Complaint narrative:
This account was charged off on XXXX. Since then the account has been updated as charged off every month. This is an update in payment history. A charged off account should not include an active payment history. This inaccurate information falsely manipulates the statute of limitations.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Complaint narrative:
We recently booked a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX through Amex XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX at a total confirmed rate of {$1000.00}. This amount included a base rate of {$850.00}, taxes and fees of {$94.00}, and an additional on-site charge of $ XXXX shown in my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  which is attached hereto. 
However, upon checkout, we were presented with a final bill totaling $ XXXX {$290.00} more than the confirmed amount. We requested a breakdown to understand the discrepancy, and the hotel provided the attached folio. Upon review, we noticed that the nightly base rates listed ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) are significantly higher than our confirmed rate, even when accounting for exchange rates as of XX/XX/XXXX. Additionally, the {$100.00} XXXX property credit as advertised in Amexs fine hotel reservation program appears to have not been applied. 

We reached out to Amex twice asking for an explanation of the discrepancy but got no answer.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My federal student loan servicer, Nelnet, reported my loan accounts as 210 days past due as of XX/XX/XXXX. However, these loans were protected under the federal on-ramp program from XX/XX/XXXXXXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. During that time, the U.S. Department of Education stated that missed payments would not be reported as delinquent. 

Nelnets own letter confirms the delinquency status but does not justify how these negative marks comply with the CARES Act and post-forbearance protections. The late payments were reported without sufficient warning or repayment plan options, and now appear across all three credit bureaus ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), damaging my credit. 

I already contacted Nelnet and received no resolution. I am requesting CFPB review and intervention to ensure accurate reporting under federal policy and to have these delinquencies removed.
