Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Company: Ascent Holding Co
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a private student loan that appears under my name with Ascent Funding. I did not authorize or complete this loan, and I believe it may have been fraudulently opened in connection with XXXX ( formerly XXXX XXXX ) which is under federal scrutiny for predatory loan practices. 

I sent a formal written dispute and request for documentation to Ascent Funding by mail on XX/XX/year>. I received no response. I followed up with a second mailed request on XX/XX/year>, again demanding full validation of the loan, including any signed agreements or proof of authorization. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Ascent responded by stating that they would only provide documentation if I created an online account with them. Conditioning my right to access legal documentation on creating an account is not acceptable and obstructs my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and, if applicable, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

As of XX/XX/year>, it has been 30 days since my original dispute was sent. Ascent has not provided any of the requested documentation by physical mail, secure email, or any other valid means. This places them in violation of their obligations under federal law, which requires them to respond to disputes within 30 days and to provide verification upon request. 

I have already submitted a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). I am now requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) take appropriate action to : XXXX Ascent  to provide full documentation validating this loan without requiring an online account ; Remove the account from any credit reports if it can not be verified ; Investigate Ascents noncompliance with federal consumer protection laws.
