I'm a XXXX veteran with a XXXX property credit. Instead of Rocket mortgage viewing the tax detail report sent over by XXXX XXXX here in Ohio.

Now from their error i have a shortage, which increase my payments by {$870.00} per month. I can't afford this new payment. I've never missed a payment, now an error on rocket mortgage will have me to foreclose.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (LA)

I recently submitted a letter regarding the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report, but it's now been over 30 days, and I haven't received any response.

According to Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), youre required to investigate disputed items within 30 days, and if you don't, those items must be removed from my report.

Since it's been more than 30 days, I expect my credit report to be updated immediately, reflecting the removal of the disputed accounts. If this isn't resolved quickly, Ill have no choice but to consider legal action, as this ongoing delay has caused me considerable stress. 

Additionally, I was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion data breaches, which makes me even more worried about how my personal information is being handled.

I have received my credit report which suggests that I may have owed you something in the past or present. However, there is no evidence to support your claim, so I request that you dismiss all claims and remove any harmful reports against me. Specifically, I request that you remove any current reported items that are potentially lacking mandatory physical document evidence to verify the truth and accuracy of the claim, as well as any evidence of compliance with the certified XXXX XXXX format reporting standards. 

My data was affected by the Equifax data breach, resulting in numerous fraudulent items appearing on my credit report that I do not recognize. As these claims remain unproven and undocumented, they can not be assumed valid nor compliantly reported. I request evidence of your adherence to applicable compliance standards for this particular account. Furthermore, I must insist on the immediate deletion of these unsubstantiated claims. This matter is currently under investigation by the XXXX.

I am writing to file a complaint regarding the mishandling of my credit report, which is causing significant financial impact and distress in my life. On XXXX, I sent a dispute letter to address inaccurate and unknown items on my credit report. Shockingly, over 30 days have gone by, and I haven't received any response from the credit bureaus. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 611 ( a ), mandates a 30-day investigation period for such disputes. The credit bureaus ' lack of response raises concerns about their compliance with this crucial requirement. As a consumer, I have the right to demand the immediate removal of these inaccuracies from my credit report if they fail to respond within 30 days. Yet, I feel as though my concerns are being ignored, leaving me with mounting financial stress. I must also bring to your attention that I have been affected by the XXXX data breach. This breach might have contributed to the inaccuracies plaguing my credit report, further complicating my financial situation. I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene and thoroughly investigate this matter. The credit bureau 's prolonged inaction has caused me significant distress and financial hardships. I demand immediate attention and resolution to rectify these inaccuracies. As a concerned consumer, I am ready to take legal actions if necessary to protect my rights and financial well-being. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will act swiftly to address this matter and hold the credit bureau accountable for their actions. Please delete the negative inaccurate accounts from my credit report! Thank you for your urgent attention to this complaint. I look forward to a prompt resolution to this distressing situation.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with the interest rate
Company: American Credit Acceptance, LLC (GA)

I have asked for clarification with my contracts APR because my contract is not clear. On page one of the contract, it states that the APR is calculated on a yearly rate, but on page 3 of the contract it states that " We figure the Finance Charge on a daily basis at the annual percentage rate on the unpaid part of the amount finance. If this is so, this is contradictory, and or unclear, and would violate TILA, as it is not clear and concise.

I have consistently asked for clarification on the calculation, as a simple email, or letter showing the calculation would suffice. The neglect of the provision on the calculation is part of a predatory practice, as the 28 percent was as well. As stated before, I was not well informed in my decision, and was supposed to be extended with information on my right to rescission, and was not.

ACA has also stated that a customer transaction history can serve as a notarized account ledger, but they do not provide proof that is being sought. Beyond that, as ACA has noted, at the time of my original complaint, they were indeed the 3rd party. A third party I never signed a contract with.

In my understanding of my installment contract, I was in agreement with XXXX XXXX, and I was under the belief that assigning the interest meant that a finance company would be handling the money, not that my car would be sold to American Credit Acceptance. This is why I continued to ask for my original creditor, or seller for communication and clarity on how the finance charge was calculated- to no avail as ACA refused to answer the sought after questions- 1 ) How to contact AutoNation as the information I had was incorrect. 2 ) Proof of Purchase through provision of the account ledger.

American Credit Acceptance has also failed to respond to my request for arbitration and has instead notified me that they no longer own the account. I was only notified after they did an investigation. I was only notified because of my request for arbitration. According to the final paragraph in my RISC, I have a right to arbitration and feel as if they have continuously violated my right with not providing what I have rightfully asked for.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (PA)

Currently out of college. XXXX from XXXX XXXX of XXXX and University XXXX XXXX. When your in college your told its ( private student loans ) just like your other loans ( XXXX ). Then you graduate and find out there is no payment plan besides what they charge to have paid off. There is no help for how private borrowers are being ripped off. Then told private student loans fall under same category of federal student loans in Bankruptcy. That is not fair when private loans are not federally backed and dont have to offer income based repayment but are protected in Bankruptcy. If they are protected then they need to offer the same repayment options as federal student loans. If they dont have to offer same repayment then they shouldnt be protected in Bankruptcy. Its not fair to us borrowers. Since obtaining my degrees my private loan balance has increased to XXXX and payments are $ XXXX/month. I cant afford this and still try to survive. What can be done? What help is out there? My loan is thru Navient. They owe and are not forced to pay but those of us barely surviving are forced to pay.
