On XX/XX/XXXX I got a notice from MOHELA stating I was approved for XXXX in the amount of {$1100.00}. This amount is nowhere near the estimate and is not accurate based on my income. I was also laid off at the end of XX/XX/2023 and without a job until XX/XX/2023. I also had to take a $ XXXX pay-cut. My payment should be 10 % of my discretionary income. I called MOHELA and spent two hours on hold just to be told they needed to transfer me.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (CA)

A payment was made using XXXX XXXX XXXX  electronic payment system to your institution on XX/XX/2023 for the entire amount outstanding. Marcus by Goldman Sachs failed to apply the credit at all.

They need to immediately credit the payment, remove all interest & Fees, report to all credit bureaus that my payments have all been made on time with a XXXX balance. 

This is the 2nd time they have misapplied a payment to my account. I was assured a year ago this problem would be resolved and never happen again. Obviously, Marcus by Goldman Sachs failed. I believe compensation is required at this time for these repeat offenses.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: AES/PHEAA (TN)

I called the company servicing my loan XX/XX/2016 to find out what options I had concerning delaying my payments b/c I just had a new baby. I spoke to a representative and she told me to send in my XXXX tax return and that until they figured out my new payment amount my load would be placed in a hold or pause status. I sent in the required information as requested. Later I found out that the information I was given was incorrect when I applied for a credit card. I was denied for the credit card so I look at my XXXX app and discovered that my perfect credit rating was no more. My credit score had dropped from XXXX to XXXX. I called the servicer of my student loan and was told that the information that I received was completely false and that there was no such thing as a pause or hold. I wrote a letter to the servicer demanding that they remove all of the late payments due to the wrong information I received from their representative. They did remove some of them. When they did not remove all of them I wrote them a second letter demanding that they remove the other late payments. I called for an update on the XX/XX/2017 and was told by a supervisor that they were not going to remove the other late payments even though she admitted that the representative gave me false information which let to the incorrect credit reporting that has negatively impacted my life. Me and my husband were planning on buying a new house and now we cant because of this error and the impact it has had on my credit score. The supervisor told me that the only thing they were going to do was file a complaint against the rep and discipline her. This is not enough and I demand that they remove the late payments and if not I 'm in the process of filing another complaint with the department of education and lawsuit. Prior to this instance I was able to get anything I wanted and offered the lowest interest rate available. Now I ca n't get bubble gum on credit. This has devastated my family and I want it corrected and restitution.

Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Re : Request for Removal of Closed and Charged-Off Accounts Accounts : DEPT OF EDUCATIONXXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally request the removal of the above-referenced closed and charged-off accounts from my credit report. These accounts are inaccurately and illegally reporting, and their continued presence on my credit file violates federal and state laws.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ), credit bureaus are required to ensure that only accurate, verifiable, and current information is reported on consumer credit reports. Reporting charged-off accounts or closed accounts without properly verifying the accuracy of the information, especially when no longer relevant or legally collectible, is a violation of this act. Additionally, under Section 623 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), furnishers of credit information are prohibited from reporting incorrect or incomplete information.

Furthermore, under Maryland Commercial Law Code 14-202, it is unlawful to attempt to collect or report inaccurate or outdated information on a credit report. This includes closed and charged-off accounts that should have been updated or removed. 

I specifically request that the following accounts be immediately removed from my credit report : DEPT OF EDUCATIONXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX These accounts have been closed or charged off, and reporting them continues to harm my creditworthiness despite no valid, enforceable debt being associated with these accounts at this time. Their continued presence is inaccurate and misleading, violating my rights under the FCRA and Maryland state law.

Please conduct an immediate investigation and remove these accounts from my credit file. Failure to comply with this request within 30 days will leave me no choice but to pursue legal action to protect my rights, including seeking remedies for damages and legal fees.

I expect a written confirmation that these accounts have been removed and that no further negative reporting will be associated with them.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

I am writing about multiple collection accounts reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX, which I have previously disputed as fraudulent. These accounts are as follows : Account number XXXX in the amount of {$2800.00} Account number XXXX in the amount of {$2300.00} I must emphasize that these accounts are the result of aggravated identity theft, and I did not give anyone permission to report any information regarding these accounts. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 605B, I informed you that these collection accounts were fraudulent and requested that they be blocked from my credit report.

Despite this, you have not blocked the accounts and instead claim that they have been verified. I am formally requesting a detailed explanation of how this verification was conducted. As these are collection accounts resulting from identity theft, I have not signed any agreement or contract related to these debts, nor have I authorized them in any way.

Under the FCRA Section 611, I am entitled to know the specific method of verification and who exactly verified these accounts. Since no documentation exists to prove my liability for these debts, I demand that you immediately delete both collection accounts from my credit file.

Should you fail to remove these accounts, I am prepared to file suit and seek statutory damages of {$1000.00} per violation, as permitted by the FCRA. I trust you will take the necessary steps to ensure these fraudulent accounts are deleted promptly.

Please provide written confirmation of the deletion of these collection accounts within the required legal timeframe.
