Subject : Dispute of inaccurate information on my credit report Account XXXX Credit Bureau : TRANSUNION Account Type XXXX Credit Card Dear Sir/Madam , In accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA, 15 U.S.C. 1601 ), I am formally disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information related to my account with XXXX XXXX, which has been marked as a " charge-off. '' Upon reviewing my credit report, I have found the following discrepancies between the credit bureaus TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX : TransUnion : Highest reported balance : {$350.00} Current balance owed : {$260.00} Payment status : Closed, reported as " Collection/Chargeoff. '' Credit limit : {$250.00}. 
Reason for closure : " Account closed by consumer. '' XXXX : Highest reported balance : {$0.00} Current balance owed : {$260.00} Payment status : Closed, reported as " Collection/Chargeoff. '' Credit limit : {$250.00}. 
Reason for closure : " Credit line closed at consumer request. '' XXXX : Highest reported balance : {$260.00} Current balance owed : {$260.00} Payment status : Closed, reported as " Collection/Chargeoff. '' Credit limit : {$0.00}. 
Reason for closure : " Unpaid balance reported as a loss by the creditor. '' These discrepancies show significant inconsistencies, particularly regarding the highest balance, credit limit, and reasons for closing the account. TransUnion and XXXX report a credit limit of {$250.00}, while XXXX reports no credit limit at all. Additionally, the reasons for closing the account vary : TransUnion and XXXX indicate that the account was closed at the consumer 's request, while XXXX reports it as a loss for the creditor. These differences violate the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy in the information they report.

Moreover, under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA, 15 U.S.C. 1601 ), I am entitled to clear and accurate information about my credit obligations and payment history. The discrepancies found negatively affect the accuracy of my credit history and do not adequately reflect my financial situation. 

I request that, in compliance with the FCRA and TILA, you investigate this dispute and remove the inaccurate information, including the charge-off, from my credit report. The discrepancies between the credit bureaus show that the reported information is not accurate. Please send me the results of your investigation and a corrected report as soon as possible. 

I have attached copies of my credit reports showing the mentioned discrepancies for your reference. 

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

As of this date, when I log into XXXX, XXXX, and Experian they list a total of 4 to 5 Derogatory Federal Student loan accounts, each listing a repeated late payment and derogatory in bright yellow. It's also noted on the credit reports that my student loan information negatively effects my credit.

In addition the credit buraus list multiple federal student loans when I only had one account. I have contacted XXXX, XXXX, and Experian in writing about this in fair and negative information

My son and I applied for a refinance loan with MEFA. There was no assistance to understand their review. We submitted all of the documents required over a period of 60DAYS! We would receive a notice to submit another document, and we would submit it twice or three times after being asked to submit the same documents. No one could explain why we kept getting asked to resubmit what we had already submitted. We called the answering clerks at MEFA ( who never have any authority ) who could only say that the documents were submitted but waiting on the " review ''. No one with management authority would come to the phone. We spent considerable time getting things to MEFA as requested and there was no supervisor to provide us any insight to why MEFA was having difficulty with the documents. 
Both my son and my credit scores are above 700 and we both make very comfortable wages. 
It is disgraceful the amount of time we spent on this 60 DAYS! and finally called to ask what was going on with the loan. Lady said it was rejected. No one even called or emailed any decision or explanation. AVOID THIS REFINANCE COMPANY OR YOU WILL WAIST CONSIDERABLE PERSONAL TIME!

On XX/XX/XXXX, Cash transfers from an unknown CashApp account were attempted using my XXXX. I am notified of every transaction immediately, so I was able to call XXXX within 5 minutes, from XXXX where I was when this happened, to block the transactions. One was in the amount of {$300.00} and the other for {$600.00}. 

I checked my personal account and did not see these transactions, but somehow the XXXX linked to my account was used by another CashApp account holder. When I called, CashApp walked me through securing my account but was not able to confirm being able to remove my card from other accounts and closing those accounts.

I greatly value the relationship I have with the following creditors and have consistently made on-time payments forsuch a long time.This isolated incident does not reflect my overall commitment to honoring my financial obligations, and I have since taken steps to ensure this will not happen again. 

Given my otherwise positive payment history, I kindly request that you consider removing this late payment from my credit report as a goodwill gesture. I believe this adjustment would better reflect my responsible credit behavior and would help improve my credit standing.

I've been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report since XX/XX/2020. I keep sending multiple sets of letters to the bureaus so the excuse of " we didn't get it '' doesn't happen. Furthermore, each letter is certified mail with tracking and each letter shows signed and delivered and yet the bureaus are still not taking any actions. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The accounts always show up with different name variations and different account number variations and yet the bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the account claim to be mine. Not only have I not received any mail showing the verifiable proofs needed to justify the accounts to be on my report, I haven't even received any letters at all stating the investigations have begun. Per the FCRA and federal law, the process is supposed to be 30 days. 60 days later, I'm still here shelling out money for certified mail with no end in sight and no results to show. This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensations and damages incurred. Finally, it seems that when these complaints are submitted, the bureaus are using the excuse that they " can't confirm my identity '' to get away with taking no actions on my credit report. Please investigate this as well.
