Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (AZ)

I was also wondering if you were familiar with something called The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) I have a right to the fair and accurate reporting of your credit information, also entitled to certain privacy rights concerning my credit information and protection from the misuse your credit data. 
of I am writing to dispute the accuracy of the information that TransUnion LLC has reported on my credit report. 
I have repeatedly requested that a 605 block be placed on my credit report in accordance with Section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) due to identity theft, but TransUnion has failed to comply with my request, This is a violation of FCRA procedures, As a victim of identity theft, I have sent my documents multiple times to TransUnion to fix my credit report, but to no avail. Furthermore, I believe that TransUnion has violated the FCRA by failing to properly investigate and correct errors on my credit report, which was also found in the case of Sergio Ramirez v. TransUnion, LLC ( 2019 ).

Due to TransUnion 's failure to comply with the FCRA, I have been denied credit and even employment, which is an adverse action under 15 US Code 1681a section 603 ( k ) ( b ) ( i ). As required by Section 605b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA, TransUnion is required to remove any accounts that were opened without my knowledge, consent, or authority, and under Section 1681c-2 ( a ), TransUnion must block any information in the file that resulted from identity theft. I have provided documents that prove the identity theft and have identified the information that needs to be blocked.

Therefore, I respectfully request that TransUnion properly investigate and correct the errors on my credit report, block the information related to identity theft, and provide me with a free copy of my credit report, as required by the FCRA. If TransUnion is unable to complete my request, I request that the accounts be updated to reflect the correct amount, date, status, open and closed date, last date of activity, and time, or deleted immediately, have provided an exhibit of evidence showing the inaccuracies of my reports, Please investigate every piece of information and remove these items below from my credit report.

Company: MOHELA (VA)

My loans were transferred to Mohela in the spring of 2024. I submitted a SAVE plan application XX/XX/2024. According to the Federal Student Aid portal my application was not reviewed or processed by Mohela as of today 's date XX/XX/2024. The Federal Student Aid website temporarily approved my monthly bill with the SAVE plan for XXXX a month. In XXXX, The SAVE plan was put on hold due to supreme court legislation. I received a bill for XXXX. I called Mohela and it was impossible to speak to a representative. After an hour and a half on the phone, the representative I spoke with was not aware of the legislation, did not " see '' my SAVE plan enrollment and said they are not processing electronic IDR plans. I was not given any information on how to reduce my payment since I am not able to afford a nearly XXXX dollar a month payment. She told me that I would be put into forbearance. This was XX/XX/2024 I did not get a bill for XXXX but in XXXX I received another bill. I tried calling Mohela again because I was under the impression that I was in forbearance and would be put automatically into forbearance since I had applied for the SAVE plan in XXXX and should have been enrolled in the SAVE plan and now the legislation will not allow for that plan. Since I was not able to speak with anyone, despite calling and requesting a call back, I tried to enroll in forbearance myself online through their portal. I also submitted a physical copy of an IDR form to try to lower my monthly payment. It is now XXXX, and my forbearance request seems to not have been received and I am " late '' two payments. I have also submitted a PSLF form and according to the Federal Student Aid Website, I only need to make XXXX more payments. However, Mohela is evading my requests for genuine help to reduce my payments, they do not have " any '' record of my PSLF and they simply tell me to keep submitting paper forms that will be processed by whom? This is an absolute nightmare and Mohela is obstructing the process to pay back loans putting the borrower in default.
