Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX  I called edfinancial to request that the overage I am paying every month on my student loan payments be put towards my principal and she said that is not possible and I am not able to choose where the money goes. I then tried to inquire about why my interest rates were so high and she told me I had unpaid interest. I asked if I could pay that off right now and she said no I am not able to just chose to pay off my unpaid interest and that interest will keep accruing interest for the life of the loan even though I am paying an overage every month.

Complaint narrative:
Payment Reporting Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) for their inconsistent and unresolved reporting of a late payment on my credit history, which I believe is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

In a response to my dispute, XXXX XXXX, Director of Compliance at XXXX, asserted that my loan was reported 30 days late in XX/XX/XXXX. However, this reporting is inconsistent across the XXXX major credit bureaus : XXXX reports a XXXX late payment in XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX reports XXXX XXXX late payment in XX/XX/XXXX, and Equifax reports a XXXX XXXX payment in XX/XX/XXXX. This discrepancy between XXXX 's statement and the credit bureau reports raises serious concerns about the accuracy and validity of their reporting. 

Despite my efforts to rectify this issue, including direct communication with XXXX and the credit bureaus, the erroneous reporting remains uncorrected, adversely affecting my credit score and potential financial opportunities. 

Enclosed are my payment records, the response from XXXX, and credit reports from XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax, evidencing the discrepancies and my attempts at rectification. 

I respectfully request the CFPB 's intervention to investigate this matter thoroughly. I seek the correction of my credit records to accurately reflect my payment history and any other appropriate remedial actions. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and a resolution to this ongoing issue.

Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ).

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion.

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors. 

In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion. 

I am also placing a FTC reference number- XXXX XXXXXXXX so that you can verify the inaccuracy of fraud that is placed on my credit report. 

Now based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation. 

Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Urgent Demand for Investigation and Resolution of Fraudulent Accounts and Inaccurate Credit Reporting To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to you as a victim of identity theft and a distressed consumer who has encountered significant barriers due to the negligence and noncompliance of your organization with federal consumer protection laws. Despite my diligent efforts and the clear provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 605B, the fraudulent accounts opened in my name have not been addressed appropriately, causing substantial harm, including the inability to secure housing for my newborn daughter and me. 
As previously communicated in my letters sent to your company dated XX/XX/year>, accompanied by a comprehensive identity theft report, a detailed list of the fraudulent accounts, and a signed affidavit, these accounts were opened without my authorization. The documentation provided should have sufficed to initiate an immediate investigation and removal of these erroneous entries from my credit reports as mandated by the FCRA. 
However, it has been nearly a year since my initial report, and the lack of action from your side is not only disappointing but also in direct violation of consumer protection statutes. The persistent inaccuracy in my credit reports has unjustly tarnished my financial reputation, causing undue stress, barriers to essential services such as housing, and jeopardizing the well-being of my family.
