Despite several attempts to resolve these issues, the same errors keep resurfacing on my report.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Against Jefferson Capital for Attempting to Collect on an Invalid Spring Account To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Jefferson Capital Systems for attempting to collect on an alleged debt related to a Spring account that I do not owe.

Jefferson Capital has reported this account to the credit bureaus and is pursuing collection activity despite the fact that I have no knowledge of this account, nor have I ever opened or authorized such an account. This is a clear violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

I have previously requested proper validation of the debt, but Jefferson Capital has failed to provide adequate documentation to prove that this account belongs to me or that the debt is valid. Instead, they continue to pursue collection and negatively affect my credit report.

I am requesting the CFPB to investigate this matter and require Jefferson Capital to : Cease all collection activity related to this account.

Remove any reporting of this debt from all credit bureaus.

Provide evidence of how they obtained my information and why they believe I am responsible for this alleged debt.

This issue has caused undue stress and damage to my credit profile. I respectfully ask for your assistance in resolving it as quickly as possible.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
" 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I attended XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX to XXXX. As a condition of continuing enrollment, the school required me to take out a private student loan through XXXX XXXX in addition to my federal FAFSA loans. This loan was disbursed on XX/XX/XXXX, and later transferred to XXXX, then MOHELA. 

I paid off the full loan balance of {$30000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. Despite the fact that this loan was mandated by the school, is reflected in both my FAFSA and MOHELA records, and was tied directly to my education at a school included in the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX settlement, I was told that the loan is ineligible for relief or refund. 

I contacted XXXX, who referred me to MOHELA, stating they no longer have records of the account other than confirming it was paid. I contacted MOHELA over two weeks ago and received a response from their Office of the Customer Advocate. Their message included conflicting payoff dates ( XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ), and claimed that because the loan is private and paid off, it is ineligible for any misconduct-based refund. 

This response is not only inconsistent, but it also fails to consider the core issue : this private loan was not voluntary it was required by a school found guilty of fraud and predatory practices. I am now left with no support, no clear answers, and no recourse for a loan I was forced to take out and paid in full. 

I am requesting that my situation be reviewed, and that MOHELA or the appropriate agency be held accountable for properly addressing this case and issuing a refund based on the schools misconduct and the unjust exclusion of private loan borrowers who fulfilled their obligations.
