Complaint narrative:
My Equifax account can not be accessed. I repeatedly ( for several weeks now ) get the same error message stating they are temporarily unable to process this request. Please try again later. I have tried many times. I have called Equifax 3 times. Twice I was literally hung up on by their automated service. Once I was able to speak to someone that barely spoke English. She had said I would receive a code by email to reset my account. That did not happen. I do not know how to get my account back. Considering our household has been the victims of financial fraud twice in the last 12 months, it is importatnt to be able to monitor our credit reports. I do have access to XXXX and XXXX without any problems.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan — Installment loan
Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan — 
Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Concerns Regarding Retail Installment Contract as a Negotiable Instrument Dear Credit Acceptance, I am writing to address several concerns related to my retail installment contract, which operates as a negotiable instrument under our agreement. 

A negotiable instrument is a document guaranteeing payment of a specific amount of money, either on demand or at a set time, and can be transferred from one party to another. When XXXX sold this contract to Credit Acceptance, the contract effectively transformed into a negotiable instrument. This process of 'negotiating ' the contract allowed Credit Acceptance to become the new holder of this instrument. 

However, I have several concerns about potential violations of the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ) and the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) in the processes and agreements related to this contract. 

Firstly, I believe there may have been a violation of UCC 1-201 ( 20 ), which requires full and accurate disclosure of contract terms. XXXX, as the original seller, did not provide complete and truthful disclosure of the contract and financial agreement terms. Furthermore, I was unduly coerced into paying a down payment under conditions not uniformly applied to other customers, potentially contravening XXXX XXXX that deals with unconscionable contracts. 

In regards to XXXX, its key purpose is to ensure the informed use of consumer credit by requiring disclosures about its terms and cost. If full disclosure was not provided, as appears to be the case, this could constitute a breach of XXXX. 

Moreover, I have experienced issues with Credit Acceptance, including coercive practices related to recurring payments and issues with the enforcement of the arbitration clause. My vehicle was repossessed from my private property without peaceable means, potentially breaching XXXX XXXX which outlines the secured party 's right to take possession after default. 

Concerningly, if Credit Acceptance is not licensed or registered in any U.S. state, it could potentially be in violation of state-specific financial regulations and licensing requirements, which vary from state to state. 

Considering these potential breaches and their impact on me, both financially and emotionally, I believe I am entitled to remediation under XXXX and XXXX regulations. 

I request a thorough investigation into these matters and expect appropriate remedies to be provided. I retain all rights under state and federal law to pursue this matter further if satisfactory resolution is not reached. 

Best Regards, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Need information about your loan balance or loan terms
Company: MOHELA
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have been part of the XXXX program for more than ten years. On XX/XX/ Mohela sent me a letter that stated I have met the 120 payment requirement to receive forgiveness. I agree. It has now been more than 120 days and I have not received the forgiveness and nobody in customer service has a clue on what the status is, where it is at in the process, or how long it will be until it is processed. This is completely unacceptable in the finance world. This impacts my credit and my financial health and well-being. The website and customer service team will tell you 30-90 days so I continued to be patient and wait. This is unreasonable and I want an immediate update on the status and most importantly for the loan to be discharged as it should be according to the program terms.

Complaint narrative:
I am feeling deeply distressed, extremely disappointed, and unwell due to the inaccurate information you provided to the credit bureau regarding the late payments on my consumer reports. This misinformation is damaging my reputation and has a detrimental effect on my health. Late payments, as you know, should not be included in a consumer credit report, as it is against the law. These inaccuracies regarding late payments are a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and I insist that you take immediate action to remove them from my credit report.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.
