Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX and the credit bureaus regarding the inaccurate reporting of my credit information. Despite my persistent efforts to resolve this matter, I have encountered significant challenges that remain unaddressed. 

Details of the Complaint : - Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Status : Reported as open ( should be reported as closed ) - Transfer Date : Sold back to Southeast Mortgage in 2023 - Nature of the Issue : XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to report this account as open on my credit report, despite it being sold back. This misrepresentation is adversely affecting my credit score and financial standing.

Legal Basis : 1. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Under Section 609 of the FCRA, I have the right to dispute inaccurate information and request that the credit bureaus conduct a reasonable investigation. However, despite multiple disputes filed with the credit bureaus, my concerns have not been adequately addressed.

2. Accuracy Requirement : The FCRA mandates that consumer reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy of the information they report. XXXX XXXX XXXX is also obligated under the FCRA to provide accurate information to the credit bureaus. Their failure to correct this erroneous reporting is a violation of the law. 

3. Failure to Investigate : In accordance with Section 611 of the FCRA, upon receiving a dispute, the credit bureaus are required to investigate the matter. My repeated attempts to have this issue investigated have been met with inadequate responses, and the incorrect information remains on my credit report. 

The negligence displayed by both XXXX XXXX XXXX and the credit bureaus has caused me significant distress and has negatively impacted my creditworthiness. I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against both parties for their failure to comply with federal regulations regarding credit reporting. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Client Services, Inc. (GA)

I recently discovered my XXXX XXXX account was forwarded to a collection agency. I am disputing this matter, because I never received any calls, billing statement summaries, or XXXX XXXX Card. 
I am only willing to pay for the purchases made on the account. 

Furthermore, I am requesting that this negative balance in reporting be removed from the collection agency and all reporting agencies. I do not want this to reflect any derogatory information. I would like my credit reopened for future credit purposes and all fees removed. 

Again, please note that I never received any calls, billing statement summaries, or XXXX XXXX Card. I am a college student trying to establish credit and I do not want this to affect my present or future credit history. 

When contacting the financial institution I requested to speak with a manager three times. It was clear that he did not want me to speak to a manager. After insisting he later transferred me to a manager in recovery and he was very unhelpful.

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: SLM CORPORATION (CA)

Basically I'm the co-signer on my daughter 's student loan with Sallie Mae, a private lender. We had no idea the mess we were getting ourselves into when we took out student loans approximately 7 years ago. This company is a predatory lender and something needs to be done to stop them from continuing to do business. 

My daughter originally borrowed {$62000.00} for college. We found out much later that the loan has a variable interest rate. Never new that was possible except for mortgages. Anyway she's paid on the loan for approximately four years and did utilize some of the forbearance that were available. 

Currently, her loan balance is {$80000.00} and the current interest being charged is XXXX - 15 %. We contacted Sallie May XX/XX/2022 ( on or about ) to ask about payment reduction. We underwent a financial review and the only option given to us was to pay interest only for 6 mos. So instead of a {$1200.00} a month payment, we could pay {$950.00} the interest. Since we didn't see this as helping the situation, we declined. 

So currently, her payment coming up for XX/XX/XXXX is {$1300.00}. I've personally made the payments to bring her account current for XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and will make the XXXX payment but my savings is nearly depleted and these payments are not sustainable. We have both depleted our savings and will have no alternative but to default. I'm making this complaint to see if there is any recourse for us. We would like to keep the loan in good standing but would need a reasonable loan payment amount. This company is ruthless, unscrupulous and they market themselves as helping people!! They need to be stopped!!! If you have any information about a class action law suit, please send it to me. Any other guidance you can provide will be appreciated!! Please reply as soon as possible. Thank you!

In XXXX of XXXX I switched my phone service with permission from XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX made it clear that I had to pay my outstanding bill from XXXX to obtain a code that would enable me to transport my service from XXXX to XXXX. On the XXXX of XX/XX/XXXX, I paid with my debit card {$240.00}, which I was told was my final bill, and on that same day, my cellphone was switched from XXXX to XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a bill for {$280.00} from XXXX, claiming that I owed the unpaid balance. I tried to explain to them, but they would not give me a listening ear. They then processed and sent my name and this amount to a collection agency XXXX XXXX, in Pennsylvania. I would receive calls from all odd hours and every day of the week. They would send me an email, notices in my mailbox, etc. I tried to explain that I did not owe this money, and there seemed to be an error. They reported me to the credit bureaus, which caused my credit scores to drop. Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX, I decided to purchase a home and was advised to go ahead and pay off this debt of {$280.00}. On the XXXX of XXXX, I contacted XXXX XXXX to clear this bill ; my account was debited for {$340.00} that day. Their agent told me within XXXX to XXXX business days, I would receive a notice of payment in full either via fax or mail. I asked for a fax copy to be sent because the underwriters need it urgently. They promised I would receive the fax that same day within 30mins to an hour. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I am still waiting to receive a mail or the faxed copy. I have called this agency daily, and they keep giving me the runaround. I asked to speak with a managXXXX, but none has taken my call. I am left stranded and I need help.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (RI)

There are a number of troubling issues in dealing with TransUnion : The phone number they provide is outsourced to XXXX. Their call center is XXXX ; blames you for not being able to access their website after you've created an account. 

The XXXX call center claims they will 'look into your problem ' and never get back to you. You are put on hold after answer multiple questions and then are disconnected. The call center in XXXX claimed I would receive a paper copy of my TransUnion credit report. Even if I receive this report, I will now have to do any disputes by paper and snail mail, which will take longer. 

I can not access the website and therefore I can not put in any disputes. The company has no explanation why I can not access my account on their website. 

https : //service.transunion.com/dss/login.page This company is worth {>= $1,000,000} ( according to XXXX XXXX XXXX but they can't fund a decent call center or provide better IT support or customer service?
