Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: ME

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to seek your assistance with an ongoing issue involving XXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite numerous attempts to resolve this matter through dispute processes, the inaccuracies persist and are affecting my credit profile adversely. 

Account Information : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Repossession and sale of vehicle, missing Right to Redeem, 1099-C, and Notice of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX repossessed and auctioned off my vehicle but failed to provide me with the following essential documents : Right to Redeem : I did not receive a notice or any opportunity to redeem the vehicle before it was sold. 
1099-C Form : I have not been provided with a 1099-C form, which is required for reporting canceled debt. 
Notice of Deficiency : I did not receive any notice of deficiency that details any remaining balance or deficiency after the auction sale. 
I have disputed this account on multiple occasions with the credit bureaus, yet the inaccurate information continues to appear on my credit report. This lack of proper documentation and notification constitutes a violation of my rights and is being inaccurately reported on my credit profile. 

I urgently request the CFPBs intervention to rectify this situation. I demand the immediate removal of this account from my credit reports due to the absence of proper documentation and the failure to follow legal requirements regarding repossession and debt collection. 

Your prompt assistance in addressing this issue and ensuring that my credit report is corrected is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, following my last complaint on XX/XX/XXXX, I called in to figure out what in the world is going on with my loans. Between all the news regarding the SAVE plan, the issues regarding payment pauses, I wasn't sure whether my XXXX payment would be correct. 
The initial customer service provider told me he couldn't help me and transferred me to a specialist. The specialist indicated that yes, I could transfer back to my IDR plan, with a recertification date of XX/XX/XXXX, that the " administrative forbearance '' I had requested would count towards my PLSF, and asked if I wanted to request a forbearance while the IDR plan was placed back on. I said yes. I was happy with the result. 

Meanwhile, she didn't do what she said. The account was not switched. The auto-debit took out the incorrect amount in XXXX, and over drafted my bank account. 

I just called today and the lady I spoke with, while cordial, tried to help me, but couldn't. The money was " poof '' gone. Nothing they could do about the fact that I relied upon the " specialist 's '' statements that the IDR plan was going to be back on and there would be a processing forbearance while they figured it out. The same thing happened - she put me on a processing forbearance while they figured it out. She indicated she couldn't put it in writing. I requested a recording of the prior interaction. I requested a recording of today 's interaction. She said they can't give those out so I asked to speak with a supervisor. 

This feels crazy- repeating the same thing over and over again with the same result. Still not sure what is going on. 

I feel taken advantage of by these folks. I want a new loan servicer that can deal with my account professionally. Please help me.

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2.

The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report.
