Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Against EXPERIAN for Repeated Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Request for Deletion of Inaccurate Account Information Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against EXPERIANfor retaining inaccurate account information on my credit report despite multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and to request the deletion of the inaccurate account information and legal action against EXPERIAN Account Information : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX Despite providing clear evidence of the inaccuracies in the above-referenced account and requesting its removal from my credit report, EXPERIAN has repeatedly failed to comply with the FCRA and has retained the inaccurate account information. This ongoing non-compliance with the law has caused me financial harm and distress. 
The violations committed by EXPERIAN include but are not limited to : - Failure to conduct a proper reinvestigation following multiple disputes - Failure to delete inaccurate information as required by Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ( ii ) of the FCRA - Failure to adhere to 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) by retaining inaccurate account information It is worth noting that XXXX has now removed this account from my credit report and has provided me with evidence of its removal. This highlights the lack of accuracy and consistency in the information reported across the three major credit bureaus. If XXXX has acknowledged that the information is incorrect, it is clear that Experian is failing to maintain the accuracy required by the FCRA. 
I formally request that this information and the related account be removed from my Experian credit report immediately, to ensure that the data reflected in my credit history is accurate and consistent with the other agencies.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 


I demand the late payment to be updated. 


They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 


15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Complaint narrative:
I have tried to resolve this matter with MOHELA /Dept of Education and I never get anywhere with agents via phone other than conflicting information ( different information from different agents ). There has been so many CHANGES with this student loan mess and I believe my paperwork that I filled out went unnoticed. I am a XXXX and was on the PSLF /SAVE and now I'm not sure what's going on other than they keep reporting a higher balance to the credit bureaus which is incorrect. I am needing someone higher up with the department of education to reach out to me regarding this matter as soon as possible. My # XXXX. Students need to be kept in the loop of their account and what different information means or is. Not me getting a bill for XXXX which is wayyy above what I can afford as a single mother of XXXX.
