Again, I was a victim of identity theft and this is another request to remove the information from my credit file resulting from alleged identity theft. Per FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) CREDIT BUREAUS are required to remove any items not later than 4 business days after the receipt. Also, the information provided on some items are UNKNOWN to me and REMOVED from other bureaus and I have doubts about their accuracy.

My loan was sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX  at approx. the end of XXXX. My loan stated I did not make the first payment on XX/XX/XXXX which I did to the previous loan holder XXXX XXXX. Numerous attempts to correct the payment discrepancy went unfix by XXXX XXXX. Only until threating a lawsuit did loan care state they would investigate. My credit was hurt by false reporting of XXXX delinquent payment when I provided proof of payment through my bank statement and XXXX XXXX documents. I have not been able to apply for any loan due to my credit score dropping 100+ points along with my mothers credit score. I was still in the 60 day reprieve window for a loan being sold and protected under RESPA. Loan care violated federal law.

I have federal student loans owned by the US Dept of Education and managed by XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, Congress passed the CARES act providing for a temporary forbearance on federally-owned student loans ( the " pandemic pause '' ). As of today, no payments are owed until XX/XX/XXXX -- the date payments resume. 

Although no payments had been owing and due under the CARES Act, I had made some payments on my student loans during the pandemic pause. The CARES Act allowed borrowers to request refunds of any student loan payments during the pandemic pause Pursuant to the CARES act, I requested such refund. Particularly, since President Joe Biden had issued an Executive Order forgiving up to {$10000.00} of federally-owned student loan debt. 

In or around XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX marked me as having been late on 63 payments. However, no payments had been due given the CARES act. My credit score dropped over XXXX points due to falsely reporting of delinquency. Upon discovery, in XX/XX/XXXX, I immediately contacted XXXX and disputed the false reporting of delinquency given the CARES act. XXXX responded that they are marking all such accounts as delinquent as they " wait to see if this thing survives the courts ''. XXXX misunderstands the difference between the CARES Act ( which postponed payments due to the pandemic ) and Joe Biden 's student loan forgiveness program ( which purports to forgive student loan debt ). Even if Joe Biden 's student loan forgiveness were to somehow be struck by the Courts, the CARES Act is an act of Congress that postponed student loan payments. As such, I could not be delinquent on 63 payments that had not been owing and due until XX/XX/XXXX. 

In addition, XXXX 's conduct is contrary to other federal student loan services. My wife 's federal student loans are managed by XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX did not mark her accounts as delinquent ( presumably because XXXX XXXX  understood and complied with the CARES act ). 

I contacted XXXX and requested that the false reporting of delinquency be immediately corrected. XXXX refused. XXXX stated, to the effect, they did not care as they had been ending their contract with the Department of Education as of XX/XX/XXXX. 

Setting aside that no payments were owed, I received no documents from XXXX addressing the alleged delinquency. If I had actually missed payments, I would have expected to recieve a letter regarding the missed payments. I suspect XXXX issued no written correspondence because they know no payments were owing and due, consistent with the CARES Act over the past two years.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

My complaint ( this time ) is with myEquifax. I'm getting extremely tired of doing this!! 

The biggest scam going on in the credit reporting market is how all these companies operate. I'm not paying for their services if all I receive is a summary and a score. They completely " play us for fools '' by hiding information, information that needs to readdressed by XXXX on what we should be entitled to! Who knows ... this might be changing yearly by financiers. And XXXX, a XXXX XXXX service, needs access to our phones for simply log-in purposes. 

Reporting is not monitoring and this needs to come down hard on all the three major credit bureaus. Inquiries run rampant as far as I'm concerned, and bills go unpaid to their pleasure!! Something needs to get done drastically.

... And all I'm simply looking to do is to see what my Debt to Credit ratio is!!!!

Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (TX)

In XX/XX/2022, we used a Lowes credit card ( issued by Synchrony Bank ) to purchase several items. Two items totaled {$1600.00} ( and were interest-free for a specified period ) ; the other two totaled {$150.00} ( and were subject to interest ). 

The following week, and before receiving our first statement, we purchased several more items ( all of which were interest-free for a specified period ). We made one additional purchase ( XX/XX/XXXX ) for {$390.00}. 

On XX/XX/2022, we received our first statement and paid {$350.00}. Without notifying us, Synchrony allocated 100 % of the payment to the interest-free purchases. On XX/XX/XXXX, we paid {$390.00} ( to pay off the interest-bearing items ). Again without notifying us, Synchrony allocated 100 % of the payment to the interest-free purchases. 

We continued to make monthly payments by the due dates for XXXX and XXXX, each for {$320.00}. Because the interest-free purchases were subject to various durations ( e.g., XXXX mos., XXXX mos. & XXXX mos. ), we called Synchrony yesterday ( Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX ) to confirm our understanding was correct. 

That is when we ( my husband and I ) learned that Synchrony had applied 100 % of our payments to the XXXX  interest items, and none to the other purchases. In fact, Synchrony said that, unless we paid ANOTHER {$430.00}, which together the payments we had already made ( {$1300.00} ) approximately doubled the total of the purchases subject to interest ( {$540.00} ), or it would continue to charge interest. 

Synchrony has refused to reverse any of the interest charges ( total {$58.00} ) because, it " said that is how it's system is designed '' to process payments.

According to the FRCA the term investigate consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have acknowledge concerning any such items of information. 

They stated my account were verified but how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law. Also every piece of information on this account is still not reporting 100 % accurate. And according to the FRCA 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % accurate.

I purchased eight fake XXXX XXXX  on XXXX at XX/XX/2019. The seller sold fake XXXX XXXX  without any explicit labels such as " restrike ''. He sold them at the similar price of genuine ones. I paid the seller over XXXX USD in total by my Capital One credit card for few times.

I reached the XXXX and the seller to solve this issue for few time in the last few months, XXXX said my purchases are over the time window which they can involve for the refunding process. I also tried very hard to convince the seller to refund me even for partial refund, but the seller never collaborated. I also called my credit card company for assistance, the credit card company said they are not covering for the fraud business. Now all the loss still comes to my end. This is a very unfair and frustrating situation.
