Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I can not believe the unprofessionalism of the credit reporting agency Experian inwhom I've disputed the following accounts with, all to no prevail. It was written within the laws of the FCRA itself that if the creditor is bringing about allegations then these allegations shall be physically verified and me as the consumer has the right to the Method of Verification used. I've requested certified physical documentation of these unknown and unauthorized accounts reporting on my credit file. But then Experian only response is that they will not reinvestigate. This matter should be on file I've reported this some time ago when my information was stolen and compromised. I'm not sure what's more disturbing, someone using your information or a company ( Experian ) inwhom suppose to protect your information. I'm demanding that these accounts be not only removed from my Experian credit file but blocked as well. Please remove.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have about {$290000.00} of student loans being serviced by Great Lakes Borrower services. Out of that {$290000.00} about {$18000.00} is accrued interest that was present before the coronavirus pandemic. The servicer is putting all accounts into an administrative forbearance in order to comply with the recently passed CARES act. 

I would like to know if the {$18000.00} of accrued interest will capitalize and be added to the principal at the end of the forbearance on XX/XX/2020. The only response that I received from them is the following : " interest MAY capitalize based on the following situations ''. It then goes on to list circumstances under which interest normally capitalizes. 

In this context, the word " may '' means absolutely nothing. I am looking for a simple YES or NO answer to a simple question. For your convenience I will ask the question again. 
Assuming I make no payments during the covid 19 forbearance, will the {$18000.00} of previously accrued interest be added to the principal balance at the end of the forbearance? 


I've been dealing with trying to get a straight answer for over a month now and am stuck with generic copy and paste replies. 

Please help.

Complaint narrative:
Midland is reporting in my credit file however it is inaccurate because it was said to be late, yet all the payments are OK. I do not think that this is mine. I did my research on what to do because it is affecting my scores to badly, I asked for documents, disclosure and where did the account come from but they failed to provide me, so I came online and researched. The plaintiff is asking the same thing that I wanted and at the end of it all the plaintiff won this case. I am talking about the Texas VS Midland Funding Case. I have learned that Midland claims to have a disclosure and an agreement that there is a Consumer Agreement for all who they are collecting from. I guarantee you that there is no such thing that I have agreed upon to.
