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.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against XXXX due to severe and unjustified negative credit reporting that has significantly impacted my financial standing. My credit report was recently updated to reflect over XXXX late payment entries from Aidvantage, which has caused my credit score to drop by over XXXX points. This action was taken without any prior notice, warning, or correspondenceI did not receive any emails, letters, or alerts informing me of this drastic change before it was reported to the credit bureaus. 

Additionally, I have become aware of an ongoing data breach involving student loan accounts, which raises serious concerns regarding unauthorized access to my personal and financial information raising concerns over a FERPA violation. Given this security lapse, I have reason to believe that my account records may have been compromised or altered without my consent. 

I am currently getting started on the process of purchasing a home and this has caused my hopes of getting a loan to be halted until this is remedied. This has caused extreme financial distress and this error in reporting needs to be remedied immediately. I did not authorize any changes to my account status, and I no longer feel comfortable having my student loans serviced and reported to the credit bureaus under these conditions. 

Violations and Consumer Protection Rights : XXXX. Failure to Provide Notice of Negative Credit Reporting - Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), loan servicers are required to provide accurate and fair reporting. I was not notified in advance that these accounts would be marked late, which denied me the opportunity to address any potential issues before they were reported. 

XXXX. Possible Unauthorized Reporting and Account Compromise Due to Data Breach - The reported data breach involving XXXX raises serious questions about the integrity of my loan accounts. If my data was exposed or manipulated, XXXX may have incorrectly or fraudulently reported late payments that I did not actually incur. 

XXXX. Failure to Properly Investigate and Verify Account Status - Given the security risks and errors in reporting, I request full verification and documentation proving the legitimacy of the late payments, including a detailed account history showing how and when they were marked late.

Company: Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is a continuation of the previous complaint filed, as I can not add more information to an existing complaint. 
RE : Complaint # XXXX Dear CFPB, I am submitting an update to my ongoing complaint against Bridgecrest regarding the inaccurate reporting of deferred car loan payments as late on my credit report. 

Bridgecrest recently contacted me by email, claiming they attempted to reach me by phone. However, I have no record of any missed calls on the date or time they specified. This is not the first time theyve claimed to contact me without any verifiable proofthis also occurred after I filed my previous CFPB complaint. When I returned their call using the number provided, the line did not offer voicemail or direct access to a representative, which makes it nearly impossible to establish communication or move forward. 

Additionally, I want to highlight that during my previous complaint ( which Bridgecrest closed without resolving the issue ), I had explicitly requested the call recordings or internal account notes from the time I was granted a deferment. Their response was that they do not maintain call recordings from that timedespite the fact that those records are crucial to verifying my claim and clearing the incorrect late payment marks from my credit file. 

I am attaching the following evidence to support this update : Screenshots of my phone log showing no missed calls on the claimed date A copy of the email from Bridgecrest stating they attempted to contact me A screenshot showing my returned call to their number, which offered no voicemail or support option I respectfully request the CFPB to hold Bridgecrest accountable for : Failing to maintain or provide essential documentation to verify their own actions Continuing to report inaccurately despite my efforts to correct the record Employing what appear to be delay tactics instead of working toward resolution This inaccurate credit reporting is directly and negatively affecting my ability to obtain a mortgage loan and is placing a serious personal and financial burden on me and my family. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if additional documentation is needed.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Credit Information Correction - Compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b and Other FCRA Provisions I am writing to you as the holder of account number [ Account Number ] for my [ credit card, auto loan, and/or mortgage ] to report an issue negatively impacting my credit report. This issue appears to be in violation of the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1666b and other relevant sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements, including all information required by section 1637 ( b ), at least 21 days before the payment due date. This requirement ensures that consumers have sufficient time to receive, review, and make necessary payments without being unfairly penalized for late payments.

Additionally, the FCRA, specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files.

I have identified that the statements for my [ credit card, auto loan, and/or mortgage ] have not been delivered in compliance with these requirements, resulting in the appearance of late payments on my credit report. This non-compliance has adversely affected my credit score.

Furthermore, I would like to refer to the Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ), which establishes that creditors must ensure timely delivery of statements to avoid unfair penalties to consumers.

I formally request that you investigate and correct any inaccurate information related to these late payments on my credit report. Below are the details of the affected payments : Date of reported late payment : [ Company - date ] XX/XX/year> I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter to rectify any errors in my credit report. I am willing to provide any additional documentation necessary for your investigation. 
I look forward to receiving written confirmation of the actions taken to correct this information and ensure compliance with the relevant regulations. 
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
