My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than XXXX  days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX  days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Experian election has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the fair credit reporting act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against experience, alleging, systemic issues such as failing to forward. Consumer provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian right now has neither corrected nor removed disputed items disputed the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate correction action to removed or amend the disputed accounts, as XXXX inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Credit Reporting Agency, I am writing to formally file a complaint against EQUIFAX concerning ongoing inaccuracies in my credit report, which I believe violate several provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.

In XXXX, I initiated a dispute regarding incorrect information related to ( XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite providing supporting documentation that substantiated my claim, EQUIFAX responded on XXXX indicating that they would not remove the disputed entry. This decision raises concerns about the agencys adherence to its responsibilities under Section 607 ( b ) of the FCRA, which mandates that consumer reporting agencies must ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information they provide. 
In considering this situation, I would like to highlight the legal principle of estoppel. XXXX prevents a party from asserting a claim or fact that is contrary to a position they have previously taken, particularly if this inconsistency would harm another party who has relied on the original position. In my case, I believe that the actions of EQUIFAX may constitute a form of estoppel, as the agency 's initial acknowledgment of my dispute and the accuracy of my evidence should logically inform their subsequent actions regarding the accuracy of my credit report. 
Moreover, I am concerned about my privacy rights under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 
552a. The presence of inaccurate information in my credit report not only misrepresents my financial status but also jeopardizes my ability to secure loans or other financial services. I believe that my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692, may also be infringed, as misleading information could lead to negative repercussions in debt collection processes.

Despite my attempts to resolve this issue directly with EQUIFAX through CERTIFIED MAIL, my concerns remain unaddressed.

Complaint narrative:
To : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) Subject : Complaint Regarding Mohela 's Deliberate Processing Delays- Account # [ Your Account Number ] Dear CFPB Representative, I am filing this complaint against Mohela for their continuous and seemingly deliberate delays in processing my request to switch from XXXX administrative forbearance to a 60 day processing forbearance related to my request to transition from XXXX to XXXX  repayment plan. Below is a timeline of my attempts to resolve this issue : XX/XX/XXXX : Initially requested to transition from XXXX to XXXX, with the understanding they were supposed to place me into a processing forbearance after that request, which would count towards XXXX in the interim as I had XXXX qualifying payments and can not approach XXXX while in this SAVE administrative forbearance. 
XXXX XX/XX/XXXX : Sent follow-up support message XX/XX/XXXX : Received response stating " Mohela is putting your account into forbearance for up to 60 days '' Presumed this meant it was happening. 
XX/XX/XXXX : After another follow-up, received dismissive response : " Our records indicate that you have already called and spoken to XXXX of our Customer Service XXXX XXXX this inquiry '' XX/XX/XXXX : Called and spoke with representative who acknowledged XXXX changes had been made, she then stated she had put in the request and promised resolution around XXXX business days XX/XX/XXXX : Called again after the promised XXXX business days passed, only to be told it would take another XXXX business days This processing forbearance should have been completed by early XX/XX/XXXX. These continuous delays are significantly impacting my financial planning and career decisions for the following reasons : XXXX. I have completed approximately XXXX qualifying payments toward XXXX ( potentially XXXX with buyback ) but can not progress without this forbearance change XXXX. I can not transition to XXXX due to the current program halt XXXX. Given this, I also asked about the timeline to simply exit forbearance into standard repayment, was informed that would take XXXX business days! 
XXXX. These delays force me to remain with my non-profit employer despite having another job opportunity, I've had to cancel the job I urgently request CFPB intervention to require Mohela to implement the processing forbearance immediately, which would allow at least XXXX months to count toward my loan forgiveness. This prolonged administrative delay is causing undue hardship and appears to be an intentional stalling tactic. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
