Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as a formal request under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), for the method of verification used by Equifax to confirm the continued reporting of the following accounts on my credit file : 1. XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX 2. XXXX XXXX  Account # : XXXX These accounts were previously disputed and yet remain on my credit report. I am requesting a detailed description of the procedures used to verify the accuracy of these accounts, as required by law. A vague statement such as we verified with the furnisher is not sufficient under the FCRA. 
Specifically, I request : The name, contact information, and address of the party that verified the data. 
The method and date of communication between Equifax and the furnisher. 
Any documentation that was used or received in the process of verification. 
Whether automated systems such as e-Oscar were used to verify the information. 
According to the FCRA, you are required to respond to this request within 15 business days. Failure to provide the method of verification constitutes non-compliance with federal law and may result in formal complaints being filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and legal action under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o.

If these accounts can not be verified with proper documentation and procedure, I demand they be immediately removed from my Equifax credit report.

Company: MOHELA
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX my employer made two lump sum payments on my behalf, each in the amount of about {$8300.00}. With each disbursement from my employer, I requested to be placed ahead in paid ahead status beginning on the date when payments resumed after the covid pause, which was XXXX or XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. Ive called Mohela and spoke to Mohela supervisors numerous times. First they tried to apply the payment based on an amount that would have been due if I wasnt on an income based repayment plan. They completely ignored my instructions and overcharged me. As a result of their failure to following my payment instructions, Ive to make payments although Mohela has the funds to put my account in paid ahead status of over a year. I shouldnt have to make a payment because the disbursements from my employer more than covered the amount due under the income based repayment plan, which is XXXX XXXXXXXXmonth. Then they said that due to the platform migration my file had to be rebuilt. After many calls, they told me that my file was rebuilt. I last called a few months ago and Mohela assured me that my payments will be reapplied to place me in paid ahead status. However, that has not happened. Im still being billed and required to make payments although my account is over funded. Today I tried to call Mohela again and their customer service no longer accepts phone calls related to billing issues. This is criminal. Its been 2 years and my request to use the lump sum payments from my employer to place me in paid ahead status has not been honored. Theyre keeping my employers money and still forcing me to pay. They are double dipping and stealing funds. Its criminal and dishonest.

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.

Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I discovered an unauthorized and inaccurate collection account on my credit report from TransUnion Consumer Solutions associated with XXXX XXXX, account number XXXX. This account does not belong to me, and I have no knowledge of its origin. I formally disputed this account with the credit bureau, requesting verification and removal based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), as well as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically Sections 809 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) and 807 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ).

Despite my formal dispute and request for a thorough investigation, TransUnion Consumer Solutions has continued to report this account without verifying its accuracy or providing me with documentation supporting its validity. This violates my rights under the FCRA, as credit bureaus are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and must not report inaccurate or unverifiable information. Notably, failure to comply with these requirements has been underscored by precedents such as Marchisio v. Carrington Mortgage Services, Henson v. CSC Credit Services, and Johnson v. MBNA America Bank, NA.

This inaccurate information is damaging my credit score and affecting my financial standing. I believe that the credit bureaus failure to properly investigate and respond to my dispute is a direct violation of the FCRA, causing me unnecessary harm.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX has reported three late payments on my credit file, including 30- and 60-day delinquencies for XXXX and XX/XX/year>, which I dispute as inaccurate and harmful. These late marks were triggered during a documented hardship period where the VA delayed critical income deposits affecting my ability to pay on timethis is verified, ongoing, and a situation beyond my control. 

I also attempted to resolve this matter directly with the creditor, but they provided no documentation validating the legitimacy or accuracy of the late marks under FCRA 609 or 623. Additionally, one of the items I ordered during this time ( a designer shirt ) was sent incorrectly and has not been authenticated properly, suggesting further inconsistency in the creditors business practices. 

At no point was I given a proper investigation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and no formal notice was sent to allow me to dispute the debt before these marks were added. I am actively rehabilitating my credit, and these three late payments are materially inaccurate and disproportionately harmful to my score and creditworthiness.
