Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ), Privacy Act of 1974, and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ). I have discovered an inaccurate, unverifiable, and unauthorized inquiry on my credit report, which is in direct violation of these federal protections. 
Specifically, this unauthorized inquiry violates the following statutes : 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports ) 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( Requirements Relating to Information Contained in Consumer Reports ) 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( Blocking of Information Resulting from Identity Theft ) The presence of this inquiry on my credit report is not only unauthorized but also unverifiable, as it lacks any legitimate basis for its appearance. This inaccurate information severely impacts my creditworthiness and reputation as a federally protected consumer. 
Efforts to Resolve I have reached out to all three major credit bureausEquifax, XXXX, and XXXX regarding this matter. Despite my efforts, which include providing detailed information and requesting the removal of this unauthorized inquiry, my concerns have been ignored. The lack of response from these credit bureaus is unacceptable and exacerbates the harm caused by this inaccurate reporting. 

Impact on Creditworthiness As a result of this violation, my creditworthiness has been unfairly and negatively impacted. The presence of unauthorized inquiries can lower my credit score, thereby affecting my ability to obtain credit on favorable terms. This is a direct infringement on my rights under federal law, and it must be rectified immediately. 

Request f

or Action I am requesting that the CFPB take immediate action to investigate this matter. The unauthorized and unverifiable inquiry must be removed from my credit report, and the responsible parties must be held accountable for this violation of my consumer rights. Additionally, I reques
t that the CFPB ensures that the credit bureaus respond to my inquiries and correct my credit report to accurately reflect my credit history without the unauthorized inquiry. 
As a consumer, I rely on the protections afforded to me by federal law to ensure that my credit information is accurate and secure. The violations in this case are serious and have caused undue harm to my financial standing. I trust that the CFPB will take the necessary steps to address this issue and uphold my rights. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

" I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft.

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (KS)

I took advantage of this agencies advise, and sent the attached letter to Navient, snail mail, this morning, along with copies of my paystubs etc. At the age of XXXX, I was pretty lost with no goals or direction as to what I would do with my life. Then someone suggested trade school. I have always been very creative/artistic and it sounded like quite the solution to my dilemma. I attended the " Missouri XXXX XXXX XXXX '' for their 6 month XXXX program. Which was paid for with a private student loan, recommended by the school, and co-signed by my parents who were anxious for me to find my way in life. We were all ( not the school ) extremely nave as to the predatory nature of these loans, and applied and signed off in good faith, thinking this was a legitimate student loan, with all of the benefits etc. Obviously, that is not the case, and after paying on this thing for 8 years, have not made a dent in the principal, and although circumstances change through the years, there is absolutely no flexibility with these institutions, no understanding, and great difficulty in even being allowed to speak to anyone with real information, or the power to assist in any way. I realize that unfortunately, this is a legal enterprise, but, I wanted to join the many voices begging for assistance, and crying out for help to get out from under this place.

I received a letter to my physical address I provided to Bank of America. This letter was mailed to my current physical address ( XXXX, WA ) and asking for my country of residence. I provided this on account opening ( obvious since I received my letter ) and am concerned that the information was misplaced, or the web application the bank uses is not committing the information correctly during the automated online account opening process ( or letting anyone, including XXXX 's open accounts ). I wish that the bank could confirm that my account information is secured and that they overlooked my account information prior to mailing this letter.

I was given no choice but to provide this letter back or my checking account would be closed.

Issue: Closing/Cancelling account — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ()

I have been a cardholder with FIA Card Services ( and its predecessor organisations ) since XXXX. I have been a loyal and good customer for the thirteen years in question. I have used the card service regularly and have always paid my outstanding amounts owing on time and in full. I have never complained nor caused any problems for the company. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, a transaction that I had attempted was declined. As such action had happened from time to time before then, I called customer services to query what was going on and to get my account cleared to be able to use the card. I had assumed that a call would sort out the problem quickly and easily as had occurred on previous occasions. On XX/XX/XXXX I was advised that FIA Card Services decided unilaterally and without any advance notice to me to close my account with no recourse to any review. The customer service representative simply told me the account was closed, she did not have any explanation for this, she provided a contact number for the account closure department and, upon calling the number, a recorded message stated the account was closed " for business reasons '' and that the decision was final. My wife ( also a card holder ) did talk to an agent on XXXX in the account closure department ( as I was travelling ) who advised that we would receive a letter to advise of this decision and the agent restated that the decision was final.

I am writing to request your assistance regarding an account from XXXX that appears on my credit report. The account, opened in XX/XX/year>, shows a balance history that I do not recognize.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (GA)

A " Deed in Lieu of '' package was sent to me after a 2nd failed attempt to get buyers for the Short Sale of a rental property. My realtor had requested this additional time for the Short Sale since we had a buyer within {$5000.00} of Bank of America 's asking price. Once I read the entire " Deed in Lieu of '' package and realized my obligation would be to leave the property in the condition requested and pay taxes on the amount Bank of America stated in the documents would be reported to IRS, {$3800.00}, I agreed to move forward with this option. Before signing the documents, I called Bank of America, Deed in Lieu of department to verify the Tax amount to be reported to IRS and was told it was accurate. 

The actual XXXX I received last month indicates the amount of debt discharged is {$63000.00}. I called Bank of America to discuss the discrepancy and was told the Deed in Lieu of Dept. made a mistake with the Tax amount. I was told to disregard it and the XXXX was accurate. I argued if I had known this my realtor would have been more aggressive in getting a buyer since we were so close to the Short Sale asking price. I was told it did n't matter. I want to know if I have any recourse with Bank of America and can they be made to lower the amount on the XXXX? 

Let me know if you require anything else. Thanks for your assistance.

I had a checking account with Bank of the West prior to XX/XX/2013.

The account went to collections with The XXXX XXXX XXXX with a balance of XXXX $ owed in XX/XX/2013. I disputed the account and XXXX reported the account as closed to XXXX for meeting FCRA requirements for a dispute, but still lists the account open and in collections with XXXX. I reached out to XXXX and inquired when they would report to XXXX that the account was closed pursuant to my dispute. The agent advised me that she does not know why the account was closed with XXXX and repeatedly interrupted me to tell me I needed to pay the account. I advised her the account was disputed and closed and I would not make a payment until she could explain why it was closed with one bureau but not the other. The agent advised me that she did not know and it was a mistake and that all she knew was that I had to pay the account. I again asked why the account was closed with one bureau but not the other and she transferred me to a voicemail for someone else. I left my contact information and even called an hour later and was again dumped in a voicemail. I have never received a returned call from this company to explain their discrepancy in reporting to the credit bureaus. They refuse to explain why I need to pay this account that is closed, they refuse to accurately report to the bureaus, and they continue to aggressively attempt to collect this debt.

I called Caliber home loans gave them my social, the loan no. provided by quality loan and they kept hanging up on me as well. When I call caliber home loans and they ask me to enter the loan number which I did but the phone kept hanging up on me after I put in the loan number. I also went online and printed a loan modification packet, I filled it out and put together a full packet by the RMA instructions and I faxed in to Caliber home loans. The next day I called them asking them if they received my fax they said they did not and I told them I have confirmation but they hung up.
