Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate and damaging credit reporting by Sallie Mae on my student loan account. According to my credit report, Sallie Mae reported my loan as 60 days late in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX. However, I have written confirmation from Sallie Mae that I was approved for XXXX administrative forbearance from XX/XX/XXXX, through XX/XX/XXXX. These reported delinquencies fall entirely within the approved forbearance period and should not have been reported as late. 

In addition to this initial forbearance, I was approved for additional XXXX related forbearance beginning in XX/XX/XXXX and another in XX/XX/XXXX. Despite these approved accommodations, Sallie Mae continued to report late payments on my credit file. I have contacted them multiple times to dispute these inaccuracies, but their responses have been generic and unhelpful, simply stating that the reporting is accurate without offering supporting documentation or addressing the specific forbearance periods. 

Furthermore, I re-enrolled in school beginning in XX/XX/XXXX, which should have qualified my loan for in-school deferment. I was unaware at the time that my school failed to notify Sallie Mae of my enrollment status. As a result, deferment was not applied, and Sallie Mae continued to report delinquencies that could have been avoided had my enrollment status been properly recorded. I have sent in documentation of my enrollment status during this time frame to Sallie Mae already.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: T.S. Holdings
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I sent a written request for debt validation regarding an alleged debt tied to XXXX XXXX. I followed up again in writing on XX/XX/year>, after receiving no response. In both letters, I requested documentation proving that I owe the debt, the name of the original creditor, an itemized breakdown of the amount claimed, and verification that the company has the legal authority to collect the debt. 

As of XX/XX/year>, I have not received any acknowledgment or the requested documentation. I called the company on XX/XX/year>, to follow up and was told they do not speak with consumers. This response is concerning and appears to violate my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), which requires debt collectors to respond to written validation requests and cease collection activity until proper documentation is provided.

At this time, I am requesting the CFPBs assistance in compelling the company to provide the required debt validation or cease all collection efforts.

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
