Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AZ)

Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity.

Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate.

C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards.

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports.

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards.

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB , FTC and my Attorney General.

Regardless of the multiple written requests, the ITEMS listed below are still reporting on my credit report which is a violation of FCRA.

Given all my attempts to address it directly with XXXX AND TRANSUNION CREDIT BUREAUS, they are willfully negligent and non-complying with federal statutes & I need this matter handled immediately.

Company: Klarna AB (PA)

I attempted to make a purchase on XXXX website. It was advertised specifically, " Klarna : split your purchase into XXXX interest free payments. '' I did this and upon checkout was not given this option but other longer options with interest. So an account was created for me with Klarna. This seems to be a bait and switch scam. I have been injured by this as my credit score dropped as a direct result from opening this account. I realize that can happen when opening a new line of credit but I was tricked into opening an account that I was not allowed to use as advertised. I have contacted both XXXX and Klarna about this issue multiple times about this issue and they each keep referring me to the other.

Company: MOHELA (NC)

I have submitted two requests to CFPB and one to XXXX. I have also reached out to my elected reps. Mohela sent me a letter about my prior requests essentially saying that my XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX administrative forbearances do not count toward PSLF. 

However, on the PSLF XXXX group there are other people who have had their past short term admin forbearances count toward forgiveness due to the 65904 Federal Register published in XX/XX/XXXX. 

All that I am requesting is Mohela to directly address this Register in writing and how it relates to my loans. They refuse to answer my question about this Register. 

As an aside, Mohela told me to apply for the Buy Back program, which I did.

I am writing to formally complain about the ongoing issue of an unresolved charge-off account on my credit report. Despite numerous attempts to dispute and remove this account, it continues to negatively impact my credit history, causing significant financial harm and distress. 

I would like to provide a summary of my efforts to address this matter : I first discovered the presence of the charge-off account on my credit report. Subsequently, I immediately initiated disputes with your credit reporting agency, providing evidence that this account was inaccurately reported. 

Over the course of several months, I have made multiple attempts to dispute and remove this charge-off account. I have followed all required dispute procedures, provided requested documentation, and communicated with the creditor associated with this account to rectify the issue. 

Regrettably, despite my unwavering commitment to resolving this matter, the charge-off account remains on my credit report, adversely affecting my creditworthiness and causing me financial distress. It has not been removed, updated, or adequately investigated by your agency or the creditor. 

These unresolved issues on my credit report have caused me significant financial hardship and emotional distress. I have followed the proper dispute procedures and expected a timely and accurate resolution of my credit history. 

I kindly request that you take immediate action to thoroughly investigate and remove this charge-off account from my credit report. Furthermore, I ask for a written response outlining the steps your organization will take to rectify this matter and prevent future inaccuracies on credit reports. 

I am fully aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other applicable laws, and I will not hesitate to take legal action to protect my rights and interests if this issue remains unresolved. I am asking for your immediate assistance to remove this charge off account in XXXX, Equifax and XXXX credit bureaus : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$7900.00}.

Car was paid in full and released from XXXX XXXX but my credit is negatively reflecting an unpaid balance that has been satisfied which is a direct violation of my rights under the FCRA.

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

I am writing to request assistance with issues Ive been experiencing with Mohela. On XX/XX/2023, I contacted Mohela by phone to pay off the entirety of my student loans- {$37000.00} The money was withdrawn from three of my accounts. The accounts and balance drawn from each is included in the attached document ( Bank statements ). 

On XX/XX/2023 my balance indicated that I owed {$34.00}. I believed at the time that this was interest due so I scheduled an additional payment of that amount. 

That brought the total amount I paid to {$37000.00}. 

However, my balance was continuing to change on nearly a daily basis. On XX/XX/2023, I reached out to Mohela again. My loans ( XXXX and XXXX ) were now showing as unpaid. Mohela 's customer service instructed me that additional time was needed for the payoff to reflect on my account. 

I followed up on XX/XX/2023 because the loans were still showing as unpaid. I made another phone call to Mohela. The customer service representative escalated this to the supervisor and I was advised again to allow up to XXXX business days to correct. Around the same time, I received a billing statement from Mohela stating that I owed {$160.00} by XX/XX/2023. 

By XX/XX/2023, my account was updated. 

The updated balance indicated that my payment from XX/XX/2023 was {$37000.00}. That left me with a stated balance due of {$150.00}. Ive attached Mohela statement as evidence. 

This is where the error lies. 

As evidenced by the attached documents, the original balance Mohela withdrew from my accounts was {$37000.00}. 

The balance Mohela is now stating they withdrew from my accounts was {$37000.00}. Thats {$180.00} less than my original payment. That does not even include the additional {$34.00} that I believed I was paying towards interest. 

I have not received any refunds or returned payments that would account for this difference. 

I have made several attempts to follow up with Mohela. The last attempt resulted in me being disconnected after more than an hour on hold. 

Id like to note that I have spent between XXXX hour and XXXX hours waiting to speak with a customer service representative. I can provide evidence of my call logs if necessary. 

I no longer believe that Mohela is trying to resolve my case in good faith. 

Thats why I am now seeking help from CFPB. As a federal student loan borrower, I want to exercise my right to receive accurate billing statements, fair repayment terms, and quality customer service. 

Please advise me on the proper steps to get assistance with resolving my issues with Mohela. I have enclosed documentation related to my loan. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your guidance on next steps.

In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.
