Complaint narrative:
Attached documents show contradictory explanations for unverifiable/inaccurate information for my XXXX ( XXXX ) student loan accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX It is clear that XXXX has no intention of correcting the erroneous information and has sought instead to delay and dance around their responsibilities as a data-furnisher under 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. Under the doctrine of contributory negligence, XXXX is marking these accounts as CO because they failed to provide timely information for the accounts as required under TILARegulation Z and failed to conduct themselves under section E.1 ( b ) of the MPN ( p. 16 ). They do not even deny stopping statement generation ( ie. no paper statements and no electronic statements ). However their justifications vary grealy from changing an alleged status from " deferment '' to " forbearance '' to get around the provisions of XXXX ( b ) of the MPN, claiming XXXX knowledge of my XXXX and my alleged failure to request copies of my statements as a reasonable accommodation under XXXX for documents and access to electronic documents TILA/ XXXX XXXX and 12 U.S.C. 5533 make clear XXXX is required to provide to EVERY consumer. Their latest reasoning ( p. XXXX ) for these violations of law is allegedly due to returned mail from my address the CRAs can verify I continued to reside well after te alleged returned mail. Moreover, their latest reasoning claims they only began generating statements again once I " confirmed my mailing '' address. Not only is this non-sensical, but their own statement from XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ( p. XXXX ) makes clear that they allegedly had XXXX ( XXXX ) contact with me between XXXX XX/XX/XXXX through XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. It is based upon this justification XXXX purports the derogatory information furnished to the CRAs is " valid '' The full scope of the erroneous/contradictory/unverifiable information is attached. If XXXX is supply responses to the CFPB that contradict its prior responses for issues that should have been resolved within the past XXXX ( XXXX ) years, then it is clear they are not verifying the accuracy/integrity of the data they are supply for these accounts in my credit files. At least XXXX ( XXXX ) of the CRAs has reached the same conclusion and removed the derogatory information from my credit files. XXXX claims ignorance and has sought to blame the CRAs for the inconsistencies. All of the erroneous information needs to go.

Complaint narrative:
I met a boat mechanic on XXXX XXXX After meeting with him he said I needed a transmission and engine {$860.00} and {$1500.00}. He gave me a check to deposit claiming he needed the money to start and it would be cleared when his company paid him for a commission. The check was for {$3800.00}. I was skeptical but the check cleared XXXX in the morning. So I thought it was good and he asked me to XXXX {$2500.00} to his partner for assistance and I withdrew the other {$1300.00} and gave to him to pay for the labor. In the afternoon I checked my account and it was negative the {$3800.00}. The check bounced on a closed account. So I tried to contact him and have had no success.

Complaint narrative:
I have several different credit cards with Comenity. EVERY TIME I try to pay online on any of the accounts it will not let me sign in. It used to work fine then recently it started telling me my user name or password was wrong. I tried changing it and still got the error. Its only my comenity accounts. XXXX says lots of users are experiencing this but they havent fixed it in over a year. This is how I make my payments so it causes me to be late because I have to actually call and input all the information to make a payment and its very inconvenient. There is some sort of glitch in their system that they need to fix and theyre making money from late fees off of this glitch. This is not right! I should be able to easily log on and make my payments.
