Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
In 2022, i filed XXXX XXXX XXXX Student loans are generally not discharged, 99 % of the time. There are expections and its up to the court. In this case after my attorney argued that i should be permitted a discharge on all loans, the federal government actually stipulated in a mutually agreed resolution that I qualify for the discharge and the debt is gone. The ruling was final early XX/XX/XXXX and yet im still dealing with both fasfa and the current collector whoever the XXXX that is today might have changed twice, im still trying to get acknowledgment and the relief that the federal government agreed and that a us bankruptcy court judge ordered nearly 2 years ago. And everyday my credit and suffered because of this everyday i deal with harrying collector calls everyday i deal with this and im done be polite about. It its not fixed, and i know im heated and you have done nothing i mean no ill temper towards you, im just going to contact the attorney who got it discharged and hope that he can help based on some reduced fee or hopefully contingency agreement. Because the amount of economic damage and emotional stress this has caused has been immeasurable. But thats what courts and attorneys do, and im sure they will figure out a number. I filed a complaint almost 3 months ago with fasfa and have to hear back, I provided them copies of the court ordered dismissal and the fed and my stipulated agreement and settlement, i gave them all this. I should not have to do this, i but ok, theyre dragging their feet, i will do it. Still nothing. Not even a response to my complaint let alone any movement on the subtstanive matter of clearing my name, debt and credit. 
Please help NOTE : Please send this info to both the federal student aid AND the current servicer Default Resolution GroupXXXX XXXX XXXX

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX To Whom It May Concern, Subject : Inaccurate Credit Reporting Request for Immediate Deletion ( 15 USC 1681s-2 ) I am writing to formally notify you of an ongoing issue regarding inaccurate information reported by your company to the credit bureaus, which violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As a furnisher of credit information, it is your legal responsibility to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data provided. 
The specific account in question is as follows : Account Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] Current Reported Balance : [ {$5400.00} ] It is my understanding that this debt was charged off by your company, and I have reason to believe that a Form 1099-C was issued, which memorializes the cancellation of this debt. According to IRS guidelines, a debt cancellation through a Form 1099-C should no longer reflect as a balance on my consumer credit report. The continued reporting of this balance is therefore inaccurate and misleading.

This inaccuracy constitutes a clear violation of the FCRA, as you are required to report only truthful and accurate information. With full knowledge of this error, you are obligated to correct it immediately. 
To rectify this matter, I request that you provide me with the following : 1. A return of the time and form prescribed by regulation or the Secretary, including : o My name o My address o My Tax Identification Number ( TIN ) o The date and amount of the discharged/charged-off debt o Any other relevant information as required by the Secretary If you are unable to provide the requested documentation and proof, I demand that this account be removed from my credit report in its entirety. Failure to comply with this request may result in legal action, as I will not hesitate to engage retained counsel to protect my rights under the FCRA.

Please respond promptly and confirm the actions taken to correct this issue. All correspondence related to this matter should be sent to the address listed above.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt and favorable resolution.

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), I request that you complete this investigation and inform me of the results within 30 days. If the information can not be verified, I request that it be promptly corrected or removed from my credit report.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter from Wells Fargo dated XX/XX/XXXX, which after reading it indicated that Wells Fargo Bank has provided false and defamatory information to me as a consumer which calls for a third party financial auditor and Office of Public Affairs to investigate this issue. The auditor would confirm that in fact one of its Banks employees secretly opened accounts using my business and personal information, and was in turn fired for his action. Moreover, a fair and honest assessment of consumer damages must be discussed in order to cover damages, caused to my business and me personally. 

Previous Correspondence : Wells Fargo state that " We hold all of our employees to the highest possible standards of ethics and business conduct and expect them to comply with all applicable laws, rules, and business regulations. '' However, the original complaint concerning breach of the business account came in XXXX whereby the employee was terminated, but Wells Fargo to date have not investigated financial hardship of the damage to the business credit from the breach not sought to contact the company concerning the matter. The employee who assisted with opening the business checking account at the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX branch location. Records must show the circumstances of the breach of the account and the actions taken. If not this is another violation that should be thoroughly investigated for accuracy and other violations. 


Incorrect : Our Firm does not and have not opened a Business Market Rate Savings account ending in XXXX opened on XX/XX/XXXX, and closed on XX/XX/XXXX, due to no customer-initiated activity for 60-180 days. 

Wells Fargo should acknowledge and revisit the employee 's breach of the business account back in XXXX, and seek to make the company hole from the damage of business stability for function financially from the damage of actions of that employee who was terminated because of the unauthorized breach of the business account in addition to the aftermaths of pre-mature overdraft protection charges stemming from such damages to date.. 

This is a continuing issue by Wells Fargo stemming from XX/XX/XXXX, perhaps the company 's most notorious scandal, Wells Fargo employees were caught creating millions of savings and checking accounts for customers without their knowledge or approval after being pushed by their superiors to cross-sell products.
