Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
My credit report contains unauthorized inquiries that were made without my consent. Upon contacting the creditors responsible for these inquiries, they confirmed they have no evidence that I initiated these inquiries and lack any written or verbal authorization from me. 
Due to the lack of valid grounds for these inquiries, I formally requested their immediate removal. The credit bureau in question has not provided a satisfactory response, which is why I filed a complaint with the FTC. 
Details of Disputed Inquiries : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Legal Grounds ( Fair Credit Reporting Act, FCRA ) : Permissible Purposes : Under Section 604, unauthorized inquiries do not meet the requirements for permissible purposes.

Handling of Unverifiable Information : According to Section 611, any inquiry that can not be verified must be removed.

Right of Verification : Section 609 grants me the right to verify each inquiry with an original signed contract.

Information Provider Responsibility : Section 623 requires that reported data is accurate and authorized.

Protection Against Identity Theft : Section 605A mandates the removal of unauthorized inquiries potentially related to identity theft. 
Additional Legal Support : Cases such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX ) reinforce that inquiries must meet the FCRAs permissible purposes requirements.

I respectfully request that the CFPB conduct a thorough investigation into these unauthorized inquiries and ensure their prompt removal if no verifiable authorization documentation exists. I appreciate that my prior complaint with the FTC be considered, as I have not received an adequate response that fulfills my rights under the FCRA. Should this matter remain unresolved, I reserve the right to take additional legal action. 
Thank you for confirming receipt of this complaint and for providing a written response on the progress of the investigation within a reasonable timeframe.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. 
Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation.

This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. XXXX ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Nelnet is constantly providing conflicting information to me, providing rude or incompetent customer service, and arbitrarily altering my payment due amounts. 

The specific case I'm writing about is about a grace period/deferment I was told would last until XXXX of XXXX for my subsidized loans ( see attached ). This email was sent on XXXX XXXX of XXXX. 

I was told that my subsidized loans would NOT accrue interest if I did not pay them during this period. 

On Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX, I logged on to see my full, normal, monthly payment of ~ {$240.00} due with an interest of triple what I normally pay. 

The agent referred me to the supervisor " XXXX '' who told me that I was actually ineligible for said grace period and that any in-school deferment was not actually applicable to me and that they had received this information from XXXX XXXX BEFORE XXXXXXXX XXXX of XXXX. 

I am constantly fighting with these people due to their miscommunications with me and the schools I've attended. 

I would like the interest I was told I would not have to pay applied to the principal of my next payment. 

Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SC XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Request for Deletion of Late Payments for Nelnet/Sloan Accounts Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau , According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the term consumer report does not include : ( 2 ) Exclusions.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( A ) subject to section 1681s3 of this title, any ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ; I am writing to request the deletion of late payments reported for my Nelnet/Sloan accounts for the months of XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. These late payments are inaccurately reflected in my credit report and are causing undue harm to my creditworthiness. If unable to provide or lacking proof of these payments being late, update payment history to paid as agreed never late ( PAANL ).

The information regarding these late payments falls under the exclusions outlined in the statute, as it pertains solely to transactions or experiences between myself and Nelnet/Sloan . Additionally, I have evidence that my loan was in forbearance during the time of these reported late payments. Therefore, the late payments are inaccurate and should not be included in my credit report.

Please investigate this matter promptly and provide me with written confirmation of the deletion of these late payments from my credit report. Please provide detailed description of all procedures used in your process to determine accuracy of information provided. I appreciate your attention to this important issue and look forward to your timely response. 

Thank you for your cooperation. 

Sincerely, XXXX
