Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I walked into a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, on the afternoon of XX/XX/XXXX. I saw a young man setting up a table, appearing to be fundraising. Wanting to be generous, I approached him, and he explained that he was raising money for his church group and college fund. We spoke briefly, and I agreed to donate {$15.00} using my credit card. He had a card reader, and I tapped my card. He quickly packed up and left right after the transaction, which felt unusual. 

I checked my Discover account immediately and saw a pending charge of {$2000.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Realizing I had been scammed, I called Discover right away to report it. I canceled my card and asked what I should do. Discover advised me to start a fraud investigation, which I did. 

A few months later, Discover called to inform me that my fraud claim was denied because I had tapped my card. They then advised me to file a billing dispute instead, since I had intended to authorize only {$15.00}, not {$2000.00}. I followed their instructions again. 

Recently, when I called for an update, Discover informed me they could not help because I did not have a receipt or documentation proving the charge should have been {$15.00}. The scam happened so fast that I did not think to request a receipt, and the scammer did not offer XXXX. I also learned that filing this as a fraud claim first made it harder to resolve later, even though I followed Discovers initial guidance. 

I feel like I was misled throughout this process, which delayed any chance of recovering my money. As a long-time Discover customer who has always paid on time, I trusted them to protect me. Instead, I was given conflicting advice and ultimately left without recourse, while a scammer got away with my money. I would appreciate any assistance in resolving this situation and recovering at least some of the lost funds. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1666a, if a debt is charged off, that means the original creditor has written it off for tax purposes. If they sell it to a third party, you no longer owes it- because you had no contract with the new collector.

Complaint narrative:
" I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. 

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I called Nelnet to work out a payment arrangement. Their website was trying to give me a deferral and I didn't need a deferral, I could payt but needed the payment reduced some. Upon speaking with a Nelnet representative, I was informed that unless I paid the full OVERALL past-due amount, my credit report would not reflect an updated payment status. I have a recorded call where your representative explicitly stated this. However, I find it misleading and unfair that seven ( 7 ) accounts are reported as delinquent when they are managed under one ( 1 ) account on Nelnets website, which reflects ONE FULL PAST DUE balance due. If the website give your balance due - if you are reporting 7 individual accounts, I should get to see 7 past due accounts on your website and should be able to pay however many I am able to. 
The impact of reporting all XXXX ( XXXX ) accounts as XXXX days late has severely damaged my XXXX XXXX, dropping it by XXXX points. This reporting practice does not seem ethical, and the collection practices are giving deceptive. Especially considering I was not given the option to pay the accounts individually to prevent multiple late marks. I have been actively making efforts to pay and did not require a defermentonly a payment adjustment. 

Given these circumstances, I urge you to reconsider and correct the reporting of these accounts to reflect a more accurate and fair assessment of my creditworthiness. I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and a written response confirming the resolution. 
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.
