Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem with your payment plan
Company: MOHELA
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024 I submitted an Income-Driven Repayment plan application for an Income-Based Repayment ( IBR ) plan and received confirmation from Federal Student Aid that the application was received. 

On XX/XX/2024 I received an electronic letter dated XX/XX/2024 from Mohela confirming receipt of the IDR Application. However, there was no indication of a processing forbearance. 

On XX/XX/2024 I called mohela and waited XXXX hour XXXX minutes to speak with someone. I eventually spoke with employee ID # XXXX. I asked about why the processing forbearance was not appearing yet. They said they would not put me in a processing forbearance until after XX/XX/2024. This contradicts the federal student aid guidance posted on XXXX XXXX, 2024 and still listed on their site as of today, XX/XX/2204. Without this processing forbearance, it negatively impacts me as a borrower pursuing XXXX as it delays any potential PSLF qualifying periods. 

Below is a direct excerpt from the federal student aid site : If servicers need time to process a borrowers IDR application, servicers will move the borrower into a processing forbearance for up to 60 days. Interest accrues during this short-term processing forbearance, and time in the processing forbearance is eligible for XXXX  and IDR forgiveness. If the borrowers application is not processed by their servicer within 60 days, the borrower will be moved into a general forbearance that does not count toward XXXX or IDR until their application is processed. Interest will not accrue in this general forbearance.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. 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. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

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 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports
