Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TN)

Attention Fraud Department Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to address a significant concern regarding the reporting of a canceled debt by your company. It has come to my attention that your company has failed to comply with the requirements outlined in the Internal Revenue Code ( IRC ) section 6050P, which governs the reporting of canceled debts to both the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) and the debtor. 

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered that a debt owed to your company has been reported as canceled or forgiven. However, I have not received a Form XXXX, as required by law, to report this canceled debt to the IRS and to me as the debtor. This failure to comply with IRC section 6050P not only places your company in violation of federal tax laws but also has serious implications for my credit report and financial well-being. 

As a result of your company 's non-compliance, I am demanding the immediate removal of the XXXX from my credit report. The inaccurate reporting of this canceled debt is unjustified and misleading, and it adversely affects my creditworthiness and financial standing. Furthermore, the failure to provide the necessary Form XXXX deprives me of essential information needed for accurate tax reporting. 

I urge your company to take swift action to rectify this situation by : 1. Removing the XXXX from all major credit bureaus ' records, including XXXX, Experian, and XXXX. 
2. Providing written confirmation of the removal of the account from my credit report within 15 days from the date of this letter. 

Failure to comply with this demand will result in further escalation of this matter, including but not limited to filing complaints with relevant regulatory authorities and seeking legal recourse to protect my rights as a consumer. 

Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and provide confirmation of the actions taken to address this issue. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at XXXX or XXXX. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NY)

Hello I received a letter from Wells Fargo stating that I had a shortage in my escrow in XXXX of this year and had an option to pay the shortage or they would increase my mortgage from XXXX to XXXX. Well I paid the escrow amount which was {$20.00} and I currently have an escrow balance of {$710.00}. I was told by a rep today that even thought I paid the escrow balance they were still going to increase my mortgage as a cushion for the future shortages. 

Well the future has not occurred and I have paid the shortage they requested. Therefore I should not have a mortgage increase for no reason. If I have an shortage or an overage I am usually notified by them so the issue can be resolved. This is how they mis-managed my mortgage from the beginning and every year it increased with outrages amounts until I got behind and then they wanted to foreclosure on my property to take my home without any workout options at that time. I am also a victim of the XXXX XXXX  lawsuit they had to pay to their customers and they sent me an amount that was not acceptable and I am currently challenging them to do right by me as far as the payout, Therefore I am hoping this is not their way of retaliation again me by increasing and raising my mortgage to recoup the funds they have to payout. 

I don't trust them they have done too much damage to me mentally, financially and physically and I want them to leave me alone as I am caught up and working on staying caught up so I don't lose my home.

On XX/XX/XXXX I finally received my official letter in the mail ( attached ) from MOHELA and XXXX XXXX XXXX informing me that they had determined that I met all of the requirements for student loan debt forgiveness under the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX program and that my existing student loans had been forgiven in total. While this was certainly welcome news to me after an arduous year and a half of dealing with multiple loan servicers and submitting and re-submitting my documentation and dealing with many unhelpful bureaucrats along the way, there is still XXXX more issue that has been left unresolved ; namely that I am due {$4900.00} dollars as reimbursement for XXXX overpayment for the 18 months of payments that I made after I had reached XXXX qualifying payments for my loans in XXXX of XXXX. I am including a screen capture file ( attached ) showing my XXXX  tracker with XXXX Qualifying Payments approved on XX/XX/XXXX which was the status of my account a few weeks before my student loan forgiveness was approved and processed and then my online account showed as in good standing once the forgiveness was processed ( additional screen capture attached as well ). This clearly shows that I had made many months of extra payments, along with some additional credit for Qualifying Payment periods during the XXXX student loan payment pause period. 

Since receiving my loan forgiveness under XXXX in XXXX I have made several follow up phone calls to both MOHELA staff and staff at Federal Student Aid to find out when I would be receiving my XXXX  reimbursement payments and neither entities were able to provide me any information or confirm to me that I was indeed getting the reimbursement that I am rightfully owed under federal law and multiple XXXX XXXX order relating to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX program. 

After making a year and half of extra payments on my DIRECT Federal subsidized and unsubsidized loans after I had crossed the required XXXX payment threshold under the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX, I am due those funds. Those extra payments that I made in the total amount of {$4900.00} dollars during the period of XX/XX/XXXX through XXXX of XXXX should be refunded to me immediately now that my loans have been forgiven. 

I request an answer immediately as to the status of my {$4900.00} dollar XXXX overpayment reimbursement and the quick deposit of these funds back to me either via direct deposit from the XXXX Treasury to my bank checking account or a physical check in the mail to my mailing address.

My account with XXXX XXXXXXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in XXXX AND XXXX to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXXXXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

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.
