Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
This debt collector has engaged in practices that violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). They have reported an account that I did not consent to, and there is no signed agreement from me authorizing it. A valid legal contract requires the signatures of both parties, and I was not involved in such an agreement. Furthermore, they failed to adhere to the proper 5-step validation process as mandated by the FDCPA. These actions clearly infringe upon my rights under the law, and I am entitled to compensation for these violations. I demand the immediate removal of this accountfrommyrecord.

Company: EdFinancial Services
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
My former student loan servicer was EdFinancial. In XXXX, XXXX, my loan was transferred to XXXX. During the transition, I had previously scheduled a payment with EdFinancial as I was unaware of the transfer. The payment of {$830.00} was withdrawn from my bank account on XX/XX/XXXX and never applied to my loan. I contacted EdFinancial and was asked to provide them with a copy of my bank statement showing the transaction. I sent the bank statement to them via e-mail on XX/XX/XXXX. I have called on several occasions to find out the status of my refund and am repeatedly told that they can not tell me anything other than it is in process with the finance department. I have asked to speak with supervisors and they never call me back. I have asked to speak with the finance department and they do not have a way to get in contact with them. I just want a refund of my payment of {$830.00}.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally addressing a serious issue regarding identity theft that has directly affected me. Recently, I discovered that several bank accounts have been opened in my name without my authorization. This situation has caused significant distress and has raised serious concerns about my personal information being misused. 
I want to emphasize that I have never consented to the opening of these accounts, and I am deeply concerned about the impact this fraudulent activity has on my financial well-being and personal reputation. It is imperative that these accounts be thoroughly removed from my name to prevent any further complications or damage.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of an auto loan by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account ending in ( XXXX ), which has negatively impacted my credit report. I recently submitted a report and the wrong account was adjusted. 

Here are the relevant details of the situation : 1. Loan Details : This was an auto loan for a vehicle that I traded in on XX/XX/year>. The dealership promptly paid off the loan to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>, using a check, which I will include in this report. 2. Issue with Reporting : XXXX has been incorrectly reporting a 30-day late payment for this loan. I have been disputing this matter for several months, but XXXX continues to report false information. They have also changed the reporting details several times during this process. As of now, the following incorrect information is being reported on my credit file : First Delinquency Date : XX/XX/year> ( This is inaccurate. ) Date of Last Payment : XX/XX/year> ( This is inaccurate as well. ) Date Closed : XX/XX/year> ( While this is correct, the context is being misrepresented. ) 3. Incorrect Reporting Practices : According to my communication with XXXX, they claim the 30-day late payment is based on when my last payment was made. However, this should be based on my original payment due date, which was not 30 days past due at any time. I believe this reporting is a violation of accurate credit reporting standards. The account was in good standing, and the loan was paid off in full by the dealer within the appropriate time frame.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a Notice of Error after receiving new evidence of an unknown escrow surplus of {$1400.00}, after noticing Nationstar of XXXX  Home Loans error in reversing a loan payment specifically meant for XX/XX/XXXX, confirmed by XXXX Regulatory Agent XXXX XXXX. Nationstar failed to acknowledge or respond to this Notice of Error allowed after my XX/XX/XXXX discovery of fraud by XXXX  Home Loans and Nationstar 's fraudulent concealment of outrageous errors in the payment allocation of my loan for 5 years negatively impacting my payment history on my only mortgage loan and causing a false payoff statement that Nationstar forced me to over pay. 

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX told me there was not any evidence of a duplicate {$1400.00} escrow payment for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, to which I dug through my records and found direct evidence of the first escrow payment made to BAC Home Loans paid out by BOA NA from my checking account by check XXXX for {$1400.00} that XXXX  Home Loans never recorded. 

Nationstar and their Counsel obstructed my access to their possessed XXXX XXXX XXXX loan history used to onboard the loan with using false payment information provided by XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX. XXXX  Home Loans phone system will not allow for transferred borrowers to speak to an agent by phone in XXXX but still in XXXX. I only accessed this loan history that on its face shows a reversed loan payment credit for XX/XX/XXXX and I provided Nationstar 's counsel and Nationstar with direct evidence of XXXX  Home Loans error to which XX/XX/XXXX Nationstar 's counsel stated to the CFPB a false claim I had not provided this direct evidence of a XXXX XXXX XXXX statement for XX/XX/XXXX. 

I am seeking a response from the CFPB and Nationstar as to why corrective action should not occur, even years later in the face of clearly active fraudulent concealment of this highly relevant and material evidence, that was obstructed for favorable outcome in XXXX XXXXXXXX. The errors cause the current ongoing false inaccurate payment allocation to show up on a Mr. Cooper XXXX of Mortgage. 

See attached factual occurrences as my personal statement and complaint against Nationstar.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
There have been various misbehaviors of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX by Citi. I tried to resolve the problems with Citi. I changed e-bill to paper statement, I wrote a letter to Citi on XX/XX/XXXX, and I stopped use of Citi card for over a year. However, problems happened again when I restarted use of Citi card again since XX/XX/XXXX. 
I received a statement for payment due on XX/XX/XXXX. Citi charged me {$30.00} late fee and {$6.00} interest for the previous month. My bank record shows my payment was on time. I called Citi on XX/XX/XXXX. I was told the late fee and interest were waived already before my call. I asked the representative of Citi : Why did Citi charge me first and then waived the charges? The representative had no any idea. 
I received a statement for payment due on XX/XX/XXXX. Citi charged me {$30.00} late fee and {$5.00} interest for the previous month. My bank record shows my payment was on time. This time, I do not want to call Citi again because I can not tolerate misbehaviors of Citi any more. I paid XXXX that I used the Citi card for purchases. I am filing this complaint with CFPB.
