Complaint narrative:
This is about the 4th, 4th or 6th time this has been removed from my credit report. The collection agency just sells it to some other agency and they add it to our credit report. Over and over again. This is ridiculous. The pattern is when we i go to use my credit, they report it. Every time. Like some sick game to exploit money from working people, tantamount to blackmail.

Company: WESTERN UNION COMPANY, THE
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I purchased and mailed a {$500.00} money order through Western Union to XXXX XXXX  which was later confirmed to be cashed on XX/XX/year>. Upon learning it was cashed, I contacted XXXX XXXX, who confirmed they hadnt received it. I initiated a tracing request with Western Union on XX/XX/year>. After multiple follow-ups, I received a photocopy of the cashed money order by email over 70 days later, revealing that the payee and other fields had been altered. 

There have been long delays and conflicting information from representatives, with instructions that varied. One instruction was to submit a notarized affidavit form by mail to the Forgery Department, which I did. On XX/XX/year>, I received an email from the Forgery Department stating they received my documents and that the forgery process would initiate the following week, with an estimated resolution time of 90-120 days. 

However, in several calls with representatives, I was informed that my refund check was processed on XX/XX/year>, and should have arrived by XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX I have not received it. 

So far, this case has cost me {$26.00}.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Demand for Payment Due to Violations of Consumer Rights Dear Experian, XXXX XXXX and XXXX, I am writing to formally demand payment in the amount of {$1000.00} for each violation of my consumer rights, as specified under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681 and 15 U.S.C. 6892.

I have identified the following violations in regard to my credit report : 1. Permissible Purpose : You have reported information on my credit report without a permissible purpose, as required by the FCRA.

2. Failure to Provide Verification : You have failed to provide any method of verification upon my request, which infringes upon my rights under the FCRA.

3. Notification Requirements : You did not notify me at least five ( 5 ) days prior to reporting any information on my credit report, which is a clear violation of the FCRA.

Each of these violations constitutes a breach of my consumer rights, for which I am entitled to compensation of {$1000.00} per violation. Given that there are three distinct violations listed above, I am seeking a total payment of {$3000.00}.

Please remit payment to my address listed above within fifteen ( 15 ) days of receipt of this letter. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within this timeframe, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter by filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and seeking legal representation to enforce my rights. 

I trust that you will treat this matter with the urgency it deserves and look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: MOHELA
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I got a letter from MOHELA saying my PAYE plan was due to expire soon. They say in the letter that they are required to give a 95 day notice prior to the anniversary day of my income driven repayment plan. 
The letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX and I received it XX/XX/XXXX via email. The letter then said that my deadline was XX/XX/year>. That is a not 95 days and is actually 10 day notice. I panicked and recertified by uploading a tax return. Now I want to withdraw my recertification because I should have gotten 95 days. I also am aware that all recertifications are paused and many other people got this same generic letter with the 95 day statement and then a deadline that was well within 95 days. I cant afford for my payments to go up if they can stay the same for the time being. They tricked me into recertifying early with no 95 day notice if the deadline was truly XX/XX/year>.
