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

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing the continued reporting of this charge-off account with a balance. The account was charged off as of XX/XX/year>, and under FCRA Section 605 ( b ), the creditor is required to cease reporting any balance on a charged-off account once it is considered written off as uncollectible. The continued reporting of this balance, especially after the charge-off status, is not only inaccurate but also harmful to my credit profile and violates the rights afforded to me under consumer protection laws.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX, XXXX, and National Credit Adjusters. 
I would like to clarify that I have already paid this account through a different collection agency prior to your acquisition of the debt. As such, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 15 U.S. code 1692g. I am requesting that National Credit Adjusters ( NCA ) provide me with the following : 1. A copy of the written purchase agreement or assignment of the account that shows the transfer of ownership from the original creditor or the previous collection agency to NCA. 
2. Proof of the amount of debt NCA claims I owe, including an itemized accounting of all payments and charges made on the account. 
3. Any documentation that confirms NCAs legal right to collect on this account. Please be advised that I dispute the validity of this debt, as it was previously paid in full. I request that all collection activity cease until NCA can provide the necessary documentation showing that NCA legally owns this account and that there is an outstanding balance. Additionally, I request that NCA update any credit reporting agencies and remove this account from my credit report if they are unable to provide proof of ownership and debt validity. Failure to do so will result in additional complaint with CFPB, FTC. and a lawsuits. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Please contact me via the CFPB portal for further communication.

Complaint narrative:
This collection company is ruining my life and I can not take it anymore. It has done unjustifiable practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They furnished this account that we didn't agree upon and I didn't sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties and I did not participate in any of it. they didn't follow the proper 5-step validation procedure. According to the FDCPA, Im entitled to compensation for these violations and clearly, they violated my rights and abused my privileges. I demand this account be taken off immediately or I will come for them legally.

Complaint narrative:
Used online app chat to request closure of a CD account within the grace period. Was told by agent the account would be closed and proceeds sent to my address of record within 7 to 10 days of closure. The check was never received and when I followed up with bank was told the account auto renewed. Now the bank is refusing to honor the grace period and waive early termination fees. The bank has no further recourse for immediate resolution as I was told the escalation department would take up to 10 business days to review the file.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem with forgiveness, cancellation, or discharge
Company: MOHELA
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I consolidated my loans in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, and it was processed in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. At the time, I had 122 payments towards Public Student Loan Forgiveness, and XXXX on my other loans that were consolidated. Under the temporary IDR adjustment that was extended at least through XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, my highest payment count should have been honored for all loans, which makes me eligible for forgiveness. I was also advised to consolidate by Mohela to take advantage of this program. I have submitted all paperwork in a timely manner and have updated my employment certifications as recently as XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. There has been no movement and my account continues to accrue interest due to the fact they placed me in voluntary forbearance, when it should be administrative forbearance. This month, I was placed into a voluntary medical internship forbearance, which is false. I did not ask for this and it is unethical to state that I am completing an internship that I am not in any way part of nor did I ask for, all the while, interest continues to accrue, increasing my student debt burden. I have called Mohela and the Department of Education numerous times, sent messages, and no one seems to know how to fix this. I am beyond frustrated as I feel I have exhausted all efforts, hence me filing this complaint. I have screenshots, all documentation, yet still no update. Others who submitted applications after the fact are receiving forgiveness, yet many of us, myself included, keep accruing debt because Mohela and the DOE can not get the information and counts accurate. The resolution would be to update my payment counts for PSLF and forgive my loans so my debt burden does not continue to increase due to the mismanagement of the process. This is what was passed by our government, yet no follow through and the lack of action is impacting me and my families future.
