Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Also, I was never disclosed of ALL three of my Opt-Out disclosures which states a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party under 15 U.S. Code 6802 unless all three disclosures were satisfied but they were not.

I want to be absolutely clear : I did not authorize these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these inquiries be blocked and removed from my record. I want to stress that this request is not a mistake, nor is it based on any misrepresentation of facts. It's crucial to highlight that these transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. By emphasizing this, I hope to convey the seriousness of my request and ensure it receives proper attention. Furthermore, I want to emphasize that my request is based on accurate and relevant information, and I have no intention of deceiving or manipulating the situation in any way.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem with your payment plan
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc. (GA)

Aidvantage denied my application for an income driven repayment plan that was approved by and sent to them by the department of education because I had regularly paid on my loans during the payment pause. Yes you read correctly, Aidvantage said because I was paying my loans during the pause that my loan was in paid ahead status. and because my loan was in paid ahead status, I could not be placed on an IDR plan. So basically I was punished for paying my student loans during the payment pause. The denial of my IDR from aidvantage said I had to call Aidvantage customer service and request to be taken out of paid ahead status. It took over an hour for me to reach someone and when I did, it took another hour for them to research my account only to end the phone call saying they have put in a request to have my account removed from paid ahead status and to call them back in 9-10 days to see if my account has been taken out of the status and to reapply yet again for another income driven repayment plan at that time. It should be noted that I am also under PSLF as a federal employee and the IDR plan was tied into that.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was on the beach surfing and my car was broken into. My wallet and phone were stolen. I was able to get home and see that the thieves were racking up charges to my 2 Wells Fargo debit cards and XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. I called both companies and blocked the cards right away. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX had $ XXXX charged on it at XXXX XXXX but XXXX returned the money to be within 2 days after their investigation. 

My two Wells Fargo cards had {$14000.00} and {$9100.00} charged to it at two different XXXX. I explained everything to Wells Fargo and provided them with two different police report numbers. I made one about the theft to XXXX and then I made another one with my local XXXX XXXX XXXX PD regarding the actual charges to the cards ( Identity Theft ). 

Wells Fargo for over three weeks has been giving the run around. They take 10 days after every time I call to come back with the result that it was " authorized purchases ''. The thieves had my phone and wallet with ID. It was not me and definitely not authorized by me. Wells Fargo provide me with no information why they are declining me. I tried calling so many times. They told me I have to provide them with more information if they want the case to be reconsidered. All I can give them is my police reports. One operator even told me I need to contact XXXX and get video evidence. I tried and obviously the store would not provide me with that information without a court order. 


I have been with the bank since XXXX. I have three accounts with the bank including XXXX XXXX. I have a high paying job and even use the bank to buy Treasury Bills. I have never used those cards for purchases in the past. It just makes no sense for me to defraud the bank for some reason. Wells Fargo would not connect with with anyone who can give me answers. I wrote emails but I get nothing. I called every day. They just say " You can appeal again '' and it just starts the process of rejection again. 

I attached XXXX police report for stolen items. The XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA PD report number is XXXX
