Complaint narrative:
Student loans are considered " education records '' under FERPA. This means that they are protected by the privacy provisions of FERPA.

FERPA generally prohibits the release of education records without the student 's written consent.

The federal government guarantees most student loans. This means that the government will repay the loans if the student defaults. Therefore, there is no need for private credit reporting agencies to have this information on their credit reports. 

Reporting student loans on credit reports can have a negative impact on students ' credit scores. This can make it more difficult for students to qualify for loans and other forms of credit.

Complaint narrative:
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ) like XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion have a responsibility to respect the privacy of consumers and only share their information with their consent. 

I am a consumer, and I have the right to make sure that my private information is not shared without my permission. 

The FCRA states that CRAs may only furnish consumer reports " in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' ( 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) ). 

However, neither XXXX, XXXX nor Transunion has my written consent to furnish my information. 

Therefore, I am revoking any and all consent that I have given to these CRAs, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise. 

The FCRA also states that financial institutions may not disclose nonpublic personal information to non-affiliated third parties unless the consumer is given an explanation of how to exercise their nondisclosure option. ( 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) ). 

However, the financial institution that furnished my information to XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion never informed me of my right to exercise this option. 

In addition, the FCRA prohibits CRAs from making consumer reports that contain " any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedate the report by more than seven years. '' ( 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) ). 

However, XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion are reporting an adverse item of information about me. 

This is a violation of the FCRA. 

Finally, the FCRA requires CRAs to maintain " reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. '' ( 15 USC 1681e ). 

However, XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion are not maintaining reasonable procedures. 

They are repeatedly furnishing my information without my consent, and they are furnishing information that is more than seven years old. 

This is a violation of the FCRA. 

I am opting out of XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion reporting services. 

I demand that they immediately remove my information from their databases and cease furnishing my information to any third parties.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2023 I opened an account with Wells Fargo reacting to the marketing offer. Starting in XXXX I have worked in the XXXX and to that effect I requested the bank to send me a paper bill to the XXXX address. The bill never arrived. 
Furthermore the bank apparently mispelled my US address therefore despite speaking with three people at the bank 's customer service I was given no assistance regarding the exact start of the account. 
The issue is that the marketing offer extended relates to spend of {$3000.00} within the 90 days of the account opening. Since the bank blocked my online access as I am using my device overseas ( foreign IP address ) as threat it also refused to provide me with the account opening date. I think this is done on purpose so the 90 days threshold is not met and this info is absolutely no way related to the account security. Furthermore the WF staff is utterly rude and unprofessional and instead of providing the solution to the problem such as this they just offer meaningless and ridiculous talking points which have absolutely no relation to reality

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to submit a formal complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report as reported by TransUnion. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted TransUnion to dispute the following inaccuracies on my credit report. However, to this date, I have not received a response from them. I am providing the details of the incorrect information and the required corrections below : The following account is not mine : XXXX XXXXXXXX ( Account # : XXXX, Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX, Balance : {$270.00} ). Please remove it from my credit report. 


The account XXXX XXXX ( Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX : {$250.00} ) has inaccurate evidence. The XXXX of {$250.00} reported by TransUnion does not correspond to the lower amount that I remember. The XXXX XXXX amount should not be provided for a closed account that was charged-off. As this misinformation has significantly affected my credit reputation, I plan to resolve this matter with my creditor. Until then, I request that TransUnion marks this account as disputed to prevent further damage to my credit score. 


The account XXXX ( Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX : {$1500.00} ) is inaccurately reported. The XXXX amount of {$1500.00} is inflated and incorrect. I believe that the amount owed is lower than what is reported. Additionally, TransUnion 's inclusion of a Past Due amount for this closed and charged-off account is inaccurate. I intend to address this issue directly with the creditor to rectify the misrepresented information. Therefore, I request TransUnion to mark this account as disputed until a resolution is reached.
