Let me be clear : I am the consumer, and I am writing this letter personally. There is no third party involved. So please do not send me another stall letter or generic response that approach is unacceptable and shows disregard for both federal law and consumer rights. 
This matter has already been raised and documented, yet these inaccurate and fraudulent entries remain on my credit file. This is not just a reporting error it's a serious identity theft issue, and your inaction is now bordering on willful non-compliance.

Ive already provided you with everything necessary including my FTC Identity Theft Report, government-issued ID, Social Security card , and proof of address.

15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to Reinvestigate If you do not reinvestigate or verify the entries within the time permitted by law, and can not produce legitimate records showing my authorization, you are obligated to permanently remove them.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Company: MOHELA
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding the servicing of my federal student loans by MOHELA. Since early XXXX and continuing to the present, I have experienced multiple significant issues that have adversely affected my loan account and progress toward forgiveness : I have been overcharged and billed despite being in forbearance or eligible for forgiveness programs. 

My PSLF balance has been incorrectly reported, causing confusion about the actual payments needed. Letter sent that I had no qualifying PSLF payments which is not accurate. 

My Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) paperwork has been delayed or ignored, even though I have submitted the required documentation on time.

I have been unable to reliably reach MOHELA by phone, and when I have contacted them by email, responses have been extremely delayed or absent.

These problems have caused me considerable XXXX  and financial hardship. I believe my experience reflects systemic issues in MOHELAs loan servicing practices, as evidenced by ongoing lawsuits such as AFT v. MOHELA. I respectfully request your assistance in reviewing my loan account, correcting errors, and ensuring my eligibility for forgiveness programs like PSLF is accurately recognized and applied. Please acknowledge receipt of this complaint and advise me on the steps t
hat will be taken to resolve these issues promptly.

Thank you for your time and attention.

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding an inaccurate and unresolved reporting issue on my credit file with Experian. I had a XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX account that has already been removed by XXXX  and XXXX  after investigation. However, Experian continues to report this account as a charge-off, negatively impacting my credit score. 

What Happened : The XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX account ( opened around XX/XX/XXXX and closed at the creditor 's request ) was charged off. 

I initiated disputes with all three major credit bureaus ( Experian, XXXX, and XXXX  ). 

Both XXXX and XXXX  have already removed this account from my credit report after their respective investigations. 

Despite submitting documentation and requesting reinvestigation, Experian continues to report the account as a derogatory item. 

The status reported by Experian is Charge Off/Other Derog with the last update in XX/XX/XXXX, and a 90-day late mark. 

This is causing significant damage to my credit standing, with Experian showing a lower score than the other bureaus as a result. 
Request : I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter and assist in compelling Experian to either : Remove the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX account from my report, or Provide valid documentation and verification from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX justifying the continued reportingwhich should be consistent with the findings of XXXX  and XXXX.

The customer service rep from the lender sent me a copy upon my request of the contract. The contract contains a forged signature. The lender told me to take it up with the dealer. The dealer can not cancel a loan and I do not trust the people who forged my signature to buy back a car. If I allow them to buy back the car, I would be aggreeing to ownership of the loan. I filed a police report. I will attach a copy of the police report number and a copy of the forged contract. The lender is aware that it is forged.
