To whom it may concern, I have recently discovered that there is unauthorized information in my name being used on my credit reports and would like to file a dispute.

These items are fraudulent and impacting my relationships with creditors.

Company: MOHELA (FL)

The Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S.C. 552a ) outlines the requirement to provide notice to individuals in cases where personal information is being collected. In my case, the authority for collecting my information is 451 et seq. of the Higher Education Act ( HEA ) of 1965, as amended ( 20 U.S.C. 1087a et seq. ), and the authorities for collecting and using my Social Security Number ( SSN ) are 428B ( f ) and 484 ( a ) ( 4 ) of the HEA ( 20 U.S.C. 1078-2 ( f ) and 1091 ( a ) ( 4 ) ), as well as 31 U.S.C. 7701 ( b ). I understand that participating in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan ( Direct Loan ) Program and providing my SSN are voluntary, but the requested information, including my SSN, must be provided to participate.

The principal purposes for collecting my information, including my SSN, as stated in the Privacy Act notice, are to verify my identity, determine my eligibility for loans or loan benefits under the Direct Loan Program, service my loan ( s ), and, if necessary, locate me and report on my loan ( s ) in the event of delinquency or default. My SSN is also used as an account identifier and to grant me electronic access to my account information.

Despite having followed the required procedures and submitted my 1099-C ( Cancellation of Debt ) form, I have yet to receive any response or resolution to my concerns. This lack of response and engagement in addressing my issue is causing significant distress and hindrance to my financial well-being. I kindly request that you promptly acknowledge my previous submissions and initiate a resolution process to address the issues at hand.

I believe that my rights under the Privacy Act and other federal and state constitutions are being infringed upon by the continued reporting of my student loan information to credit bureaus. I am eager to work with your office to resolve these concerns in a mutually beneficial manner. Please treat this matter with the utmost urgency and priority, as it affects my personal financial situation and rights.

I look forward to receiving your response at your earliest convenience.

Company: MOHELA (UT)

MOHELA Student Loan Servicing https : //www.mohela.com/ I completed the PSLF program and they set my balance to {$0.00}. 
They stopped reporting to the credit bureaus after the balance was paid and are not properly showing my credit history. 

The student loan debt still shows up on all 3 credit reports as an amount due. 
This affects my ability to qualify for credit and loans because they assume I have a payment of 1 % monthly on the original balance before the discharge. 

I received a letter from MOHELA dated XXXX XXXX XXXX that the loan balance had been forgiven through some other means besides my 10 years of PSLF payments. 
This forgiveness is stated as effective as of XX/XX/XXXX and here we are in XX/XX/XXXX and the debt is still not paid according to the credit Bureaus. 

I find their actions purposeful harassing and against Fair Credit Reporting. 
And the discharge should be backdated to either XX/XX/XXXX ( or earlier ) or XX/XX/XXXX. 
And they have no place in their online messages system to send them a message. 
Also calling them on the phone is a forever on hold, I have not been able to get anyone on the phone to complain about this issue. 
I did my 10 years of PSLF and still dealing with this kind of corruption!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: LEXISNEXIS (LA)

I am writing to formally complain about the inaccurate and outdated information that LexisNexis continues to report on my consumer credit report, despite my repeated attempts to rectify the situation. I initially contacted LexisNexis through written correspondence on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, requesting corrections to be made to my credit report. Unfortunately, the issues persist, and I am deeply concerned about the impact this has on my creditworthiness. 

The inaccuracies in my LexisNexis report are twofold. Firstly, the report contains outdated addresses and phone numbers, some of which date back over XXXX years, or are entirely unrelated to me. I have not resided at these locations or used these phone numbers for an extended period, and it is imperative that this outdated information be removed from my report promptly. 

Secondly, my name, which I have previously requested to be corrected, still appears incorrectly. I have submitted copies of my state ID and social security documents that clearly display my correct name and address. Despite providing this evidence, my name remains inaccurate on my LexisNexis credit report, which further jeopardizes my ability to access credit and financial services. 

I understand the importance of accurate credit reporting, and I expect that LexisNexis, as a consumer reporting agency, will adhere to the regulations and guidelines set forth by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). It is vital for my financial well-being that my credit report reflects only accurate and up-to-date information. 

I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's assistance in investigating this matter and ensuring that LexisNexis promptly corrects the inaccuracies in my credit report, specifically : Removal of outdated addresses and phone numbers. 
Correction of my name to match the information provided in my state ID and social security documents. 
I would appreciate your prompt attention to this issue, as it directly affects my ability to access essential financial services. Please inform me of any steps taken or any additional information needed to resolve this matter as soon as possible. 

Thank you for your assistance in addressing this concern. I eagerly await your response and resolution to this matter. 

Sincerely, [ Your Name ].
