XXXX was successful or not and if she will be able to go back to work. Sallie Mae informed us the only way they can do anything about the loans is if she is declared permanently XXXX but we wont know that for quite a while. At this time she is no longer able to work , drive, or even be by herself. She needs constant care 24 hours a day. They are now coming after me for the loan payments and I understand that I am responsible as the cosigner. However, when I co-signed those loans I was making quite a bit more money and unfortunately I was laid off of my job that I held for 13 years due to no fault of my own and I now make considerably less. I struggle to pay my bills and I have almost completely wiped out my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. When the loans went 60 days past due it reported to my credit and knocked my score down XXXX points. This was devastating to me at the age of XXXX! Sallie Mae informed me that once the loans default in the end of XXXX I can have my wages garnished or a lien put on my home. If they garnish my wages theres absolutely no way I can afford to pay my living expenses. The equity in my home is all the money that I have at my age and if they come after that I dont even know what the point of living is anymore. XXXX XXXX has been absolutely devastating to our whole family and now we are both being ruined financially for something that is totally out of our control. I would pay the loans if I had the money but I just dont have it and I dont know where to come up with it. I already know that I have to work until Im XXXX XXXX XXXX because I dont have any money for retirement.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by XXXX . I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Inconsistent Payment History Reporting : The payment history for this account is reported inconsistently across the three major credit bureaus. For instance, TransUnion, XXXX and XXXX show 30 and 60-day late payments for the same time period. 

On-Time Payments : I have attached bank statements and payment confirmations showing that all payments were made on time. The evidence provided contradicts the late payment information currently reported by the credit bureaus. 

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: FirstPoint Collection Resources (NC)

the credit bureau never did a propre " investigation " according to the FCRA the term " investigate consumer report '' means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer 's 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 information.

they did not do this.

Also, they have violated my right even more in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting.

The credit bureau stated my account was properly investigated, but how is that possible if the open date is inaccurate, the date last active is inaccurate, and date last reported is not accurate. This is ground for removal.

They also violated the law, because according to 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

15 U, S.C 1681 section 604 A section 2 : It also states a Comsumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

I did not give anybody written instructions.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold
Company: OneMain Finance Corporation (OR)

My account number is XXXX with One Main Financial. There is not an option available for what the issue is. 

Concern : I notified One Main in XX/XX/XXXX that the vehicle used to secure my loan was non-operable, requiring over XXXX XXXX in repairs and even if the repairs were made there was no guarantee that it would resolve the issues. I then asked them to come to get the vehicle so it could be auctioned and the proceeds applied to the balance, after this was resolved we could discuss any outstanding balance and make appropriate arrangements. I also explained I am only available via email due to my busy work schedule. The company offers an email to contact them but refuses to respond. 

I got no response, the vehicle remains here. In XXXX I removed authorization for them to charge my account ( XXXX XXXX ) and again notified them via written correspondence to contact me via email and make arrangements to come to get the vehicle to auction. I also filed a complaint with XXXX. The company did not respond to any of the above. Today I was charged a payment, which I did not authorize and I subsequently stopped payment. 

Second concern : The company has been charging me for insurance which I have had via XXXX on my XXXX since I got the vehicle. I have notified them multiple times I have insurance and they were listed as the lienholders. I requested a refund, and have gotten none. 

Third concern : Predatory interest rates. When I financed through them they offered to pay off my existing loan and offered me a lower payment. I owed less than XXXX when I refinanced. I refinanced in XX/XX/XXXX. I now owe over XXXX and have made on-time payments every month. This is not what I agreed too.

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (MI)

Chase XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have three cards with Chase and all were configured with Autopay. The ChasXXXX XXXX XXXX which I rarely use and has had a ZERO balance for most of the year somehow got removed from Autopay and I was charged in XXXX both late fee and interest for XXXX. I called in XXXX and they resolved the issue by crediting me the late fee and interest, acknowledge there was an issue with the Autopay being removed by their system ( or someone at Chase ). 
Once more XX/XX/XXXX I was charged another late fee, and interest on said fee on XX/XX/XXXX. I made zero purchases, the balance should have been zero. I called Chase and was told by a supervisor that this was because they credited me 2x the original {$40.00} late fee and one of these was removed. I was never informed of this, and still don't understand where any late fee on no payment due derived. I asked that they correct the issue again and just cancel 2 of my 3 cards as I don't use them and they obviously have issues. The supervisor on the phone didn't want to do this, she wanted to investigate and argue with me and tell me she couldn't do anything as I kept asking/canceling what I was asking. This was not true -- I reiterated I wanted the cards cancelled and I should be credited for my time for having to call and sit on hold over and over. She proceeded to read me a script and I tried to interrupt her but she told me she was going to keep reading. 
So in effect, Chase refuses to correct their mistake and cancel my cards and play games with semantics and reading scripts. How the Autopay keeps getting removed is a mystery, apparently, but its happened twice now to the same account that had Autopay set for years. 

I spoke to supervisors XXXX and XXXX. XXXX placed me on hold despite my request not to be placed on hold. XXXX insisted that I should have known that there was a charge as they sent me the bill so I should have known there was a late fee. However I never received a notice of a charge of any kind so I didn't bother to review that bill. She proceeded to be condescending and explain to me how late fees work. I called her names. I wish I had called her worse names.

I have contacted Transunion multiple times in order to correct erroneous information found on my report. The first time they replied with a stall tactic email stating they did not believe the mail was from me even though I accompanied the mail with copies of identification and proof of residence. After sending multiple letters requesting that my personal information be updated and any other information taken off of their platform I was simply ignored. I am requesting this due to privacy reasons and the fear that my information will be used fraudulently. I have also requested the specific submittal of information on how accounts were verified, as in with whom, when, where, how contact was made. These request were also ignored. I have requested that if verification of these items can not be produced, then to removed them from my credit file immediately. This has also been ignored. The last round of letters I have mailed to Transunion were mailed out on XX/XX/2023 and USPS certified mail tracking shows that they were delivered on XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. These letters were sent out USPS certified mail and I am able to provide tracking. The credit reporting agencies have an obligation to consumers to report any and all information correctly and truthfully. Transunion has not been doing that for me at all, and has simple just ignored my request for investigation into these accounts. I have attached all documents sent to Transunion.
