Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA (NV)

When my loans were consolidated with MOHELA, I had a standard payment of {$180.00}. I applied for the SAVE repayment plan when applications opened on XX/XX/2023. MOHELA quoted a repayment price of about {$120.00}. When the application was processed, MOHELA did not process it for SAVE, which was indicated on the application, but instead processed it for Income Contingent Repayment. My new payment is now {$220.00}. The terms of Income-based Repayment from the Department of Education state that any income-driven repayment plan can not exceed the standard repayment rate. When I contacted MOHELA to have this resolved, I was informed that the original quoted repayment amount was " just an estimate, '' and that I would have to pay the new payment plan.

Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity.

Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate.

C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards.

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports.

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards.

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB XXXX FTC and my Attorney General.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NJ)

I am writing this complaint regarding the accounts and information that Transunion is reporting to my consumer report. After going over my report I noticed several accounts that are negatively impacting my credit score in which I have no knowledge of the creditors reporting this debt. Ive then mailed a letter to Transunion asking them to investigate these accounts in which they never gave me a response. I reached out to the creditors and asked them to verify any debt and send me all documentation that authorizes the accounts. I am aware that it is Transunion 's duty to properly investigate my consumer report and remove anything thats not accurate nor verifiable. If theyre reporting these accounts, why cant they be verified with proof of signatures? The creditors listed in my complaint never had the consent to report, which is a violation of my right to privacy. Also, purchasing and selling my personal information without my consent is fraud and violates my right to privacy. No account may report to my consumer report without my consent or validation. In this complaint I have a dispute letter with the inaccurate information that I would like Transunion to investigate and ensure the most accurate information possible is being reported.
