The items listed below are reported on my personal credit file and were found in my reports with XXXX credit reporting agencies. These items were opened fraudulently. Ive informed all parties of the issue & provided the necessary documentation to support my claim. The credit reporting agency ( CRA ) & data furnisher ( DF ) are not complying with federal law in regard to identity theft. Additionally, the credit reporting agency & data furnisher have not provided me with any evidence of an open contract, signed contract, or any valid proof this was opened, authorized, or created by me. Since this is a strict violation of FCRA laws I need the items removed from my file.

In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

I have about six accounts that were charged off in late XXXX, early XXXX. These accounts were closed and sent to collections and debt collection law firms. In XXXX, XXXX, I settled and paid all of these accounts. My credit payment history for the last year and a half has been perfect. 

While trying to apply for a mortgage to secure housing for me and my family, a tri-merge credit report from XXXX XXXX was obtained. Those six accounts which all have the status of " closed '', in fact two years ago, are showing current reporting status of " late payments ''. There was not an option to pay the creditor directly, as I was working with the debt collectors. 

However, I created credit monitoring accounts with XXXX, XXXX and Equifax to monitor the progress of my credit finally being cleared up. 

On each of my personal accounts with those three reporting agencies, it does not show the late payments, in particular in the 12 months. It does show they were closed and listed as collections. So, how can there be this difference between the tri-merge report from XXXX XXXX and the viewing of my credit reports from these three agencies. A credit report monitoring account has cost me money. 

I have denied a mortgage loan, because it is a federally guaranteed loan ( Section 184 for Native Americans ), the guidelines are strict, I know how it works, I work for XXXX XXXX  XXXX - XXXX XXXX  myself. 

How can the reports differ? How can I get this cleared up? In my opinion, reporting late on closed accounts that were sent to collections years ago is punitive. 

What to do?

Company: MOHELA (WI)

I have federal student loans with MOHELA. I had been placed in " in school deferment '' since I started a different program. However, I do not want to be in deferment on any of my loans. I stated this in writing to them on XX/XX/XXXX requesting to be removed from deferment indefinitely. They took me off, but then placed me back in deferment on XX/XX/XXXX. I had to request AGAIN to be removed indefinitely from deferment, which they did. However, I received a message today XX/XX/XXXX that my loans have been placed in deferment again. I have again submitted a written request to never be placed in deferment ever for any of my loans. I have followed their policies and procedures now three times to never be placed in deferment and yet they keep doing it. It needs to stop. They are not handling my loans or requests correctly, even to their own policies and procedures. They are placing undue stress and burden on me as a borrower. Please, I am begging you, their incompetence must be stopped. It is not fair for me to follow the rules, and yet they can flaunt them in the face of every borrower they service. I have done everything asked and requested, and they keep making mistakes. This significantly impacts my ability to complete 120 PSLF payments in a timely manner.

Up until yesterday, XXXX, I could not get into my Equifax account. When I finally accessed it yesterday, it showed the name XXXX XXXX XXXX with birthdate as XX/XX/XXXX and multiple addresses that I never resided at. According to the first CSR I spoke with there was another birthdate showing which was XX/XX/XXXX. 

Because of these errors I missed out on being approved for a XXXX  with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Mortgage. They could not import my information because of the erroneous information. The first CSR transferred me to someone who was supposed to be her superior. She argued that the information showing on my report was correct and that she didn't see the info that I was looking at. Because of that I saved that information. 
When I asked her why I couldn't get my credit report faxed to me or the mortgage company, she would only say that it had to be mailed ; which would cause it to get into my hands or the mortgage company too late. She also stated that my report was in shambles because of " internal issues. '' When I pressed her for an explanation of the internal issues she wouldn't answer. I told her that they should give me a report and make it accessible immediately to the inquiring mortgagor. Why should I suffer and be penalized for their error.
