Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I am writing to formally demand the immediate removal of fraudulent accounts, names, addresses, and inquiries from my credit report as a result of identity theft caused by the XXXX Data Breach. Despite my efforts to notify you and submit an FTC Identity Theft Report, these inaccuracies remain on my credit file, which is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

FCRA Violations : FCRA Section 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) : You are required by law to block fraudulent information once notified of identity theft. I have already provided all necessary documentation, including an FTC Identity Theft Report. Your failure to remove these fraudulent accounts and inquiries violates this section. 

FCRA Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) : I have the legal right to request verification of any account on my credit report. You have failed to provide any documentation or proof that I opened these accounts, and they must be removed immediately.

FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : You are required to conduct a proper investigation within 30 days of my dispute. Your failure to investigate and correct these errors within the required time frame is in violation of this section.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AZ)

I used retirement money to pay off XXXX credit cards and XXXX vehicle finance. After a month, the credit bureaus still indicate I have a full unpaid balance. After XXXX weeks the other XXXX accounts are still not accounted for. I understand that they update with new reporting but this is still taking an inordinate amount of time when you also consider that there is an immediate penalty just for checking into getting a loan. So for credit checking and penalizing its immediate, but for getting credit where its due for doing something which should make your credit better it takes ( almost literally ) forever. This feels like its rigged in a way to generate higher interest charges for those with lower credit scores. Something akin to youre guilty until proven innocent. When accounts are in good standing, managed well and eventually paid off, the credit bureaus should be advised just as immediate as the penalties were given just for checking credit. Its wrong that penalties are immediate but not rewards for doing whats responsible.

XXXX needlessly reinvestigated the file ( multiple times ) after being informed of the exact Section of law and blindly accepts XXXX XXXX 's abuse of the FCRA Law.

XX/XX/year> Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian 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 XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/year> Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Experian disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXXXXXX. 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 : Payment made within the XXXX grace period : My payment for XX/XX/year> was made on time, which falls within Capital Ones XXXX grace period. Therefore, the account should not have been reported as XXXX XXXX XXXX 
Error caused by automatic payment system : I had set up an automatic payment for XX/XX/year> through XXXX XXXX 's payment system. However, due to a system error, the payment was delayed and processed late. This was an error beyond my control, and I acted promptly to resolve the issue when notified. 
Evidence provided : I have attached my bank statements and the payment confirmation showing that the payment was made on time, confirming that I acted within the allowed time frame. Additionally, documentation from XXXX XXXX acknowledging the system error has been included. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Experian 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 XXXX

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (MS)

I 've been going round and round with Navient. I finally was gainfully employed last year but Navient kept trying to say that my payments were over 1000/month. So I filled out the paperwork for income-driven repayment and was told by the Navient agent that my payments should be around 350-360/month, according to my paycheck. What they ended up being ( supposedly ) was more around 460/month. But what has been happening is, month after month, I log in to find my payment due at {$960.00}. I was told this was due to old late fees. So I paid them my entire bonus from work a couple of months ago to clear out the fees. That money was really needed for other things but I thought I was doing the right thing by trying to get a handle on these loans. Earlier this month, I logged in to find that the payment due was over {$600.00} with a due date of XX/XX/XXXX. I could n't pay it all at one time so I decided to make a half payment from my first check of the month -- onXX/XX/XXXX and pay the remainder of the payment due today with my second check. I logged in to find that I owed a payment of {$960.00} with several of the loans now saying that they were past due. I tried to speak to a rep but he only said that the payment due was $ 400+ and the other $ 400+ was due to late fees. I asked how there were late fees when the payment was n't due until XX/XX/XXXX He said that these were late fees from last year and earlier -- so, wait, they 're the late fees that I 've supposedly already paid??? The rep kept talking me in circles -- kept saying " you can find it on the account history page ''. I pull up the account history page and all it shows is the series of payments I 've made, each one larger than the last -- it seems in a hopeless attempt to get some kind of structure and sense to this nonsense. Basically, I 'm XXXX because of Navient. I 'm throwing money at them for loans that started off as being {$5500.00} each and now they 're saying I owe $ XXXX- $ XXXX each. I ca n't afford a home of my own, nor a car payment, and I 've had to put off medical treatment, because I 'm struggling to get a foothold with these vampires.
