Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX XXXX XXXX Date : XX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Against XXXX XXXX XXXX for Multiple Charge-Offs, Failure to Issue XXXX Forms, and Mishandling of Debt Accounts Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against XXXX, XXXX, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, PA XXXX, for improper handling of XXXX debt accounts, XXXX ( amount {$510.00} ) and XXXX ( amount {$1600.00} ). I believe that XXXX has engaged in unlawful and deceptive practices that have caused significant harm to my credit and financial standing. 

1. Multiple Charge-Off Reporting Perpay has XXXXeported multiple charge-offs on my credit reports for these accounts, which is a violation of credit reporting laws under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). A charge-off is a single event, but XXXX has unfairly reported it numerous times, severely damaging my credit profile. This misrepresentation of the status of the accounts should not be tolerated. 

Given the egregious nature of these multiple charge-offs, I am requesting the complete deletion of these accounts from all credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX ) XXXX Simply correcting the errors or consolidating the charge-offs will not suffice, as the improper handling of this situation has already caused long-lasting harm. 

2. Failure to Issue 1099-C Forms XXXX has also failed to issue IRS Form 1099-C for the charged-off amounts, as required for debts over {$600.00}. These charge-offs should have triggered the issuance of a 1099-C, but I have yet to receive these documents. This failure to comply with IRS regulations raises questions about the legitimacy and handling of these accounts.

3. Continued Collection Efforts Without Verification Despite the accounts being charged off, I continue to receive collection efforts from XXXX without any valid proof of the debt. I have not been provided with : Full account history or itemization of charges. 
A copy of the original signed agreement related to these debts. 
Proof that XXXX has the legal right to collect on these accounts. 
Request for Action : Immediate and full deletion of these accounts from my credit reports, given the multiple charge-offs and unlawful actions. 
Investigation into XXXX failure to issue 1099-C forms for charged-off debts. 
Confirmation that no further collection efforts will be made without proper verification of the debt. 
XXXX actions constitute a violation of both the FCRA and FDCPA, and I ask that the CFPB fully investigate these practices. Their conduct has caused significant harm to my financial standing, and only the complete deletion of these accounts can rectify this damage. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a resolution that upholds my consumer rights. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I received a notification on XX/XX/year> that someone had applied for a credit card in my name with XXXX XXXX. I immediately called XXXX and reported it as fraud. I was provided with case number XXXX and told the hard inquiry would be removed from my credit as the request was fraudulent. 

It is now XXXX and the hard inquiry is still on my report. I called XXXX XXXX back on XX/XX/year> and was told that they did everything required on their end to have the fraudulent credit inquiry removed and again provided with case # XXXX. I was told to follow up with XXXX. 

I called XXXX on the same day and they opened an escalated case to reach back out to XXXX to determine what happened. I was told I would hear within XXXX business days a determination. I was provided with case # XXXX by XXXX. 

I called XXXX back on XX/XX/year> as I have not heard anything from XXXX. I was told by the rep I needed to file a CFPB report in order to have the inquiry removed. I was not happy with this as I reported the fraud and XXXX did everything necessary to have the inquiry removed from my credit.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (NJ)

Navient is my loan servicer company who I signed up with them in conjunction with a company who is being sued for their illegal practices, the loan they are asking money for is from a school that defrauded me and all of its students the school was called XXXX University a brand of XXXX college. I contacted the department of education because I was defrauded by this school I applied for borrow defense and loan forgiveness I sent Navient a certified letter letting them know they need to contact the department of education in regards to my account, Navient never contacted them. I received notice from the department of education that I have been approved for loan forgiveness because it is a fact and has been proven that that XXXX University committed several crimes and defrauded students and that also the department of education issued predatory loans to students under false pretenses because the schools were proven in court not legitimate and the department of education did illegal things that is why they are being sued as well. Anyway I am writing you because Navient is harassing me and trying to collect money on a fraudulent school loan and you can not do that and Navients practices are illegal considering their is a lawsuit going on with the company that signed me up with them as well as the department of education. I do not want them affecting my credit and harassing me I have the proof of the loan forgiveness now wether Navient likes it or not they have to accept the loan has been forgiven and Navient has no claim to collect on a fraudulent school and it is illegal for Navient to try to collect money in that fashion when it has been proven that the school was a fraud. Also the highlight is that Navient is associated with companies that do loan repayments and those companies are being sued as well. My question is why you allow Navient to continue to operate when they have been sued already for their illegal practices? Navient changes nothing they victimize students trying to go to school to have a better life and that is digusting that nothing has been done with them and they are allowed to prey on people. Please do something! I have proof that my loan was forgiven and I have a receipt from certified mail that I sent Navient to tell them about my account and to contact department of education. I also have a copy from the department of education saying my loan was forgiven. But Navient still continues to harass me which is illegal considering the recent change in events.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IN)

My account with EQUIFAX XXXX 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 to be updated.

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. 


EQUIFAX 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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
