We received a letter from BSI Financial services today XX/XX/XXXX to welcome us as a new customer for our mortgage loan and stated our principal balance is XXXX. The letter is dated XX/XX/XXXX. It has our names and address on it and where to send payments and a form for automatic withdrawals.

I called XXXX and they did confirm that our mortgage is with XXXX XXXX  since XX/XX/XXXX and to disregard this letter. I am not ok with disregarding the letter as they have our information on this letter and to me this sounds like fraud and violating the consumer financial protection act ; which BSI have already been sued for. We would like this investigated and why they have our information and a supposed account number with a balance.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email and letter from the Department of Education. In regards to, Student Loan Discharge Based on Borrower Defense Evidence. The notice from the Department of Education stated, " Your loan ( s ) will be discharged as part of a Department action ( " Group Discharge '' ) to discharge all outstanding loans for attendance at XXXX XXXX XXXX that first began from XX/XX/XXXX through closure in XX/XX/XXXX after finding that it engaged in widespread misconduct that violated state consumer protection laws and/or made widespread substantial misrepresentations about its educational programs, both of which are grounds for borrower defense to repayment under the borrower defense regulations ( 34 C.F.R. 685.206 and/or 685.222 ). The Department is discharging your loans without requiring you to file an application because of the pervasive and widespread nature of the school 's conduct.

You also may receive a refund for prior payments made to the Department on your discharged loan ( s ) related to XXXX XXXX XXXX. Your servicer will let you know if you are eligible for a payment refund, which would be mailed to you. Please check your online account with your loan servicer to ensure your address is correct so you can receive any refund. Otherwise, you do not have to take any further action to receive your discharge. Your credit report will also be updated to reflect this discharge when it is complete. '' I have previously disputed with all credit bureaus and the issue has failed to be resolved. 
I contacted the loan servicer XXXX after receiving written notice and was advised it will be removed in 90 days. This was not resolved.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: PR

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the late payments that have been reported on my credit report. According to my records, I have made all payments on time and in full, and I believe that these late payment entries are inaccurate. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), consumers have certain rights and protections when it comes to credit reporting. Specifically, I would like to draw your attention to the following provisions : 15 USC 1681i : This section outlines the procedure for disputing inaccuracies on credit reports. As a consumer, I have reviewed my credit report and identified the following late payment entries that I dispute : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I request that you investigate these entries and remove them from my credit report if they are found to be inaccurate. I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of your investigation results and any corrections made to my credit report. 

15 USC 1681b : This section requires that credit reporting agencies only provide credit reports to parties that have a legitimate purpose for accessing them. I ask that you confirm that you had a legitimate purpose for reporting the late payments to the credit reporting agency in question.

15 USC 1666b : This section requires that creditors provide written notice to consumers when adverse actions are taken, such as reporting late payments to credit reporting agencies. I request that you confirm that you provided me with the required notice prior to reporting the late payments to the credit reporting agency.

Furthermore, I remind you of your obligation under the FDCPA to provide accurate information to credit reporting agencies. Failing to do so could be considered a violation of the Act and could result in legal action being taken against you.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please provide me with any necessary documentation or information to assist me in this dispute process. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
