On XX/XX/2022 I applied for Financing at XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, TX. I stated that I only wanted to apply for financing through XXXX. They came back and said that I was denied. I told them thank you and they offered to check other options for me. I told them again, I was only interested in XXXX XXXX, and if they were applying through any other banks, I wasnt interested, I DID NOT WANT THEM TO RUN MY CREDIT AGAIN. I made myself very clear. The salesman then said he would go back and speak with XXXX XXXX  to see if there was something he could do. He came back and said that he had checked with XXXX  XXXX and they had also denied me. I asked them had they run my credit through XXXX XXXX? They replied no. The next day I began receiving alerts from my XXXX and XXXX credit accounts. Letting me know that multiple financial institutions have been running my credit that previous day. When I contacted XXXX and spoke to the finance manager, he found out from the salesman that he had indeed ran my credit again multiple times through those other financial institutions. After I had asked him, explicitly not to, and he had agreed. He ( finance manager ) then told me to contact the credit agencies to have them remove the inquiries from those other institutions, and that if there were any questions, he would acknowledge that they ran my credit without my permission. This has been since XXXX and I can not get XXXX or XXXX to remove the inquiries.

When I reviewed my credit report, I discovered that some of the information was erroneous. The 3 credit bureaus must validate these items in line with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ).

On XXXX I sent a letter to Key Bank at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX explaining there never was a late payment. Even as the minimum payment varied Example { Min payment due XX/XX/2022 was {$47.00} ) the month prior it was {$48.00}. now all of a sudden the min payment was accelerated to {$120.00} due in XX/XX/2022 there was no explanation as to why. Now they have revoked the use of my card and reported me delinquent to the credit rating agency. Thus effecting my credit score. Today I telephoned to see if they had received my letter and was told they had not. I believe this is fraud perpetrated against seniors.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I have made multiple attempts to address the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries, which do not belong to me and for which I hold no responsibility, have caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I am left with no choice but to consider legal action if this complaint is not handled appropriately. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have prevented me from purchasing my dream house and meeting the needs of my family. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) outlining this issue and seeking resolution.

Company: MOHELA (MO)

MOHELA, my private student loan servicer, has presented one problem after another since the beginning of our financial relationship approximately fifteen years ago. Most recently, and most problematic, ( after many hours spent on hold trying to reach someone ) I had a conversation with a MOHELA representative on XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX at which time an agreement was made to remove all prior late payments reported to the credit agencies as it was the major factor in my troubles attaining a mortgage. I asked to receive this information via mail since I'd experienced so many problems with them in the past. No letter was ever received and the stated information has not been removed from my credit report. In frustration, I then disputed the account information with the credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ). MOHELA responded with a denial after 25+ hours on the phone and multiple assurances the information would be amended. 
At this point, I am beyond upset with the service I have received from them over the years. The above is one example of multiple inaccuracies I have encountered with them over the years. When I call to check in on the process, I'm told no record of such phone calls even exist. They have been the cause of many tears and setbacks in my life and I feel I have nowhere else to turn.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction bynthe consumer. I submtted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information was affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX date breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

I am writing to dispute the accuracy of the information on my credit reports provided by XXXX, Experian, and XXXX. After reviewing the reports, I have identified several inconsistencies that I believe require immediate attention and correction. I kindly request that you investigate and rectify the inaccuracies in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Account Details : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX Account Type : Installment Account Type - Detail : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Individual Account Status : Paid Monthly Payment : {$0.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$0.00} No. of Months ( terms ) : XXXX High Credit : {$12.00} Credit Limit : {$0.00} Past Due : {$0.00} Payment Status : Late 120 Days Last Reported : XX/XX/XXXX Date Last Active : XX/XX/XXXX Date of Last Payment : XX/XX/XXXX Inaccuracies and Potential FCRA Violations : FCRA Section 605 ( a ) ( 2 ) - Reporting Accurate High Credit Amount : The reported " High Credit '' of {$12.00} is inaccurate for an account with a " No. of Months ( terms ) '' of 12.

This may be a violation of FCRA Section 605 ( a ) ( 2 ), which requires credit reporting agencies to provide accurate information, including the highest amount ever charged to the account. FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) - Reporting Accurate Account Status : The account is reported as " Late 120 Days '' by Experian, but there is no information from XXXX or XXXX regarding the account status. This inconsistency may violate FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ), which requires accurate and complete reporting of account status.

FCRA Section 605 ( a ) ( 5 ) - Reporting Accurate Payment History : The reported " Payment Status '' as " Late 120 Days '' is not consistent with the " Date of Last Payment '' reported as " XXXX  '' This discrepancy may be a violation of FCRA Section 605 ( a ) ( 5 ), which mandates accurate and complete reporting of consumers ' payment history. 

I request that you conduct a thorough investigation into these discrepancies and take the necessary actions to remove the inaccuracies from my credit reports. As per the FCRA, please provide me with written confirmation of the corrections made. 

Enclosed with this letter are copies of supporting documents that validate my claims. I trust that XXXX, Experian, and XXXX will fulfill their obligations under the FCRA to ensure accurate and fair reporting of consumer credit information. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I anticipate a swift resolution and the removal of the inaccuracies from my credit reports. 

Sincerely,
