Im honestly stumped. Regardless of how many times I claim to be the individual writing this letter it seems this message is truly missed. For the record, Im the one whos initiating these disputes under MY NAME. The following items are UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming these are fraudulent or of a high risk nature. The documents Ive provided are legit. These are mine, filed with the appropriate agencies & support my position. Lets get the record straight!!! First of all I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, Ive never sent my documentation to anyone else which seems to be claim constitutes high-risk due to potential fraud. According to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. 

( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency.

Again, under 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court. I have attached my FTC report and my Police report that I have filed on my local police department that would testify that I am a victim of Identity Theft.

I am writing to dispute the inaccurate names and addresses appearing on my credit report issued by your agency. 
This letter is a formal dispute and request for investigation under the Fair credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC et seq.

The FCRA mandates credit reporting agencies to maintain accurate information in consumer reports. The following provisions support my dispute. 
1. 15 U.S. 1681e ( b ) - accuracy of information : This requires credit reporting agencies to ensure maximum accuracy in consumer reports. The inaccurate names and addresses negatively impact the accuracy of my credit report.

2. 15 U.S. 1681i - Duty to investigate : This provision obligates credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes the accuracy of their credit report. I request a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies.

3. 15 U.S. 1681c - Disclosure of Consumer Reports : This stipulates that consumer reports should only include relevant and creditworthiness-related information. The inaccurate names and addresses do not contribute to an accurate representation of my credit worthiness and should be removed.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA (MO)

I applied for the PSLF waiver before the deadline in XXXX. I then sent in all of my PSLF documentation. This was eventually processed and my payment counter was updated to well over XXXX eligible payments on my existing consolidation loan, most of which are also qualifying, so I am very close to 10 years of completed payments. Please note that they had a different qualifying payment count on the two parts of my sub/unsub consolidation loan which was incorrect because a sub/unsub consolidation is one loan and the count should have been aligned on both parts. They also had missed a couple of months that should have been added to the count. 

Neither of those two issues matter as much now because I had one loan that had been left out of the consolidation that did not get the full payment count. Therefore, I worked with MOHELA to determine if the same payment counts would apply if I reconsolidated to add the missed loan ( because I had applied for the waiver by the deadline ). I was reassured by multiple people at MOHELA that it would. I also found documentation online that it would. My consolidation was finished in early XX/XX/XXXX. My account now reflects just 5 eligible payments. I have called and messaged MOHELA repeatedly for the past 5+ months only to be ignored or told a different story every time I call. I was told that this fall they would update the counter. Then via messaging they said my issue was resolved ( it is not ). The waiver was already approved and processed previously, so all they have to do is update my payment counter to match what I had before and add the months since consolidation. I have attached the documentation MOHELA previously posted online that indicated if consolidating by the end of XXXX, I would still get the payment count benefit ( 4th bullet point ). I have attached the message from MOHELA just after my consolidation reassuring me that I would get the payment counter update to match what I had before. And I have attached a screen print of what my qualifying payment counter looked like just before that consolidation happened.

They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out.

On XX/XX/23 I was denied my own extension of credit which is fraud. I signed the application which they securitized and made a security. I wrote them a letter stating I am writing to dispute the adverse action taken against me by your institution, which I believe to be in violation of 12 CFR Part 1002 Regulation B, Title 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( p ), Title 15 U.S. Code 1644 ( f ), and Title 15 U.S. Code 1611. The adverse action in question pertains to the denial of my recent application for [ Credit Card ]. 

On [ XX/XX/23 ], I received a written notice from your institution, indicating that my application for [ credit card ] has been denied. The specific reason ( s ) as to why I was denied is irrelevant because I have the right to credit and withholding my securities is securities fraud! Your institution is in clear violation of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Consumer Credit Protection Act! 

In light of the above violations, I kindly demand, Since I have been denied access to my own credit, that you please retract my application! 
Please acknowledge receipt of this dispute letter within 10 business days and inform me of the actions taken to address my concerns. Should you require any additional information from me to facilitate this process, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

UCC-1 filed by the federal reserve system tells me that I am entitled to my own extension of credit. See attachments.

I requested documents on accounts that have signatures of all parties involved. I requested such documents via mail TWICE and by phone. I never received such documents and the companies never provided any type of follow up through mail, phone, or email. Some companies would not even give me information over the phone because I could not verify certain account details. I have already had issues with fraud before. The accounts are listed below with as much information as I could gather on them. 

XX/XX/XXXX account number XXXX XX/XX/XXXX account numberXX/XX/XXXX account number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX could not obtain an account number but it seems health insurance related and I have had all health insurance items covered under my insurance policies and they would also not provide documents as previously stated. 

DEPT OF ED / XXXX This item appears on my account several times and not only has it been past the seven year mark for them ( meaning they should not even appear on the report in the first place ), there is no balance associated with these accounts. 


This is all the information I was able to gather on these accounts. Again, documents were requested multiple times and never received and no kind of follow up from the companies in regards to the accounts in questions ever happened. This is against the law as they have to provide documents when reuqested to do so. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act. The List of accounts above has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681.
