Formal Complaint for Failure to Conduct a Proper Investigation and Request for Re-Investigation Dear CFPB Representative, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the failure of the credit bureaus to conduct a proper investigation of the disputed accounts on my credit report. This complaint pertains to the lack of adherence to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by the credit bureaus in question. 

On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a dispute regarding the following accounts : I completely disagree with the response from your investigation. The following incorrect items, which I have listed below, still remain on my credit report even after your investigation. I request that you re-investigate these items immediately and provide a valid reason for them. These inaccuracies are causing significant harm to my credit rating. 

1. The following information is outdated. I would like it removed from my credit history report XXXX Account Number : XXXX Please supply information on how you have verified this item. 
XXXX. Validate Account XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Please investigate and delete from my credit report. 
XXXX. Other information I would like changed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Please remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. 
XXXX. This is the wrong creditor for this item XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Please investigate and delete from my credit report. 
XXXX. This is a duplicate account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Please remove it from my credit report. 

The credit bureaus responded with a stall letter and simply verified the accounts without conducting a thorough investigation as required under the FCRA. I am formally requesting the method of verification and specific details on how the verification was conducted, including the names and contact information of individuals involved in the process. 

The response from the credit bureaus constitutes a violation of their obligation under the FCRA to conduct a proper investigation. As such, I am requesting a re-investigation of the disputed accounts. The FCRA mandates that credit bureaus investigate disputed information and provide a detailed response regarding their findings. Failure to do so is a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA. 

If the credit bureaus ignore this request or fail to conduct a proper re-investigation, they will be in further violation of the FCRA, and I will seek appropriate remedies and compensation for these violations. 

I expect prompt and thorough action on this matter. Please ensure that the credit bureaus fulfill their legal obligations and provide the necessary documentation and details regarding the investigation of my disputes. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this issue.

My account with ( XXXXXXXX XXXX  ) 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 in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) to be removed.

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. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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 went to a for profit school, the art XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, for college and ended up with an unreasonable amount of student loan debt. I believed was was a victim of malpractice and fraud by school and the XXXX XXXX loans I was tricked into getting. Since then the school lost its accreditation and all branches are permanently closed and class action lawsuits have been peformed on both companies. I filed a borrower 's defense program application for my loans and I won. 100 % of my federal loans were forgiven for my school through the class action lawsuit of sweet vs XXXX. Yet, I still have over double the amount my federal loans were in private loans looming over my head. I know navient has the " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  '', but I was denied the form because I was forced to refinance my loan to be able to even try to make the payments literally XXXX  months after i graduated. It should not matter if I refinanced my loans, there was still misconduct at the school I went to. I only did the best I could to not default on my loans for the past XXXX yrs. If something is not done soon defaulting will be my only option. I have no deferments left. I was told I'm not eligible for interest payments and i already have a XXXX yr plan instead of XXXX yrs. If I already proved once I was a victim of fraud why am I still responsible for this debt just because they tricked me into private loans and I am unable to remove it. It's not right.

Company: Credova Holdings Inc (OR)

On the Credova website I paid off loan early. It SHOWS on the website XXXX of XXXX paid. Very clearly a complete processed pay off. 

They use XXXX XXXX as the bank that holds the loan. Turns out Credova website doesn't show that there was still interest due, despite it showing nowhere on the Credova site. Again, their site shows and makes it look like everything is paid off. When in fact there was interest still on the actual bank with XXXX XXXX, accruing more interest. Very predatory, especially with Credova not actually showing what I owe in a clear manner. Period.
