Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (SC)

I want to be absolutely clear : I did not approve these transactions to be in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. So, I formally ask to block and remove them from my record. This isn't a mistake, nor is it based on any misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my clear consent or instruction. I'm stressing this to show how serious my request is. It's based on accurate info, and I'm not trying to deceive or manipulate the situation.

Company: SLM CORPORATION (CO)

My daughter found a co-signer and went out and got a Sallie Mae loan for school. ( Because XXXX only gives {$5000.00} out of state for some odd reason. ) She borrowed {$78000.00}. {$39000.00} each year. 
We have paid over {$30000.00} on this loan. Even so, her debt now is basically up to {$100000.00}! 
Now that she has graduated, her payments have gone up to {$1200.00} and change every month. 
In XXXX when the payment was made, the debt had gone up to {$98000.00} because of interest. 
In XXXX when the $ XXXX payment was paid the debt now showed {$99000.00}! 
Daily compounding interest. An astronomical interest rate! How is a young person supposed to climb out from under that kind of robbery? ( It feels like loan sharing ) Sallie Mae simply says oh well. Do the best you can. There is no effort on their part to help a student succeed. They set them up to default. 
My daughter has no problem paying her debt except in this circumstance. She doesnt make enough to cover this massive monthly payment. 
Is Sallie Mae being lawful? Ethical? Or is this a loop hole to consume and destroy? 
Please help.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TN)

ON Equifax It is reporting that I made a payment to XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX. That is false information. Therefore this entire credit report is wrong. No payment was made after XXXX of XXXX. On the report, it also says I was in good standing in XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX XXXX but in XX/XX/XXXX I was 60 days past due. The entire report is wrong. It's also saying I made all payments on time in XXXX & XXXX. That is also incorrect because I was sick and missed a lot of payments, which resulted in repossession, but I got the vehicle back. I want this entire entry on my credit removed since it has falsified information. This is a Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) removal of all inaccurate/invalid credit. I am including how it is reporting on my credit on Equifax XX/XX/XXXX {$6600.00} Closed Overview You have 0 % left to pay on this loan.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I am writing to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report, which has adversely affected my credit score. This is in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Recently, my account balance was incorrectly reported. The correct balance of my account is {$XXXX}. However, the agencies reported that my balance increased, which is not true. Specifically, my balance decreased from {$XXXX} to {$XXXX}, and the correct current balance is {$XXXX}. 

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681 - Section 602 ( a ), I have a right to privacy. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681 - Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written consent. Therefore, the erroneous reporting not only misrepresents my financial status but also violates my rights under these provisions. 

I request that the inaccurate information be corrected immediately, and my credit score be adjusted to reflect the accurate balance of {$XXXX}. Please confirm receipt of this letter and inform me of the steps being taken to resolve this issue.

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

My loan keeps getting moved around as the mortgage companies keep getting bought out. First my loan was through XXXX then to XXXX then to XXXX XXXX and now XXXX. Every single time my loan gets moved around, the month that their transition happens the new lender marks my mortgage as 30 days late. I have NEVER been late on my mortgage, it gets automatically taken out of my bank account every single month. Every time this happens I call the lender and they tell me there is nothing they can do and I have to dispute it on my end. This is negatively affecting my credit score for no reason and it's not fair that I suffer the consequences. I have no say in my loan being moved over when the mortgage company gets bought out and I have never done anything wrong. None of these companies have ever been willing to fix this and they have no explanations for why it keeps happening. To me this is illegal, I am paying every month exactly like I should and I get punished because they sell their company to another. I have been able to get a couple of them fixed but I have a new one from XXXX and I absolutely have proof that I paid it and they won't reverse the late payment mark. I also have one from XXXX last year that has not been reversed that I have fought.

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts. This mistake has caused a misrepresentation of the payment status, indicating a billing error by the creditor.

Reviewed most recent credit report and I noticed a repossession that did not belong to me. After reaching out to the creditors, I was advised to contact the CRA to have the repossession disputed and investigated as they do not have the ability to do so. After contacting the CRA I was meant with push-back even though I expressed the charge off in questions did not belong to me. 

Under code 15 USC 1692g, 15 USC 1681ia1 and 15 USC 1681S-2 this is a clear violation of inaccurate reporting. I feel that these accounts are adversely affecting my credit report and costing me thousands of dollars in interest every year and ability to obtain new credit to purchase a home.
