To Whom This May Concern : I need a formal written communication letter from Equifax Risk Managements legal department showing that such regulations in the Equifax Risk Management Credit Bureau where they have such rights to impose upon credit cardholders the rights to obtain such Internal Revenue Reports on consumers under Form 4506-C. A Form 4506 has nothing to do with a credit card dispute or a credit file inquiry. If such does produce such regulations stating such.

I too need the Department of Veteran Affairs Form received completed and signed off on under such record verification process. VA FORM XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, I signed off on and consented to receive such records before making a charge to any credit card on file or record. Where are those records under such signed authorization? All records must be dated before charging such a credit card on file and such reporting to the credit bureau as a line of credit extended or authorized by the cardholder. Where are such official and legal records? I need such official records that should show and tell anyone or everyone, that I am responsible for something that I never authorized. Equifax has nothing to do with my Income Tax Return and to have such business in sending me some Form 4506-C. Equifax Risk Management Legal Counsel is requested as requested before to cause this matter that is still not solved to this date. 

These records are still missing from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus System in nature to the event and activities conducted from XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX under credit card number ending in XXXX. Where there is a charge, there are official and legal records. 

I need these records attached under an official and legal signature from someone in the legal department that you should have by now. I need these records under your next response for the records... 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX Customer CC : Legal Review

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (GA)

XXXX Ally Auto has blocked my account from making any online payments. There was an issue with one of my banks which resulted in returned payments from Ally attempting to debit the account several times. I had to use a different account that Ally successfully received payment from. On XX/XX/23 I attempted to make a payment online at I was locked out of my account and was unable to get back into the account until XX/XX/23. Since then I have been trying to speak with a manager, which Ally refuses to transfer me to as to why my account is blocked from making payments online. I spoke with several reps who said I'm being required to submit certified payments. I've repeatedly stated that I don't have access to that option and asked for additional information, which was also refused. These reps claim that this is Ally 's policy and that my bank blocked my account. My bank did not do this and can not block another company 's account. This policy is not in my contract nor is it on the disclosures on the website. It is illegal to make any changes to a consumer account without proper written notification and as a result of the lack of competency from this company, I have acquired unnecessary late fees and Ally refuses to address my issues. By law, Ally was required to send me notice 30 days before my due date and they failed to do so. At this point, they are scamming customers because this is not a policy included in my written contract or any of the disclosure agreements. Ally needs to unblock my account so I can make a payment or completely resolve my loan before this turns into a legal matter.

I closed my joint account with my Ex wife and set up a new XXXX XXXX account - I tried transferring my money from Apple to XXXX and my account was locked.

I called back several times and have been greeted with different answers - That they can't confirm my number, that my name is linked to an OLD apple joint account with my ex wife ( which she closed ) and that I just have to wait until I'm called back as my funds are frozen completely. These are my entire savings and I can't access them despite offering identity and more. 

I've called around 7x over the past 2 weeks and can't get any other answer except 'wait '

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (CA)

NationStar Mortgage , LLC, bought out my mortgage from my previous lender in XXXX 2015 and in the process changed billing information on the account without my authorization, including setting up an impound account ( Escrow account ) and changing themselves to the billing recipient and payee of my homeowners insurance policy. When the renewal came due, I was not notified and instead Nationstar paid this on my behalf. Three months later, and without any form of notification, Nationstar is now covering this cost in my billing, with additional fees and an expectation that I will be paying another couple hundred dollars to pad the escrow account I never authorized. Every representative I 've called has told me something different and I 've spent at least 6 hours on the phone with them. I 'm not the first customer to complain about having to jump through hoops and their lack of communication and account manipulation ( look at their XXXX page ).

There is a name that keeps showing up on my Equifax report that is NOT mine & was NEVER a name used by me. 

You can review all XXXX of my active credit line accounts, my bank information, driver 's license ( which I submitted in multiple disputes ) to see that the listed name does not belong to me. 

This is not correct and I want this persons name removed from my report immediately. My legal first, middle & last name from my social security number, driver 's license, and all legal documents does not have a single name in common with this person. 

I have attached XXXX documents showing my identity. Remove the wrong name from all aspects and previous Equifax reports.

XXXX issues : 1. Took additional month payment and booked against " Principle '' not " Payment '' so stated online and in automated phone system I was delinquent, when in fact I was ahead of schedule. There is no option to allocation additional payment to your chosen category 2. I decided to pay bi weekly instead of monthly. They hold that bi weekly payment not applying to your account/principle/payment until a full months amount is recieved. Therefore they garner interest on that cash for thier business while charging me interest on the partial payment I have given them, but they do n't apply to my loan 3. When attempting to reach thier " Equity Acceleration Team '', to discuss the mechanics of a bi weekly payment, I was kept on hold 45 minutes between XXXX different customer service reps. I was then told when the rep tried to reach the Equity Team they get disconnected. Therefor I should call back. Basically they are either not staffing thier service lines during working hours, they do not resolve technical problems, or they do not answer on purpose. There are numerous reviews from others stating this happened to them. This is a tactic to delay the bi weekly payment option therefore mitigating the chance that I reduce my principle faster which would reduce NationStar 's interst/earning on my loan.

Company: MOHELA (OK)

I have submitted disputes to Mohela, XXXX, and XXXX on how my student loans have been discharged as of XX/XX/XXXX. However, Mohela, XXXX, and XXXX are still reporting balances on my student loans to XXXX and XXXX. As of XX/XX/XXXX, balances are still showing on my XXXX and XXXX credit reports. In addition, my credit report shows a comment that the creditor ( Mohela ) has been reporting the information correctly ; however, they are still reporting balances to XXXX and XXXX. Only XXXX reports my student loan balances correctly. 

Also, I have duplicate trade lines on my XXXX credit report : one line reflecting a balance ( still showing that it's serviced by XXXX ) and another line showing no balance. The duplicate trade line showing a balance needs to be deleted from my credit report. 

Mohela has been difficult to reach, and when I do reach them, they don't seem to be looking at the details ; rather they are sending general responses to my complaints. 

This is my second CFPB complaint against Mohela.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding inaccurate credit reporting by [ Credit Bureau Name ] in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681 Sections 602A and 604A ( 2 ).

I am writing to formally dispute several items on my credit report that I believe were reported in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1692j, which prohibits " furnishing certain deceptive forms ''. I'd like to bring your attention to the case Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. Nov. 14,1995 ), where the court held that credit reporting agencies must avoid reporting information in a manner that creates a materially misleading impression.

Given the precedent set by this case, I kindly request the removal of these accounts from my credit report or its update to reflect a neutral or positive status. Doing so would ensure that my credit report is a fair and accurate representation of my credit history. Below are the refenced accounts that need to be updated to reflect positive and or removed from my credit report. Specifically, the following items on my report are disputed in attached document
