Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA (OH)

My account has been placed into multiple different payment plans. I have been enrolled in the PSLF plan for many years and when my accounts was switched from XXXX XXXX XXXX to Mohela ( my current servicer ) I have had nothing but issue after issue since XX/XX/XXXX. Initially I called them because they automatically placed my plan into the extended graduated plan for which that particular payment plan does not qualify for PSLF. When I called then, they stated that because I had made so many payments when I was with XXXX XXXX XXXX I was essentially grandfathered into the extended graduated plan. Fast forward one month later, XX/XX/XXXX I saw that my payment increased significantly, so therefore I called again to try to figure out why my payment increased. Long story short they put me into the SAVE payment plan. They placed me into forbearance at that time so that I can be put back into the grandfathered plan of extended graduated plan and I was assured that it would be counted towards PSLF. 

I called they yet again in XX/XX/XXXX because there was another issue with my student loans and I was on hold for close to an hour and 45 minutes before I was able to speak to a real person in regards to my account. 

In XX/XX/XXXX I started school at XXXX XXXX  for my XXXX XXXX XXXX and I had to take out student loans, I was contacted from Mohela toward the end of XXXX via email stating that my student loan payments would resume in XX/XX/XXXX because I am enrolled at least half time. 

In XXXX, I log in to my account to see that I was delinquent because my payment on my student loan account wasn't made on XX/XX/XXXX so I hurried up and made a payment because I don't do " delinquent '' on anything related to my credit. Meanwhile, I was told that my loans was put into deferment in XXXX and didn't have to make payments while enrolled in school so I call Mohela yet again for another issue that they caused.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA (MA)

I have been enrolled in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program since XXXX. I have recertified my loans as required, and have never missed a payment. I am approximately 7 years into the program. Each time my loan splits into separate loans because of the maximum balance allowed, the payments are not updated. I recertified in XX/XX/XXXX, and am now showing only 10 qualifying payments. I have reached out numerous times and all but 10 of my payments since XXXX are under manual review. They have been under manual review for about 6 months. Each phone conversation I have has resulted in no advancement in the updating of my PSLF status. I am given vague answers with reasonable time frames to expect resolution, however my payments continue to be uncounted and my account remains outdated. I need this updated so I can plan when my loans are expected to be forgiven, and be sure I am being credited accurately.

Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Credit Reporting FCRA Violation Dear Credit Reporting Agent I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of an account that you hold on my credit file, which I believe is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) and the Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ). 

The account in question is associated with Pro Collect, opened on XX/XX/year>, for the amount of {$170.00}. Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed that the account does not accurately reflect the payment status. Specifically, it fails to indicate that the account was " paid less, '' which misrepresents my payment history and adversely affects my credit score. 

According to the FCRA, it is imperative that all information reported to credit reporting agencies is accurate and complete. The failure to report the correct payment status constitutes a violation of federal law. Additionally, the UCC mandates that all parties involved in a credit transaction must report accurate information regarding the status of accounts. 

Given these violations, I hereby demand that you rectify this reporting error immediately by updating the account information to reflect the accurate payment status of " paid less. '' Furthermore, I request that you remove this account from my credit files with all credit reporting agencies if you are unable to provide accurate reporting. 

Please provide me with written confirmation that you have received this dispute and the actions taken to resolve it. I expect a response within 30 days, as stipulated by the FCRA. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I sent a letter regarding the errors and unfamiliar entries on my credit report, but sadly, I haven't heard back in over 30 days. It seems like my concerns are being overlooked, and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these issues aren't investigated within 30 days, they should be removed from my credit report without delay. I might need to pursue legal action because of the stress this situation has put me under.

As a protected consumer under federal law, specifically the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am disputing several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. These inquiries appear on my report without my knowledge or consent, raising concerns about potential identity theft or a violation of my rights under the FCRA. According to FCRA Permissible Purposes ( Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ) it requires credit reporting agencies to have a " permissible purpose '' to provide your report. Unauthorized inquiries wouldn't fall under any permissible purpose. Remove these unauthorized inquiries immediately from my credit file.

Subject : Dispute of XXXX XXXX Credit Card Account Reporting Dear Credit Reporting Agency I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of my XXXX XXXXXXXX Credit Card account XXXX which was opened on XX/XX/2022, with a current balance of {$1200.00}. This account has been reported in violation of the Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ) and several provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681, 15 USC 1604 ( a ), and 15 USC 1666 ( b ).

According to 15 USC 1681, I have a right to privacy regarding my financial information. I did not provide permission to XXXX XXXX to furnish my account information to credit reporting agencies, which is mandated under 15 USC 1604 ( a ). Additionally, under 15 USC 1666 ( b ), a creditor can not treat a late payment on an open-ended account as late for any purposes, and I believe this has been incorrectly applied in my case. 

As such, I am requesting that you conduct an investigation into this matter and remove the XXXX XXXX Credit Card account from my credit report. I have not authorized the reporting of this account, and it is essential that my rights under the UCC and FCRA are respected. 

Please provide a thorough investigation and written confirmation of the results. If the account is found to be inaccurately reported or unverified, I expect it to be removed from all credit reporting agencies promptly. 

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

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

XX/XX/year> Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate late payments reported on my credit file maintained by TransUnion for my account with XXXX. These late payments are erroneous and do not accurately reflect my payment history. 

Nature of the Complaint : Inaccurate Reporting : The late payments listed on my credit report are inaccurate. I have consistently made my payments on time, as I have been enrolled in autopay for all my accounts, including this account.

Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The inaccurate reporting of these late payments violates my rights under the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ), as they misrepresent my creditworthiness.

Potential Violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The reporting of false late payments may also constitute a violation of the FDCPA, which protects consumers from misrepresentation regarding their accounts. 
Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : I assert that the reporting practices violate the TILA, which mandates accurate reporting of credit information.

Additionally, under the FCRA, sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files.

Articles 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ) outline the civil liability for willful and negligent noncompliance, respectively, which provides for damages, including actual damages, attorneys fees, and possible punitive damages for failure to comply with the Acts requirements. 

Summary of the XXXX account errors Incorrect Late Payments : All bureaus report a 30-day late payment, despite on-time autopay setup.

Inconsistent Account Status : Account is marked " Paid '' but shows late payments, which is contradictory.

Varying Reporting Dates : Each bureau lists a different " Last Reported '' date. 
Credit Limit Discrepancy : TransUnion and XXXX report a {$250.00} limit, while XXXX inaccurately shows {$0.00}. 
These errors violate FCRA standards, and corrections are needed for accurate reporting. 
Requested Resolution : I request that TransUnion conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and remove the inaccurate late payments from my credit report. I ask that all such entries be updated to reflect my true payment history of 100 % on-time payments. 
I expect to receive written documentation confirming the removal of these entries within 30 days of this complaint submission. Failure to resolve this issue may lead to further action to protect my rights as a consumer. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

I am disputing the account ( XXXX ) listed below and have attached the original dispute letter sent over XXXX  days ago. Despite my dispute, your agency claimed to verify this debt. However, it is clear no proper investigation occurred, as your automated systems responded within seconds. 

Under the FCRA, you are required to verify the accuracy and validity of the debt within XXXX  days. I contacted the creditor directly, and they failed to provide the original contract or validation of my obligation. I have certified mail receipts proving my efforts, yet no evidence has been provided to confirm this is my debt. 

If the account ( XXXX ) can not be verified, you are legally obligated to remove it. Continued reporting of inaccurate information violates the FCRA, and I am prepared to pursue legal action for actual damages and defamation. 

Disputed Item ( XXXX ) : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I demand the immediate deletion of this account from my credit file to avoid XXXX.
