Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and XXXX Missouri Laws Dear SYNCB/GAP, I am writing to address a significant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and XXXX Missouri laws, specifically XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. 

It has come to my attention that SYNCB/GAP has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that consumer consent is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 

In addition to federal law, XXXX Missouri laws, particularly XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, underscore the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for SYNCB/GAP to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, potentially damaging my creditworthiness and demonstrating a disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with utmost certainty, that SYNCB/GAP immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and XXXX Missouri laws . Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws. 

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and XXXX Missouri laws. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that SYNCB/GAP will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith, XXXX XXXX XXXX

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

Complaint narrative:
First and foremost, let me start by saying I was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX until XXXX after retiring. I was in a student loan paying period with XXXX. I was told numerous times that my student loans would be forgiven but that never happened. As time went on and my payments were being made, I was put into forbearance several times due to unmanageable amounts. Eventually XXXX had a class action lawsuit applied to their corrupt business and I was told that my student loans would be transferred to another student loan company. During my employment with the XXXX I believe that my payments should have been counted for the 10 years to satisfy forgiveness. I ended up with another loan company by the name of Mohela. When I was affiliated with Mohela I was told they didn't have any information regarding my PSLF and that I needed to submit the form. I can not understand as to why my information was lost by XXXX. I then submitted the proper form so that Mohela could use, and they told me that they never received it. While mohela does have something to indicate my PSLF I believe that they have not been transparent to my situation and that I am now put into a category where I have to start from the bottom for the 120 payments and the 10 years of XXXX XXXX My dates of employment with the XXXX should qualify me for the 10 years of continuous government employment. I have just now today been transferred once again now to Federal Student Aid which is now a third place for my payments to go to.

Issue: Unauthorized withdrawals or charges — 
Company: ClearOne Advantage, LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I signed up with Clear One Advantage in XXXX for a debt settlement. A settlement agreement with the lender was reached and I have been paying bi-weekly to Clear One ever since including Clear One 's fees which were never expressly stated. I increased my bi-weekly drafts to finish the program and based on what my assigned specialist told me in XX/XX/XXXX, my last draft was submitted in XX/XX/XXXX. Prior to this, phone representatives could never give me an accurate payoff amount ( this includes the " specialist '' ) and it would go up and down based on the representative. At one point I was told the company was due to return {$12000.00} to me. 

On XX/XX/XXXX a draft was withdrawn. I had been expressly told that these would cease after XX/XX/XXXX. In sum, the company provides inaccurate information if not commits outright fraud. It is unclear when ( if ever ) I will get out of this and at what cost. Please provide assistance.
