Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: DISCOVER BANK (IL)

I attempted to obtain my student loan disclosure and application documents from Discover Student Loans because I suspect that the terms of my loan do not reflect the loan that I originally signed up for ( conveniently, only this loan was a variable rate loan, whereas all of my previous loans with them had been fixed rate loans ; this is a significant difference in interest rates given recent rate increases ). I had recently received an email from Discover stating that it had ( unilaterally ) transferred my loan servicing to a new company, XXXX XXXX. When I attempted to obtain these documents from XXXX XXXX ' website by registering an account with them, the documents were not available. I then returned to Discover 's website to find the documents. They have documents pertaining to three ( 3 ) other student loans that I have with them and which they continue to service, but they did not have documents pertaining to a fourth student loan, which seems to be the one that was transferred to be serviced by XXXX XXXX. I then called their customer service and was eventually put in contact with a person who purported to help with my issue. That person stated that XXXX XXXX should have the requested documents and put me on hold, stating that she would speak to XXXX XXXX. After being on hold for a few minutes, she returned and stated that she could give me their phone number. I responded that I did not want their phone number as I knew that Discover had possession of these documents since I applied for the loan with Discover, but she pretended that she could not hear me on the phone and then hung up. I attempted to call back, was transferred to the same department, and received an automated message that their office had closed for the day at XXXX XXXX  ( it was then XXXX XXXX ). I am now unable to obtain this information.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AR)

" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX, XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MD)

My account with TransUnion 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 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.

TransUnion 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

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ACCOUNTS? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Please CORRECT the accounts, or inaccurate information, from my file immediately XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
