Company: DIGITAL FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (NC)

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Digital Federal Credit Union ( DCU ) for furnishing information to credit reporting agencies without my consent. I believe this action is in violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under 15 U.S.C. 6802 ( b ).

Recently, I discovered that DCU has furnished my personal and financial information to the credit reporting agencies without obtaining my consent. This unauthorized sharing of information has negatively impacted my credit report and privacy.

Relevant Law : 15 U.S.C. 6802 ( b ) : " Opt-out '' Requirements : This section of the FCRA requires financial institutions to provide customers with an opportunity to opt out of the sharing of their information with non-affiliated third parties. DCU did not provide me with this opportunity, nor did I give any consent for my information to be shared.

DCU has shared my personal and financial information with credit reporting agencies without my explicit consent, violating 15 U.S.C. 6802 ( b ).

Lack of Opt-Out Opportunity : I was not given the required opportunity to opt out of having my information shared with non-affiliated third parties.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I'm filing this report because I have been a victim of identity theft for a very long time. I have literally contacted every creditor regarding this matter because this issue has been taking place for a very long time. My personal information has been compromised from the first month that I arrived to the XXXX  XXXX. I arrived to the XXXX  at the state of XXXX  at the end of XX/XX/XXXX and ever since I lived in the state of XXXX. At XX/XX/XXXX, identity thieves used my personal information such as social security, name, date of birth and etc. to open multiple accounts with XXXX XXXX. Later, they used my information to open an auto lease using my personal information with XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX  to inform them of this fraudulent activity recently they told me there is a balance over {$8000.00} and it needs to be paid by me. I informed them that I never leased or bought a vehicle with XXXX because I can not afford a XXXX and that is the harsh reality. However, they still insist that the account is mine. I never signed any documents with XXXX and I never leased a vehicle with them because I know my financial capabilities and I can not afford a XXXX. XXXX is refusing to even conduct an investigation. This is an identity theft matter and XXXX representatives are taking this as a joke and not even complying with my request to remove this derogatory account from my records. If this is the case of an identity theft or case of mistaken identity it does not matter to me. I request that this vehicle loan is removed from my records because I never leased or bought a XXXX. I've been told the vehicle is a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: OneMain Finance Corporation (VA)

On XX/XX/2024 I discovered that I was being sued ( warrants of debt ) by XXXX XXXX XXXX for debt owed to One Main Financial. I was able to obtain this information by searching on the XXXX XXXX XXXX Information Website. On XX/XX/2024, I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX to verify the debt. I was told by representative that the information had already been sent out to my old address. I explained that I had moved and I would like to have verification of debt sent to me at my new address. The representative declined and began to push me to make a payment. I explained that I wouldn't make any payment arrangement until the debt was verifiable and asked what type of payment arrangements could be made to settle debt. The representative said that the court lawsuit would continue unless debt amount was paid in full before court date and payment arrangements wouldn't stop the court proceedings. I again asked to verify debt and the representative declined. I hung up the phone. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX has illegally tried to collect the debt by not properly notifying me of the debt and refusing to verify debt information. The company has also filed a lawsuit in secret regarding a unverified debt.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (HI)

Bank of America continues to willfully falsely report my mortgage as 90 days and 30 days late although I HAVE NEVER been late and this was verified by them and stated in the last resolution. YET the credit reporting department continues to verify the INCORRECT reporting as of XX/XX/XXXX causing me serious financial harm. At this point it would be considered malicious. I am given the information that it was corrected, yet when disputed it is falsely verified instead of corrected. 
My modified loan began XX/XX/XXXX and I made ALL PAYMENTS ON TIME. Never late, never over 30 days late. This is LEGALLY VERIFIABLE. In addition BofA misappropriated a payment to principal, their OWN error and yet reported as late. Wrongly reporting last payments as well. Legal action is being taken, this just further documents Bank of America 's willful wrong reporting. Damages accrue daily.

Product: Debt collection — Federal student loan debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: S & S Recovery, Inc. (TX)

I encountered massive communication issues concerning a debt issued to me by the University XXXX XXXX  at XXXX XXXX. I was charged for a class where I was directly informed by the professor that I was not registered for. My issue started when it appeared as though I had accidentally registered for a class and was having difficulty through the university 's website dropping said class. I immediately communicated with my advisor and asked her for assistance, which she astutely provided. She gave me instructions on how to drop the class and I followed her instructions in which I thought I was successful in accomplishing ( conversation attached ). Nevertheless, because I was new to the system I wanted to make sure that I had successfully dropped the class ; therefore, I contacted the professor through email. She told me that was not registered in either of her classes ( conversation attached ). Months passed and everything seemed to have been solved. I did not receive any calls, emails, voicemails, mail, or notifications concerning the matter. Suddenly, about ten months later, I received a letter in the mail saying I owed the university over XXXX dollars without specification as to what I was being charged for ( Note : I did not receive any notification from XXXX either ). I had no Idea if this was a legitimate letter considering the lack of detail and vagueness of the letter. I had to call the university to receive any information concerning my debt. That was when they told me it was about a class I had registered for and failed. I was shocked considering ten months had passed since I thought the issue had been solved. Afterward, I contacted the university through email asking where I could file a complaint and, again, I received no answer until a letter arrived weeks later with a link to this website ( conversation attached ). How is it fair for me to pay XXXX dollars for a class where there was zero indication of registration till ten months later and where I was directly told by the professor I was not registered for? Why should I suffer academically and financially for the university 's lack of communication?

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the collection accounts associated with my identity that are currently appearing on my credit report. The details of the disputed accounts are as follows : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Numbers : * Account number XXXX ... 
* Account number XXXX ... 
* Account number XXXX ... 
* Recent Balances : * {$560.00} as of XX/XX/2023 * {$450.00} as of XX/XX/2023 * {$1500.00} as of XX/XX/2023 * Date Opened : XX/XX/2023 * Status : Collection account. {$560.00}, {$450.00}, and {$1500.00} past due as of XX/XX/2023, respectively. 
I am contesting these collection accounts based on the grounds that my personal belongings, which included documents containing my identity, were unlawfully taken from my car. It is my understanding that under the provisions outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681c2, any information resulting from identity theft must be promptly blocked by the consumer reporting agency. 
Therefore, I formally request that these negative accounts, for which I have no affiliation or contractual agreement, be expeditiously removed from all three major credit bureaus. I want to emphasize that I have not authorized the inclusion of any information on my credit report that is unrelated to my financial history or identity. 
I believe that these collection accounts are in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates the removal of any information resulting from identity theft. I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter and the deletion of these accounts from my credit history. 
I expect a thorough investigation into this dispute and request that you provide me with written confirmation of the removal of these accounts from my credit report within the legally stipulated time frame. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that you will handle this dispute with the utmost care and professionalism. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any additional information or documentation to support my claim. 
In addition, I assert that the cease and desist process can be appropriately used to address credit report issues arising from identity theft. Section 611 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) explicitly grants consumers the right to challenge the completeness or accuracy of information within their credit files with consumer reporting agencies. Furthermore, Section 623 of the FCRA establishes potential liability for those who willfully fail to comply with its requirements, offering remedies that can include actual damages suffered as a result of such failures or statutory damages ranging from {$100.00} to {$1000.00}. This underscores the importance of a thorough and expedited resolution to my dispute.

I am reaching out to address a discrepancy regarding the reporting of my student loan account by XXXX. While XXXX itself reflects a balance of {$0.00}, this information has not been appropriately reported to the credit bureau. As a result, my credit reports continue to display an outstanding student loan balance. 

Despite successfully meeting all requirements of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) Program and having my loans forgiven, the failure to update my credit reports has led to ongoing confusion and potential repercussions for my credit score and financial standing. 

I urge the CFPB to investigate this matter and ensure that XXXX promptly updates its reporting to accurately reflect the forgiven status of my loans on all credit reports. It is crucial that this discrepancy be resolved to prevent any further negative impact on my credit profile. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
