Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX, XXXX XXXX Equifax is reporting this information. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been validated, lets be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX, XXXX, Equifax and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer report are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211. Application For Award Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entitiesinvolved.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Starting in XXXX of 2023, I requested that all of my creditors switch my auto payments to minimum payments only, until further notice. 

All of them proceeded to switch me to minimum payment only, except for Barclays, which continued to try to debit my bank account for the full statement balance month over month. When I realized this was happening, I again requested that I be switched to auto minimum payments only, which they confirmed verbally, yet continued to attempt to withdraw from my bank account the full statement balance. 

As I did not have sufficient funds to cover the full statement balance ( which was the reason I requested to switch to minimum payments only ), they reported me as 30 days late in XX/XX/2023, which would not have occurred had they simply switched me to auto minimum payments only, as requested on multiple occasions. Even after they reported me 30 days late, and I had another conversation with Barclays regarding how I should have been on auto minimum payments only as requested and needed to confirm I would be moving forward, they continued to keep my status at full statement balance for auto payments. ( You'll see this evidenced in the XX/XX/XXXX last statement that I'm uploading, along with the others starting XXXX of 2023. You'll see on the statements, it was an error in their accounting system as their system was reporting that it had taken the full statement balance from my bank account, which it had not, so the following month would pull a lesser amount, which made it very difficult to track or understand what was occurring/what the issue was. I only received one phone call from Barclays during that 6 month period from XXXX and that wasn't until my account was already showing 30 days delinquent ) I've had perfect credit for many years and I consider this predatory as it's resulted in a severe drop in my credit score. I dispute this reporting by Barclays due to their neglect on my account and request that this 30 day late is removed from my credit report ASAP.

Complaint narrative:
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 XXXX, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards. 

Also as stated in the XXXX 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 , FTC and my Attorney General.

Company: MOHELA
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, MOHELA sent me a letter stating that I was required to recertify my income based repayment or my payment would jump to over {$2000.00} a month beginning in XX/XX/XXXX. I recertified my employment based on the information they provided in the XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  letter, and they recalculated my payment. The letter they sent me dated XX/XX/XXXX, states at the bottom that I was not required to recertify my income for my XXXX  if it fell within 6 months of the payment restart date, which occurred on XX/XX/XXXX, so any recertification required on or before XX/XX/XXXX, would be pushed out a year. MOHELA failed to include that last part in the XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  letter. Thus, I feel MOHELA forced me to recertify my income for my XXXX when it was not required, and the result is my payment is now {$390.00} instead of {$310.00}, which is a difference of {$940.00} a year. I am trying to get MOHELA and the Department of Education to reset my payment to {$310.00} since I feel I was defrauded my MOHELA and scammed into recertifying my income, which I was not required to do at the time they sent the XX/XX/XXXX, letter, and this resulted in a higher monthly payment. Communication with MOHELA is taking weeks to get a response, so I have no idea if or when they will resolve this and that is why I am filing this complaint. The letter sent to me by MOHELA are attached.
