I recently received a copy of my credit report, and I notice there is an unauthorized credit inquiry made by the company listed above. To my knowledge, I have not signed any documents authorizing the company in question to view my credit report. The listed inquiry was without authorization, and for no legitimate business purposes. As such, it is a very serious error in reporting. I never authorized such action, and this constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act {$600.00} as well as a violation of my rights to privacy. I am requesting your credit bureau to initiate an investigation and to determine responsible parties in this unauthorized credit inquiry. As part of your investigation, please send the names, business addresses, and phone numbers of those who made unauthorized credit inquiries so I may contact them directly. In addition, I respectfully request a copy of any documents authorizing credit inquiry, and signed on my behalf, so that I may verify its validity. 
If you find that I was not the one who authorized this inquiry, I ask that it be removed immediately from my credit file. Please be so kind as to forward me documentation that you have had the unauthorized inquiry removed. If you find that I am in error, then please send me proof of this. 
Finally, I am requesting an updated copy of my credit report, which should be sent to the address listed above.

There are several things on my consumer report that were the result of identity theft. I sent the consumer reporting agency Equifax an identity theft affidavit. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681c2, these accounts and inquiries should have been blocked from my consumer report. However, they were not. Equifax sent a letter stating this block was an error. It was not. Equifax has violated my consumer rights. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681i Equifax is supposed to delete the disputed items during a full and complete investigation. Equifax violated this federal law. Equifax is still furnishing information without my consent. That is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b.

Issue: Incorrect exchange rate — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NC)

On XX/XX/2015 I made a withdrawal from a XXXX XXXX  ATM in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I withdrew XXXX VND using my Chase Bank debit card which at the time was equivalent to {$95.00} USD. After checking the withdrawal amount out of my Chase checking account I saw that Chase had debited my account well over {$200.00} USD. I immediately contacted the XXXX XXXX  and they were very helpful and sent me a receipt of the ATM transaction. I filed an investigation with Chase Bank and was told the only option that I had was to cancel my debit card which was impossible for me to do at the time. They told me that I would not be receiving a refund for the correct amount. I advised them that I had a receipt of the transaction and I believe I was told they didn't even want to see it. I believe that Chase bank made a gross error in the exchange rate as the amount I was debited compared to the amount received from the ATM. In fact, the amount debited was not even possible to be requested by the ATM as it would have been over the limit for that ATM withdrawal.

I have made numerous attempts to resolve and or dispute these issues directly with the credit bureaus and the lenders reporting inaccurate and fraudulent accounts and each and every time I receive generic/automated responses stating the information and or accounts has been verified when asked to provide proof of this verification the lenders and respective credit bureaus are unable to provide me with any documentation as it relates to verification. I was the victim of identity theft, I have informed them of this and filed numerous FTC identity theft reports and provided copies to the bureaus and offered to provide copies to the lenders, the lenders refuse to accept them, and the credit bureaus tell me this is not sufficient which is why I have filed multiple as well as consistently seeing new items I do not recognize either in the form of inquiries or collection accounts. I have attempted to resolve this with the credit bureaus as well as directly with the creditors. This is my second time filing a complaint with the CFPB in regard to these issues. All of the entities mentioned have displayed willful and negligent noncompliance in removing these items

XXXX continues to report misinformation from XXXXCBNA, XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, SD XXXX. I have disputed their information for over two years with XXXX and XXXXCBNA continues to give the credit reporting agency false information. According to XXXX 's report a payment was made to XXXX/CBNA   on XX/XX/XXXX. Any activity by me with this creditor ceased long before that date. I am asking that XXXX/CBNA provide proof of any such activity actual hard copy proof, including a ledger accounting of all payments and dates these alleged transactions occurred. XXXX/CBNA was asked and I am also requesting that they provide confirmation that there was NOT any activity created by my ex-wife, XXXX XXXX, instead of me. I make this statement because my ex-wife had a habit of mishandling my affairs. This may not be the case but XXXXCBNA must prove that I conducted the alleged transactions and not her, because I did not. Without this proof, XXXXCBNA should advise XXXX to immediately remove any information on my credit report. 

This account is NOT listed on either XXXX or XXXX. 

XXXX  was notified, and XXXXCBNA has been notified as well that their false reporting has caused me financial harm and created a negative impact on my personal history. If this false reporting is not corrected not later than XX/XX/XXXX I will pursue all legal means against XXXX and XXXXCBNA to  seek compensation for the harm suffered.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: AES/PHEAA (NY)

Beginning in XX/XX/XXXX, I transitioned my federal loans from XXXX to XXXX XXXX to join the public service loan forgiveness program. The transition was completed on XX/XX/XXXX when I received a welcome letter from XXXX XXXX ( attached as XXXX 1 ) At that time I had been enrolled in the REPAYE income-driven repayment plan. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I subsequently received communication from XXXX that my current income-driven repayment plan was ending on XX/XX/XXXX and that unless an application to renew the plan was received within 10 days of XX/XX/XXXX, that my payments would increase to {$0.00} beginning on XX/XX/XXXX ( this letter is also attached as XXXX 2 ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received another letter stating that my IDR application must be received by by XX/XX/XXXX. " If we do not receive your application within 10 days of this date, your monthly payment is estimated to be {$3000.00}, first due on XX/XX/XXXX. '' ( attached, XXXX 3 ). 

My IDR request application was submitted on XX/XX/XXXX and approved on XX/XX/XXXX by XXXX, and I received email correspondence from XXXX confirming both events. ( attached XXXX 4 and 5 ). 

I again received correspondence stating that my new payment plan would be XXXX monthly beginning on XX/XX/XXXX. ( attached as XXXX 6 ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received, WITHOUT ANY written notification or warning given to me by XXXX or XXXX beforehand, a billing statement from XXXX for {$3000.00} ( attached as XXXX bill ).  This is despite submitting my income-driven repayment plan application while currently being under an active IDR plan ( REPAYE ). 

At this point I attempted multiple phone calls with XXXX customer service and spent upwards of 3 hours between holds, talking to multiple people, before being told that there was nothing that could be done because there had been a lapse in my repayment plan that I was NEVER notified of. The result being that this {$3000.00} payment would now be put into forbearance ( attached, XXXX forbearance ). 

My issue is that I was charged {$3000.00} months before I was told that I would be charged this amount, with my IDR application submitted, received, and approved well within the time window established to me by XXXX in order to avoid such a charge. The result is a massive payment of my loans which is now in forbearance.
