" 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA (FL)

MOHELA ( a Federal Student Loan servicer ) stole {$4500.00} from a payment I made and scheduled on XX/XX/2023. A payment information below was receipted and acknowledged with : - Confirmation number of XXXX - Payment Amount : {$9500.00} - Payment Effective Date : XX/XX/2023 Then, the above confirmation number was deleted when I checked my account online last Sunday ( XX/XX/2023 ) evening with a payment being shorted in the amount of {$4500.00}. Now, a remaining student loan balance is being reflected inaccurately as {$19000.00} instead of {$15000.00} being the correct amount. 
I have reached to MOHELA directly twice since last Monday ( XX/XX/2023 ) with issue still being unresolved at this time. 
I literally upset that MOHELA did this to a student who has been abiding by law and policies with no late payments ever in the past. MOHELA needs to stop stealing money from students of the United States of America. One bad actor/actress/employee really ruin the reputation of MOHELA this time. MOHELA needs to step up in finding those who are responsible in stealing student 's payments money. 
MOHELA changed a payment amount received from {$9500.00} to {$5000.00} last Sunday ( XX/XX/2023 ) by stealing my own student loan payment in the amount of {$4500.00}.

This was my Aunt 's bank account. My mother was her guardian until my mom passed in XX/XX/XXXX. I applied for guardianship of my Aunt after learning mom had passed.I live in a different state. However, while in court vying to become her guardian, her account was being emptied out by her temporary guardians. Written on the withdrawal slips were the words per court order. Also, my Aunt 's name was misspelled on 3 different occasions.Someone filled out the withdrawal slip using her name. This makes the Bank so negligent, as my Aunt didn't have Id, as she could n't drive & was in a XXXX. If, my Aunt could do banking, why did she need a court ordered guardian? These people did have temporary guardianship over her person only. They did not get full guardianship untilXX/XX/XXXX. However, the money was being taken from the date XX/XX/XXXX. Regardless they never had court approval for this bank account. The bank didn't even ask for a copy of the court order. It states they have a budget from the Court blocked account ; which is a different bank. No one even knew she had an account at this bank until she died in XX/XX/XXXX. I discovered it, when I became the Administrator of her account. I filed a complaint with the bank & also spoke to their Security Dept ( XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ). The Bank is in violation of the bank secrecy act, and still did nothing, but swept it under the rug. The money was being withdrawn while they were being investigated by the court. Also, I had closed the PO BOX in XX/XX/XXXX, as it was in my mother 's name. The bank didn't even bother to check the address on the account.

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.
