This is my multiple request that I have been a victim of identity theft and that no one seems to care, that I want to dispute specific records in my credit file that do not belong to me, or that I have signed any agreement.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) is all about making sure credit reporting is fair and accurate. When there are violations under the FCRA, it messes up the banking system, which relies on accurate credit reports. Unfair credit reporting can also shake people 's trust in the system. So, if any of my accounts get reported without my permission, that's basically identity theft, and it's a breach of my privacy since I should have control over what's listed. Luckily, there are laws like 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 that protect me. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads 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 accounts listed without my expressed written consent. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

After being on workers comp for four years, I paid off all of my existing debt except my mortgage in XX/XX/2023. XXXX and XXXX show this correctly in their credit reports. Experian claims that I still owe {$2200.00} on a XXXX issued by XXXX XXXX I called XXXX XXXX several times and they tell me that they show no outstanding debt balances for me. I filed another dispute with Experian. They refuse to even give me the account number of the closed account they claim I own money on. Furthermore Experian is constantly contacting me telling me to get in touch with XXXX and XXXX to tell them to correct their credit reports. XXXX says I have no outstanding accounts with their company. How can I fix this if Experian refuses to give me the account number that they say I have outstanding debt on? I am an accountant. I have never been in debt or missed a payment in my entire life until I was injured. I can not pay off a debt that the company that issued the card says I do not have!

Mailed letters on XX/XX/2024 to dispute inaccuracies on my account and each time I was mailed a stall letter saying they fell someone else as sent my information. This is a direct violation of the FCRA. Additionally there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this complaint is a formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days not 30 more. I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.

On XX/XX/2023, I applied for a Sam 's Club membership online. On that same day I went to a Sam 's Club, located on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I purchased a laptop, which had {$120.00}, Additional Savings, from the original price of {$590.00}. A Sam 's Club employee ( name not visible ), retrieved the laptop from a locked cage. As that same employee was checking me out at a register, he told me if I applied for a Sam 's Club XXXX I would get an additional 6 % off the laptop. When I got the receipt, I noticed I didn't receive an additional 6 % off the laptop. At approximately XXXX I called the Sam 's Club customer service number : XXXX, and they transferred me to the XXXX  department. I was told there wasn't an additional 6 % off the laptop. It was a 1 % cash back on my second statement. I went back to the store to return the laptop, with the intention of buying it again but with a different credit card which will provide me with better benefits. Team leader : XXXX, was not able to do a return to the Sam 's Club XXXX for a credit. A supervisor, ( give me XXXX, as her name ), was also not able to do a return to give me a refund/credit on the Sam 's Club XXXX for a credit. XXXX got another employee who told me I will not be able to receive a refund credit until I get the physical credit card in the mail. I told her it's insane that I can buy something without the physical credit card but not be able to return and get a refund for it. At that point I did not want the laptop, nor did I want to hold on to it until the credit card arrived via the mail. The employees kept telling me I could not receive a refund ; I even had a CSR -customer service rep- on the phone with me, XXXX ( XXXX ). Finally, after such a lengthy time, approximately XXXX, the employee was able to do the return and credit/refund to the Sam 's Club XXXX. I lost the five dollars reward I was supposed to get for becoming a Sam 's Club member that day, because the five dollars was credited to the XXXX, which I no longer want. The acting supervisor told me I can call the XXXX department so they can mail me the five dollars. At that point I didn't even want to be a member of Sam 's Club. I requested a refund for the membership, which the team leader ; XXXX, was once again having a difficult time doing. I wasted my entire afternoon & evening in Sam 's Club. 

I also wasted time the following day on the phone XXXX with a XXXX. There is absolutely no phone customer service and/or a positive resolution, just a lot of ; 'I 'm sorry '. Calling early during the day made no difference, just another 64 minutes of my time wasted. 

On XX/XX/2023, I finally received the Sam 's Club XXXX, in the mail.

I am aware that you have been responding to many of the disputes, complaints, and challenges with pre-written standard form letters, despite the precise information consumers have provided. I am well aware that this is ILLEGAL ; as each consumer dispute must be addressed individually and dealt with in accordance with its particular merits.

My letters have written and generated using accessible software that is available to everyone. If you choose not to process or address my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i. And it is against the law to delay the processing of letters from consumers based on the assumption that assistance from a third party may be available. This does not qualify as a legal exception. I am the sole author of any letters bearing my name, or they have been written by my advisors with my complete knowledge and consent. I understand that there is no requirement for you to request a Power of Attorney in order to delay processing consumer letters. If you fail to process my letters promptly, I will consider it as a deliberate disregard for my consumer rights. In such a case, I will be compelled to contact my attorney and pursue legal action.

According to the FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( l ) and the accepted STANDARD of Metro 2 data fild reporting, I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is not correct. It is essential that all data included in a consumer 's file is properly documented and validated before it is made available for use by creditors. Therefore, I take this matter seriously. The allegations of delinquency and derogatory information against me are entirely false, I won't stand for any misinformation being associated with my name and fiancial history and I am determined to FIGHT back with ALL my strength! The accuracy of your credit report is crucial. The allegations listed do not meet the federal or state requirements for reporting and can not be substantiated. I challenge these claims due to their failure to comply with basic reporting standards, which would provide me with greater confidence in the accuracy of the information presented. It is your responsibility to maintain and report data with complete accuracy and compliance. You must not report any claims that you know do not meet regulatory requirements. It is crucial that we ensure all claims are accurate and reported in the appropriate format as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and reporting standards such as METRO 2.

Company: Nelnet, Inc. (TN)

I applied for the XXXX on a XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) repayment plan in XX/XX/XXXX. I received a notification from Nelnet on XX/XX/XXXX, that I was approved for a {$18.00} payment on the XXXX plan, which was initially to be due on XX/XX/XXXX. When I attempted to make a payment online before the due date, I noticed my account was in forbearance that I did not request. On my dashboard, it says I will be in XXXX XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. My biggest concern is that, since my account is in administrative forbearance, it is accruing monthly interest that far exceeds the {$18.00} monthly payment I am eligible for under the XXXX plan. Additionally, I received an email from Nelnet stating that this interest accruing during this unrequested forbearance will be added to the principal. I have tried calling and emailing Nelnet but it is impossible to get through to anyone. I and others in my position should not be subjected to the interest accrual during an administrative forbearance that was never requested in the first place.
