Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Ever since my payments to the loan provider XXXX were suppose to begin the repayment plan I have not been able to successfully pay my loans except for XXXX payments ; XXXX at the end of XXXX and XXXX in the beginning of XXXX. The successful payments I made were from my personal bank account, however since then I have switched the payment information to my other checking account which holds my college funds. My current account has more than enough funding to cover the payments so payment return due to insufficient funding is not an option, I am also named on the account so my billing and account information match up to prevent any potential identity issues of who is paying the loan. In the times I have talked to a customer service agent they removed my autopay and told me to reset it up just incase there was a system error which did not fix the problem. I questioned them on how I was receiving past due notices on my accounts if there were payment history transactions to my loans. They told me it could be because not all the loans were being paid, however, when I went to go add loans to my auto payment there were no other loans to add because they were not in repayment. When I look at my loan account summary it shows monthly day dates and amounts but when I look at my account payment history I have only had XXXX successful payments : XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX for {$240.00} XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX for another {$240.00} XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX for {$1500.00}. My repayment trouble began the beginning of XXXX when there was no payment posted or needed to be made and then beginning XXXX of XXXX a combined payment was posted for the XXXX month and a past due amount from XXXX. After I made the XXXX payment is when my repayment issues substantially increased. From XX/XX/XXXX until XXXX XXXX I have XXXX reflection in my loan summary and account history, for XXXX almost XXXX consecutive months I have nothing but pretend payments being posted and returned to me. They do not even reflect in my personal bank account transactions on XXXX of money being pulled out and returned. This is incredible unprofessional and extremely frustrating and I would just like help on resolving this issue and repaying my loans successfully.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to request immediate intervention due to serious violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) by EQUIFAX. Despite previous requests for correction, these violations continue to negatively impact my credit report and financial standing. 
Details of the Complaint : 1. Failure to Ensure Maximum Possible Accuracy The FCRA requires that credit bureaus and creditors ensure the accuracy of the information they report. My credit report contains inaccurate entries from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. that remain unverified despite formal disputes, causing significant harm to my credit score and credibility. Previous attempts to address these inaccuracies have been inadequately handled, demonstrating a failure to uphold FCRA standards for accuracy. 
2. Inadequate Investigation and Reliance on Automated Verification Systems Under FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) and 1681s-2, creditors and credit bureaus must conduct thorough investigations of disputed information. However, my previous disputes have been met with automated responses through systems like e-OSCAR, which fail to meet legal requirements for a complete investigation. This approach neglects a comprehensive review of the disputed entries, perpetuating inaccurate information on my report. 
XXXX. Non-Compliance with Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Requirements As outlined in TILA, creditors must issue clear and accurate billing statements and disclose essential account information to consumers. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. has not adhered to TILA requirements in handling my account, resulting in erroneous charges and inaccurate reporting. This failure to comply with TILA has compounded the inaccuracies on my credit report, further violating my rights as a consumer.

4. Violation of FDCPA Standards for Accuracy and Non-Deceptive Practices The FDCPA mandates that debt collectors and furnishers of information must report accurate, verifiable data. The accounts in question have been repeatedly reported inaccurately, with misleading information that has not been corrected despite my disputes, constituting a violation of FDCPA protections.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Subject : Request for Investigation and Correction of Inaccurate Late Payments on My Credit Report Dear CFPB, Following your agency 's completion of the investigation as outlined in this complaint, I am writing to request a detailed description of the investigation process used to review the disputed account on my credit report. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ), credit reporting agencies are required to provide a description of the investigation process within 15 days of receiving a consumers dispute. 

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered that my XXXX account reflects inaccurate late payments, despite my consistent record of timely payments. It is imperative that consumer reporting agencies ensure all information is reported with complete accuracy, and I am now requesting that TransUnion thoroughly investigate this account and update the entries to reflect on-time payments. 

Discrepancies in Reporting : The credit reporting agencies have inaccurately recorded late payments on this account that do not reflect my actual payment history. The discrepancies are as follows : XXXX : 30-day late payment in XX/XX/year> XXXX : 30-day late payment in XX/XX/year> TransUnion : 30-day late payment in XX/XX/year> These entries are incorrect, as I have consistently made all payments on time. 
Legal Basis for Dispute : Under the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ), I am entitled to the accurate reporting of my account history. The presence of these erroneous late payments misrepresents my creditworthiness, potentially constituting a violation of both the FCRA and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). Additionally, sections 15 U.S.C. 1681i and 1681s-2 of the FCRA mandate that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct inaccurate or incomplete information in consumer reports to ensure maximum accuracy. 

Requested Action : I request that TransUnion perform a comprehensive investigation into this account and promptly remove the inaccurate late payment entries to reflect my correct payment history of 100 % on-time payments. 

Please confirm the removal of these inaccuracies in writing within 30 days of this complaints submission. Failure to resolve this issue may lead to further action to protect my rights as a consumer. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving confirmation of the corrections within the timeframe mandated by the FCRA. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
