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. ''

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I was charged {$3600.00} by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Within XXXX minutes of purchase, I called the merchant to cancel, which was the only available refund method. Despite following procedure, they refused my cancellation. 

The refund policy I received after payment only references certain programs, classes, and a one-year add-on. It makes no mention of membership refunds. The merchant is misapplying a no refund policy where none exists. 

I am a XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX  and explained before purchase that I intended to use this training to start a business. Only after payment did the representative state that I can not legally perform the procedures independently, and that I would need a physician or NP present for every procedure. This makes the training unusable for my stated purpose. 

I filed a XXXX  complaint ( # XXXX ). The merchant falsely claimed their representative twice disclosed state restrictions before purchase. This is not true, and I told them to review the recorded call, which will confirm the disclosure was made only after payment. 

I provided Capital One with all available documentation, including the agreement, terms, cancellation details, and XXXX  complaint. Capital One denied my dispute, stating I lacked requested information. No further documentation exists because the merchant has no membership refund policy or alternate refund process. 

I request that Capital One reverse this charge under the Truth in Lending Act ( Regulation Z ), as the service was not delivered as agreed and the merchant acted deceptively.

State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint under FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) requesting that [ TRANSUNION ] immediately block and permanently remove multiple fraudulent accounts [ Collections, Charge-Offs, Late Payments, and Hard Inquiries ] that were added to my credit report without my knowledge or authorization. These accounts are the direct result of fraudulent activity, not any legitimate consumer transaction, and I have provided a valid FTC Fraud Report ( Criminal Complaint # XXXX ) along with supporting documentation, including proof that my personal data was compromised in the XXXX data breach.

I am filing this FTC Identity Theft Affidavit to report five fraudulent accounts appearing on my consumer FICO TransUnion credit report which I do not recognize as reported and which are the result of identity theft and fraud. These fraudulent accounts consist of an Installment Account opened at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX ; a Collection account opened at XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX ; a Collection account opened at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX ; a Collection account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX  on XXXX XXXX, XXXX under the account number XXXX ; and a Collection account opened at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX. These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from each of my consumer credit reports and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws. 

It is the credit bureaus legal obligation under the FCRA to review and block fraudulent, inaccurate, or incomplete information from a consumers file within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving proper documentation. I am demanding the immediate removal of all fraudulent items, a stop to all related collection activity, and confirmation that this dispute has been escalated for manual investigation, not automated processing. Failure to act in accordance with federal law may result in further legal action to protect my consumer rights.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
The federal government put a pause on student loans. Both of my student loans were with XXXX. Every month I would login to my account with XXXX and try to make a payment and it would say there is a Federal pause no payments can be made. In XXXX of XXXX when I logged in to my XXXX account it said my account is in the process of being transferred but did not state where it was being transferred to. I checked back again in XXXX of XXXX  and it said the same thing. Then in XXXX of XXXX when I tried to login with XXXX it said I longer had account with them but still did not state where my loan was transferred to. I assumed I would get something in the mail, phone call, etc letting me know where to make my payments. In the beginning of XXXX I get an alert from XXXX XXXX telling me my credit score dropped XXXX points due to a 90 day delinquency for two loans with AIDVANTAGE. I immediately called AIDVANTAGE to get an explanation of how could I be 90 days late when I was never informed that my loans had been transferred to them. I was told on the phone on the phone by them that they never called or mailed anything but did send messages to my account. The thing is I had no account set up with them so how could I see the messages. I immediately made a account and made the necessary payment. I explained the situation and the woman agreed on the phone that they should remove it from my credit report but I just had to write a hand written letter explaining what happened. I wrote the letter sent and sent it off and a month later I got a email saying my request to remove the credit report was denied because report is accurate. I feel it is a special situation that is extremely unfair due nature of the events with the student loans being paused and then my account being transferred without me being notified properly. I havent missed a payment on anything in over 11 years. I worked very hard to get my credit where it was only to be crushed by this. I was getting ready to buy a new house and cant because my credit isnt where it needs to be.
