Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Lack of Specificity in Interest Calculation Responses I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the responses I have received to my inquiries regarding the calculation of interest on my student loan account XXXX. Despite multiple attempts to seek clarification, including through complaints filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I have only received generic and unhelpful replies.

2. I lack documentation explaining how my interest accrues, including applicable rates, compounding methods, and contributing factors such as adjustments or fees.

2. Copies of any relevant loan documentation, including the original terms and conditions, that explain how interest is calculated on this loan.

Failure to Adequately Respond : If I do not receive a satisfactory resolution to this matter, I will escalate my complaint further, including filing a formal dispute with the Department of Education ( if applicable ) and contacting my state attorney general 's office.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NV

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
