Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP INC
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Flagstar bank has reported my mortgage late 150 days to 3 credit reporting agencies while my account has been in a billing error status ( 12 CFR 1026.13 ) since XX/XX/2024. I have requested that they send me all the accounting according to GAAP. They have yet to do so. Instead I was sent a ledger and a letter stating what Im asking basically is too much work. Pursuant to 12 CFR 1026.13 ( 2 ) Adverse credit reports prohibited. The creditor or its agent shall not ( directly or indirectly ) make or threaten to make an adverse report to any person about the consumer 's credit standing, or report that an amount or account is delinquent, because the consumer failed to pay the disputed amount or related finance or other charges. Then my account was in a loan modification status and I sent in the documents to the return address and was ensured no payments were going to be reported late and they illegally did that as well. I also informed them by mail and phone that there was a default in my letter of credit/bill of lading/good and I am authorizing all the accrued interest and fees be applied in full and refunded per terms and agreements. My account has yet to be credited according to UCC 3-603. I gave acceptance and consideration and returned the good. They are now telling me that my home is in a foreclosure status but have not given any administrative process or notices to me in regards to that. They are trying to me illegally foreclose on a home that I have a perfected UCC1 lien that I security interest in. The mortgage deed and the note have been separated and sold which also makes a breach in the contract and cancels out the mortgage. XXXX XXXX

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I attended The XXXX XXXX in XXXX MA from XXXX to XXXX to attain a Certificate in XXXX XXXX. The XXXX XXXX was aka XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX. The Attorney General of Massachusetts closed the school down and charged them with fraud shortly after I graduated. They were convicted and forced to close down all their locations in XXXX. The certificate I obtained did not help me in any way to attain employment and I have had the loans gathering interest for almost 15 years now. I have applied for loan forgiveness on the FSA website but my application is still pending from over a year ago.

I only seek to have my loans forgiven as they were convicted by the District Attorney of defrauding and misleading students.

I owe approximately {$9000.00} to Nelnet, on a total of 4 different loans.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Immediate Reporting of Payments and Addressing Reporting Discrepancies Dear True AccordXXXX, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding the current reporting practices of my account. Specifically, I have observed a disparity in the timeliness of reporting payments to credit bureaus. 

It has come to my attention that payments, especially those made to bring my account current, are not being reported promptly to you or to the credit bureaus. In contrast, delinquencies are reported immediately. This inconsistency is unfair and detrimental to my credit standing. 

I request that all payments, including those made to bring my account current, be reported to the credit bureaus immediately upon receipt. Accurate and timely reporting is crucial to ensure a fair reflection of my creditworthiness. I demand that True Accord report to XXXX a paid in full balance as where XXXX can report to all 3 credit bureaus updated status. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your immediate action to rectify this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Saint Louis Missouri Laws Dear AWA COLLECTIONS, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and Missouri identity theft and fraud laws, specifically Missouri Revised Statutes Section 570.223. 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that AWA COLLECTIONS has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. Missouri Revised Statutes Section 570.223 establishes clear guidelines for the protection of personal information and the severe consequences of identity theft and fraud. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for AWA COLLECTIONS to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that AWA COLLECTIONS immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Missouri Revised Statutes Section 570.223. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws. 

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that AWA COLLECTIONS will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a product from XXXX XXXX XXXX that arrived in a timely fashion but was not operational upon receipt. The merchant ignored all attempts to resolve this via email, telephone, and online chat. As a result, I filed a dispute on my Apple card ( a product of Goldman Sachs ). 

Goldman Sachs has denied my dispute twice. Their reason is that the merchant provided proof of delivery. Proof of delivery of a defective product does nothing for anyone. That is the only proof the merchant has provided Goldman Sachs. 

I have provided emails showing my attempts to contact the merchant. I have hired a plumber twice to fix this problem ( with no success ). The plumber came back a third time and wrote a letter to Goldman Sachs saying the product is defective. This is blatant fraud. Goldman Sachs refuses to reverse the charge. 

There is no point in using a credit card for fraud protection if the card issuer isn't going to hold the merchant accountable. XXXX XXXX XXXX 's business model is fraud. Goldman Sachs is indirectly helping XXXX XXXX XXXX perpetrate the fraud. 

I spent almost {$3400.00} on a product that doesn't work. The merchant that sold me the product has refused to communicate with me. Goldman Sachs claims that proof that a faulty product was delivered is all they need to keep the charge on my account. None of this makes sense.
