Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am submitting this follow-up complaint against S & S Recovery , Inc. and XXXX University of XXXX XXXX XXXX ) regarding ongoing debt collection violations and retaliation that occurred even after my prior complaint ( Case No. XXXX, closed XX/XX/year> ). 

Facts : I have been making consistent, on-time payments directly to XXXX, as reflected in my student account records. 
Despite this, XXXX wrongfully referred my account to S & S Recovery for collection, which I believe was retaliatory and in bad faith. 
I provided proof of these payments in my original complaint. 
I expressly instructed S & S Recovery to cease all communications with me, yet they continued to email, text, and call documented in attached screenshots. 

Violations : FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( c ) : Continued contact after I revoked consent for communication.

FDCPA, 1692d : Harassment by repeated communications after cease request.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I lost access to my Experian account after my phone number changed. Because the old number was still on file, I was unable to receive the verification code required to reset my password. After multiple failed attempts to log in and reset the password, my account became locked. 

I attempted to contact Experian for assistance through their customer service number and online support, but the automated system continuously redirected me to the website with no option to speak to a representative or verify my identity through other means. I also tried using the Forgot Password feature and the help form, but each time I was sent back into the same loop that required the old phone number. 

I have been unable to regain access to my Experian account or my credit report as a result. I am requesting that Experian allow me to verify my identity by an alternate method and restore my access to my credit file.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law. ''
